4. EesOAAa. That-be, and they are hereby
appointed delegates 10 represent the democracy
oil Mshoning county in the State coDreoIion TO
be held In the city OF Ceinmbas. on the 1th inst
but that, in thus responding 70 the eau Of our
State central committee, we do not endorse that |
portion Of said call rvilecting upon the efforts OF
the Government IN putting down rebellion.
2. ResoireI That in the language OF Senator |
johnson, nthe present civil war was forced up
on the country by the dislnionisls in the South !
eru States who are now in rebelhAn against the /!
Oonstitutional Government; that in this emer. !
gency the government, banishing all passion and
resent ment, should only recolect its dHy to-
the whole country. by maintaining and defen-
ding the supremacy Of the Constitution and
laws, and as soon as this is accomplished, and
the rebels punished as they deserve, the war
ought to CEASE" and that for this purpose we
hereby pledge the President of the United
States and all other. in authority our cordial
and hearty support s, ~
3. Resolved, That rs the matter OF putting
down the rebellion now existing. Is paramount
State policy, this convention accept the propo
sitlon recently made by the republican state
central committed to surrender and give up Tor
the time all political or party organization, and
the formation IN lieu thereof of party based
solely upon the single issue of sustaining the
government handed down to US by our falhersi
and that the delegates this day appointed to re-
present u.s. be and are hereby instructed to ot-
fer in the State convention proposition to t. Is

then instructed to at once retire from said con-
veniion anu pati ioipat5 lo further x; ..s elih-

4. Reso2ved, That we regret that the editor Of
our organ, the "Mahoning Sentinel" evinces so
little interest in the great struggle for the main
tepapce Of law and order as his columns would
indicate, and we admonish him, that should his
indifference continue, he will lose our conf
dence and support.
The foregoing resolutions were offered by a
friend of Mr. Tod, as desired by him, for en-
dorsement, at the county convention held in
Garfield on the 3d. to appoint delegates to at.
tend the Columbus State convention, on the 7th;
and as before stated were courteously but unan.
imansly laid on the table.
As we remarked in our last issue, with the
two first resolutions no tault was found-not-
thor from whom one Is quoted and an interpo-
lation in the quotation the opinion and spirit
of the same being substantially endorsed and a.
dopted in the report of the committee. But,
ON account OF that portion directing our four
delegates to 'retire, bolt and secs3e from con-
vention Of four hundred, in case it should re.
fuse the proffered proposition to unite with the
republican party, and also on account Of the
uncalled for stigma and regret it would bring
upon any and every liberal minded democrat to
boldly strike al the fret dom Of the press and tC
spare the ieelin rs of Mr.. Ted, as well as our
own, in this regard, we refrain from giving
these resolutions to the public, presumirg thai
after they had been tabled by the democracy o
his own county in regular convention, we would
be iniering favor upon him, the cause and
ourseif by not publishing them. But we are
almost ready and willing to chaIleng! astonish-
ment, let whatever NAV happen. We are ever
more astonished now than when we first heard
these resolutions read. MIR. Tod has sent for
these resolutions, for the purpose Of handing
them over to the abolition paper Of this place
for publication. The resolutions must be ven
tilated. all round, and at all hazards. We free.
lv admit that this forces us with great regret
to the defence Of the position of the democracy
and our modest self even against so distiugu sh'
ed an assailant, whom we have heretofore and
on all occasions pointed to with pride and sat
isfactions as political and personal friend.
58 Az 10 the resolution meditating secession anC
treacheFy in the democratic United States Con
,yention. we have but little to say. An outra
sged and falsely abused, but still unterrifed
democracy will attend 10 that matter. 1t il
not the first time that efforts have been made
BY thankless recipients Of democratic avors tt
sell the democracy. Although it is to be re
gretted by the sincere and disinterested iriend
OF Mr. Tod, that he should see proper to taxi
such a course-and the act involves an unkind
ness to the Democratic party even beyond in
gratitude-yet we suppose he has gone hool
and line, bob and sinker.
