on war necessity" pleas, or emancipation oF
confscation acts, either BY civil or military au.
thority, We conceive to be unconstitutional and
subversive of the rights of citizens and States,
and calculated to protrAct this war to the great
detrlment and interests Of the white people, for
whose benehtthis Government was created, aud
BY whom IL has been sustained for more than
eighty years.
ResoIped, That the eforte now being made
to overrun Ohio with "contrabands," released
by pretended "war necessities," deserves our
condemnation and shall receive our continued
opposition, and We call upon our white fellow
cl;izens who are opposed to the immigration Of
negroes Into Ohio and Hooking county, to rally
around the standard Of the Democracy, whose
war cry is--"Ths Constitution az it "a, The Union
az u Uas!"
ResoLued, That the brave men now In arms In
support Of the Constitution, the Union, and the
glorious old banner Of the "Stars and Stripes,v
deserve the appreciation of every patriot, and
their oountrymen should afford them every aid
TO mitigate the hardAhips Of camp.llfe and the
dangers Of war. Fz
ResoIped, That this Administration instead of
attending TO neg 'oes should have looked after
the comfort OF the brave men now ln arms de-
Tending the Governments, and instead of spend.
Ing the peoples money In buying rations for
lazy negroes, Congress should have provided for
the dependent families Of the soldiers of the
Union, and because Congress and the Admins
tration have neglected their duty TO the country
and our gallant soldiers they deserve the exc.
Grafton of every patriot .-.
| Resoiusd, That the emancipation of the ne
gToes OF the District Of Columbia, to say the
least OF 10, at this time and under existing cir
cumstances, was an act of impolitlc Legislation,
calculated 10 prove Injurious to the cause Of the
Union and the restoration of peace, and IN act
OF gross Injustice to the patriotic freemen Of the
North who are now In the army, ss well as all
others who aid 10 any way or measure to cup.
port the Government, because the white tax
payers Of the country who contribute of their
means to aid the Government, are disguised
20 see their money appropriated 10 the pur-
chase and support OF negroes, who are to be
set at liberty to compete with and degrade
labor Of white men 10 the Northern free States
ResOlued, That every political act of this Ad-

cy of the Chicago platform and looking to the
emancipation of the negroes Of the South, re-
oeives our condemnation, while every patriotic,
Constitutional effort to maintain the Govern
ment and preserve the Constitution receives our
| cordial appreciation.
| RtsoIped. That we treat with utter contempt
the charge that Democrats are disunionists
and sympsthize with the rebels In their efforts
TO subVert the laws and overthrow the Govern
ment, and We hereby hurl back the slanderoue
charge, and brand our slanderers with being
the only secessoniets and aiders of rebellion
in the North, who sympathize with the rebels
in their efforts 70 overthrow the Government
and look upon Abolitionsts North and Seces'
sionists South as equally opposed to the Gov
ernmeut, and laooring for the same ends.
