The Platform:
The Resolutions adopted unanimously by the Democratic Convention at Columbus yesterday are of a character to command universal respect, and will be heartily and enthusiastically indorsed by every Democrat and conservative man in the State. It is needless to say more than we cordially indorse every word of those resolutions, in all their length and breadth, and shall defend them with all the ability we possess.
We glory in their explicitness, as well as in their truth and justice. In them there is no dodging of important issues no concealment of opinions on sentiments honestly entertained—and no ambiguity in the words employed. The issue now being fairly made up, our opponents will find it necessary to either discuss each proposition laid down in our platform on its merits, or yield to the resistless power of truth. Inviting the most rigid scrutiny, we repeat that we cheerfully, joyfully, and fearlessly indorse this glorious declaration of principles, and most sincerely do we believe that a large majority of the people of Ohio will say Amen to it.
