Special Correspondence Of the Cincinnati Gazette.
COLUMBUS, March 8.
As the recent action ofthe Union mem
bers Of the General Assembly in caucus up
on the Presidential question has been mis-
and misrepresented, the publica-
tion Of the following paper, with names at
tacbed, 10 due TO them, and cannot fail to be
favorably received by the people of Ohio
So overwhelming is this expression that it
may be said with propriety, that there is but
one opinion among the Legislative repre-
sentstives Of the loysl people Of the State %
to who should be the nominee Of the Union |
party for President Of the United States |
And gentlemen occupying such q position |
are not going to risk their own political in |
terests for any one man, unless backed by |
by their constituents. have yet to find
the man who does not say that his constit-
uents are for the 70 nomination Of Mr.. Lin
coin, although there are some who refuse to
yield their personal preferences.
The statement below is so arranged as to
show the district which each Senator re pre-
sents. the county in which he resides and
the county represented BY each member
Of the House. There are 70 Union mem;
bers in the House Of Representatives, and Of

paper; three are absent, and six have posi-
lively refused to sign it. In the Senate there
are 80 Union members, and Of this number
% have signed the paper, making, with the
81 Representatives, 90 members who ask
for the rs-bomination of Mr. Lincoln. 1t
will be readily seen that the number Of those
who may prefer any other man is 30 ridicu-
lously small a. scarcely to deserve mention.
The record reads thus: 96 out l28 of all
parties for Abraham Lincoln. ! venture to
say that no other President, since the ad-
mission Of Ohio as State, has ever received
such an indorsement as this
