OF the war Is that the American people
are a Nation, and not merely a Con-
1ederacy of sovereign and independent
States. ..,-..ss- zt.. -.-
Second-That our existence as a ma
ton is based on the great principles an
nounced in the Declaration Of indie
pendence, and vindicated by the Proc
tanatiVn OF Emancipation, the Gonsti-
tutiOnal Amendment abolishing
slavery, and the spirit of republican
democracy and Justice which underlies
the reconstruction policy ofthe Thirty
ninth and Fortieth Congresses, and
which we hereby fully endorse, and
which we demand shall be carried into
complete effect by every needful act of
additional legislation.
7Hfrd-That while we will always
cherish and defend the American sys-
tenn OF local and municipal self.goyern-
ment for local purposes, and a National
Government for national purposes; and
while we are unalterably opposed to
all attempts at Capitalization and con-
solldation OF power anywhere, we hold
that liberty and human rights consti-
tute our great national boon, which
localor State organizations must not be
allowed to Rbridge or 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 the Government
ought not to be restricted to a prlvl-
legged class, but should be vested in the
whole people, without odious or unjust
distinctions and qualifications not
equally attainRble by all; and
further believing that these senti-
ments are In strict accordance with the
spirit aud tendency of modern civillza-
ton, we place ourselves on the simple
and broad platform ofimpartial man
hood suffrage, as embodied In the pro-
posed amendment to the State Consti-
tuition, appealing to and conhding In
the intelligence, Justice and patriotism
OF the people OF Ohio to approve it at
the bailot-box.
.FJLh-That the American people owe
a debt of lasting gratitude to the brave
Soldiers and Sailors who in the last
struggle for our national existence, SO
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 aud orphans OF those who fell
in defense of8the nation, our sympa-
thies and substantial support.
Si3th-That we approve and endorse
the military administration of our dis
itinguished fellow citizen Major Cen
eraI Phil. 81. Sheridan, in Louisiana
and Texas, and pledge him, and the
military commanders in the several
military districts of the South, the cpr-
dial support of the Union men OF Ohio
in their efforts to protect the loyal
people of the late rebel States, and TO
secure the organization of loyal and
constitutional governments in said
States. Ht
