The No-Party Party Platform.

When the people OF the State carefully
con over the proceedings and resolutions
of the No party party State Convention,
they will be struck with surprise at what
was done.
The getters up of the affair expressed
strong desire that there shoult be no po-
litical division in Ohio this fall, and
stoutly asserted that they were only NOV.
ell to como forward with their No-party
bantling because the 7th Of August Con
vention was so unpatriOtic as not to keep
silent in relation to the misinanagement
in the War Department of Ohio and the
Union, and so unwiae as to affirm the
right OF the citizens to the writ OF haJeaS
corpus and tlial by jurJ.
For what was said by the 7th Of August
Convention on these points and in iela
,iun to u National Convention Of all the
States. our patriotic No-party inen, many
of whom are up to their arm pits in fat
Jobs and contracts, become very indignant
and felt that they must vindicatc the TN
ion and the Government, from the dislot
atty Of the Democratic party in Ohio
Now whi 10 fault is found with the Dem
ocratic Union platform Of August 7th
1861, it is remarkable that the Conven
tion Of September 9th. 1861 DID NOT DAni
TO TAKE ISSUE WITH SINGLE THING THAI
WAS DONE OR SAID ON TIE 1Tu AUGUsT!-
why was this? Were the committee an,
this No-party Convention afraid to con
demn or to defend the action Of the Wa
Department at Washington-or tho con
duct of the war management in Ohio !
And why so? Do the members of tina
body not know that this management
was right or wrong honest or corrupt
And why not say so?
The Democratic Union Convention oI
August 7th expressed its hostility to all
favoritism and corruption, and is pledged
to reform. Not SO the No party party.
The object of many of its managers is to
keep off investigation, and by false pre-
lenses and fraud t. get men in the Legis'
lature who will cover up rather than ex
pose the wrong that is admitted on al
hands to have been committed.
The taxpayers will look carefully int,
the matter before they give their votes tC
party which has not shown the courag,
and honesty to take one side or the othe
on matter Of so much Importance to thu
people.
The Democratic Union ticket and th'
party are in favor of the most rigid inves
tigation, and if they carry the Legislature
they will institute it, and that without
fear, favor or affection.
The men who have jobs and contracts
in the army, or who ARE looking out 70
such things, will hold that the man o
party who goes in for investigation is n
better than "seccssionst" but the tax
payers will take different look at it an
view i: in another light entirely States
man.
