a ] The Republican Union party of
Ohio, in Convention assembled de-
clare. p
lst That one of the great lessons
OF the war is that the American peo-
pie are nation and not merely a
confederacy of sovereign and indie
\ pendent States. ag-
I'd. That our existence as nation
y Is based on the great principles an
nounced in the Declaration Of indie
pendence, and indicated by the
proclamation of emancipation, the
constitutional amendment abolish
ing slavery, and the spirit of repuh-
;J lican democracy and Justice, which
underlies the reconstruction policy
o. of the 39th and 40th Congresses,
which we hereby fully indorse, and
u which we demand shall be carried
into complete elect by every needful
act of additional legislation.
ii,oc Sd. That while we will always
cherish and defend the American
system of local and municipal self
governments of local purposes, and
a national government for national
purposes, and while we are unal;er-
ably opposed to all attempts at CEN
+ tralization or consolidation of power
anywhere, we hold that liberty and
human rights constitute our great
national boon, which local or State
organizations must not be allowed
to abrilpa or take away.
t 4th. 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 be re-
stricted to privileged class, but
should be vested in the whole peo-
pie, without just or odious distinc-
tions, or qualifications not equally
attainable bv all and further believ-
ing that these sentiments are in
strict accordance with the spirit and
tendency of modern civilization, we
place ourselves on the simple and
broad platform ofimpartial manhood
suffrage, rs embodied in the pro
posed amendment to the State Con-
stitution, appealing to and confiding
in the intelligence justice and patri
otism of the people of Ohio, to ap
prove it ut the ballot box.
5th. The American people owe a
debt lasting gratitude to the brave
soldiers and sailors who in late strug
gle for our national existence, 80
'nobly fought for our liberties and
for the priyations, suferings, and
sacrifices which they endured. The
loyal men of Ohio hereby pledge to
them and to the wi lows and orphan
of those who fell in defense of the
nation, our syupathies and sub
stantial support
vT- 9th. That we approve and endorse
the military administration of ouI
distinguished fellows citizen, Major
Gen Phil.aH. Sheridan, in Louisiana
and Texas, and pledge him and tho
i. military commanders in the severa
military districts of the South, the
g'd cordial support of the Union men Of
:, Ohio in their efforts to protect tht
loval people Of the late rebel States
and to secure the organization OF
loyal and constitutional govern
ments in said States.
7th. That we fully indorse and ap
prove of the administration of oui
present Governor, j. ID. Cox. an6
faithful and able manner in whici
he has discharged his official duties
and sustained the credit and hono1
of our noble State. -

EVENING SCHooLs.-The Importance, val
ne and necessity of public evening schools in
all cities and centres of population is being
urged upon public attention with increased
earnsstuess by our best educators. In chi.
cago the city school board have for some
tim. main tanned two or three or more even
ing schools for the gratituous education of
the youth, as in the day schools. The success
attained In these, and the evident necessity
for an extension of the benefits they secure,
has prompted an earnest demand for more
schools OF similar character.
Young Mr.. McElherne, at the catholic
church, is now keeping an evening school for
such pupils as are obliged to work during the
day. 81. ~ ..4w q.
The city council will hold special meet
ing this evening, at which the ferry company
will ask a renewal of its charter for 10 years
by paying $500, year, thus repudiasing it's
former agreement and getting a guarantee
of fortune for each and every one of their
heirs. The city council should oppose the
whole scheme, and get charter for the pee.
pie, in the name Of the city. and then sell tn.
privilege to the highest bidder. The people
could thus derive large revenue and lessen
the taxation upon thsselves.
We shall see what aldermen stand By ths
peoples rights, and who is controlled by tn,
