RESOLUTIONS.

The democracy other union men of Ohio
in convention assembled, adopt and declare
the following resolutions as the basis upon
which they appeal to all patriotic Union
and liberty loving citizens to unite and raj.
ly in support Of the ticket this day present.
ed:
l. ResOlred, That the civil war by which
our country is at present distracted, is the
natural offspring Of misguided Sectionism,
engendered by fanatical agitators North as
well as South /; and that the Demo
cratic party have equally opposed the ex-
tremists Of both sections, and having at all
times zealously contended for the admins
tration Of the General Government within
its constitutional limits, that party is in no
way responsible for the calamties that have
resulted from departure from its doctrines
and disregard Of its warnings and ad.
vice.
2. Res0lccd, That in this National emer.
geney, the Democracy and other Union
men Of Ohio banishing all feeling of passion
or resentment, will recoiIect only their du.
ty to the whole country that this war
should not be waged in any spirit of oppres.
sion, nor for any purpose Of conquest or
sublectlon, nor purpose of oyerthrowing or
interfering with the rights or established
institutions OF the States but 10 defend and
maintain the supremacy Of the Constitution
and to preserve the Uuion with all the dir
nifty, equality, and rights of tie seyera
States unimpaired, and that as soon as tbasa
objects are accomplished, The war ought Il
cease.
g. That while we deem it the duty O
every citizen to support aud sustain III
Government, constitutionally administered
we recommend that the Legislatures of Il
several States adopt the proper measure
for calling National ConV Gtion for Il
purpose of settling our pr cent dificultie
storting and preserving the Union.
4. That the corruption, extravaganza, il
incompetency and faVorteism shown in Il
administration of the war Departments {
State and Federal Governments, deserV
and receive our unqualified condemnation
and ought to be Immediately corrected an
reformed
8. That the volunteer soldiers who, a
the call Of their country, promptly wen
forth 20 the battle in defense of the Consti
tuition and its Laws, and who, in many ca
seS, haze been compelled TO fight under mex
perienesd officers, are entitled to our heart.

they have discharged their duties.
6. That the privilege o. the writ Of ha

THE BENcH-On last Monday, Hon. George
Taylor of Huntington County, entered on the
discharge of the duties incumbent on him, as
President Judge of the several Courts of this
County, under new commission. He was elec-
ted in 1851 for ten years, and reelected un0nt-
mously at the last election. BY virtue OF that
election he will preside in the several Courts OF
this County, until December Term 1871. His
district is as during his late term Cambria, Blair
and Huntingdon. During the campaign which
closed on the second Tuesday of October, we
more than once referred to Judge Taylor editorl-
ally, and always expressed ourself in favor of
the voters of the Judicial District unanimously
re-electing him to the position he then filled. The
voters of the district agreed with us, and he was
unanimously reelected 50 without respect to par
typ This is a compliment of which after hav
ing borne the Judicial ermine for ten years, he
may be Justly proud, and bequeath as rich leg
acy unto his issue.
Judge Easily, as Associate Judge, on last Mon
day, entered on the discharge Of the second term
of that office The vote by which he was re-elect-
ed is the best evidence of the faithful manner in
which he discharged tie duties Of the position.
His recent services in the army, as one of the
defenders of the Union and the Constitution,
have given him lasting place in the hearts of
the true patriots of Cambria.
Henry c. Devine. Esq, we were delighted to
observe, took his seat on the left hand of Judge
Taylor with the mingled urbanity and
dignity becoming the position. We are glad
to see an an ex editor occupying a position on
the bench. 1t while Harry was connected
with this establishment that first scribbled
for the public press, aud he always willingly
gave place to the lucubrations Of our brain in
the columns of the Democrat and Sentinel. lie
is qualified for the position to which the people
have elevated him, and will we are certain, make
a worthy and popular officer. May success in
the future attend him, say we.

We can't 0blidge You

The Republican leaders seem very idignant at
the Democracy of Cambria, because they have
united, and consigned past differences to oblivion.
Gentlemen, we are very sorry for you, but it
can't be helped We can't afford to quarrel and
wrangie among ourselves to Oblidge you. We
therefore advise you not to fret about the matter.
The " days of your glory" have departed, never
to return, and it therefore behooves you, like SEN
sible men to submit to your fate without grumb-
ling.
