bscn nominated for Governor instead of Governor
Chase the Republican ticket would have had MAYOR
ity Of 80, COO votes.
In 1850, the Republican ticket was elected by ma
jory of 20 Co.'s eco votes being thrown away upon
an American ticket
In 1851 Gov Chase was again nominated, and after
bitter contest elected by majority OF 80
votes the residue of the State ticket having about
Is coo majority, and the Democracy eectng large
majority in both branches of the Legislature. Again
g. 263 votes were thrown away upon third candidate
for Governor
This partial defeat taught the Republicans the neces-
sfy of Kidding themselves of the mputation OF ianai-
csm and extravaganza, which was fast sinking them
into hopeless minority. ,o-o
Hence the Republican State Convention oil 1919 put
Judge Peck az the head Of the ticket. He resided IN
Scioto County the extreme southern, and most con-
servative portion of the State.
He had never before acted with the Republican
party. Gov. Corwn now for the first time enlisted
in the Republican party, and eNerted himself maInly
in support of the ticket The whole ticket was elected
by over 1900 majority, and three Republican Mem

The charges OF fanatcism and resistance 10 the laws oil
the United States were reiterated through the press
and from the stump and the recent declarations OF Mr.
Giddings and the antecedents OF Mr.. Chase, were
referred 10 in support of the charge.
This was met by Messrs. Corwin, Schenck, stanton
and Others by denial OF any responsibility OF the ne
publican party for the anecedenis or declarations oil
And II is undenabe that the Republicans owe their
success in many of the Counties and Senatorial Dis-
rcts in the Central and Southern counties TO the con-
seryatiye position assumed BY this class OF politicians

two wears ago when Gov. Chase was at the head OF
the ticket have now undeniably been carried by the
Republicans, through the influence OF conservative
men.
The same may be said of many of the counties in the
election of REPRESENTATIVES such Montgomery
Highland, Scioto, Belmont, Marion, Seneca, &c.
The Republican State ticket is again elected by q
majority of some $4,000 70, GOO light vote, and
very little effort except in the closely contested Seh
toral and Representative districts.
With these facts and this history before us, the
question arises Is it wisdom for the Republican party
of Ohio again 10 put ITS supremacy IN peril Dy putting

proper representative and exponent OF Its objects ana
I am not aware that Mr. Chase has said done
anything since the organization OF the Repuohc''h

daily approve. believe the principles and the honor
of the party Would be entirely safe in his hands, But
il is insisted by the Democracy, and claimed by some
Republicans who ought 20 know better, that the Re
nubliean party il merely a continuance of the old
Liberty party of 1874 and the FreeSo party OF l8iS
Mr. Giddngs says, in The Ashtataia Sentinel, That
these conservatives must be tolerated for the present.
because they are necessary to take care OF the bag
gage Everything that is said or done, which gives
currency to this idea tends para and PROSTATE
the Republican party of Ohio, and Of the whole North
West.
| can conceive of nothing that would go so far to
strengthen this idea as the election of Mr. Chase TO the
Senate.
THF TRIBUNE advocated the only sensible and true
philosophy on this subject. Abate ot title of
your platform principles but encounter unneces-
sary prejudice in the selection OF your candidate he
sure that you have a man IN whose integrity ana
fidelity to your principles You can conide, ana then
the fewer preudces he has TO encounter and overcome
the better. As to the personal claims OF Gov. Chase
or ANYBODY else, utterly repudlate them as wholly
unworthy of moments consideration. There 10 a
very considerable portion of the Republicans of South
ern and Central Ohio who in favor of the election
of Gov Corwn to the Senate But TO this, II is said
that he has not been long enough identified with the
Republican party TO test bis fidelity 10 its principles
And there is certainly force in this objection.
But there are other gentlemen in Ohio beside Gov.
Chase and Gov. Corwn, who are constitutionally
eligible 10 that office, who stand midway between the
extremes that much better representatives OF the
shirt and purposes of the party than either OF them.
The papers of this city, and especially The Com
merciaI demands the immediate election OF Gov
Chase He can tolerate no delay. Would like TO
have an extra session called next week for the special
purpose Of electing Gov. Chase Senator
This is precisely the thing that ought not TO be done
If Gov Chase is TO be elected the longer it delayed
the better, Mr.. Pugh's term expires on the Sd OF
March, 1861. The first regular session OF the Senate
thereafter will meet the first Monday Of December
A. ID. 1861. IL the Federal is completed prior
TO the October election in 1861 there will be extra
session of the Legislature for the purpose OF making
the Congressional apportionment.
And If not other exigences will probably require
an extra session.
There is therefore no necessity for the election of a
Senator prior TO the Presidential election And as
Gov. Chase il candidate for President, and may be
elected TO that Office the Legislature may be compelled
20 look elsewhere for Senator. But, whoever may
be elected President there is doubt but many things
will transpre during the eventful Presidential year
which is approaching that may materially influence the
choice of Senator from Ohio.
1t is impossible to tell in advance, what precise
complexion the canvass is 20 assume.
Whether the Republican candidate is TO be Seward,
or Chase or Mclean, or Lincon-if a Republican
President is elected-we ought 10 elect Senator from
Ohio who would have enemies to punish, and who
would sympathize and harmonic with the Administra-
tion and give il a warm and cordial support. And
whether Chase Corwin Deano, would best do this,
cannot be known until after the Presidential election.
And if any man doubts Gov. COrwins fidelity TO the
principles of the Republican party the eventfnl session
of Congress which Is approaching will settle that ques
ton Give him an opportunity TO "proye his faith by
his works" But object to the election Of Senator
before the Presidential election, mainly because il can
not fail 10 operate dsastrously upon the Republican
party Of Ohio in the Presidential campaign.
IfGov. Chase is elected they viii be paralyzed by
the whitening influence of his fnatical antecedents
