consists of three distinct resolutions, read.
ing Ms follows:
|. Resolved, That the Democracy Of Ohio will
adhere, in the present and future as in the past,
IA iln
ganlEatiQn of the Democratic party, aud It's ancient
ma well settled principles, as onunciated by
Thomas Jefferson, the great apostle Of American
Democracy and as acknowledged and ac ,epted
by the party from the formation of the Government,
and expressly Of equal taxation and representation
of all states subject to taxation.
a. Pssv''v@, That tie NV RrcNt question of the
day Is the immediate and unconditional restoration
Of al NE Saos to the exercise Of their rights within
tho Federal Union under the Constitution; and
that we will cordially and actively support Andrew
johnson lappausel as President Of the United
states IN all necessary and proper means TO carry
out his policy as directed to that end aud cspc-
cally IN securing immediate representation in The
Senate and House Of Representatives TO the eleven
states from which 1t is now unconsttutionaly
aud arbitrarily withheld, unless ON the degrading
condition of infcriority in the Union and of negro
political and civil equality enforced by the Federal
Governments.
3. Resolped That for tho purpose above set
forth, we will cordially corporate in public meet
ings, conventions, and at the polls, with all men,
without reference TO past party POSITIONS who
honestly, and by their professions, support the
President in his policy OF restoration as now de-
clarod.
1t will be seen that in the first resolution
they declare their intention to adhere TO the
organization of the Democratic party, but
in the third, they resolve not to do'so, but
to cordially cooperate with all men with.
out reference to past party Positions
" You pays your money, and you takes
your choice
In the first they iudorse tho "great
apostle of American Democracy" who dc.
cldred that "all meu were created free aud
equal and call for equal taxation and rep.
resontaton, while in the second they want
taxation without representation, as evinced
in their Endorsement OF President JoHNsoN's !
policy, The second resolution closes with
ialsohood in entire keeping with the
double-faccd platform. The representation
of the eleven revolted States is not with
held unless on the degrading condition -
of oegro, political and civil equality.
With the hardened bol,lness of bad men
they proclaim for the immediate admission
Of rebels to place and voice in tho Gov
ernmeui which they sought in vain to
destroy, and to that end delayed the land
in blood.
The Cincinnati GtseHe says the platform
is like a camil it is backed like weasel
ii is very like whale in short it is like Il
Democratic PLATFORM and thus terscly
closes its comments:
After Gve years war Of rebellion, during which
the Democratic party of Ohio did al in It's power
modified by its courage, to weaken the Government
mud give triumph TO the rebellion il comes into State
Convention with no principle to otl1r TO the country
II has betrayed aud covered with bloodshed and
loaded with debt and taxes, save resolution to
restore its conlederaes immediately and uncondi-
Honally to political power, aud another against
making them bear their share of tie taxes. And
to this eud il offers to take all To its embrace who
will join it. 1t has earaed nothing of patriotism,
and forgotten nothing of its destmctiveness. 1t
has no allegiance for anything but the Democratic
party, thing covered with the inIamy OF treason
II presents the Same features as during the war;
and we Ses no inducement to anybody 10 embrace
II who was not then confederate,
