w: Cook, Chairman of the democratic
delegation from Ohio, has also COM
municated to me the following resolu-
9on, this morning adopted by, that

ResotUed, unanimously by the Ohio
democratic delegation, That we recog-
nlze the right of Hon. Clement L. Val
lundigham, duly elected delegate
from the third Congressional district of
ONO, TO hold seat in that Convention;
that we should regard his exclusion
from such seat as an unjust infringe
ment OF the rights of the democracy of
sald district, and are ready to stand by
Nun IN the assertion of his rights and
the rights of his constituents; that we.
endorse most cordially the purity and
patriotism of his motives and fitness in
every way to a seat in said Convention:
Yet, for the sake of harmony and good
Keeling in the same, and in the great
ends for which it is called, we consent
to his Withdrawal from a seat in the
Convention, If in his judgement his
duty to his constituents shall Justify
such Withdrawals
Yielding to my own deliberate con-
victions of duty and right, to the al
most unanimous opinion and desire
OF friends, whose wisdom and sound
and purity of motives I may not
question, to the end that there
shall be no protest from any QUAR-
ter, for any controverted question or
disturbing element in, the Convention to
mar its harmony or hinder in any way
the results to the cause OF the Constitu-
ton, the Union and public liberty,
which shall follow from its delibera-
ttons and action, hereby withdraw
from the Ohio democratic delegation,
ana decline taking my seat In the Con-
r on .,t.,,., a.. ,.r. 49, AZ
sanctity and magnitude of the inte-
rests involved in the present political
canvass in the United States are too
Immense not to demand a sacrifice of
every personal consideration, in a
struggle upon the issue of which de-
ponds, as / most solemnly believe, the
present peace, and ultimately the ex-
1stence of free republican government
on this continent.
Trusting that your deliberations may
be harmonious, your proceedings full
OF wisdom and patriotism, and its re-
suits crowned with a glorious and
saving triumph in the end, to the great
cause in which every sympathy Of my
heart is enlisted, I1
am, Very Respectfully.
Your 0bed't, Serv't.,TFr
