A resolution was adopted in the Ohio
Senate last week to invite Generals Sher-
man and Thomas to visit the Legislature
in session. The vote by which it was
adopted was subsequently reconsidered by
a strict party vote, and the resolution re-
ferred to the Committee on Federal Rela-
tons. This was in order to purge it of the
word "loyal," n member declaring that
he did not want to be called loyal.

REPUBLICAN, CANDIDATES.

As to the candidates, General U. S. Grant
and Schuyler Colfax, who make up the tick
ct of the Republican party, L have not a
word personally of denunciation or detrac-
ton to utter against them. Ileave that whole
style, fashion and system, of political war
fare to our enemies, and I pray Heaven to
put it into their hearts to devote every hour
OF time, and every instrumentality as 10 man
ncr, through the press and upon the hust-
ings, TO its widest amplest scope, and foul
est, falsest, bitterest malignity. And Ipray
further that the war and the things of the
war, may make up the sole subject of their
speeches, their documents and their appeals
every way to the people, leaving to US, as
they did last summer and fall in Ohio, the
exclusive discussion, in every form, of the
great living qustions of the day-KestOratio
Negro Supremacy, Taxation, Tariff, Debt,
Currency, and whatever else relates to the
civil, the political and the material prosperi-
ty OF the country. These be our topics be-
fore the people, while to them we give, am
plest license TO howl on about 'cRebels, Cop
Pcrneaus, hu-hluAs, 1TallOrs, NOnNIctSO
Traitors, the Life of the Nation" the glory
of the war, and all similar subjects of de-
nunciaton or-of praise. AS for my single
self, glorying in every word spoken, every
vote given, every act done, and every wrong
suffered by myself in behalf of right and
liberty throughout the war, I am yet not now
to be provoked, by any taunt or denuncia-
ton, into discussion of anything connected
With it. 1t is upon trial, along with all its
actors and all its sufferers, before the dread
tribunal of history, and by the judgment
therein hereafter to be pronounced, I am
content to abide ''Where was Vallandig-
ham during the war 2" may be q very pref
| ty and telling conundrum in the mouths OF
'1oyal" orators; but it neither restores the
Union, maintains the Constitution, upholds
liberty, pays taxes, reduces the debt, stops
stealing, alleviates distress, nor in any other
way reaches the wants and necessities of
the people, or tends to bring them relief
from burdens now too grievous TO be borne.
Then, gentlemen, have no word of per-
sonal denunciation for the Republican can,
