I COMMITTEE.
4 Below VIC give the resolutions adopted by
j The Republican State Central Committee,
which assembled at Columbus on Thursday
+ of last week. They were offered by Hon.
{ GE o. M. PAEsoNs- Chairman of lie Commit
6 ice, and after being thoroughly discussed, were
adopted by a unanimous vote In response
to what is believed to be the sen ntiment of
nine tcnths of the people of all parties, they
propose for the time being 10 ignore political
issues in order that we may present united
front aud devote all our energies to a vigor-
Gus and successful prosecution Of The contest
( pow. progressing involving the very existence
! Of our government. In times like these a
heated political contest is not only 7uncalled
I FOR, but wjuld be in a high degree criminal
as it would not fail to give encouragement to
the rebels, whose only hopes of snccess are
based upon divided North. The Republi-
cans being in power in the State, and the
stronger party, it was proper they should
take the initiative by of.ring the olive-hranch
10 their political opponents They. have,
through The body authorized to speak in their
, behalf, discharged that duty and if their prop
osilion is, met in the spirit, with which
it was made an object will be attained that
must meet the appreciation of eYerypatriotic
iOter of his country. 9 ss a'9f.t-

to be seen Hut from the stand on The side OF

incnt Democrats OF 'Le State the alaerity With
which .,pembers OF the party in large MINI
bers have, ttukcn up arms in defense Of the
government, and the known Syn7pathy of the
masses op the side Or right and Justice. there
is every reason 10 hope that the copper
heads, as they are well called. will not sue
coed in marshaling any considerable postion
of lbc party under the lead of Vallandigham,
whose very name is Leld in adherence by all |
loyal citizens. a=5 /
Il Iie movement under consideration does
not contemplate an abandonment of party
organizations. It siwPly proposes to hold
them7it allegiance till the country is relieved
from athe perils which environ it; when, if
deemed advisable or expeiient, party distinc-
tioIIs can be resumed and party machinery
again be put in motion. Whatever may be
tue result the Republican Committee, speak.
ing for the party, will have the satisfaction of
knowing that they in good faith did all they
could 10 effect so desirable an object.
WHKREAs, 1t is the duty of all citizens in
these times Of n rational perils, TO lay aside all
differences of political opinions and unite in
defense Of their Government; therefore.
