The Record of C. l.. VaIIandig-

Man Can Consistently Vote for
ValIandigham.
The Tuscarawas Advocate calls at
tentiou to the following, published by US
last fall
"LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE"
We notice that at recent Democrat.
ic jubilee in Highland County, they
passed resolutions in favor of Hon. @.
L. Vallandigham for the Democratic
nominee for Governor in 1863. We
would have no objections to this, in case
the extremists on the other side would
nominate rampant Abolitionist like
John A. Bingham. But, as it took the
conservative influence to carry the elec-
tions for the Democracy in 1862, so will
it take the same influence to enable US
to carry the election in 1868. There.
fore all efforts at this time to bring out
radical men Of our party, tend to drive
away from US those conservatives who
assisted us in putting down Abolition
ism. We say, let well enough alone
Ohio Democrat, Nov. I, 1862.
That is all right, and we thank the
editor for reproducing it, as it enables
us to set Mr.. Vallandigham right on the
record, and to place Brough in the same
boat with Bingham, as unfit for any con-
seryative Union men to vote for.
The Democratic State Convention
made q platform (and which is fully
printed on our fourth page,) and from
which we copy the following:
10. That the soldiers composing our armies
merit the warmest thanks Of the nGtiun. Their
country called and nobly did they respond
Living, they shall know nations gratitude /:
wounded natioa's care; and dying they shall
live in our memories, and monuments shall be
raised to teach postcrity to honor the patriots
and heroes who offered their lives at their
country's altar Their widows and orphans
shall be adopted by the nation, to bc watched
over and cared for as objects truly worthy a
nations guardianship.
H. That Ohio will adhere to the Constitu.
ton and the Union as the best, it may be the
last hope OF popular freedom, AMI for all
wrongs which may have been committed or
evils which may exist, will seek redress, under
the Constitution and within the Union, by the
peaceful but powerful agency of the suffrag's
Of. free people.
12 That we hail with pleasure and hope the
manifestations Of conservative sentiment among
the people of the Northern States in their
elections, and regard the same as the earnest
Of o good purpose upon their part to cooper.
ate with all other loyal citizens in giving Sc
ouriety to the rights of every section and
maintaining the Union and the Constitution rs
they were ordained by the founders of the Re-
public. ...
l3. That whenever II becomes practicable to
obtain convention of oil or Of three fourths
of the States, such body should be convened
for the purpose of proposing such amendments
to the Federal Constitution as experience has
proved to be necessary to maintain that instru-
ment in the spirit and meaning intended by its
founders, and to provide against future convul-
sions and wars.
ID. That we will earnestly support every
constitutional measure tending to preserve the
Union Of the States. No men have greater
interest in its preservation than we have--none
desire II more; there are none who will make
greater sacrifices or endure more than we will
to accomplish that end We are, as we ever
have been, the devoted friends Of the Constitu-
ton and the Union, aud we have no sympathy
with the enemies Of either.
This is the platform Of every Demo.
crat in Ohio, and Mr. Vallaudighau
and all our candidates stand upon it,
In bis acceptance of the nomination h'
endorses every word and letter. thus
IcoDgratulate you upon your nOmi
nations. They whom you have placed
upon the ticket with me, are gentlemen
