night for the great cause which we all
have espoused, not to hesitate to make
any sacrifice demanded to gain for us
the victory. So am ready to make
any sacrafice, SO am ready to go on
and do anything, to take upon my
shoulders any burden, or to lay down
any that may have been conferred upon
me heretofore.

OHIO REPUDIATEs THE MOVEMENT
RESOLUTIONS FORWARDED TO BEL
MONTHS REPLY.
COLUMBUS, o., October 16.
Most intense excitement has existed
to-day in political circles over editorials
in the New York World Withdrawing
the names OF Seymour and Blair and
Substituting those of Chase and Han
COCK, Adams, or some one else. The
State Democratic Committee and lead
ing Democrats from the city, including
Judge Thurman, Van Trump, Stafford
and others, were in consultation this
afternoon and evening. After full
and free interchange. of opinion, the
following resolution, offered by s. III.
Hadder, of Marion, was adopted and
sent to Seymour and Belmont:
ReSOLUed, That we see nothing in the
recent elections to shake our faith either
in the principles of Democracy or Its
nominees; that now, as heretofore, the
Democracy eschew the substitution o.
policy for principlE: that, therefore, we
are opposed to any movement by which
the names of Seymour and Blair shall
be withdrawn as our standard bearers
in the present national canvass, and
will not consent to the withdrawal, anG
that we pledge to them our hearty anG
united support in the present campaign
ReSoLUed, That the Chairman of the
Executive Democratic Committee be in
struoted to seud forthwith, by telegraph
a copy of these resolutions TO Hon. Ho
ratio Seymour and the Chairman of the
National Executive Committee.
In response to these resolutions, Bel
mont and Schell sent dispatch, re-
ceived this evening, which states that
the Democracy of New York are not
panic stricken, and do not propose tC
change the nominees.
The.resolutton above given is cor.
rect representative of the sentiments Of
the Democrats of this vicinity, II not o.
the entire State. Intact, one of the gen
tlemen present at the conference, an6
a prominent one, too, declared on the
streets, to-day, that he would sooner
vote for Grant than Chase. Democrats
here freely characterize the movement
as one of Manton Marbles abortiVt
schemes, which, il carried out, would
result in the complete disruption of the
Democratic party. They believe with
Old Abe: at is not best to swap horses
while crossing stream"
