RESOLUTIONS.
Hon Is. f. Wade, Chairman Of the Committee
on Resolutions, made the following report.
Rcsolred, That the calamities Of the present re-
belliOn have been brought upon this nation by the
infamous doctrines of Modification and Secession
promulgated by Calhoun and denounced by Cen
eral Jackson in 1892, and reiterated by the Convcn
tiOn held in the city Of Columbus on the th inst
We denounce them incompatible with the unity,
integrity, power and glory Of the American Re
public.
Resoircd, That the war must go on with the ut
most vig0r till the authority of the National Gov
ernmsnt is re-established, and the old flag floats
again securely and triumphantly over every State
and Territory of the Union.
Resoired, That in the present cxigcnccs Of the
Republic, we lay aside personal preferences and
preiudices, and henceturh till the war is ended
will draw no party line but the great line between
those who sustain the Government and those who
oppose it-between those who rejoice in the tri-
umph Of our arms and those who rejoice in the
triumph of the enemy.
Rcsolrcd, That immortal honor and gratitude are
due to our brave and patriotic soldiers in the field
and everlasting shame and disgrace to any citizen
or party who wthholds it; that, sympathizing
with the army in its hardships, and proud of its
gallantry the lovers Of the Union will stand by it.
and will remember, aid and support those who are
disabled, and the families of those who fall fighting
for their country.
Resoiccd, That confding in the honesty, patriot
ism and good sense of the President, we pledge to
him our support his earnest efforts to put down
the rebellion.
Resoiued That the present Governor, David Tod,
is an honest, able public servant, aud that his Off
cial conduct deserves and receives the approba-
tionof all loyal people.
After few remarks by Mr.. Wade, who was
most enthusiastically applauded, the resolutions
were adopted amid great enthusiasm.
Before putting the vote on the resolutions, which
had been read by DR.. Robinson, of Cleveland, Sen
ator Wade stepped forward, in response to a gem
cra call, and addressed the Convention briefly in
reference to the ticket and the great question Of
the day.
SENATOR wADE'S SPEECH.
He regarded this Convention ms the most mpor-
tant that ever assembled in the State. Unhappily
the American people were divided on questions so
radical that it seemed impossible that they could
ever be reconciled. 1t was the difference between
freedom and despotism. We are contending for
the old Constitution, which guaranteed every right,
and under which we had prOspered continually.
No man could say that the Government had ever
| rested heavily upon him, and least of all could
those who have rebelled, for the party with which
they worked has nearly always been in the major
| ity, and had things their own way. At the time
they rebelcd they had twO-thirds of the Congress,
| the President and Cabinet The history Of the
world furnished no precedent where a people re
belled against their own legislation.
Mr.. Wade then sketched history of secession
in Congress, and showed how utterly oauscless
was their conduct. Nothing but predutcrmina-
tOn to set up for themselves could account for it.
Abiding to Valandigham's opposition to the war,
he made the probable suppostion that he might be
made member of the Confederate Congress; and
if So it would be interesting to learn whether he
would refuse TO vote supplies for the rebel army,
as he did for ours. Ii he did, it would cost him
his neck, and justly, too. Next he showed very
Gorcibly how the Peace party were aiding the South,
and prOtracting the war. The Convention held
here last week, in its spirit and results, was most
direct encouragement for the rebels, its influence
would be to strengthen their determination to hold
out till the divided North would be compelled to
Weld: but he had been greatly encouraged by his
recent visits in the army of the Potomac The
soldiers were all in gnnl health, AMI enlv waited
another opportunity to strike fatal blow with
which they seemed likely to be favored pretty soon.
AS to the policy of the Administration, he be
Hcvcd it would be acquiesccd i'll entirely very soon.
The progress in that direction had been very rapid
for some time. The people were not slow in agree
ing to allow negroes to some of the risk of bat
! tie, and their freedom would follow naturally
enough, although the work seemed to be slow
When the country emerged from the contest it
would be into ii purer atmosphere than heretofore.
We ought not to expect peace until slavery, the
cause OF all our troubles was ramplcd in the dust
We could not look to a iust God and ask him to
prosper our cause until were ready to demand
freedom for every man on Gods earth This re-
| suit must come and as n consequence our great
nation must rise to higher civilization than we
have vet dreamed Of. All great reforms have been
born in tribulatiun and strfe and in this case as
in others, the end will be richly worth the price
! paid.
| Mr. Wade concluded by thanking the Democrats
who had come up in such large numbers to unite
with other Union men in placing the State Govern
ment in loyal and trusty nauds. The nominations
ously with that bolsered up last week--whch was
headed by the cringing, cowardly apologist OF
peace, while oar ticket is headed By honest John
Brough, who is for the Union at all hazards and all
the time.
Some one moved three cheers for Governor Den
nlson, which were given enthusiastically, the dele
gates rising and waving their hats
| Immediately after the result of the ballot for
Governor was announced, word was carried to the
mass meeting at the east side of the Capitol, of the
success of Mr.. Brough and the shouts that then
went up made the welkin ring. Governor Tod
soon after made his appearance, and was carried
over the heads of the people TO the stand, and pro-
oeedcd to speak in perfect candor of tho action of
the Convention.
GOVERNOR TOp's SPEECH.
After reviewing what he had done for the good
