Resolued,-That we commend to the cordial
aud earnest support Of our fellow citizens of oil
parties, the candidates nominated for State Of
GERS at the late Democratic Convention Of
Ohio. -t... .. .,.... ,a-{ -,.f -
d. That in voting for these candidates, they not
only support men for Offices competent to the
trust proposed and emineptly So but they also
contribute their influences TO preserve the Con.
stitution Of their country, and thus vindicate the
wisdom and foresight of Washington and his as
sociates. They show themselves in favor OF sur
pressing the rebellion without abandonment Of
that Instrument, and with such abandonment the
loss of liberty for ourselves and oil Coustitu-
tional Government on this continent indefn-
iteiy. o. f-u lot 9d !as--Nh1 uaf
ResolUed, While willing aud deslrous of aid
ing any administration of the Government in
any way ID our power to put down insurrections,
mobs or rebelioos; and while we will submit to
even unconstitutional laws until set aside by
competent, uuquesloned, judcinl authority, we
look " 18th distress and alarm on the steady per-
cevering efforts OF many 10 high Office and infu-
epee. the Writings Laues. Summers, Wilson's
and Brougbs, and Others of like wild impracti.
cable visionary thories, to conduct the present
war in way which would be not only dis.
grace to any civilized pagan community, but
against the dictates oe that rational and pure
religion we profess to revere.
Under the plausible pretext of abolisbing
slavery, they propose to conduct the war under
plan and policy which would make it Que in
its results of conquest and subjugatou--of the
utter destruction Of the entire population Of
portion Of our country-all it's people OF all
ages, sexs races, and colors. While urging
their preposterous theories, they try TO conceal
from the people that, If even O successful pre-
secution of such q war must result to our peo-
pie Of the faithful States, necessarily in loss OF
more lives and distress, the keeping d ipdefn.
ately Of large standing army, the accumula.
tion of national debt past computation. and
the utter ruin of all free government on this
continent. They propose to deprive not only
traitors OF rights secured to them by the consti-
tuti0u--a right on the restoration Of peace TO
even trial and punishment according to law
but oil forced into the rebellion by the despo'.
ism Of Jefferson Davis and bis accomplices
must share the same fate ; nay, the entire popu-
lation of the SO called Confederate States. must
submit, not to the Constitution and lawful Gov
erDmeut under it, with it's penalties as well as
rights, but Internationally TO the caprices and
vindictive passions Of mere personal enemies.
Resoiped,-That oil acquainted with human
rature must know that under the severe and un-
paralleled sufferings and losses of the Southern
people during this sad war, they must sicken
with its horrors and yearu for peace, and it is
only surprising that, coerced they Still ore by
the boyonet of their Own government on the
one side, aud threatened by our Administrat ton
on the other with confseaion emancipation
from coutrol of their millions of igaorant ne-
groes, with threats OF political Abolitonsts that
their anxious desire for submission to the co.,
sttution and peace should be breuking out SO
strongly constantly, and 10 so many places 10
the Rebel States, and thus showing that little
more is required of our Administration to secure
submission to7the Constitution, aud return to
the Union and peace, With all its blessings but
o return on The part of our own rulers to tha
concliatory policy they first adopted, aRsl under
which we were all united, and but for its ch ange
the rebellion would long since have been crush.
! ed out ''
Resolred,-That after careful enquiry into the
! character of Mr.. ValIandigbnn, we are satisfied
| that bis commanding talents, uninpeachable 10.
tegrity, moral courage. and unquestionei pa
trioism must be conceded BY all candid and un-
prejndiced men OF oil parties--that his very
prominence 10 these particulars has made him
the mark Of prejudiced unprincipled leaders OF
the Republican party, aud thus led to his unaw.
ful arrest, unlawful trial, and lamented exile.
On these points, we have the testimony ofintel.
ligeDt, honest men Of both parties, who have
personal acquaintance with him. Even the
testimony offered by bis political opponents on
his pretended trial, proves that he is SQUAD
able statesman and a alaw-abidiug Union man.
| ResoiUcd,-That we are opposed TO all Exc
cutiye Legislation by proclamation or military
orders in the State OF Ohio. We want ouI
| Governor to obey laws himself and see that al
do SO, aud being fully satisfied that Mr.. Vallan
digham will, when in Office, see that all laws
both State and National are executed, and viii
assume no powers which don't belong to biz
Office and, as 10 addition to these cons dera
tions, we shall, in voting for him, express ou
solemn protest against arbitrary arrests anC
military trials in Ohio. We cant hesitate--ou
duty is plain ..ss....... . ..
Resoiped.-That by voting for Mr. Vsllau
digham. We vote for aE early peace and resior
atioE of the Union as it was on the basis of th,
Constitution, aud we believe that If the leader
Of the Republican party SO willed IT, such
peace is soon attainable, with all its blessings
