and Scott were declared elected,

The rules were suspended and

The nominations having been
lmade, Hon. Fred. Hassaurek, the

PLATFORM.
The Committee on Resolutions
had prolonged session, occasion
ed by difference of opinion on two
or three points; first, as to declar-
ing in favor of Wade for Vice Pres
ident, and second, as to the taxation
of future bonds. On the question
of paying $40 bends in legal cur
rency there was great unanimity.-
AT 5 o'clock resolutions were adopt
ed as follows:
Re8oIUed 6y the Union PARTY of
Ohio, an ConUention assembled,
That the National Republican In
ion party having preserved the in
tegrity of the country; having de-
feated the atrocious attempt lately
made to inaugurate appeals to arms
and civil war from the legitimate
results of legal and constitutional
elections, and having placed Amer
ican nationality on the solid fouh-
dation Of liberty and the rights of
man, will elect to the Presidency of
the United States next November, a |
man under whose administration
will be completed the great task of
reconstruction on the basis of ma
tionality, liberty and true Demo era
cy, and who, with firmness, yet with
moderation; with justice, yet with
charity and liberality; with unswer-
wing loyalty, yet with prudence and
craftsmanship, will heal the wounds
of the war, reconcile the hostile ell
ments, and by his wisdom, econo-
my, rectitude and good faith, will
restore those sections of the
country which the Rebellion has
desolated, to prosperity and happi-
ness, and with the hearty co-opera-
lion of the peoples representatives
in Congress, will re establish the
relations of the several States to
'egenerated Union and to the bless I
ngs of everything, domestic peace. t
ReSolUed, That at this iuncture 3
he eyes of the country are directed
% one man who is eminently quail u
led by his character, position, an '
ecedents, and the universal conf L
lence which he enjoys, to secure a S
triumphant election next November, /
o terminate, when in office, the il
resent state of transition and sus- r
'ense, and to guide the nation to a e
lew era of good feelings and re- fti
tOred confidence. p
ReSolUed, That with Ulysses S.
Hrant for our President, and Ben .,
amin F. Wade for our Vice Presi- {,
ent, we can confidently appeal to u y
he loyalty, patriotism and intelli-
ence of the American people. n
ResolUed. That the chief obstruc- =
on to the pacification of the coun- ., 80
y has been the persistent opposi- =
on of Andrew johnson to the T.
4 Il
of civil government 4
/ the rebellious States, under the e,
lthority of National legislation, by =, "
eeping alive the spirit of rebellion, Y
nd reviving the hopes of resto- =
ltion to political power Of Its great z
ly, the Democratic party. II
ReSolUed, That we approve and !.
oplaud the action of the House of :,
representatives in the recent exer- 1Tt T
Sc of its high constitutional pre-
,gatiye, by the impeachment of Al
ndrew johnson for high crimes ".
i'd misdemeanors in office, and be- =,
ewing it to be the constitutional :"
notions Of the Senate, sitting as a
,urt ofjustiee to finally determine
cry question of law and fact aris-
g in the course Of the prssecu- M
IN, we invoke from all parties a atr
,aceable and law-abiding submis Al,
on to its Judgment in the case. VI
Reso5ged, That by the indecent
ste and precipitation with which Sa
c Democratic Legislature of our Cc
ate resciuded the resolutions rat
ing the 14th amendment to the "
Of the United States, CT
d thus condemned the PROPOSE ne
ms contained ins aid amendment
propositions which the people of of
iio, after a full and eXausting dis of
ssion, had indorsed with ever 40 of
0 majority-the Democratic par
has again manifested thatits res Oh
ration to power would put in ieop- of
