10 tie State CuuncH of Ohio:
The onmittee on the State of the Or
dcr,to Which YVES referred the report of the
President, have considered the same, and
beg leave to report, that IN view of the
approaching session of the National Couu-
Gil, at Philadelphia, and in good faith TO
The States represented in tie Convention
of Americans at Cincinnati in November
last, it Is inexpedient for this State Co4n-
Gil to leg:sla upon the subject of the re-
ports submitted TO the said Cnnvenion at
Cincinnati. The whole subject will
again come before the National body: and
where it is expected that the Delegation
from Ohio will strenuously oppose the
"twelfth section of the Platform adop-
ted by the Convention at Phlad phia,
in June last.
The Principles of the American Party
having been proclaimed to the world, tie
committee are of opinion, that heIe after
purely American nominations should be
made for President and Vice President ol
the United States, and for all State and
local offices, .
On the subject of secrecy, this 81
Council cannot l"gislate any farther than
to express an opinion; and the committee
would recommend that the subject be re-
ferred to the National Council Respect
fully submitted.
