fOlIlC6ls
The great Union Convention of Ohio
met at Columbus on Thursday. TWAS
a glorious gathering, imposing in num-
bers and abundant in patriotism. Party
lines were forgotten, and men of
all former political persuasions stood
shoulder to shoulder. Hon. Thomas
Ewing was permanent President. Mr..
Ewing was one of those patriotic
Wings who sustained Gen. Jackson's
stand against the nulli6ers in 1882.
The proceedings of the Convention
were entirely harmonious, and the fol-
lowing Union ticket was put in nomina-
ton: .,~.. ~ .e.t
For Governor-David Todd.
For Lieut.. Governor-B. F. Stanton.
For Treasurer-Volney Dorsey.
For Supreme Judge-Josiah Scott.
For Secretary of State--B. r. Cowen.
For Board Of Public Works-John
Lawrence. Soc
The ticket stands, three Democrats,
three Republicans and one American,
and gives universal satisfaction.
The resolutions adopted unanimous
ly, amid great enthusiasm, are as fol-
lows: $3.50 e SEES psrf id Niae
RESOLVED, 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
arms around the Capital that in this
national emergency we, banishing all
feeling of mere passion or resentment,
will recollect only our duty to the whole
country that this war is not waged
upon our part in any spirit of oppres-
sion, nor for any purpose of conquest
or subjugation, 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 to
preserve the Union, with all the dignity,
equality and right of the several States
unimpaired, and that as soon as these
objects are accomplished, the wal
ought to cease.
Res0lyed, In the language of Hon.
Joe Holt, we are for this Union with.
out conditions-one and indivisible,
now and forever-for its preservation
at any or every cost of blood and treas.
ure against all its assailants, and
against any and every compromise that
may be proposed to be made under the
guns of the rebels. ~
The motto of this Convention was

party, for the sake of the Union, and
to put down the rebellion by all means

General Order No. 6.
The Major General Commanding de.
sires and requests that in future there
may be a more perfect respect for the
Sabbath on the part of his command.
We are fighting in holy cause, and
should endeaver to deserve the benign
favor of the Creator. Unless in case
of an attack by the enemy, or some
other extreme military necessity, it is
commended to commanding officers,
that all work shall be suspended on the
Sabbath that no unnecessary move
ments shall be made on that day; that
the men as far as possible, shall be per-
mitted to rest from their labors; that
they shall attend Divine service after
the customary morning inspection, and
that officers and men alike use their in
fluence to ensure the utmost decorum
and vuiet on that day. The General
commanding regards this as no idle
form. One days rest is necessary for
man and animals; more than this, the
observance of the holy day of the God
OF Mercy and of Battles, is our sacred
duty.

Now or Never.


The time for decisive operations, on
the part of our armies, is at hand.
The heat and climatic dangers of the
Summer, when to march Northern
army into the "Sunny South" would
be fatal to our soldiers and to our cause,
will soon be succeeded by the mild
weather of the salubrious Autumn, and
then great movements will be made and
great blows struck for the Government
and the Union.
Now is the time, if ever, for all pat
riots all loyal men-all citizens who
prize the blessings of national liberty,
prosperity and peace, to put forth their
best efforts in behalf of the righteous
cause of the Union and the Govern
ment. Now is the4ime for "union for
the sake of the Union"-for vigorous
war for the sake of speedy and per.
manent peace-for the general and
generous uprising of this mighty peo-
pie in the defence of their liberties and
the glory of their nationality.
The war must 60 on. The enemy is
in the field, more bold, defiant and un-
yielding than ever before. He is op-
posed to any peace short of the de-
struction of the Constitution and Union
of our fathers. He is battling to dis
member and subvert the nation, and to
extinguish the respondent glory of the
American name. We must either fight
him till he is crushed, or yield submits
sively, like a nation of towards and
slaves, to his unholy dictation. 1t is
our duty, therefore, to fight and crush
him soon. 7a
There is but one course for us to take
but one method of establishing a
peace, and redeeming the country from
impending ruin. That course, that
method is the force Of arms. We
must fight for our country-fght hard
and CALAMITY, or all will be lost, and
we prove ourselves unworthy of the
blessings of liberty and national great
ness.
Then, in the name of every consid-
Grafton of manhood, patriotism and
honor, We appeal to all our people to
make up their minds, once for all, to
mite firmly and resolutely in the great
work that is before us. Let the past
be forgotten, and the imperative duty
of the present and the probable events
of the future be the objects of our ear.
nest attention and efforts.
Let the great armies of the Govern.
ment which are to move forward for
the putting down of this outrageous re-
bellion, be rendered as formidable and
resistless as the great pillows of the
seas sweeping in their power as the
mighty avalanche of the Alpine noun.

word or act, do something to strength.

it is every mans duty to do his very ut
