SOUED.-0n the Sth inst the Democracy
of Ohio and Indiana, in convention, unani-
mousIy recommended George II. Pendleton
for the Presidency. Being present at the
Ohio convention, Mr.. Pendleton said
1 thank you, because this compliment
comes from the tried, and the true and tri-
umphant Democracy of my native State.
TGreat applause. The Democracy which,
by its patient faith, its devoted courage, its
heroic effort, its answering fidelity to sound
principles, has achieved within the last year
an unparalleled success, and in the short
space Of Eve years brought as from min
ority Of a hundred thousand to a majority IN
the State. [Cheers. The issues that were
presented last year were well worthy the
struggle. They were to maintain the su-
premaeY of our white race they were to
prevent the Authorization Of ten States in
the Union, and the hybridization of our own
State of Ohio Great cheers They were
to raise from the shoulders of a long suffer
ing and over taxed and oppressed people the
burthens that were about to be put upon
them, and to give vent to the energies and
life which are about to lead them into neT
career of prosperity and progress. And those
same issues are to be settled in the coming
contest, not only in cur State but in the
Union and if the people of Ohio shall do
their duty IN the future, as l know they will,
as they have done in the past, whomsoeEer
shall be selected by the people Of the United
States as their standard bearer, will have the
pleasure and honor of placing it in victory
| upon the seats Of national power. Cheers I
The resolutions of the committee favor
the payment Of 5 20s IN greenbacks, and
adds:
ResolUed, That we are opposed, both in
| principle and policy, to negro suffrage that
| the State of Ohio having, by the emphatic
majority of $4,000 rejected it for herself, is
sternly opposed to its forced imposition upon
other States, and stigmatizes such an imposi-
| tIon by the Federal government as a most
base usurpation.
Resolped, That the practical effect of the
! so-called reconstruction acts of Congress is
| to deliver over ten States to the political and
! social control of negroes, and to place the
| lives, liberties and fortunes of the whites
residing therein into the hands Of barba-
rous people, and that it would inevitably lead
either to a war of races or to the Africaniza-
! ton Of the South.
ResolUed, That the people viii sustain
| Andrew johnson, Pres dent Of the United
/ States, IN his struggle with Congressional
usurpatiOn; and that we pledge the Democ-
| racy Of Ohio to support him IN all constitu-
/ tional measures to relieve the white people
/ of the South from the negro governments
now being imposed upon them.
ResokUed, That the fortitude and gallantry
Of cur soldiers in the recent civil war IN de-
Tense of the Union, entitled them to the
gratitude of the country, and they should
ever be remembered by It In its bounties.
/ ResoIUed, That the Democracy Of The
country have neither the purpose no= desire
to re-establlsh slavery, nor to assume any
portion of the debts Of the States lately IN
rebellion.
