THE Union CONVENTION
TUE TICKET.

The Convention, on Saturday, was one
Of the largest Of the kind ever assembled
In Seneca County. Though the Ootice
was very brief, the people turned ont in
force from every township in tho county.
Itwns cmphOtcaly a Union c onyention
of the sovereign people, who prefer the
salvation Of the country 10 tho success Of
party and who were determined 70 rebuke
those demogogues who would attempt to
diyiSe the sentiment Of tho North and
thus ail the rebels by keeping up party
strife. II was convention Of those
who, with Douglas, Holt, Dickinson,
Johnson aud Tod, believe that the prcs-
ent is not the time to discuss party isues,
but that We should all, us loyul citizens,
unite upon a common platform against u
common enemy.
Democrats and Republicans, alike for
getting past dead issues, came up togcth-
or and signifed that their loyo for tie
Union ia paramount to every other con
sidcration and that it will be time enough
to talk Of party, when we have conquer
ed an honorable peace aud saved the Uu-
ion.
The enthusiasm, harmony and good
feeling of the Convention affords the
gratifying assurance that the cause ofthe
Union will be victorious, There was no
cau0usiug, no wire-Pulling or any thingoi
the sort, Tut the spontaneous action Of
the people, free and unrcstrainod.
The ticket, composed as tits of Demo-
Gratis and RcpublicOns-now all Union
men togothcr--is perhaps without excep-
ton, tho best ever presented to the peo-
pie Of Seneca county. Asto the nomi-

Reeolrcd, BY the Democratic State
Central Committee Of the State of Ohio,
That we have observed with astonisl-
ment the efforts Of the Executive of the
| United States, through his agents within
the free States, to abridge the constitu-
tionul right of free speech and free
press, 90 essential in free government
TO tho maintenance ofliberty, by attempt
ing the suppression Of DEMOCRATIC
newspapers, either directly or by illegally
prohibiting their transmission through

dignation of the assaults by mobs upon
DEMOCRATIC citizens aud DEMO.
! CRATIC presses. under the false and
impudent prctense that they are "seces.
siJnists and traitors" or support the cause
Of secession and treason, and that the
Dem ocracy of Ohio, true TO the Unior
aud to the principles Of the Constitution
will protect end defend their right to free
speech, free press, free assemblages o
the people, and free ballot, By all the
legal aud constitutional means in thcii
power, against either the Illegal and un.
constitutional orders and acts Of the Elk
ocutive OF violence by mob.
Thus, It will be seen that the Dcmoc.
rucy of Ohio, by this Committee, arc pla.
ced on the record us endorsing such trea.
sonablc sheets as the New York New,

Stark County Democrat and Missouri

that these vile secession sheets arc, by
