sam in Ohio.

The seventh Congressional Convention, repre-
sented by Mr. Harlan, adopted the following reso-
luton
"We think it would be wise and expedient to
cooperate, by committee or otherwise, with the
Republican National Convention, which assemblies
at Pittsburg on the same day: provided such CO.
operation may not result in ignoring our princi-
pies"
The Cincinnati Times says:
The salvo providing such cooperation may
not result in ignoring principles is veritable
humbug and would not have been mentioned but
for the fact that this cooperation has once al
ready resulted here in Ohio, in ignoring Ameri-
can principles" Having been once betrayed, we
trust the American party will not again walk up
directly to the shambles to be slaughtered and cut
up "for the benefit of whom it may concern"
Directly in opposition to the Clinton county, or
Seventh Congressional District Convention, is the
resolution Of similar body, representing High
land Adams, Brown, and Clermont counties,
which elected Judge Fshback delegate to the
nominating Presidential Convention, and instruct
ed him to
"Vote for none but genuine Americans-mem-
bers of the order-f,r candidates for President and
| Vice President, and to fuse with none whatever,
who would not come square our platform OF prin-
ciples. Resolutions were further passed. endorsing
the report of the committee on the state of the
ORDER made at the late State Council and instruct
ing the Senators and Representatives of this Con-
gressona District in the Ohio Legislature, to vote
| for no man for United States Senator, but true
member of the American order. A resolution was
introduced, endorsing j. R. Emrie in his course in
| Congress, in voting throughout for Banks, and
promptly voted down."
Furthermore, on the American side, and in op-
position to the 7th district are the resolutions
passed in Fairfield county, Ohio, to wit:
| Resolued, That we stand pledged to maintain
| the American doctrine intact, aud oppose oil fu.
sion with any party which has for its object the
making Of any other than the American question
the leading and paramount one in our national
politics.
| Resolved That we will not submit to have o1tr
organization made the pack-horse for all the col
lateral and sectional questions that do at this tme
or may hereafter, agitate the country but are de-
| termned to support no man for office who is not
thoroughly American"
! Resolved That this council do not approve Of
| the course of that portion of the American men,
| bers of the House Of Representatives who have
persisted in casting their votes for Mr.. Banks,
whose sentiments are opposed to our organiza-
| tion and that we heartily affirm the decided stand
| taken by Messrs. Harrison and Moore of the Ohio
delegation, in casting their votes for the man who
has the frmness and independence to declare him
self in favor of the doctrines of the American
| party.
Resolved That the American party should here
after affiliate with no party whose distinctive fea-
lures are antagonistcal but invite all, of every
name, upon minor topics to unite with in bring
ing about the objects set forth in the preamble to
| these resolutions.
These are sufficient illustrations of a determine
tion in Ohio that the American party will not again
fuse with those who condemn our principles, and are
opposed to US party Bullet us again repeat the
warning already given against postponing the nomi-
nations for President and Vice President for such
procrastination will most assuredy be fatal to the
party in Ohio, by again giving the lead to the Re-
publcans, thus placing US again in the rear as mere
rank and file, to do the bidding of fanatcal lead
ers, what we can do better under our own. We
trust that everywhere throughout Ohio, strenuous
exertons will be made to purify the American
party, and that whether successful not in its ef
forts to obtain political power the results may be
the legitimate consequences, the real expression
Of the popular sentiment
