upon which they appeal to all patriotic Union
and liberty loving citizens to unite and rally

presented
|. Resoloed, That the civil war by which our
country is at present distracted, is the natural
offspring OF misguided soctonaism, cngcn-
dercd by ianatical agitators North as well as
South, and that the Democratic party hav-
ing equally opposed the extremists of both
sections, and having at all times Zcalousl
contended for the administration ofthc Gen
cral Government within its constitu tiona'
limits, that party is in no way responsible fol
calamiticstha havc.resulted from a departur,
rom its doctrines, and disregard of il,

= Resolved, That in this National emer-
gency, the Democracy and other Union men
ofOhjo, banishing all.fceling of passion OF
resentment, will recollect only their duty to
the whole country; that this war should not
be Waged IN any spirit of oppression, nor ioI
any purpose Of conquest or subjugation, nol
purpose of ovcrthrowing or interfering with
the rights of established Institutions of the
States, but to defend and maintain the SUI
| prcmacy OF the Constitution, and to preserve
the Union with all the dignity, eg Lality, and
rights Of the several States unimpaired, and
that as soon as these objects are accomplished,
the war ought to cease.

citizen to support and sustain the Govern

all nations in His hands, protect us from the
Abolitonists Of the North, and tho fire caters

He would do all in his power to bring the
country out of tho present peril, except to

sickness Among tho Yankees.


A correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
sas1 writing from Camp Nevin, near
Elizabethtown, says: s.7,it
Every day we finger here increases the
sickness among the soldiers. In some of
the regiments the sick list already COM
prises ter, per cent. of the whole strength
goo TO the regiment) and the diseases
begin to assume more serious form. Too
many cases of typhoid fever are being
developed, while chills, disrrhoea, rheu-
mstism, and measles continue frequent
Flour has recently been issued to the
men instead of bread or crackers, and as
they have had no good means of baking,
the sickness has doubtless been largely
increased from this cause alone. Many
of the companies are now obviating this
difficulty by building good ovens, after
the old fashioned "Dutch" pattern.
Inaction, too, produces depression
that often sends men to the hospital
Readers have, often, perhaps, stumbled
over the word nostalgia in Surgeons re-
ports, and have naturally supposed it to
be some serious epidemic, peculiar to the
camps. So it is, but it will be better un-
derstood when called by the more familiar
name of Home Sickness. Comfortable
people at home may smile, but in the stu
pid inaction of camps of instruction, it
is sad fact that Home Sickness, if not
az fatal, is at least as serious . malady
for the time as measles or fever. 3 -.

There Is substantially little differences
of opinion as to the expedieucy of en-
ploying acontrabands," where their SER
vices can properly be procured, to do the
heavy drudging incident TO campaigning
in the Southern country. The adsanta-
ges and policy of thus employing them
are too overwhelmingly evident to allow
of serious cavil from any quarter. The
Government distinctly recognizes the wis
dom of this course. Il hesitates only to
present such an inducements as will at
once psralyxe the rebels, by depriving
them of their laboring population and
converting the latter into toilers-noe
ighters-for the country's rescue. Only
declaration of freedom to the slaves of
rebels can work this result. For time,
the negroes in large numbers will natur-
ally presume that such is to be the policy
of the Government, and under this pre-
sumption will flock to our aid. Shonld
they at last find that they still are to be
held as slaves, and disposed Of they know
not how, they viii no longer venture to
incur the resentment Of Southerners by
acting against them On the contrary,
they would them be likely to resent and
resist the approach of the Union forces.
Their present disposition is practically
evinced in their reception of our troops at
Port Royal and Beaufort 1t is clearly of
primary Importance, constituting as they
do the mass of the population In extern
sive districts, that the slaves should be
used not against but in behalf of the ns-
tionsl cause. -
To appreciate the justice and propriety
of presenting to them the incentive of
freedom, it is necessary to dwell upon the
Importance and effect of their aid. HUI
msnity requires that the war be ended as
soon as possible. To protract it by scru-
pulous Difference for the rights of enemies
would be an unprecedented course, but
to prolong il by protecting and main
tanning the forfeited claims of rebels
would be monstrous. II we use not the
slaves we must for a time be at pains and
expense to repe1 them. Their services
are of immense value against Us. They
enable the enemy to meet Us with all his
fighting men, while we arc diminished
by the necessities. of labor, and the Incl
dent sickness and death. This advsn-
tage to an invaded party which has even
superior facilities for meeting the sssail-
ant with superior torce, must almost
certainly ensure its ultimate triumph.
The difficulties of conquest have scarcely
as yet been met by our forces, and may
prove nearly insupersble unless decisive
and wise course be adopted.
