WHEREAS, The delegates from Ashland
county have mcti in Convention at Mansfield, for
the purpose Of putting in nomination a candi-
date for Senator from this Senatorial district,
and,

tied in justice and by democratic usage, for
the last eight years, to a representative in the
Senate, which right has been unjustly andper-
sistently refused to US by Richland county, who
now after solemn and repeated pledges, by her
candidates and other prominent men to the
contrary, are endeavoring to put in nomi-
nation a man who but two years ago had SOL
EMMY pledged himself to us that he would not
be a candidate for reelection, and that he
would use his influence for the nomination of
a candidate from Ashland county; therefore,
Resolved, That in Convention assembled as
delegates from Ashland county, to. put in nom-
ination a, candidate for Senator, and having
unanimously agreed upon Gen. DOM s.. Full
TON as that candidate, that we viii give him
our entire and hearty support.
Resolved, That when our democratic breth-
rem of Richland county accord to us a voice in
the Senatorial district, and enthusiastically a
candidate, we will give them the right hand of
democratic fellowship and do our share, as
heretofore, in tho election of our district Off
GERS, and not before.
On motion, the report of the committee was
received and unanimously adopted.
= On motion it was further
Resolved, That we, as delegates to this Con
%vention, pledge to each other our honor, that
we will use all honorable exertions to carry out
and bring TO a successful issue the cou1 Sc of
action this day by us resolved upon.
The committee of conference having re-
ported that the committee from Richland coun.
ty only proposed the nomination of Mr.. CANT
WELL, in consideration OF promises ad in6nitum
for the future to Ashland county, which prop
osition was respectfully declined, therefore, on
motion, it was resolved that this convention do
