gence that hundreds are dcscrting the
Southern and Vallandigham party.

Vile runs up the name of John Brough

RESOLUTIONS.
/. Resoyrcd That as Democrats VT
deplore thelcivil strife now distractins
and desoating our country; we de
plore the mad folly that led citizens 0
this republic to raise their hands in re
bellion against the government. Bu
as it is the duty of the Government
to preserve the public tranquility, tc
suppress rebellion, and to guarante,
to each State a republican form of gov
crnmcnt, there is manifestly but ON,
honorable course for the Government
to pursue, and that is to crush out tn
rebellion speedily and entirely. t
2. As Democrats we recognize tn
great question of the hour to be in tn
existence and preservation of our gov
ernmcnt, and with it the Constitution
framed by its founders: and we ar
ready to make any sacrifice to pre-
serve the Union intact, and to cnforc
the Constitution inviolatc over ever,
inch ofou territory; and that We ar
g opposed to any peace, truce or cessa
ton of hostilities with rebels until the,
t lay down their arms and yield obedi
, ence to the Constitution and laws the,

3, AS Democrats, we are opposed
to any and all extraneous issues bein,
, tackled on to the war now being waget
for the preservation of the Union; ye
if, in the contest the South should fnt
, slavery crushed, its death will follow
, as a result Of the course its friend
have seen proper to pursue. B.
4. As Democrats, we will stand b,
the Constitution and the Union-ant
while We will not raise captious ques
tions to embarrass the legitimate pros
ecution of the war, we will, at tn
same time, demand that freedom q
speech, freedom of the press, an un
trammeled ballot-box, and constitu
, tional liberty shall be preserved.
$ 5. That the gratitude of the Ma
! ton is due to the defenders of OH
flag, and while they fight the battle
Of the Union in the field, we, at home
/, will give them hesupport and encour
| agement due the soldiers ofthe repub
