lature has adopted the following resolution, Of
fered by Mr.. Flag, Union Democrat, as q re-
Spouse to some petitions for an armistice and
peace, sent in by Copperheads:
"Resolued By tie General Assembly of the State
of Ohio, That We will have no dissolution of the
Union; that we will have no armistice; that we
can f;ght as long as rebels and traitors can;
that tie war shall 60 on until law is restored;
and We will never despair of the Republic"
This resolution was adopted by decided ma.
iority in both branches. 1t is explicit. 1t sets
forth principle and purpose that no man can
mistake. 1t has the sterling ring. The country
sees at once there is nothing spurious in that
loyalty. There are no qualifications, no dis
chalmers. no protests. 1t is whole-souled. It
bespeaks a State that is in dead earnest
State that is steadfass in its convictions, unfal-
tering in its devotion, indomitable in its spirit
That resolution in this crisis of the struggle, is
grand thing for Ohio. It will hereafter DO the
proudest Of all her titles to honor. 1t ought to

When the Northwest asks permission to navi.
