AesSrs. Editors AS the time ap-
pro aches for our gubernatorial election,
an anxiety is ielt hat the State Of Ohio
shall firmly adhere 10 the high position
she now occupies. Ii is the conviction
of many that we are nov upon the verge
OF troublous times. A collision between
our slave sustaining government, and
the States, seems inevitable, unless the
latter are willing tubmissively 10 yield
every thing TO the demands Of the slave
power. Believing that the freemen Of
Ohio viii stand by and maintain their
rsserrei rights at all hazards, it follows
as a matter Of course hat they will seek
for a chieftain in the CUBE rna,orial n
test, a man of undoubted ab lily TO meet
