unanimously adopted by the Democratic State
Convention which was held In the city Of Co.
lumbus, on the Fourth day Of July, 1862:
TO THE PROFILE OF 0Hioi
In the exercise Of the right guaranteed to us BY our
Federal ard State Constitutions we have this day assem-
bed together 10 peaceabe manner to consult for the
common good, and rejecting oil mere partisan ieeng'
to give that uteance TO our earnest and sincere con-
vctons that the state OF the country seems 10 US 70 ue
mAnd.
The history Of the Democracy Of Ohio is record Of
upceasng and UNMARRIED devotion TO the Union OF the
States; ever fuhlng the injunction Of the Father OF
our country to cherish cordial, habitual and i'm.
movable attachment 10 II; accusomng themselves TO
think and speak Of 1t as Of the palladium Of their pollu
cal safety and prosperity, watching for Its preservation
with Jealous anxiety; oountenanong whatever might
suggest even suspicion that IL could, In any event be
aoandoned; and Indignantly frowning upon the hIst
dawnng Of every attempt 10 ALLEVIATE any portion Of our
country from the rest or to sneebe the sacred ties
which link toeether the various parts"
Iuc,ed solely by this love for the Union and for the
country SO signally blessed and believing with Andrew
10 the affections Of the people; In the iecuy gives 70
e liberty, character and property in every quarter Of
the country, and In tho fraerna astaend en wnicn ne
citizens OF the several States bear another as mem
bers Of one political family, mutually contributing to pro
mote the happiness Of each other" the Democracy Of
Ohio have never adopted sectional platform nor ever
ast Q sectional vote.
Actualed BY this enlarged and elevated spirit Of pat
riosm, and esteeming it no dshopor to perpetuste BY
compromise and concession Union that was formed and
had hitherto been preserved by those MEANS and trust
ing that the power Of patriotism might overcome the mad
ness Of party the DEM cracy Of Ohio, In conjunction
with the other conservative men Of the country, most
earnestly sought to avert our present calamiues, AID TO
preserve the Union, by peaceable means.
But when the fell spirit Of AboliliQpm at the North
and 6ecessonism at the South disfegarding the wishes
OF the majority Of the people or both sections rendered
all Efforts for peaceable adjustment Intellectual; when
the integrity OF the Union was assaed by force and the
country plunged into civil war; When the President de-
cared his intention to maintain the supremacy Of the
Constitution BY arms and to employ them for that pur
pose alone; the Democracy OF Ohio Union men In war
as well as In peace rallied en- masse to the support OF the
Government. From that day to TINS they have given 70
rebellion an effective support. In the held they have
constituted, and yet constitute, moety, not more, Of
he military quota Of the stste and there Is scarcely
tle ground that does not bear witnets 10 their heroic
devotion to the Union. In the National and State
councils they have granted without hesitation all the
men and money demanded by the Government; while
as private citizens and voters at the ballot box they have
given 10 It moral support more powerful BY far than
was ever before given by party 10 an administration
elevated to power by political opponents. And now,
this sore hour Of our countys trial. Its motto Is, as IL
ever has BEEN "To maintain the Constitution and pre-
serve the Unjonn party whose whole history 10 thus
sgnay illustrative Of patriotism, party that has thus

proclamation should be resr'ct.uly but distinctly and
earnestly made,
little than year ago. Congress- with an almost
entire unanmity, solemnly declared that "oongress,

will recolect only its DUTY to the whole country; that
