Ohio State Union Convention.

The Ohio State Union Convention met at
Columbus on June 22d. Gen. w. B.
Woods was elected President, and r. Bevis
Secretary of the Convention. Gen. j. d.
Cox was nominated Governor by acclama-
ton; A. G. NJ Burney, of Warren, Lieu
tenant Governor; Hon. S. S. Warner, of
Lorain, Treasurer; j. Brinkerhof, Attor-
ney General; James Moore, Board of Pub
lie Works, and Lieutenant Rodney, Clerk
of the Supreme Court. The Convention
then passed resolutions lamenting the cruel
death of Abraham Lincoln, endorsing the
policy of Andrew johnson administration,
that four years of sanguinary war demon
strated that slavery and its institutions were
irrevocably opposed to freedom and free in
stitutions. That while we are anxious for
an early reconstruction of fraternal relations
with the insurgent States, we demand that
it shall be upon such terms as will give as
surance of peace and security to the loyal
people, and prosperity to the Federal Union.

Union State Convention.

By circular received from the Chairman
of the Union State Committee we learn that,
in compliance with the earnest appeals of
many prominent Union men, citizens OF diff
ferent counties in the State, urging that the
meeting of the Union State Convention cal
led for the 10th of July, ensuing, be defer
red until further notice, the announcement
is herewith made that that body will not as
semble on the day 10th of july set apart
for its meeting in the city of Harrisburg.
Due notice will be given of the meeting of
the Convention hereafter.
The postponement of the day of the Con-
vention should not, however, interfere with
the selecting of Senatorial and Representa-
tive delegates to said body. Let them be
appointed at once, and then when the day
for the meeting is defnately fixed, the dele
gates will be ready to respond promptly to
the call

HARD ON SNEAKS.

No small number of able bodied men have
left the limits of the United States, OF have
lodged about from town to town and state
to state to avoid the dreaded consumption
Many of these left family and property be-
hind them with some indefnate idea that
they would return and enjoy both as soon as
''the storm blew over In every case these
men were sneaks and towards, who were
willing to live under the forfeiture of that
respect from others which they could not
feel for themselves. A man who is not will
ing to dare for the country he lives In and
the government that protects him, is un-
worry any of the rights of citizenship and
ought to be tabooed in all decent society
This was the opinion of Congress. On the
Sd of March, 1865, Congress passed the fol-
lowing:
''All persons who have deserted the mill
tary or naval service of the United States
who shall not return to said service or re-
port themselves TO a Provost Marshal with
in sixty days after the proclamation herein
after mentioned, shall be deemed and taken
to have voluntarily relinquished and forfeit
ed their rights to become citizens and such
deserters shall be forever incapable of hold
ing any Office of trust or profit under the
United States, or Of exercising any rights of
citizens thereof; and all persons who shall
desert the military or naval service, and all
persons who being duly enrolled, shall de-
part the jurisdiction of the district in which
they are enrolled, or go beyond the limits of
the United States, with the intent to avoid
any draft into the military or naval service
duly ordered, shall be liable to the penalties
of this section And the President is here
by authorized and required forthwith, on
the passage of this act, to issue his procla-
nation setting forth the provisions of this
section, in which proclamation the President
is requested to notify all deserters returning
within sixty days, as aforesaid, that they
shall be pardoned on condition of returning
TO their regiments and companies, or to such
other organizations as they may be assigned
to, until they shall have served for a period
OF time equal to their original term of en-
listment
The Presidents proclamation in accord
ance with the above was issued March 10th,
and the sixty days grace expired on the 10th
of May. Now that the war is over, hun
dreds of these poltroons will come sneaking
back as they sneaked away. Let them be
marked and not allowed to exercise any
rights of citizenship. They deserve therep-
rotation of every patriot The country got
on without them when their help might
have been Of some service; let uo show
them that the country does not want them
now.

cross the States of Georgia and Florida to
the coast, where they secured small boat
and put to sea, arriving at Cardeuas on the

most entirely without eating or sleeping. .
At Cardenas they were serenaded and receiv-

Republican in Form"

1t is very recent discovery, says the Pitts
burgh Commercial, that the State constitu-
tion that does not admit white and black
men on an equality to the polls, is not in ac-
cordance with the requirements of the Con-
stitution of the United States, which says
State constitutions shall be Republican in
Form. In strictness this point may be
well taken, but carried out as rule it would
cut deep and both ways. We believe that,
with hardly any exception, every State in
the Union, North and South, would be driv-
en- out of Congress, if equality of suffrage
were to be made the test. In rot single
State, but Massachusetts,, we believe, is the
negro admitted to the polls on an equality
with the whites. Connecticut has just pro-
vided for submitting the question to the peo-
pie, with the view of establishing the prin-
ciple If Mr. SUMNER insists that South
ern States shall be kept out of Congress be-
cause they disfranchise portion of their
citizens for their color, what is he going to
do with New York, Pennsylvania, and near
ly every other State? Should the South
combine to demand that the reading and
writing test in Massachusetts, should be a
bolished, what would he say? Manifestly
just this: This is matter that belongs to
us solely-a question over which every State,
for ITSELF has exclusive control; so please
mind your own business, while we take care
of our own, in our own way"
Pursue the investigation, and, however,
clear the right of equality may be made to
appear, it nevertheless will come round to
this: the whole question has been left by
the Constitution to the States. Congress
has recognized this principle by never inter
fering with it. The States have acted and
do now act upon it; some by excluding the
negro altogether, as in Pennsylvania, South
Carolina, and some of the other States. We
could wish there was some power to make
these State establish a more just system of
franchise and do right, by letting all men to
the polls according to some test which would
establish their intelligence
A constitution may, indeed. not be Re
publican in Form Should it be attempt
ed in the reorganization of the Southern
States, to enact cruelties against the eman-
cipated blacks, and should other outrages be
committed or attempted, and the ''Repub-
lcan' idea nulhfed, we can send Senators
and Representatives back till the form is
better understood and the idea more correct
ly carried out.
