The manifesto further says:
" It is manifestly our duty as Democrats, in the present crisis, to pledge the Government not only all the aid in men and means, which the emergency requires, but also by our votes to yield it that moral support so necessary to the speedy accomplishment of its object.
" The true Democracy of Ohio, standing where they ever stood, still maintain the Democratic doctrines of freedom of speech, freedom of the press, a free and untrammeled ballot- box, personal liberty, and the due enforcement of the Constitution and laws and while they so believe and will so act, they do not approve of that anxiety for personal liberty which leads some good Democrats to forget that their Government is struggling for existence.
" This species of opposition leads to paralyze the arm of the Government, encourages treason, gladdens the rebel hearts, and if fostered and encouraged, our glorious Republic must fall."
