TIL nemocratic Call.
The Democratic State Central Committee
which me- at Columbus on Friday last and
then and there issued q Call for q State Con-
vsutiou upon the 7th day Of August render
Cd good service TO she people Of Ohio in the
wording of the resOlutonsof the Call. For
this they have our thanks, and if they had
always been as frank and OatspOken, il would
have been better for their deceived followers
in times past The second resolution Of the
Call reads Is follows;
Received further, That all the electors of
the state Of Ohio, who are in favor Of per-
petuating the principles upon which our
Union was founded, and are convinced that
the present State and National Administra-
tious ere wholly incompetent 70 manage the
government In its present critical condition.
ss vel IS all who are opposed to the gross
extraTarancs and corruption now so alarm
inglv prevslent IN public affairs, be earnest
/ Viryited 70 unite with the Democracy in
this hour OF our eountry's peril, and thus re-
deem the State, and place its administration
60 eompstsnt han0s.
The HsleetOrs Of the State Of Chic" nov
know just what they are expected to do, IT
they fall in with this proposition. They are
szpseted-snd, if they give allegiance to
this COMMITTEES, and to those who delight to
can themselves the wheel horses of De-
mocncy,n commanded-to fOrswear all rec
pect and adherence to the present Admins
trations, both State and NATIONAL they are
to identity themselves with Vallandigham
and his sympathy with treason, and they
are TO use all possible means in their power
70 shwart the plans Of the Administration il
crushing rebellion, by giving aid and com
fort to the rebels. We stated a few days agc
that the course Of certain politicians, anC
especially of certain political newspapers
in this State, was as directly in ~sympath!
with treason as could be conceived. ThOs
tearnals are just the ones which have had
hand in drafting this resolution, and whicI
viii support it to the best of their small abil
ity. The Union is Of 40 value to them
they would destroy the prestige, the glor,
and the very existence OF their country 10
the sake of continuing the reign Of Demo
cratic plumber. And they ask the people G
free and enlightened Ohio, who have sen
forth thirty thousand men to fight for tn
honor Of our country, to declare their syn
patty with treason, and to bid their SOM
brothers and fathers return from the batil
feId and be content to see the naioPsl hor
OF depart forever.
We are glad the Central Committee
have come out thus boldly. It leaves n
possible excuse for those of The voters Of Ii
State who Will support such a conspiracy
But this Committee does not speak the voiC
of the Democracy of the State; that 7oiC
was heard in the dispatch of Hon. Davi
Tod to the President that 200, 900 of III
Democrats Of Ohio were ready to uphold hi
this faction, FhO would thus endeavOr
drag the whole of that party down to the
reasonable level, will find that their acts an
their creed viii be Indignantly soOrned b
the honest majority who have hithert
marched in the Democratic ranks.
Il is not wiki such men as these that "
advocate q aunion" upon a Union ticket
But it is with the honest patriots of Ohio,
whatever former name or party, who wi
subscribe to the vigorous prosecution Of thi
war, until every rebel is brought to submii
sion to the national authority, and who wi
rally, as Ohio has nobly done, to the suppoi
Of the Administration in driving treason b
fore the Grand Army of he United Stat,
until IT seeks refuge beneath the waters
the Gulf. Let all such rally to one commo
standard for the defence of ouE country an
our flag, and until honorable peace reigr
once more ever our land-sPeace not brougf
about by compromise or treaty, but by an III
conditional surrender of the rebels-let L
hsve good and true patriots to fill our Office
of trust, and let partisan watchwords be i0
gotten. In this way can we best rebuE
those who would sell our State to rebellion
and, If they could, cast her into the lap
the Southern COnfederacy itself.
