! ,OHIO UNION CONVENTION.
From the Ohio State Journal, Aug. % !

lfrom the OHIO State Journul, Aug "
This Convention assembled at Naughton's S
Hall at II o'clock, A. NJ, yesterday, There
were delegates from every county in the
State The whole number present was 432
They were appointed to seats in the order
of the number Of the Districts, beginning
the LIST, at the desk. The President OF the
Central Committee, Mr.. Parsons, being alb
sent, |. J, Allen, Esq, called the Conven'
ton to order.
On motion of b. F. Martin, Hon. Benz
Stanton was unanimously elected temporary
Chairman of the Convention. Gov. Stan
ton returned thanks for the honor conferred,
and spoke of the extraordinary character Of
the times, and the great Importance of the
meeting and the deliberations of this Con.
ven ion. He denounced petty adherence to
personal interests in the deliberations and
votngs Of this body. True patriots will all
sink such interests into oblivion.
What matter is it what may have been
the former party principles Of some Of US
we come here to-day forgetting party aud
adhering to constitutional principles \
fearful war is upon u.s. What il is for, will
be left to the constitutional authorities to
decide. We may differ as to the exact
mode and form of the prosecution of this
war but l6 US be one for the restoration Of
the Union. We cannot hope to get all to
think alike, but let us select to represent
our principles, loyal and true men. He
then invoked high spirit of patriotism to
inspire the men of the Convention.
The address was most conciiatory, pat
riotic and impressive one, and was received
with many shouts of applause. At the
close of the address the following Secrcta-
res were elected: Jas. q. Devin of Knox,
VIM. Il. Bascom ofGreene, A. j. Williams
Of Geaugs, DR.. Rcamy of Muskinguln, and
VIM. Skunk of Morrow.
The Secretary then called for the District
