Tbs sssss oonvsntlcn 81 War Dsnosrats
at Columbus, on Tuesday, was largely st-
tended By some Of the most respected and
prominent members Of the Democratic par.
ty. Colonel Bsrnabss Burns, on taking
the Chair, after being appointed Presi-
dent stated that a large number Of the
Democrats Of Chic. finding it impossible
for them to adopt as a part Of their pOiiti-
Osl creed, the doctrines and principles as
enuneiated by the Convention Of the Ilth
Of June, had sent men there to represent
them in body that would adopt the meae-
ures upon which the Democratic party has
heretofore stood, and upon which it must
siWays stand If it would continue its ex-
iEtenoe. BE said it was the duty Of DEM
ocrats to assist the Government in its ef-
fort to put down the rebellion, and they
could not take a position Of opposition to
those who had stood up manfully in the
field for their country.
A Committee of one from each District
was appointed to draft resolutions and an
address, J. L. Gleason being the member
from this district
After speech by Colonel MoGroarty,
the Convention took recess. At the az
ternoon session an address to the Dsmoc-
raey Of Ohio was read, which speaks in
the following unequivocal words regard
ing voting for Vallandigham:
"You, as Wellas we, are called upon BY
the " imperative" voice Of Convention,
to vote for c. L. Vsllandigham for Cover
nor Of the State or Ohio. We admit the
full force and effect Of this call /; It comes
to us clothed with the power AMI prestige
of party ties and party feslty; 1t comes to
as laden with the associations Of former
years, but all these cannot be made to
svsil feathers weight, when our country,
our kindred, and the future Of this repub-
lie are st stake. Believing, as we do, that
the sction of the Convention in nominating
Mr.. VallsndighSm was q great mistake,
and one which, if approved and sanction
ed by the people at the polls, will serious
ly endanger the perpetuity Of cur Govern
ment; we have felt and now feel it our
duty, 10 withhold from him our support,
and thus clear our skirts Of eli completely
with the agency by which It is brought
about
HAnd in 50 doing, we stand by the doc-
'trines advocated by Douglas, by every
narnon-sffo roorntNo- nfNo, f-or, n63o
aud Oy ths entire Democracy Of the North,
except Mr.. Vailandigham and q small fac
ton, prior to Mr.. VsllsndighAm's nomina-
tion for Governor, and in no wise affiliate
with or approve Of the doctrine Of Aboli-
;ionism or Fsnaticism Of any kind.
The address then gives quotations from
Vallsndigham, arguing the right and the
fsct Of secession, as the reason WHY War
Democrats cannot support him; and closes
by an urgent appeal to the Democracy to
save Ohio from the fatal effects that would
follow Vallsndigham's election.
The resolutions declare that they are for
8 vigorous prosecution Of the Wsr, and for
to the rebels the alternative of
Rar Or SubmissiOH. Upon the question Of
foreign interference the resolution reads
IL. Bssolued, That upon the interference
Of any foreign power sympsthiEing with
this rebellion, and seeking to overthrow
the Institutions Of democratic liberty, we
appeal to our Government TO meet such
with wsr, and we pledge our
selves to eustsinsit in the struggle, and
that we regard the military occupation Of
Mexico by European power and the es-
of monarchy there sc q stand
ing menace to the United States.
DR.. ouin, of Hamilton, moved the fol-
lowing which was carried:
ResoIUsd, That the Democracy Of the State
who approve of the address and resolutions
passed by this Convention be requested to
themselves into county or other
local associations, for the purpose Of more
sfFectuslly using their influence to perpet- |
uate the principles announced in the reso-
lutiOns adopted.
