OHIO STATE JOURNAL FOR THE
SESSION.,

In cnnsonance with previous usage, the
proprietor of the ONO STATE JOURNAL
submits the following Prospectus to the
consideration of the citizens of Ohio. The
political character of the Jogr7na Is so well
known, that no new CONNIE 1ts are necessa-
ry to explain it. 1t is unequivocally oppo-
sed to the administration of Martin Van
Buren, and to all the mad schemes of him
self and his advisers. The Journal will con-
tinue, steadily, in the path of its long avow-
ed and long cherished principles. Success
cannot corrupt it, nor defeat intlmidate it.
AS faithful sentinel on the watchtower Of
American liberty, it will always be found
awake on Its pest.
During the winter, abundance ofinterest-
ing matter may be expected from the halls
of our State Legislature. The work of
BANK REFORM is to be finished, by the ma
iori,y who now rule triumphant, and we, in
common with the whole State, feel anxious
to investigate its operation and its progress.
Our attention will be given to the subject
most amply and unreservedly.
In every other respect, the Ohio State
Journal will adhere to its original plan and
character. It will be, emphatcaEy. a NEWS
PAPER, in whose columns may be found all
the interesting events Of the day. Con-
gresslonal reports, foreign and domestic
intelligence. together with the opinions of
our o-temporafies of the Press, and occa-
sional draughts from the pens Of our literatl,
will form an agreeably variety. A generous
support is requested.

The NEW HSIGNs OF THE TIMEs.n-We
had occasion to copy the other day, for the
information of our readers, an extract of q
Letter from Washington. written, as we
supposed, by Member of Congress, and
published in the Charlestown Mercury.
That letter, our readers may remember,
threw broad light upon certain late move
ments in the House of Representatives,
which, until vie we'd by that light, were TO
us at Ieast) wholly unntellgible. We now
copy from paper, hitherto opposed in poll
itics to the Mercury and the party with
which that journal is identified, another ex-
tract, hereto subjoined, Of letter from
Washington. Whether this letter also is
the production ofa Member ofCongress, we
doubt; but we do not doubt, from the quar-
ter in which we find it, that it is from an au-
thentic source. =
Correspondence of the Charlestown Courier.
WASHINGTON, JANUARY 6.
Mr.. CALHOUN has expressed an intention
to retire from the Senate as soon as his
present term expires, which will be in 1871.
His reasons for retiring is the expectation
that, after the passage Of the sub. Treasury
and Laud bills, matters now no longer Of
speculation, the country will be In state
comparative quiet. Another reason, how
ever, may be the fact that his name is now
united throughout the Middle States and
Vuginia for the Presidency, and that there
are many in the Senate, and he House,
ioho haze been heretofore silent that nolO press
his claims boldly for the o0ce. The Old
Dominion, from what we know of her
through her Representatives, here, will new
or support Mr.. BESToN, and the doctrines
of Mr.. CALHOUN are known to bethose of
the leading men Of both Wings and Demo-
Gratis Of the old JetiersoDian school. think
therefore, If Mr.. C.'s star was ever in the
ascendant, il is'at this time--he has deci-
dediy fle abiesf champions IN The RePresen-
fatius Hall, and many firm and s!csaes sup
poriys N he Senate.
