Proceedings of the Young Men’s Democratic Club of Goshen Tp.
The Young Men’s Democratic Club met at the Court House on Saturday evening, April 25, and was organized by calling J.D. Elliott to the Chair, and appointing C.H. Mathews Secretary.
On motion of James Patrick, Jr., the Chair appointed the following Committee to draft resolutions embodying the sentiments of the Club: James Patrick, Jr., C.H. Mitchener, and J.B. Reed.
On motion the Chair appointed the following Committee to draft a Constitution and By-laws: G.W. Dougherty, C.H. Mathews, James Patrick, Jr., Jacob Young, D.W. Stambaugh.
On motion, the following Executive Committee was appointed, consisting of G.W. Dougherty, C.E. Mitchener, A.Crim, P. Copeland, John Arn.
After a few well-timed remarks from D.W. Stambaugh, Esq., the Committee on resolutions made the following report, which were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, We, the members of the Young Men’s Democratic Club of Goshen Township, knowing that the history of the Democracy of Ohio is a record of unceasing and unvaried devotion to the Union of the States, ever fulfilling the injunction of the Father of his Country, “to cherish a cordial, national and immovable attachment to it, accustoming themselves to think and speak of it as the palladium of their political safety and prosperity, watching for its preservation with jealous anxiety, discountenancing whatever might suggest even a suspicion that it could in any event be abandoned, and indignantly frowning upon the first dawning of every attempt to alienate any portion of our country from the rest, or to enfeeble the sacred ties which link together the various parts,” do therefore
Resolve, 1st. That inasmuch as the Democracy ever have performed their whole duty in the maintainance of the Constitution, the Union and the rights and liberties of the people, we have an abiding confidence in the integrity, wisdom and statesmanship of that time-honored party.
2d. That while we will, as heretofore, discourage all mere factious opposition to the Administration, and will continue to give our earnest support to all proper measures to put down the rebellion, and will make all the allowance that the necessities of the case require of good citizens, we protest against all violations of the Constitution of our fathers and hold sacred our right to free speech, free press and a free ballot box.
3d. That we are the devoted friends and warm advocates of the Constitution and the Union, and that we have no sympathy for Abolitionists or Secessionists, regarding them as the enemies of the Constitution as it is and the Union as it was, and as the sole originators of the causes which have torn asunder and drenched in blood our once happy land.
4th. That our brave soldiers, who have voluntarily exposed themselves to all the horrors of war, and with their strong arms and bold hearts are turning back the tide of battle that would otherwise crush and destroy us, are entitled to our warmest feelings of gratitude, and their families and loved ones at home to our earnest sympathy and our most generous support and relief.
5th. That the extravagant acts of the last Congress, in entailing upon the people some four hundred increased officers in assessors and collectors of the national taxes, at a cost of millions of dollars — all which might have been saved by authorizing the national tax to be collected by the different State governments — is an enormity too great for the people to bear in silence, and we pledge ourselves, and call upon the people everywhere to these useless officers, and put a stop to such a wholesale squandering of the public money, to enrich political partisans.
6th. That the wholesale corruption and plunder practiced by too many of our officials at the present time, in attempting to enrich themselves and their political coadjutors at the expense of and distraction to our exhausted and bleeding country, deserves the severest condemnation and bitter execration of all honest and true patriots.
7th. That we believe that had General McClellan not been deposed of his command by the Abolition influence at Washington, he would, ere this, have crushed out the rebellion and restored the Union.
8th. That the Democracy look to McClellan to yet save our country and become its President, and thereby bring this now unhappy people back to their former unity, happiness, peace and prosperity.
On motion, the proceedings were ordered to be published in the Ohio Statesman and Ohio Democrat.
On motion, the Club adjourned to meet on Saturday evening, May 9th.
J.D. Elliott, Ch’n.
C.H. Mathews, Sec’y.
