The Democrats and other Union men
OF Ohio who will meet in Convention at
Columbus on the ever glorious Fourth,
should make plain, distinct and unc-
quivocal avowal Of their principles. Let
the platform then and there adopted,
declare in favor Of the Union as it was,
the Constitution as il is and the euforce-
mcnt Of the laws, in favor of vigorously
carrying on the war for the preservation
of the Union as avowcd in the Critten-
den resolution, in favor Of banishing for
ever from the Halls of Congress the sla-
very agitation. We are opposed to the
schemes Of the Abolitionists, opposed to
buying slaves with public money, oppos-
ed to the conliscation heresics of the Re.
publican leaders and particularly to those
of Fremont, Phelps and Hunter, opros,
ed to making Ohio a depot for manumit-
ted negroes to come in and crush out our
mechanics and lab boring men, and let us
come out boldly in opposition to these
measures Let us, in short, have a plat
form which cannot be misconstrued, and
upon which every true and devoted lover
Of his country can stand and do battle for
the Union, the Constitution and flag of
our country, and lanaticism will be crush.
ed in Ohio.

tional colors and hoisted the Secession flag in
its place.
Fort Macon, which thus fell into the hands
of the Rebels. was constructed with trayersei
for az guns; but up to the time Of its surren
der, only four, and these on the channel side,
were in position. There were II others ut the
post, but they were lying on skids on the wharf.
The four guns in position were mounted merely
for practice, as has been the custom ct all our
Notifications.
Within three weeks from the date of the
siege, the Rebels had mounted the II guns al
the post, and soon after received number o.
navy 32-pound carronade5 from Norfolk, by
way of the canal. Two l0-nch colunbiads
and fonr s.inch were also received from Rich
mond to complete the armament. One OF these
l0-inch columbads was subsequently sent to
Hatteras.
In the three magazines, before the surrender
of the fort in April, 1861, there wa, the ordi'
nary small supply Of powder provided BY The
army regulations in time of peace; but much

damaged. The Rebels soon had the magazines
filed. Much Of the powder, however, was of
inferior quality Immediately before the sur-
render TO Gen. Burnside, it was estimated that
tho garrison had about 800 cords Of wood, aud
provisions for six months.
From all these details it would appear that
il was not deemed Of great national importance
before tho outbreak OF the war TO have Fort
Macon placed in any real position of defense;
that a most inexcusable negligence character
lied tao Government arrangements for its pro-
lection after the rebellion broke out; and that
| its surrender 10 Gen. Burnside il q victory
mainly in the sense we have indicated, that il
opens up the ocean highway into the heart Of
State which has only been indiierently dis
posed toward the Secession olgarohy from the
first. The work achieved by the National
forces must not bo undcryaued, while, at the
same time, we present the facts, which Illus
trate at once the strength Of the fortress and
the most inadequate means employed for Its
protection on the outbreak Of the rebellion.

TO Rebels Is not. No man can point 10 syl.
liable of the Constitution which makes it the
duty of the Government, or any department OF

inalienable right to struggle for its own exist
ence; aud if it shall see fit to call the Black
Uniouists TO combat tho White traitors OF
the South, deeming that step necessary to the
vindication and support Of its rightful authority,
lie must be madman or traitor who would
deny its right to do so. The Republic VIII
