OHIO LEGISLATURR-

make the following extracts from the
State Journal:
APPORTIONMENT BILL,
The vote by which this bill was lost
in the Senate, on the llth inst. was re.
considered; and the bill ordered TO be
engrOssed for third reading by vote
II to l6. The Journal says:
"Perhaps we have not fully appre.
hended The vote which some Of our whig |
friends gave on this bill on Saturday,
We observe that in casting their votes
in favor oi the motion to order the bill
TO third reading, Messrs. Nash and
Newton, at least discIaimed committing
themselves 10 favor Of the finat passage
of the bill. What we have feared, Is,
that the State was TO have been foully
gerrymaadered and that we were to be
estopped from holding the Locofoco par
~ to the responsibility ofan ACT for de-
frauding the people Of their constitution
al rights, by the policy Of some o(our
political friends, in compromising for
tho best that could be got We prefer
to go for strict justice, and ifthat cannot
be secured, TO permit those who contem'
plate an infamous wrong 10 do their
worst 1t very often happens that cor
rupt men, in their anxiety 10 oppress the
weak, Overreach themselves, and fail
wholly in the accomplishment Of their
objects However, as time has been CIV
en- 10 reflect upon the subject, we are
not so suspicious Of wrong decision in
this case as we were when we suppose d
the vote Of Saturday was indicative Of
the fate OF the bill, and that its final pas
sage was 10 have taken place yesIer-
day."
