Resolved, That the Democracy Of Coshocton,
are in favor of sustaining the Government Of
the United States, and pledge their support to
all constitutional measures to put down this re-
bellion.
Rcsolved, That we have unabated confidence
| in the principles and organization OF the Demo.
cratic party, aa best calculated to promote and
preserve the Union, peace and prosperity of this
great country; and are opposed to any coalition
with the Republicans as party, Of this State; as
we are convinced they are not, as party, friend
| " to constitutional Union Of these States;
and that there has been corruption 10 their man
agement of the public works, benevolent insti-
tutions, and in all the departments ofthe State
government; as well as wicked and nefareous
| frauds in the contracts for army supplies; all
| of which their leaders now seek TO cover up by
fusion of all parties on the hypocritical pre-.
tense Of preserving the Union. 'e
Resolped, That whatever differences Of opin-
l ion may exist among the people in regard to the
justness and propriety of the Presidents war
proclamation, without further legislative ef-
forts at pacification, all must cheerfully accord
| the need of praise to our brave volunteers, for
the alscrity with which they rushed to the battle
field in defense of our national capital and tC
protect our own State frontiers; and that the gal
lantry displayed by them in their heroic endur'
ance of the tolls and hardships Oft the campaign
and the patience with which they have endured
| the neglect Of the State Government to efficient
ly and promptly provide for their wants and com.
forts, entities them to the thanks Of the people
of this country, whom they have honored by
their conduct while in the service Of their ooun.
try. III. s-.
Mr.. Isaac STAFFoRD and ISAAC STAFFoRD, jr.,
spoke against the adoption of the second resolu-
tion in its present shape, and Mr.. DIMMIcK and
Judge SIMMONS advocated-its adoption. After
which they were all adopted with an enthusias-
tic response--only two votes against them.
Thus has opened the ball in old Coshocton;
our party were never better united-more en-
thusiastic or determined, and unless paralyzed
by adverse action at the State Convention, this
county will give 800 Democratic majority In
October. 20 rE; 81 u ~ g-.ilsr .-s}s 81
