PLATFORM.
The Republican Union party of Ohio,
in Convention assembled, declared.
lst. That one OF the great lessons Of the
war is that the American people are ma
tior and not merely confederacy of sover,
eign and independent States.
2i. That our existence as nation is bas-
ed on the great principles announced in the
Declaration of Independence, and yindicat.
ed by the proclamation Of emancipat' on,
slavery, and the spirit OF republican de-
mocracy and justice, which underlies the
rcconstrul ton policy Of the seth and 40th
Congresser, which we hereby fully indorse,
and which we demand shall be carried into
complete feet by every needful act Of ad-
ditional !, legislation.
Sd. That while we will always cherish and
defend the American system OF local and
municipal self governments for LEGAL pur-
poses, and national government for ma.
tional purposes, and while we are unaltGra-
BILE opposed TO all attempts at Capitalization
or consolidation 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 or take away.
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 people, without unjust
or odious distinctions, or qualifications not
equally attainable by all; and further be-
lieying that these sentiments are in strict
accordance with the spirit and tendency of
modern civilization, we place
ourselves on the simple and
broad platform Of impartial
manhood suffrage, as embodied
i'm the proposed amendment to
the state Constitution, appealing to
and confding in, the intelligence justice and
patriotism of the people of Ohio, to APP
prove il at the ballot box.
5th. The American people owe debt cf
lasting gratitude to the brave soldiers and
sailors who in the late struggle for our ma
tioual existence, 50 nobly fought for our
liberties and for the privations. sufferings,
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 sym.
pathies and substantial support.
9th. That We approve and endorse the
military administration of our distinguish
