Action Of the Republican state
Central Committee

The Republican State Central Committee met
at Columbus on the 25th, and after iuii consul
tatiou and deliberation took the following sensi-
BILE action. We are sure the People of Ohio,
without respect TO former party associations, will
approve and cordially respond to it:
WHxREAs, It is the duty of all citizens in time
of national peril, to lay aside all differences
ssof rolitical opinion and unite in defence Of
their government; therefore.
Resolved, That it is not now expedient to call
a Convention of the Republican party for the
nomination Of officers TO be chosen at the coming
election.
Z Rcsoked, That the Democratic Central Com
mittee be requested to unite with this Commit
tee in call for joint delegate convention for
the purpose of nominating suitable State
Ticket, and that the call be addressed 10 all who
are in favor of unconditional preservation Of
the Union of the States; of the maintenance Of
the integrity of the National Govern ment; and
Of the vigorous prosecution Of the war now car
RED on for that purpose. And that the propo-
sition to said Committee be made by the Ex-
ecutiye Committee.
Resolved, That in the event of the refusal of the
Democratic Central Committee to accept the
proposition for union by the 9tb Of August, the
Executive Committee is directed to issue to the
People of Ohioa call for a Convention, to be
chosen without reference to party, upon the SIM
and the suppression ofthe rebellion against it.
Resolucd, That the Secretary be requested to
furnish copies of the foregoing preamble and res
olutions to the papers of this city, and that the
Press of all parties in the State be Invited to
publish the same.
The Cleveland Plaindealcr thus endorses
the action ofthe Republican State Central Com
mittee. The Republican press of the State
pretty generally fall in with the proposition to
let the people, instead of the politicians, have
the selection of our State officers the coming
fall A number ofthe Loco press refuse to come
into the movement, but it matters little whether
they favor it or not, or whether the the State
Central Committee accept the terms preferred
them not, for in case of their refusal they are
bound to go up the the spout further than ever
party went before. Hear what the Plaindealer
says:
Thus they dismiss their political organization
and fall back into the ranks OF the people. and
leave the othe. political organization TO follow
suit or fight the people. As the Democratic
Convention will meet on the 7th of August, we
confidently expect that the proposition win be
accepted aud the great work ofthe Nation 8 sal

local wrangling and chickering's. The o,,us of
giving TO the war united front in Ohio, is now
on the Democracy, and let US meet the PROPOSE

of the vote in the list of "scatterring."
We know that old stagers, old political hacks,
of all parties. will struggle hard against coming

The great ship of the Union is in sinking
condition, and we decidedly prefer to pump to-
gether rather than to perish together.
