The Republican Union party of Ohio,
in Convention assembled, declare, First,
that one OF the great lessons of the wal
is that the American people are ma
tion, and not merely confederacy OF
sovereign and independent States.
Second, That our existenceas nation
is based on the great principles an
nornced in the Declaration of lndepen-
dence and vindicated by the Proclama-
ton of Emancipation, the Constitution
al Amendment abolishing slavery, and
the spirit of republican democracy and

islation.
Third, That while we We will always
cherish and defend the American sys-
tenn of local and municipal self-goyern.
ment for local purposes, and national
government for national purposes, and
while we are unalterably opposed to
all attempts at Capitalization and con-
solidation of power anywhere, we hold
that liberty and human rights consti-
tute our great national boon, which
local or State organizations must not
be allowed to abridge OF take away.
Fourth, That imbued with the spirit
of true Democracy, and believing that
the powers necessary for the purpose OF
attaining the ends of Government ought
not to he restricted to privileged
class, but should be vested in the whole
people without urjust or odious
distinctions or qualifications not equally
attaiuable by all, and further believing
that these sentiments are in strict ac-
cordance with the spirit and tendency
of modern civilization, we place our.
selves on the simple and broad plat.
form of impartial manhood suffrage as
embodied in the proposed amendment
to the State Constitution, appealing to
and contiding in the intelligence, jus.
tice and patriotism of the people OF
Ohio to approve it at the ballot-bOx.
Fifth, That the American people owe
debt of lasting gratitude to the brave
soldiers and sailors who, III the late
struggle for our national existence, SO
nobiy fonght for our liberties, and fol-
the privations, suffering and sacrifices
which they endured, the loyal men OF
Ohio hereby pledge to them and to the
widows and orphans of those who fell
in defense of the nation, our sympathies
and substantial support.
Sixth, That we approve and endorse
the military administration OF our dis
tinguished fellow citizen, Maj. Gen.
Phil. III. Sheridan, in Louisiana and
Texas, and pledge him and the military
commanders in the several military dis
tricts of the South, the cordial support
of the Union men of Ohio in their efforts
to protect the loyal people Of the late
rebel States, and to secure the organi'
cation of loyal and constitutional gov
ernments in said States.
Seventh, That we freely endorse and
approve of the administration OF oul
present Governor, j. ID. Cox, and ex'
tend to him our hearty thanks for the
faithful and able manner i'll which he
has discharged his official duties, and
sustained the credit and honor of ouI
noble State.
