And who think you, reader, was Chairman

Presidency His associates in the Committee
were JouN + F,RNswonrH, the notorious abd-
ltionist, who at present represents the Chicago
District in Congress, and lCnAHoD CADDNG
Is il any wonder that with such II record
we find the most notorious and ultra abolition
lists in the country, laboring for Mr.. l.NcoLN's
election2 Il it any wonder thai the negro
FRED. DorGLAs paper, urges the negro voters
of the State of New York to support him p
Is it any wonder that the Western Reserve
the hot bed Of AL0itionism and ianaticism 10
Ohio, is so jubilant over his nomination p
Have they not all cause for their action
have they not guaranty that their yeiSs will,
if LINCOLN is elected, be fully and completely
carried OUT
We ask the National men Of southern Ohio
whether they are willing to endorse n party
which nonlnates for the highest office in the
gin Of the American people, man who en-
tertnns the doctrines of the resolution above
Inoted2 A large majority of our paople
would not vote for SEWARD, or CHASE, or Gin.
DINGs were n thousand conventions 10 nom
mate either one of them for the Presidency
Aud wherein does ABRAHAM LINCOLN differ
from them2 What act has he performed
which shows him n more conservative man
What speech has he delivered eyidencng
more nationality Where has he exhibited
II greater love for the Union, or more reyer-
ence for the Constitution, than either SEwARn,
CHASE or GpDlNos2 II cannot be found;
bnt, On the contrary he has himself virtually
boasied, in This city, that he vas in advance
Of SEWARD and the originator of the "irre,
pressble conAict," aud the resolution quoted
exhibits proof of sentiments as ultra and MS
sectionai-as much 'n violation of the Con-
sttion '-as destructive Of the fundamental
principles on which the Union of tie States
rests AS any ever advanced and upheld by
either CHASE or GIDDNGs
