.f71 COMMITTEE, a @

Wednesday, the 2jth inst, in the Su-
preme Court Room, in the city of Col
umbus; and is described by a corresp n
dent of the Cincinnati Gazette, as mee>
ting of'"peculiar interest," A full quo
rum was present, all parts of the state
being represented The present state OF
the country was taken into consideration
and after mature deliberatior, the fol-
lowing series of resolutions were unani-
m ously adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t is the duty of all citizens
in times Of national perls- to lay aside all
differences Of political opinions, and u
mite for the defense Of their Government.
Therefore,
Resolved, That it is not expedient to
call convention Of the republican party
for the nomination of officers to be chosen
at the coming State election.
ReSoloed, That the Democratic Cen
trail Committee be requested to unite with
this Committee in call for Joint Del
egate Convention, for the purpose Of
nominating suitable State ticket, and
that the call be addressed to all who are
in favor of the unconditional preservation
of the Union of the States; OF the main
.enance of the integrity OF the National
Government, and of the vigorous and
continued prosecution of the war now
carried on for that purpose; and that the
proposition TO said Committee be made
BY the Executive Committee.
Resolved, That in the event of the re-
iusal of the Democratic Central Com
mittee to accept this proposition for a un-

Committe be directed to issue to the peo-
pie Of Ohio a call for convention of del
egates to nominating convention to be
chosen, without reference to party, upon
the simple basis of the maintenance Of
The Government and the suppression Of
tNe rebellion against it..
These resolutions we think breathe the
right spirit, and is tender OF the olive
branch, to the Democratic party, and if
accepted, (Which we hope it will be)
there will b. no bitter partizan fight in the
ste in the ecoming campaign. The dem
.ocracy claiming to be for the Union, and
constitutional liberty, have now an op-
portunity offered them of showing
their faith by their works s'-and have it
ia their power to pull down 'the wall Of
partition which has so long divided the
political parties of the day, in the state ol
Ohio, and by single act upon their part,
uniting the two into one grand national
party, whose aim and object will be the
preservation of the Federal Union, and tht
restoration of peace to our beloved coun
