THE PLATFORM.
The Committee on Resolutions
had prolonged session, occasioned
by difference of opinion on two OF
three points; first, as to declaring
in favor of W ade for Vice-President,
and second, as to the taxation Of
future bonds. On the question OF
paving 5-2O bonds in legal currency
there was great unanimity. At 5
o'clock resolutions were adopted as
follows 'a.sa-"s .- eaa
sResotued by the Union party of Ohio IN Com
rention assembled, That the national Re
publican Union party having preserved
the integrity of the country having de-
feated the atrocious attempt lately made
to inaugurate appeals to arms and civil
war from the legitimate results of illegal
and constitutional elections, and hav-
ing placed American nationality on the
solid foundation of liberty and the
rights ofInan. will5elects to the Presi-
dency ofth United States next No
.vember man Under whose administfa-
.tion will be completed the great task OF
reconstruction on the basis OF national
ity, liberty and true Democracy, and
who, with firmness, yet with modera-
ton; with Justice, vet with charity and
with answering loyalty. vet
with prudence and statesmanship, Will

which the Rebellion has desolated. to
prosperity and happiness. and with the
hearty cooperation of the peoples rep
in Congress. will re-estab-
fish the relations of the several States
to regenerated Union anlto the bless
ings of everlasting domestic peace.
Resoiped, That at this junct,lre the
eyes of the country are directed to one
man who is eminently qualified by his
character. position. antecedents, and
the universal confidence which he en-
Joys, to secure a triumphant electior
next November, to terminate, when in
Office the present tateoftransitiona and
suspense, and to guide the nation to a
new era of good feelings and restored
confidence.
I Resoloed. That with Ulysses S. Grant
for our President, and Benjamin +.
Wade for our Vice President. we can
confidently appeal to the loyalty, pat
riotism and intelligence of the Ameri-
can people.
! Resolued, That the chief obstruction to
the pacification ofthe country has been
the persistent opposition of Andrew
johnson to the reconstruction of civil
Government in the rebellious States
under the authority of National legisla-
tion, by keeping alive the spirit of re-
bellion, and reviving the hopes of a
restoration to political power of its
great ally. the Democratic party.
ResoLued, That we approve and applaud
the action of the House of Representa-
tives in the recent exercise of its high
constitutional prerogative, by the i'm
parchment of Andrew johnson toi
high crimes and misdemeanors in office
and believing it to be the constitution
al function of the Senate, sitting as q
court of justice to- finally determine
every question of 1awfaIitts fact arising
IN the course ofsthe prosecution. we ia
woke from al parties peaceable and
law-abiding submission to its judg-
3ment in the case.
ResoLred, That by the indecent haste
and precipitation with which the Dem
ocratic legislature of our State rescind
ed the resolutions ratifying the 18th
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States, and thus condemned the
propositions contained in said amend
neutrality-suspicious. which the people
of Ohio, after a full and eXhausting dis
Fcussion. had indorsed with over 10000
majority-the Democratic party has
again manifested that its restoration tC
power would put in jeopardy the results
of our great struggle. undo what has
been accomplished by the war; and
again plunge the country into disorder
