The Soldiers Home Vote-Important
Decision.

A year. agu there was a con-
tested election for a county Of
fee in Montgomery county, o.
The decision of it rested upon
the legality of the votes of the
inmates of the Soldiers Home
IN Dayton, who, several hun
bred in number, voted for the
Republican candidate. The
Court below decided that they
were not legal voters there, but
only cast their suffrages at
the places from which they
came. An appeal was taken to
the Supreme Court of Ohio
That tribunal. upon a minor question Of
fact, has grantud q new trial, but at the
same time it has decided that the in
mates of the Dayton, Soldiers Home
are not entitled to vote, upon the
ground that they are within the exclu-
sive jurisdiction of the United States
and are not residents of Ohio within
tie meaning of the fifth section of the
constitution of Ohio"
This decision knocks on the head the
late act of the Republican Legislature
repeating the law of it's Democratic
predecessors, which did not permit this
illegal voting. For some years this
Soldiers Home vote has been an impor-
tant item of calculation in the Third
District. It is very close. politically
and two or three hundred votes may at
any time change the result. These in
valid soldiers have, by the coercion OF
the officers of the Home, been deprived
of all liberty Of choice, and obliged to
vote unanimously the Republican ticket.
Ii has thus, on more than one occasion,
been triumphant. Hereafter it is
known to be illegal by the decision of
the highest Court in the State, the
Judges Of Which are unanimously Re.
publican in politics. There has been
much discussion in State politics on this
point, and the Democracy have been iu-
diciallv sustained.

that we pledge ourselves to eff
feet a thorough reform in this
particular. We denounce the
in the present admin
|istration of the Federal Govern
ment, the corruption which has
entered all the official stations,
the favoritism, which, overlook
ing fitness for Office, has appoint
ed to positions of public trust the
friends or tools of those who con-
troll the public patronage, and
the imbecility which directs the
destinies of the Republic, with
out an apparent purpose, and
manages it's affairs with such en-
Ibarassment and disaster to the
material interests of the people
at home, and with such disregard
of the rights and liberties of it's
citizens abroad.
ResolUed, That land monopo-
.Iy is one of the great evils of our
country, and against the spirit OF
our institutions; that the whole
of our public lands ought to be
held as a sacred trust to secure
homesteads for actual settlers; we
therefore denounce the recent
action of Congress in making
grants to mammoth rail- Dad corr
porations which are already too
powerful and may become dan
gerous to q free people.
ResolUed, That we regard the
act recently passed by Congress
to enforce the Fifteenth A
mendment,n as unconstitutional,
unjust and oppressive, an inva-
sion of the rights of the States,
subversive of the best interests of
the people, and therefore dema and
it's unconditional repeal.
p RESOLVED, That the power of
the Federal Government to as
eess and collect taxes on Bonds
of the United States is clear and
unquestioned; and we demand of
Congress, that a share of taxa
ton equal to the fare average
amount levied in each State on
money loaned, shall be assessed
and collected from all invest
.ments in bonds.
ResoLued, That we r opposed
to the system of National Banks,
and demand the immediate repeal
of the law creating them, and
that in place of the notes of such
banks, treasury notes of the Uni
ted States should be substituted.
Resolved, That the Democracy
of Ohio sympathise with the eff
forts of all people struggling for
self-government, aud that we de-
nouncc the trucking of the Fed
eral Administration to Great
Britain and Spain, and the efforts
Of the party in power to reduce
whole States in our Union to a
of vassalege to the
General Government. 91'
Resolved, That the thanks OF
the Democracy of Ohio r ex-
tended to ALLEN G.. THURMAN,
and the Democratic Representa-
tives in Congress, who, though
in q small minority, have bravely
commended for the principles OF
Democracy and the. interests Of
the people.
ResoEued, That upon te fore.
going platform, we invite all the
electors OF Ohio, without regard
to past differences, to vote fol
the ticket thislday nominated.

Adopted by the Democracy
of Ohio, June LIST 1870.

We this week lay before. our
readers the Platform adopted By
the Ohio Democracy, in Conven-
ton assembled, at Columbus,
June 1sr, 1870:
The Democracy of Ohio com>
ing together IN the spirit of de,
votion to the doctrines and faith
of q free representative govern
ment, and relying for success mp
on discussion and the intelligence
of the people, deem the present
Convention q fitting occasion to
reassert the following time-hon~
ored principles of the Democratic
party:
That the Federal Government
is one of limited powers derived
solely from the Constitution; that
the grants of power made thereh
In ought to be strictly construed
by all the dependents and agents
of the Government, and that it is
inexpedient and dangerous to ex-
ercise doubtful powers;
& That the Constitution of the
United States is founded on the
fundamental principle of the en-.
tire and absolute equality of al
the States of the Union, and it ls
. not competent for Congress to
impose upon them any conditions
or restrictions IN respect to theil
internal concerns which the Fed
eral Constitution has not i'm
posed;
That the liberal principles EN-
bodied by Jefferson iu the Dec
Iaration of Independence, ant
sanctioned in the Constitution
which make ours the land of lib
erty aud the asylum of the op
pressed of every nation, have ev
er been cardinal principles of tn
Democratic faith, and every al
tempt to abridge the privilege
of becoming citizens, and th
owners of soil among Us, ough
to be resisted with the sam
spirit which swept the alien an,
scdition laws from tho statut
And, in order that we may tn
more distinctly declare our view
of the measures and policy c
the present administration,
u aResoIued, That we denounc
the present tariff, as we'll as til
substitute lately introduced int
the House of Representatives b
the Committee on Ways an
ii Means, as a gigantic robbery {
the labor aud industry of tn
country; that they are solely de
signed to advance the interests {
q few thousand monopolies, an
, that they should no longer b
submitted to, and that no candi
date for Congress, nor for an
other Office, is worthy of suppor
who is not in favor of a low revt
nue. tariff, which closely approx
mates to free trade; that in tn
arrangem ent of any revenue tai
if, all the necessaries of lii
should be absolutely free fror
duty. a4
RESOLVED, That the .Interni
Revenue system of the Unite
States Is uncomfortable In it's or
pressive exactions; that il shoul
be Immediately remOdeled; tbs
its annoyances of stamps and Il
censes and taxes npon sales an
incomes should be abolished
That the tax itself should be CO
Iected by the State and Count
officials, and that the multiplict
ton of officers is entirely IN
necessary, except to eat out tn
