The Democracy and other Union men ofOhio
in Convention assembled, adopt and declare the
following resolutions as the basis upon which
thew appeal to all patriotic Union and liberty
loving citizens to unite and rally in the support
OF thesticket this day presented: -,af
1. Resolced. That the civil war by which our
country is at present distracted, is the natural
offspring of misguided sectionalsm, engendered
by fanatical sgitators North as we'll as South;
and that the Democratic party having equally
opposed the extremists Of both sections, and
having at all times zealously contended TOR the
administration of the General Government
within its constitutional limits, that party is in
M vsy responsible for calamities that haYe re-
snlted from a departure from its doctrines, and
dsrecard Of its warning and advice.
b d Rps7yed, That in this National emergen-
cy, the Democracy and other Union men OF
Ohio, banishing all feeling 81 passion or resent
ment, " III recollect only their duty 70 lhe g"noie
country; that this war should not be waged IN
any spirit OF oppression, nor for any purpose oil
conquest or subiugation nor purpose o. over
throwing or interfering with the rights OF eSta y
lished institutions Of the States, but TO defend
and maintain the supremacy OF the Constitu-
ton, and to preserve fhe. Union with all the
dignity, equality, and rights ofthe several States
unmpared, and that as soon as these objects
are accomplished, the war ought to cease.
8. That while we deem IL the duty OF every
"itizcn to support and sustain the Government
constitutionally administered, we recommend
that the Legislatures Of the several States adopt
the proper measures for calling National Con-
vention for the purpose ofsettling our present
difficulties, and restoring and preserving the
Union. .s a-r-3 s-t r....t f-.... ..,
4. That the ton extravaganza, incom-
petencv and iavoritiSm hcwnin the adminIstra'
ton Of the War Departments Of the State and
Federal Governments, deserve and receive our
unqualified condemnation, and ought to be I'm

s Thatthe volunteer soldiers who, at the
call OF their country, promptly went forth to do
battle in defense Of its Constitution and Laws,
and who, in many cases, have been compelled
to fight under inexperienced officers, are enti-
lied to our hearty thanks for the gallant man
ner in which they have discharged their duties.
! 6. That the privilege OF the writ of habeas
corpus is one Of the great bulwarks of freedom,
and that no citizen can be legally deprived OF
the benefit thereof except by Congress, and then
only in case of rebellion or invasion, when the
public safety may require it, and that the late
attempt o. the President of the United States
to suspend the privilege Of the same IS unwar'
ranted by the Federal Constitution.
The resolutions were adopted unanimously
amid the loud and dcafening shouts the whole
