Chase i'm Ohio.

Four Congressional districts have chosen dele
gates to the Republican State Convention of Ohio
in favor Of Governor Chase. Ohio is undoubtedly
in favor Of Chase as the most available candidate
for President.
We are informed by one of the members of the
Republican Association" in this city, that Gov
ernor Chase is the most popular Of all the candi-
dates for the Presidency with the genuine " Re-
publcans." They say that he can carry Ohio,
while neither Fremont, nor Hale, nor Seward, can
carry either Of the large States; and that Judge
Mclean having written an article in the Intefi-
gencer, in lS47, declaring the Wilmot Proviso I'M
constitutional, and having decided the Fugitive
Slave law to be constitutional, s unavailable.
With Chase they expect to carry Vermont Ohio,
Wisconsin, and Kansas, If admitted into the Union
before the election. Then, should there be no
election by the people, they expect to have strength
enough in the House to drive most excellent
bargain for themselves with the Democrats in the
way of Federal appointments.
Thisis the Republican" programme, as it stands
at present.
Union Of Democrats and Republicans.
We have already stated TINT In nearly all the
towns and cities Of New York, at the spring cleo
tons, there was fusion of Republicans and Dem
ocrats against the American party By the follow
ing letter in the New York Tribune, 1t is also APP
parent that at the recent election in Philadelphia
the.Democrats made important concessions to the
Republicans in order to secure their support:
PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY,,
May Z, 1856.
There can be no stronger evidence Of
the strength of the popular feeling here in favor
of the leading views Of the Republican party than
the fact that the Dcmocrats--always reputed to be
sagacious oliticisns-studiOusly avoided taking
issue with the Republicans on their published
declarations in favor Of the speedy admission of
Kansas into the Union as a free State and free
dom for all the Territories belonging to the Uni
ted States.
A wellfounded rumor Is in circulation that Mr.
Vaux issued instructions to the effect that It would
not do for their party to oppose proposition so
reasonable and just. There seems to be not much
room for doubt but that he and several other prom
inent Democrats are more than little Reederized
on this particular point. II cannot be denied but
that many voted for him, believing him to be 40,
who were not willing tovote for Mr.. Moore and his
ticket because Of the speech--a part of which has
been already introduced-and for the further rea-
son that they could not consent TO vote for men
who were running as the especial friends Of ma
tional candidates whom nine tenhs of the citizens
Of Pennsylvania opposed to the present national
administration will refuse to support
The vote polled for the Republican ticket Is an
index of the intensity Of feeling that exists here
In favor Of the Republican cause. II was not ex-
pected under the circumstances that IL would be
near so large. Az has been before said the choice
lay between the candidates Of two rival parties,
neither of whom we're running directly on the Re-
publican issue. Many, knowing that Il would be
impossible to elect the Republican candidates felt
themselves compelled to drop them to vote for the
candidates least Objectionable, whose election was
more sure. Those who voted the Republican tick
ct voted without regard to policy, and on princ-
pie alone.
The result has shown that no party can succeed
in Philadelphia will be the case throughout the
State of Pennsylvania, that win boldly deny the
doctrine Of the sovereignty Of States within the
respective States, and the right Of the Federal
Government to limit the further extension Of sla-
very. T.G. A.
