The reading of the resolutions was next
in order. These are given below. Each
one of them as read was applauded hearth
Iy, and, the last received with cheers for
David Tod,
The president thanked the audience for
this expression of their sentiments, when
three cheers were given for Ex Governor
DennisOn. Three mighty cheers then went
up for Senator Wade, who had reported the
resolutions. The Senator came forward
amid the most enthusiastic and tumultuous
applause. He thanked the people of the
State for many favors He had regarded
this Convention as one Of the most import
ant that ever convened in the country, and
he did not believe that in the history of
The world there had been greater occa-
sion for patriotic men to serve their coun-
try than on this occasion. He spoke of the
divisions which characterized the present
time, as the division between Freedom and
DespOtism. Has any man any right to
say that the Government has been
oppressive. He had asked the same
questions of those who are now in rebel
lion, and they had been dumb, and made
no reply. Men of the North had justified
the rebels Of the South for taking up arms
for their "rights." 1t was a strange his
torical fact that the party that complains
of this action, was the party that had al
ways, with scarcely an exception, been in
possession Of the Government. If there
was any oppressive legislation, they
had had the power to put it to right. He
was not so opposed to revolution, but
that he granted to people trsmpled upon
by tyrant, the right and duty to rise in
revolution. But our Government had been
benefcent and lenient No man dare say
that they could feel the power of the Gov
ernment, except for the very liberty which
it secured to him. And yet we have par
ty here in Ohio, which justifes TIE rebels
and had nominated a man for Governor
whose every act and word had been in har-
mony with those who were in arms against
the Government to-day. He had served
the rebels much more efficiently in Con-
gress thanif he had been in the rebel army
or Congress. 1 hope we have got rid of
him by sending him home. Applause.
hope he will 60 into the rebel Congress
and see if he will vote supplies for JEFF.
Davis army as he has done for US, for
if he does this, it will cost him his worth
less neck. [Applause
Mr.. Wade then spoke of the rebellion,
its progress and design and, as member
of the Conference with the SOutherners,
denied that the rebels would have accepted
even the base proposition contained in the
much Yanited Crittenden Compromise or
Resolutions. He wanted peace, but a peace
won as that was when peace reigned in
Heaven after the devils had rebelled. Ap-
plause.7 He held the Northern peace men
responsible for more than half the blood
| that had been shed in this war. There
was not leader in the South who advoca-
ted the principles Of free government
They wanted monarchy. In regard to
! the pro ,lamation he said that three
months would not roll over the land before
all candid men would thank God that it
had been issued. As to the " "slowness
of the war" he said that no power on
earth had accomplished more in the same
time. Dark as the scenemay now appear,
the end is near, and we can almost see our
way out. We cannot obey Gods laws un-
til it comes with freedom to every individ-
ual on the earth. [Applause. The great
end to be obtained is worthy Of the great
price we pay.
He had never seen Convention more
harmonious. The nominations were all
most fit to be made, and we shall come up
more than victorious in October next He
thanked the Democracy that they had sep
arated the sheep from the goats (aPplause
Vallsndighsm, cringing for peace on the
one side, and Honest John BrJugh on tht
other. Immense applause.)
The resolutions were then adopted viii
q tremendous aye.
