been nominated for Governor of Ohio, and
no power save Omnipo ence can prevent him

tempted to carry out every measure OF the
abolition creed that is known to be most OBJ
noxious TO every true patriot and dangerous

Resolved, That while pro fessing to be the
exclusive patriots and defenders OF the coun
try-denounciDg as traitors all American
citizens who oppose their schemes--they
have recently, by the aid of the railroad
Presidents who were competing for the nom
ination for Governor, brought together the
largest crowd OF AbOlitionists ever assembled
at Columbus, and there, with their backs to
| the rebel Zoe that was invading their State,
with their faces and eyes turned toward the
fat offices in the Capitol building, with the
wailing cry for help from President Lincoln,
and the loud coli of Governor Tod for thirty
thousand men to defend their homes ringing
in their ears they deliberately wrangled over
party nominations for office, and adjourned
home without proposing even resolution OF
response to the call Of the Governor, or a
single man Of them Offering his services as q
soldier.
Resolved, That the failure of the Abolition
leaders to say one word to encourage volun.
teers when the State was threatened with
invasion, is in marked contrast to the cour Sc
o! Clement L. Vallandgham, who, on the
4th Of September, 1862, at Hamilton, offered
for adoption the following resolution, which
he supported by an able speech "Resolved,
That it is the highest duty Of the citizen,
whenever his country or State is invaded, to
rush to its rescue by arms, il he is capable OF
military service, and by money, or otherw Use
everyway, if he is not; and that the Democ

laying aside all party feelings for that pur
pose, are ready with life and fortune to do
their part in discharging his patriotic duty"

fair representative Of his motley associates
Resolved, That John Brough, who left the
Democratic party in 1892, because ii opposed
Mr.. Calhoun's Modification dogma and who
opposed and denounced Andrew Jackson
then, came back when Modification was

Office; who, commencing his career as a Nul.
lifier aud ending it as an Abolitionist, is fl

Resofued, That the action Of the Abolition
Convention in rejecting David Tod (who un
deniably had large majority Of the dele
gates elected in his favor) Tor no other reason
as they themselves allege than that they
feared he could not command enough votel
Of the people to elect him Governor, is
plain evidence Of conscious weakness, and o
their despair Of being able to defeat tie peo

Resolved That the railroad corporation
which carry free OF expense crowd to over

to the Abolition Convention, and to secur

have deep pecuniary interest IN perpetua

doubled, and with Governor in their peeu

the country while their dividends and thei
power are multiplied.
Resolved, That as part Of the American
Democracy, and speaking their known senti
