Upon motion, the following sentiment and
resolutions were unanimously adopted:
The Democracy have never been anything
else than Union party. 1t has stood by the
Union in sunshine and in storm; around 1t
il hasieyer stood, opposing the principles Of
Abolitionism and factions that would destroy
it; and with frmness breasting the storm OF
prejudice and passion that beat against the
Danaf;t,,fio,, frr,, hnkA NarkA Il
wants no flag to float above It bot the old
oi our whole Country and the Constitution
as it is.
l. Resofved, That in the exercise Of rights
guaranteed to us by our Federal and State
Constitutions, we have this day met together,
in peaceable manner, to elect our candi.
dates to our different conventions, TO consult
for the common good; and, rejecting oil mere
partisan feeling, to give that uttsrance to our
earnest convictions that the state OF the coun-
try seems to demand.
2. Resolved, That the history Of the Dem
ocratic party Of Ohio IS record of unceasins
and uavaried devotion to ths Union OF tho
States-ever fulfilling the ipjunctions OF the
Father Of his Country, to cherish q cordial,
habitual and immoyabls attachment 70 the
Union.
8. Resolved, That by the fell spirit OF Ab-
olitltion at the North and Secessionism at
the South, disregardins tho wishes Of the
majority of the people OF both sections, all
efforts for peacesble adjustment were made
Intellectual. When the integrity OF the Un-
ion was assailed by force, and the country
plunged into civil war; when tie President
declared his intention to maintain the suprem-
acy OF the Constitution by arms, and to EN-.
ploy them for that purpose alonc, the De
mocracy OF 0hio-Union men in war IS we'll
as in pesce-rallisd en- msasSe to tho support
Of the Government. From that boar to this,
they have given to every Constitutional meas
ure for the suppression of the rebellion an
effective support. In the field they have
constituted and yet constitute majority, if
not more, of the military quota Of the State;
and there is scarcely battle, ground that
does not bear witness OF their heroic dsvo-
tion to the Union. In the Nstionsl and
State councils they haTe granted without
hesitation all the men and money demanded
by the Government, while, as private citi
zens and voters at the ballot box, they have
given to 1t moral support more powerful
by far than was ever before given by . party
to an Administration elevated to power by
political opponents; and now, in this sore
hour of our country's trial, its motto iG, as il
ever has been, to maintain the Constitution
and preserve the Union. A party whose
whole history IS thus signslly illustrative Of
patriotism, party that has thus sacrificed
oil mere partisan prejudices and feelings for
the sake of the Republic, needs no defense at
our hands against the malignant assaults oi
its enemies, and is entitled to be heard with
thoughtful attention when it proclaims ts
sentiments.
4. ReSol0ea, That we are, as we ever have
been, the devoted friends OF Vie Constitution
and the Union, and we have no sympathy
with either the Abolitionists or Secsssionisis
both being enemies to our Government.
S. Resolued, That, while We would mete
out merited aud legal punishment to the plot
ters OF and leaders in the rebellion We are op-
posed to the contemplated sweeping and
indiscriminate acts Of coufscation and emaa-
cpation by Congressional legislation or Pres.
idential proclamation. knowing that such acts
would be unconstitutional.
6. Resolved, That we are strongly op.
posed to the immigration Of negroes into the
State Of Ohio by the permission Of the Cen
eral Assembly or any part Of the same.
z. Resolued, That we arc opposed TO be-
ing taxed to purchase the freedom OF negro
slaves. With all due respect for the opinions
OF others, we think that such . measure
would be unconstitutional, impolitic and un-
just.
8. Resolved, That the proceedings Of this
meeting be sigEed by the Chairman and Sec
retary, and be published in the Csdiz Sentinel.
