our NoAr1NEEs IND PLATFORM.

OUR NOAEINEES AND PLATFORM.
Our very limited space to-day per-
mits US to make but brief comments
upon the noble work concluded on
Wednesday by the Union State Conven-
tion. Suffice it TO say that the nOmi-
nees and the platform are such as claim
the hearty and enthusiastic support of
every patriotic citizen alive TO the pO-
IiticaI exigencies of the times and the
great interests of the country
The gallant and able leader of the
ticket, General Rutherford B. Hayes,
of Cincinnati. is brilliant statesman
whose political record shows an une-
quiyocaI and consistent support of
Right and Justice, and an unwavering
adherence to the great leading prin-
ciples of our party. He is also brave
soldier who has distinguished him
self for gallantryo on many a field hardly
contested with the enemies of his coun-
try, and has farther signifed his patriotic
devotion to the Union by severe wounds
received in fighting for its preservation.
He may also be commended to the
Union voters of Delaware county as
their former fellow citizen whose rec
ord in political life and in the armies of
his country they may well be proud to
endorse and sustain.
General Hays was the first choice of
most of the delegates from this county
and would have received the vote of the
entire delegation on the second ballot
He was born in this place Oct. 4, 1922,
graduated at Kenyon College in 184O
and at the Law school of Harvard Col
lege in 1874, in which year he was also
admitted to the bar at Marietta, Ohio.
For seventeen years he has resided in
Cincinnati, where, prior to entering the
army, he held the office of City SoIici-
tor. At the outbreak of the rebellion
he was appointed Major Of the 23d Ohio
Infantry with which regiment he served
throughout the war, sharing in Rose
GRAMS West Virginia campaign, that
of Mcclellan in Maryland, in Hunters
raid on Lynchburg, and in Sheridan's
battles Of South Mountain he received a
severe wound. In Congress Gen. Hayes
has been known as a straightforward
and consistent advocate of. just and rad
.icaI reconstruction and ofthe democrat
ic principle of lf-gOvernment. In pri-
yate life he is esteemed for his upright
moral character and for his social vir-
tues.
Of Hon. Samuel Galloway, the NOM
inee for Lieutenant Governor, it is
scarcely necessary to speak. For many
years he has been known throughout
the country as one of OhiO's most

THE BEST WAY.-Speaking of the
coming Presidential nomination and
the propriety of making an effort to
have the vote of the Ohio delegation
cast as unit in the National Conven-
;ion, the Cincinnati Gazette makes the
following very sensible remarks which
meet our hearty concurrence. There
never was time when it was more im-
pOrtant than now for the Union party
to repudiate eompromisers and trim
mers as party leaders, and adhere TO its
best and truest men. The principles of
our party are plain, and should be ad-
hered to faithfully and strictly. Let us
have no one TO lead us who cannot
stand upon them squarely without dodg
ing or compromising.
SAYS the Gazette: The best mode OF
securing that the State of Ohio shall be
a unit in the Presidential nomination, is
by uniting in the principles of the par
ty, by keeping these in advance, and by
adhering to the men who have proved
themselves faithful to them, and who
will not shove them aside, nor combine
with anV doubtful, or dOuble-faced, or
uufaithtnl, or reactiOnary political ele-
ments. Il faSten them upon the State,
D ana TO place men whose honesty ana
fidelity, through many years of trying
I service, has won their entire confidence.
1 Such weakness will not unite the Re
publican party of Ohio in a solid vote,
and it would be fatal to any man who
/ tried it. The State of Ohio has a num-
Der of men of ability in public affairs,
| but no surplus. She needs them all 10
/ fill her various State and National posi-
tiOns. 1t is not necessary to the emf
[ nence of any one that he should COM
/ bine to dispatch others who are most
distinguished by the confidence of the
! Republican party, and to bring the
| weaker and doubtful elements into the
| control of the State, so that there shall
| be no rival near the Presidential NOM
| inatiOn.
/ On the contrary, the way to success OF
personal ambition and to party unity is
| is to adhere to and combine with those
most distinguished for fidelity to the
/ principles of the party, and in whom
| the people have the most confidence, o
that success i'll Presidential ambition
shall 60 hand in hand with fidelity and
/ success in the State Government, and
/ in its representation in the Senate.
/ Any other course will be sure to fail,
! for the people do not share III that weak
ness of political ambition which in
/ clines to reaction in principles, and to
/ intrigue with Inercenary political ele-
ments when a Presidential nOminina-
/ ton is pending.

TREASON.

Horace Greeley is progressing at a
very. comfortable rate. He now holds
that neither Davis or any of those en-
gagged in the late rebellion can be held
for treason, giving his reason for the
faith that is in him, as follows
Doubtless our governments might in
the infancy of the rebellion, have seiz-
ed and tried the leading secessionists as
traitors.-But when the progress of
events had created what Mr.. Webster
terms a state of open, public war,
and we had recognized the act by ex-
changing prisoners, and even priva-
teersmen, the case was braveIy altered.
There could now be no longer a ques-
tion of proceeding against individuals
as guilty of treason or rebellion -
That is to say, killing one man is
murder killing a hundred thousand,
for the same purpose, is not murder.
According to Greeley, Jobn-BrOWn-
whose soul has evidently marched be
yOnd the Tribune establishment-Was
guilty of treason and justly hanged,
because, in his invasion of Virginia,
he slaughtered less than a score of men;
while jefferson Davis, upon whose
hands is the blood of a half million,
more or less, is innocent of crime, and
is no traitor because of the extent OF
his killing. After this, when an am
bilious individual desires to make war
upon the United States, let him see to
it that be makes war upon very large
scale. Let him be careful that his
armies number thousands that the re-
ports of the generals sent against him
show thousands slain let him burn
cities and deyastate States, if he would
avoid punishment in case of final de-
feat, for less than this dOoms him to
/ the hangman.
While Mr.. Greeley is in the humOr
for discussing this question of treason,
why does he not turn to the COnstitu-
tIon of the United States, which is sup
/ posed to be the supreme law of the
land, and refresh himself with this
/ section g
Treason against the United States
s'shaIl consist only in levying war upon
''them or adhering to their enemies
| ''giving them aid and comfort" 4"
/ This is the law under which jefferson
/ Davis, very much against his will it is
true, finds himself. We do not see that
/ it should make a particle of difference
/ whether the man who Violates~this Law
I is seized at the beginning or at the end
/ ing of his effort, or whether he has
slain a hundred or a million of men
I The law is that he who LEvIEs WAR UP.
