The following is the paper balloon aot--
the resolutions which were presented by
Mr.. O. B. Flood,
Resolved, That the Democracy of Ohio,
aow a. ever, hold to the Union Of these
ates, and that at all times, are ready to do
bat le for the Union, the Constitution and
The Laws, whether they be assailed by the
pro-slaveFy secessionists of the South or
their kindred fanatics the Abolition fanatics
Of the Northern states.
Resolved, That we have high confidence
in the patriotism and ability Of Hugh j..
Jewett, the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, who sent forth his sons 10 do battle
for the Union, and that we pledge to him,
and 10 the Democratic State Ticket our ar
dent support. . r..r t-
Resolved, That in the language of Mr..
Jewett, accepting the nomination, the De-
mocraoy would
ain no way Weakenthe arm ofthe Government
In no way impair the efficiency Of our army; but,
| on the contrary, IS matter Of economy as veil
as of humanity, / would impart vigor and eneF
gy to both, and with every peace offering there
| should be the alternatives of war or submission.
| Under no circumstances would submit TO dis
solution of the Union or consider terms Of sepa-
| ration" -
And that, in the words of the acceptance of
the nomination for Lieutenant Governor by
the Hon. John G. Mar3hall,
| "-although I opposed the election of the
present party to power, yet l would favor no
policy calculated % cripple the power Of the
| Government in putting down the terrible rebel.
lion which now hangs like dark cloud over our
| beloved country. Butat the same time believe
| that the interests of the State and country will
| be subserved by q change of administration, and
| that the Democratic party II successful, will
| greatly oonduce to q speedy and final putting
/ down Of that spirit Of FebslliOu and violence
which is threatening the liberty Of the citizen
| both North and South"
ResolUed, That, in patriotic contrast to
the above, We are utterly and determinedly
i opposed 10 the doctrine enunciated blythe
Hon. Benjamin Stanton, the candidate Of
the self-styled Union party for lieutenant
Governor, in the speech delivered BY him in
Congress which adjourned March Last, that,
if the Secessionists, who are now waging
| war to overthrow our Government
| Shall MAINTAIN THKIR POSITION, AND II
PUBLIC OPINION IN THE sRcEDISG STATES SHALL
| SUSTAIN THR AUTHORITIES THERE FOR YEAR OR
TWO TO coME, SO as to show that nothing but
war ofsubjugatlon and conquest can bring them
/ back, /, for one, am disposed 10 recognize that
/ independence
ResolUed, That the coctrine of Mr.. Stan
ton, looking to q dismemb berment of the Re
| public, We den0Unce as at war with our
| dearest interests, and utterly subversive Of
free government.
ReSolUed, That we hold the assertion of
the Hon. David Tod, as set forth in his pro-
nunciamento to the people of Ohio, accept
ing the nomination Of the Republican lead
ers, for Governor of Ohio, that the citizens
Of the United States should again place
themselves under the protection of the
British monarchy, as libel upon the intel
ligence of the American people, and q di-
rect and uncalled for insult TO the memory
Of the men who toilsd and suffered in the
days Of the Revolution to achieve the blood
bought Independence which We have since
enjoyed. ~. +. ~
hssolesd, That to the brave men now bat
Ting for the Union our thanks are due, and
for them our prayer is, that they be saved
alike from the bullets ofthe enemy and the
stealing Of the cormorants appointea by the
State and Federal authorities these plum
derers being more TO be feared than. the
whole secession army, for with stout hearts
and strong arms they can do battle against
the enemy, while against the official plum
derers there is no protection. q
On molten of VIM. Abbey, Mr.. Floods
resolutions were adopted. 4#
Much applause greeted this act, and Hon.
H. B. Payne responded to loud calls and
spoke as follows: $3.50

don't know whether am called upon
| to signify my acceptance of the nomination
which you have seen fit to besroW upon me
or not, but l will say that heartily in
| dorse the resolutions which We have lust
heai d read. l would also say one word with
reference 70 the State resolutions which
have been SO perverted and so misunder-
stood by both our friends and our enemies.
There has never been time when Demo

party than today. | was pres ent at thst
/ Convention and was on the Committee of
Resolutions, and think understand them,
aud undertake 10 say that there is moth
ing WhaiSosYer in them that GOES not con-
form 10 the principles of the Democratic
par y. We are told that there is a frighful
civil war going on, and those men who a
| year ago called Us Union Savers, now call
| US secessio1ists. A year ago we declared
that the Republican party, walking on the
narrow basis ofthe Chicago platform, would
dissolve the Union; and time has proven
the justness of our conclusions. The eiec
ton of Mr.. lincoln has been fol owed by
the dissolution of the Union. Every DEM
ocrat knew that those doctrines could not
be carried out. Now these Republicans
come and confess that they can't 90 on
alone they come and lure aIOay the Dem
ocrats and confess their weakness. HIM

me when came back from Columbus and
said "Let US 60 in and have new deal ell
around" 1t is such seemingly fair propo-
sitions which have seduced our Democratic
friend from their allegiance. Yes, Sir, the
Republicans feel their sinfulness, and they

They are ashamed of their party.

can never be restored until the helm is
