.7Goli,iOn-Thcra has been real farc.np in the
House to-day the subject Of Abolition and when the
House adjourned AZ noon, liz presentation Of petitions
had not been got through with. sort ofmandate
presented from Mr.. Walker, requiring the Legislature
10 eject any member who was siGo,.ho!d, II was
presumed that no mcmbe. Of the Ohio Legislature
owned slaves, and hence the folly Of receiving such
percmp,ory mandate, it not petition. Ii was
SENT after much sparrng, 10 the judiciary committee,
where al abolition matters sent.
The next petition to send Ambassadors 10 Ken
lucky and demand release of The slaves they sent
Ambassadors here 10 yet " Giack Laacs' passed. This
went also 10 the Judiciary Committee after much talk
and no little opposition. These papers couched
in language nct at a respectful, and the Democrats,
with Of the Wings, opposed the reception ont
of order, and only tending tc "spend the peoples mo-
ney" 10 useful purpose, and ending in good But
il very evident that there majority Of Abolition
ISIS in The House, and may look for repeal Of the
Black Laws, os all descriptions. So hurrah for the
Kentucky niggcrs-Sta'rsman.
ABoLIrIoN-We rive below an extract taken from
the "Phanthropst, rapid Abolition journal publish
ed in Cincinnati We ask for it calm perussl from
the South; ask for it that consideration " hch it
demands. 1t comments for itself:
"Van Buren, has received the votes Of
only two free States and five saveholdng States. The
free States have been cemented by the power and in
fuencc of Abolitionsts, and will remain cemented.
Let the South mark this prediction There is nothing
to the free States on the question of slavery.
They will continue TO complain of the inequality Of re-
presentation in the House of Representatives of the u.
S. and the sin of slavery and as they have pledge
from Gen Harrison 'hat he will veto nothing" they
feel encouraged to on, under the expectation which
seems 10 be we'll grounded that the "rree States will
hereafter invariably control the election Of President,
and eventually array the whole Of the Executive power
against slave representations and slavery it exists in
the States Charleston Mercury
VINO ARE OUR FRIESDs-We cut the following from
an exchange paper and cannot pass it without CON-
ment. New Hampshire is as firmly founded in Demo
cracy as her own granite iiis-and hence II IS natural
that snch proviso against Aboliti.n should be pro-
posed in her Legislature. In what Wig Legislature
of New England would such care for the South be
infested, or such resolution rcniured' We showed
recently that this staunch Republican State is far
ahead of her neighbors in education but this anti-abo-
lition move--if adopted think it will be-wll
prove her I" far behind them in political information,'-
like benighted South Carolina:
GAS EXCELLENT PRovIso.-In the New Hampshire
Legislature, few weeks since, bill was brought for
ward incorporate the Freewill Bapt Printing estab
lishment. Mr. Hoyt, one of the members moved to
amend by adding section providing that if the corpo
ration should print publish any thing the sub
ect Of Abolition of Slavery, the charter shall be null
and void."-U.

Polk the temporary appointment of U. S. Senator, in
place ofthe late Judge Grundy. The appointment WAS
first rendered to Ex-Gov. Carroll and afterwards to

account of his own iniirm health. The last Nashville
