CEN I'm A. LcGANs DIVISION IN THE WAR.
WHhEEAs Rebellion" conceived in sin
aud brought fvrlh in iniquity." monStrous in
its inception and colossal in its proportions,
has sought aud is still etking to overflow
the Constitution ard laws of the wi>cst and
best Government upon the earth and plunged
The natl, into war with all its horrors, aud
WHEREAS, AI@idst the hercuIean cffurls
that Lave been AID are being made ly that
Government TO suppress the rebellion and pre-
serve our beloved country Intact, and y hile
bluod is being poured out like waller, patriot
ic men have jpiutd hand in hand, sacrificed
ting party and seen TO become ONE in just
and holy cause, others have remained at home
and while protected from invasion by The army
non opposed to The rebellion, have promulga-
ted TREASON, and in every possible manner
sought to create dissension and produce de-
moralizatiun in the Union army, diScord among
people who should stand firm ard undivided
and opposition to the Government in its laud
able efforts TO crush a rebellion unparalleled
in the history OF Garth, therefore,
Rev iced, That the war should be prose
cuttd until re5e lion is extinguished, the su-
premacy OF law restored, and .aIlegiance re-
newed, in every quarter OF the land.
Resoired, That we, citizens, and an integ-
ral part Of Ohio's loo, 900 soldiers in the field,
rcquest-nay, demand, as our right-that all
true and loyal men frown down, crush ont aud
utterly annihilate, all those political, peddling,
party demagogues, treason sympathizers, OF
fee seekers aud udas Iscariots, who are, and
have been, seeking TO b2rter our country and
its free Institutions for less than thirty pieces
of less than worthless Confederate scrip;
and, for SO doing, we will hold them TO strict
and stern accountability.
RsSolVed, That men whos in these times,
are too small to forget party for country-too
mean to know the sacred fire of PATRIOTISM
and who, in their country's peril, can fnd no
higher work than 10 snarl and bark at the
Administration; who ure laboring to eBcour-
aye the foe and discourage us, in the hope of
advancing their selfish ends, are objects of con-
tempt; and that, with all the ferceness and
intensity which chill tents shetcriess bivouacs,
L.,
and disease-thined ranks, and other hardships.
suheIings, and deprivations, incident to a SOL
dier's life, we most utterly loathe, abhor and
aespise, and most heartily and cordially COM
mend TO the Sneering contempt of all honest
men, these ttings who claiming TO be men, re-
main at their homes made safe and comforta
ble by our suffering; and, with the malgnity
Of the arch-fend himself, seek, by voice and
influence, to deliver us and and our free in
stitutions into the hands oftheir less eowardy,
less despicable, coadjutors, the aeeufsed min
ions Of an accursed rebellion.
ResolUed, That since evil minded persons
have written and sent papers to US, to excite
discomfort and disieyalty among rs, and urged
US TO violate both duty aud honor, we wars
all such in public, as we have already warned
many Oy icttCiS ludt NC uOiu buSL1 aS GASLHlers
be they stranger or kindred.
Resclbef, fEat We have watched and are
still watching with deep and intense interest.
the course persEed- by few members OF the
Ohio Legislature : and that their treasonale
speeches and actions, calculated to spread
throughout our beloved State an influence
detrimental to the cause for which we are
struggling, meets with our utmost eondemna-
ton; and that we look upon all men North
who are not sustaining us by word or action,
as our open and avowed enemies, and tenfod
more contemplate than those in the South in
arms against US.
Resolved, That to those noble PATRIOTS
fathers, sons, and brothers, mothers, wives and
daugbters-who have constantly cheered and
upheld US, sympathizing with US in all our
| tolls and trials, .ministering to us in all our
wants and sickness, and at all times honorably
Hpheld our good name and repute- sen.l
most cordial greetings and hereby wish to as
