OHIO STATESMAN.
SESSION. PAPER EOR Isa1-h

=
WE are aga.n on the eve of ano ner General
Assembly OF 'hs State. Those Oil whom he peo-
pie have conferred heir power for the Time beng
viii soon meet IN the Capitol Of your Stale, and
enter upon their duties ior good or for evil.--We
shall not tam prophet, and tell beforehand what
they will do, unchecked as the wings now are by
their opposing party; but Ge promise the people
that we shall keep a true record of their doings;
and we ask, as a matter OF justice TO all parties con-
cened, that they furnish themselves with the
means of information, so that they may neither
Judge hastily, nor ctfrom false impressions. We
ave become Il greats and mighty people, and if we
desire to carry out our great destiny, we must look
carefully iuto every subject bearing upon our
rights, and eilecting ourinterests as freemen.
We do not intend 10 Judge the wing Legislature
ustelectedbetOre hand, nor, as we have said pro-
phesy what their acts may be; but if we take the
giyngs out ofthat party, or portion oft, (for we
do not desire TO hold all responsible for what some
sayDthe coming session of our General Assembly
will be ole Of the ~cruzjest, widest, madest and
most reckless ofany one ever convened in Ohio.
They will lay the foundation of more party ma
lightly, more bitterness Of feeling, and do more to
upturn all stability in the laws Of the State and
ItllG GCliL4l vi llG DlutG SOhGlliIlSul tlIdAI all INC
Legislatures that ever preceded them. We are
we'll aware tina. there are many in the wing ranks
who protest against the "Shadowings FORTH ofthe
more reckless and unprinciplcd Of their party, but
we have not the least expectation that they can
check or control them. Having little hope of re-
taining power any ength Of lime, wo suppose
they will endeavorSo make all The use Of it pos
s,ble while il lasts. The democratic party having
no control, no check, the wings of course will
pursue whatever course they choose. Our labors
will be directed 10 making faithful, and not a
partisan record of what is done, except so far az
we may draw deductions and conclusions from
The facts themselves. There are many questions
that have long agitated the public mind, that we
should be "glad to see" Switzerland settled, too,
without partisan feeling, that they might remain
out Of party conflicts; but such a hope We have
not--dare not have, from what VIC see and hear,
Their banking prof ects-their taxing projects
their accumulation and concentration Of capital
in the hands of monopolists ofal kinds--their TN.
constitutional attempts to change The Congress
ional d~istIjcts, und perhaps the Legislative, also
their violation of cOntracis--their turning cut
of political opponents and tuning in of ~f4vorites
will be Of sufficient Importance TO make Il session
paper interesting 10 every person in the State
