The Union Convention Of the State Of
Ohio met yesterday az Columbus, and
nominated ticket which will probably
be elected BY eighty Thousand majority.
The nominee for Governor 10 Hon. David
Tod, than Whom there Is not better or
more uncomproinising Democrat in the
notion. He has been Governor Of Ohio
before, and is known 20 the people az a
man Of incorruptible integrity. He re-
fused nomination by the Democratic
State Convention, because Il was nartv
Convention. He was the idol OF the
Democracy Of Ohio, and will be renem-
bered os the man who took the chair in
the Baltimore Convention when the trai-
tor Caleb Gushing lel. lie is as good a
Democrat now as he was then, and he Is
sustaining the Government; and we re-
peat that no man can be a good Demo-
crat who does not sustain the Govern
ment Of his country in time Of war--for-
eign or civil.
The Republicans Of Ohio have set an
example of honesty and sincerity which
will do more to bind the people together
in the support Of the Union, than any
thing else that could be devised.-[ Chi

The Union aud the War
DEATm LED REPENTANCE.

The Democratic party leaders here are
getting heartily sick Of the position
which they have assumed, In opposition
to tho war and the tox to sustain the
Government. They fnd that il Is eI-
cecdingly unpopular end that there is
moro patriotism in the people than they
supposed--pAtriotism that cannot be
bought by few dollars. They fnd their
position getting rather hot for them and
they are now trying to sneak out and
to make people believe that they are the
strongest kind Of war men, and that they
have been such from the beginning. But
the people will not be gullcd by these
death bed confessions. They will sup
port the genuine Union ticket.

ANTI-TAX TRAITORs.

ing about high taxes, are not true Patri-
OTIS.
The amount Of war tax to be raised in
Ohio is not quite 81 100000, whereas the
taxable property in the State amounts to
$500 ,OO0, GOO. The amount to be raised
therefore is not quite two mills on the

only have to pay $40 tax.

Union Democrats, Re

That the rebels regard the refu-
sal of the Democratic organization,
as such, to unite with the Repub-
licans on one ticket ard platform,
as an evidence of its friendship for
them, and its hostility to the pros
ecution ofthe war. Therefore, eve.
ry vote cast for the so called Dem
ocratic State ticket will be an act of
encouragement to the rebels, con.
tirming them in the belief that there
is really a party in Ohio who favor
their cause.
Remember, that by voting to en-
courage the rebels. you vote to pro-
long the war, to increase the
National debt, and the burden of
taxation on yourselfand children.
VIII You vote against not only your
country's interest, but what is mani
festly your own personal intereBtl
Remember. that by voting the
Union ticket, you vote for the
maintainance of Democratic G0c.
ernment on this continent, which
tho rebels desire to overthrow, so
that they can substitute the rule of
a Slave-holding AristOcracy or
Monarchy. In joining the Union
organization, therefore, You do not
cease to he democrats, but act as
consistent, intelligent democrats
should act.-FTemOat Dem.

The Dntr OF Denocrmts

From the Chicago Post, Dem )scpt lO.l
The Democratic party owe no gratitude
10 the miscreants now in rebellion. The
wretch who, under the guiso ofa Demo-
cratic paper or Democratic platform, cries
out for forbearance toward "our brethren
Of the South" Is not Democrat, but
mere tool of the enemy. There is no
brotherhood between the Democracy of
the North and the men now in rebellion.
The ties Of brotherhood have long since
been severed. The only allies, tho only
men at the North who can be claimed BY
the rebels as brethren are the Garrisons
and Phillipses. Between tho two there
Is an iuopressible sympathy. Both hate
the Constitution; both seek 10 destroy il,
and between both and the Democracy
there is a gulf so deep That no human
science can invent bridge strong enough
TO enable union Of their members. One
year ago "our brethren" at the South un-
masked themselves nt Charleston. For
twenty years the Democrats Of the North
had been beasts Of burden under their
"Southern brethren" they had walked
on foot while the gentlemen from the
South Todei they had to carry upon their
shoulders tho baggage and the camp
equipage, and they had done all that their
"Southern brethern" had asked ofthem.- -
At Charleston they were required to be-
come menials, 10 become body and soul
the slaves of the Yunceys, Rhetts and
Slidels. Thoy refused. To their eter-
nal homer be it said, they declared them
selves free men, and that they would be
pack-horscs no longer. In tlSe city of
Charleston, in sight Of Sumter, they re-
fused to be degraded, and insisted upon
their fraPdom How were they traatadl
Did traternal affection, or the memory of
long years of devotion soften the hearts
Of their "Southern brcthern," Not so.
State after State seeded from the Con-
yenton, and the election of Lincoln was
then determined upon by the Southern
traitors, and that determination was made
good.
The Democracy Of the North in 1860
declared themselvs free. Shall they in
1861, 60 back TO Charleston and pick up
the dirty livery they rejected a year agol
Shall they now on their knees, beg for
peace from the men who spOt upon and
revilcd thom twelve-month gonet
"Our Southern brethren" when they
commenced this unholy war, knew that
there were one million and half Of voters
at the North who were not Republicans;
what did tiiey carel They either deter
mined TO ruin these million and half o.
loyal conservative men, or expected then
to become traitors before God and mar
to the country. Either estimate was in.
famous, and any Democrat who claims
affinity or brotherhood, politically, Of
course, with the men who offer this insult
is Just mean enough to be a traitor to his
country
