cd the Convention to order and on be-

Below our readers will find an abstrac,
of the proceedings, as our small space
will not admit the publication of them in
full. We furnish the most important
part.
After some very happy and patriotic re-
marks by Colonel LEWIS d. CAMPBELL
Elk Governor Dennison urose and an
nounccd that he had two communications
that he had been instructed to present
to the convention. They were from the
Ohio regiments in the Army of the
Cumberland, and read us follows:
TRIuSE, Tenn, June 0.
GENTLEMEN You have been selected
by the representatives OF very large
number OF the soldiers of Ohio, now
serving with the army of the Cumberland
to attend the Union Convention calle d To
assemble ut Columbus on the 18th inst,
for the nomination of Governor and 9TH
er State officers.
We sincerely hope that neither the
convention por the people of Ohio will
deem this action of their citizen soldiery
as formed upon any mere desire to par
ticiputc, even, in the most remote degree
in party os political striies Ut home, but
solely from Il most earnest wish that CIV
il, State and political action may be so
conducted as TO contribute to the great
Object which all patriots, whether citi-
zcns or soldiers, must have ut heart, the
maintenance of the government and the
restoration OF the Union. Parties as such
we have long since ceased to sympathize
and to day the army of the Cumberland
has but this platform Of political princi-
pies -" An unlimited use OF all the en-
erges and all the resources of the Gov
ernment for the prosecution OF the wal
until the rebellion is subjugated and the
1 Union restored"
Though divided by all the party distine.
tions of their time,we are to day a "Band
of Brothers" standing firmly aud united
ly upon this broad platform. We ask OF
euch other no reason why we are so uni
J., ted, but we gratefully accept the fact and
let that suffice. We do not discuss
whether the Shareholder or the abolition
ist is the prin AIRY cause of the rebellion
It is enough for us that the rebellion nov
exists, and that We ore bound by the her
itage Of the past aud the hope OF the fu
ture to put il down. We did not reins,
To put il down. We did not refuse t.
sustain the Government before the Ad
minis,rption inaugurated the policy o
emancipation. We will not desert
I now that il has. The efficiency an
continued harmony of your army depend
in great measure upon the State Gov
ernment at home. IL has pleased tha
Government TO give us, while yet in tn
field, a voice in the polls. While emi
lnent civilians, at home, will doobtless b'
proposed TO the Convention as candidate
tor the GubernOtorial chair, from whom
a choiee might be made that would com
/ mand our cordial support, still II sue
choice cannot be made with harmony,w
beg to suggest the propriety OF a selec
= ton being made from among the man
r eminent public men Ohio now has in th
field. Such candidate, while bein
, thoroughly acquainted with every wan
! OF the soldier would, at the same time
. possess equal ability to administer III
: domestic affairs ol the State For such
candidate We can safely pledge the und
yided support of ohlo's one hUndre
> thousand soldiers.
Once more we call upon our friends q
g home to stand firmly by the Goyernmer
a and It's army. Mistakes in policy, il an
such occur, are but the straws aud toal
