We suggest the following resolution ol
The Hon. J. J. CErrESDES, adopted in
the U. s. House of Representatives, July
~, 1861, as a platform upon which the
Union men Of Ohio may unite in the
Fall elections
"Resolved, BY the House Of Represen-
tatives Of the Congress Of the United
States, That the present deplorable civil
war has been forced upon the country by
the disunionists Of the Southern States,
now IN revolt against the Constitutional
Government, and in.aTms around the Cap
ital.
"That in this national emergency, Con-
gress, hanishing all feeling Of mere pas
sion or resentment, will recollect only its
duty TO the whole country that this war
is not waged upon our part IN any spirit
Of oppression, nor for any purpose Of con-
quest or subiugation, nor for the purpose
Of overthrowing or interfering with the
rights or established institutions Of the
States, but to defend and maintain the
supremacy Of the Constitution, and 10
preserve the Union with oil the dignity,
equality and rights Of the several States
and that as soon as these
objects are accomplished, the war ought
to cease"

The action Of the Democratic Central
Committee Of Seneca County, In calling
a party convention, 10 nominate a party
ticket, Is loudly condemned by good I'm
ion democrats throughout the county
The greed for Office, manifested by these
party leaders nt Ibis timo, IL sickcning.
Parties and ohice-seckers have ruled
long enough and Il is high timo ne peo.
pie were ttking the matter in hand. II
ihesl irickstors persist in nominating a
party ticket, Il will be beaten, ns sursir
a. the second TuoFdsy Of October comes
round. Let a good independent Union
ticket be run and, we care not whether
the men on Il are democrats or repubH.
cans, 30 they are right on the main issue,
we will support them.

Last week we paid flying visit to C'n-
cinnuti aud found tho city very quiet
with but little business doing. On ac-
count Of tho enthusiasm Of the people
for the vigorous prosecution Of the war,
and their neurness to the border, every
thing assumes quito a military aspect.
The feeling against compromise Il
well nigh unanimous. We were told
there by men Of all parties that the only
compromise now recognized is that which
comes out Of the cannon. Though their
trade has been greatly crippled and a
| rye number Of their manufactures clos
ed they are not in favor Of adopting the
Mexican style Of politios--thut whichey-
er party is beaten at the ballot-box, must
then appeal TO the sword. They so
thoroughly feel the effects Of this first
attempt to appeal from the ballot-box to
the sword, that they are determined
to wire this rebellion cut 80 that it viii
never be attempted again In this
country.
On Sunday we witnessed tho funeral
Of Sergeant GAuLr who was killed by
Ombushcd rebels while he was making q
gallant charge with his company at the
battle Of Rich Mountain, Tho Home
Guards to tho number Of FIVE hundred
turned cut TO do funeral honors to thed
brave companion In arms.
The Home Guards, Of which there are
some Eve regiments, are all fully armed
and equipped and, il we may Judge their
looks and character from those whom we
saw, are a noble body Of men.
Party lines are almost entirely cbliter-
sted, A meeting Of the Democratic
County Committee was called for last
Saturday, but not even a quorum was
present. They appointed enough politi
cal hacks to represent the districts which
had no representatives present, 10 max,
a quorum, and then weat through th'
farce Of calling county convention, ep
poFtioning districts, &c, II VIII not AM
cannot win. We were informed By
; prominent democrat that il was the lac
desperate gasp Of a few party hacks an
wire pullers, and that under no oireum
stances can the votes Of the truly loyS
i democrats be eust for any but Unio
ticket

At the citizens meeting on Saturday

ing tho "Mahoning Rifles" a public We-
oeptioR, on their return home from
Virginia, Hon. David Tod made some re-
marks, in the course of which he took
occasion to speak in approbatoy terms
Of the action Of the Administration thus

rors and oVersights, in HE Judgement,

In revolt against the Constitutional Gov

Tho above resolution was adopted
yeas 1871, nays 9. Those who voted in
the negative were Burnett Of Kentucky,

Here we have the recorded vote Of i2i
members Of the House out Of 1913, under
the solomnity Of an oath, that tho war
was forced upon the country by the dis.
unionists Of tho seeded States. One
fact like this is worth moro than the u.s.
sertions Of the whole secession press Of
Ohio that tho war was brought on by the
uneonstitutionul acts Of the Republican
party.
