based on the great principles announced
IN the Declaration ofIndependence, and
V1ndtc2ted by the proclamation of
emancipation, the constitutional
amendment abOlishing slavery, and the
spirit OF republican democracy and
justiCe, which underlies the reconstruc-
ton policy Of the 39th and 40th Con-
crosses, which we hereby fully inCorse.
and which we demand shall be carried
anoO complete effect by every needfuI
act Of additional legislation.
Sd. That while we win always cherish
and defend the American system of To-
cal and municipal self-gOvernments for
local purposes, and national govern
ment for national purposes, aud while
we are unaiterably opposed to all at
tempts at Capitalization or consolidation
of power anywhere, we hold that liber-
erty and human rights constitute our
great national boon, which local or
State organization must not be allowed
50 abridge or take away.
4th, That imbued with the spirit of
true Democracy, and believing that the
powers necessary for the purpose Of at
tanning the ends of government, ought
not to be restricted to a privileged class
but should be vested in the whole peo-
pie, without unjust or odiOus dfstinc-
aons, Or qualifications not equally at
batnable 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 Dl form
of impartial manhood suffrage. as EN-
bodied in the proposed amendm to
the State Constitution, appealingto and

and patriotism Of the people of Ohio to

governments in said States.
7th- That we fully endorse and ap-
prove of the administration of our

THURMAN's POPULARITY SOUTH.-A
veteran soldier of the 73d Ohio Regi-
ment related in our hearing the other
day, an incident that occurred on the
campaign from Chattanooga to Allan
ia. He says that while his regiment res
ted for few minutes at EtOwah, in
Georgia, he had some conversation with
rebel lady. Her first inquiry was
about Judge Thurman, of COlum bus,
Ohio, the present candidate of the Cop
perhead Democracy for Governor. The
lady was out-spoSen in her praise of
the Judge and his family. She said that
the Confederacy had one friend in Ohio,
at least, tried and true, in the person OF
Judge Thurman. She said she had a
son then prisoner Of war at Camp
Chase, who always spoke in the highest
terms Of praise Of the conduct Of the
Judge and his family toward him and
his associate prisoners of war. Was ever
a mother of a sick or wounded Union
soldier confined to the hospitals about
columbus known to bear testimony TO
the acts OF charity Of Judge Thurman
and his family? We guess nOt.-Kea1-
ton Republican.

ona.tNIzE. REbpnLfcANs :

Upon prompt and efficient oreaniza-
ton VIII depend In a great measure the
results of the pending campaign. That
the people may vote right it is only nee
cssary that the issues of the day should
be thoroughly caBvassed and every
voter well informed. There should be
no slackness, no want of vigilance or
energy in the machinery Of our party
now. The cause is one of vital import
anee, and involves the unity and safety
of the country for all time to come.
The issues of the war are not yet settled
and until they are it behoves every
man who has the good of his country
at heart to be at his post, and to work
faithfully and zeaIously for our cause.
No one is entitled to be excused the
services of all are needed.
There ought to be a ub-committee in
every township and every school dis
trict TO supervise the distribution OF
docdments and the appointment OF
meetings. These committees should be
organized at once and report without
delay their wants to the Central Com
mittee. We should not wait to be at
tackled but Immediately take the often
sive. Our enemies are diligently al
work. Their only hope is in exciting
the preiudices and misleading the
| minds of the people, BY these means,
while they have no expectations of car
/ Tying the State, they hope nevertheless
to carry the local elections, and thus
! secure enough mem bers of the LegisIa-
ture to elect the treason-sympathizing
Thurman to the United States Senate.
This is their scheme, and Union men
everywhere should make prompt efforts
to defeat it. They should go into the
campaign well drilled and in solid
phalanx. Ohio has won an enviable
name by her glorious Union majorities
and that name should not be tarnished
now by partial victory, when com
plete and glorious one may be achieved
by making the effort.
Let everybody work diligently and
all work harmouiously together. We
carry the colors our fathers flung out
1 in '76 and stand upon the same prin-
ciples which they announced as the ba-
sis of our government. We stand by
the Union indissoluable and perpetual
vinlicated by the blood of halfa million
patriots. We fight the enemies of these
principles. We fight those who eoun-
Fselled secession, encouraged rebellion
and still encourage and foster dislovaL
| ty. With such a cause, in such bat
tie who that loves his country can hes
itate to step forward into ranks ? Into
line, then, and forward to victory !

Thurman thus relieves the emotions of
his loyal soul in his speech at WaverIy:
Indeed, it is but truth to assert
"that there is scarcely a provision of the
Constitution that has not, within the
'Iast six years, been shameIessIy and
''needIessly trampled under foot.''
Agreed; and by whom has it been done i?
Why by just such scoundrels as Thur
man, who organized rebellion to des-
troy the Constitution, and if whose wish
es had been gratified we would to-day
have had no Constitution or Union eth
er. Does Thurman think the rebelI-
ion was constitutional? ? Does he think
the diabolical starvation at Anderson
vile and Libby was constitutional
Was it cOntitutiOnal for him to enter
tain at his house rel bel guests from Camp
Chase? Was it constitutional for him to
send the greeting of 200, 600 Ohio Demo-
Gratis to the rebel armies then struggling
to destroy the Union? Was it constitu-
tiOnaI for MIN to send his fulsome and
traitorous sympathy to rebels in arms?
Was it constitutional for him to counsel
resistance 10 the draft and to belong to
a secret organization avowedly fratern-
izing with rebels? Was it constitution
al for him, when the country was en-
gagged in life and death struggle, to
denOunce our currency as rags and our
government as a consolidated despot-
ism? Was the Fort Pillow massacre
constitutional? Was the firing on Fort
Sumter constitutional? Were Semme's
pilatical depredaions on the high seas
constitutional? Was secession consti-
tutional? Was the assassination of
the President constitutional? We're the
Memphis and New Orleans riots consti-
tutioual? Was the Mobile shooting at
Judge Kelley constitutional Was
Throckmorton's numbering of Union
men in Texas constitutional?
o, verify, verify, Thurman, the con-
stitution has been violated, fearfully vi
olated, and that by Democrats. Do you
not remem Der that SOC, 600 loyal soldiers
perished and a debt Of three billions of
dollars was incurred in saving it from
utter destruction by Democratic WARP
And yet you would place that Constitu-
tuition. so infinitely va luab1e, saved at
such a priceless sacrifice, back in the
keeping of the very men, Hike yoarself, |
who sought to destroy It'll Ahl but you
can't deceive the loyal people of Ohio
into such a scheme, Mr.. Thurman. They
will never consent to it, aeUer, NEVER,
NEVERI

The REBEL TRIUMPH IN KENTUCKY.
-The DemocraticaHpar5y has succeeded
in Kentucky by its usual majority some
nifty or sixty thousand. This was about
the majority last year, and it will be the
majority of Helm, the Simon Pure Sc
eession cadidate for Governor this year.
This is the party which at its meetings
during the canvass last year, as was Sta
ted bg the Louisville Journal at the
TIME, che6red the names Of Confederate
+ leaders, and hissed and scofed at the
name of Grant and Of other Union Gen
/ erals, without a single expression to the
contrary in either case.
This also is the party which is in full
sympathy with the Thurman party of

The Columbus journal, of Wednes-
day, speaking OF the Republican nom
inee OF this county for Representative
says: "He Is stIuc lively the repre-
sentative of the yuui and healthy rad
icalism of old conservative Delaware. -
Lest false impress ion shoul be created
we desire to say coneerningth nominee
in question and we think we are fully
authorized to speak for him, that as a
candidate otthe Union Republican party
he will not consent TO be the distinc-
tive representative of either conselva-
tism or radicalism, or any other sub
ordinate combination within or with
out our party limits. He will knoN.
only the Union party united, and
stands as its candidate upon those
principles where all who belong to it
join in sentiment and stand in com
mon. He expects the support of no
conservative who is not radical enough
to endorse the State platform, and of
no radical who is not conservative en-
Ough to do the same thing. In short, to
his mind, there can be no difference in
this campaign between radicaHsm and
conservatism, and while we are fighting
for great and vital principles upon
which all agree, there ought to be no
disagreement or disaffection ON account
Of minor issues. The person spoken of
hopes to be considered and understood
as the candidate of the Union Republi-
can party and not of any special part or
portion of it whatever.
