THE ANNEXATION

The editor of the Spirit has become married
man When we look into the countenance of his
young bride we almost envy him his happiness
'at least, we think that he must be an ungrateful
man who could not feel himself perfectly happy in
the possession Of such wife--and we at once set
the editor down as the luckiest man living John
Tyler excepted) And who, that has the soul of
a man, and is without wife, would not envy the
lot Of one who has just been joined with young
and lovely partner. who will smooth the rough
path of his existence, and speak cheering words of
consolation in every time Of difficulty or trial =
who will be the angel mini.terins to his wants
through good and through evil. She will share
with him in prosperity the fruits Of their mutual
love; and should fortune frown She will 9th and
comfort him, aud cheer his moments of adversely
friends be false, or the world he cold she is the
friend on whom he may ever rely--who will srrve
him always with pure and undyng love. Hers
is the boso on which he may lean in the honr
of trouble and whisper the inmust secrets Of his
soul with full assurance that they will find there
cheering response Hers Is the heart that viii
throb oniy for him. ard unite with his efforts It's
81 cerest hope for his prosperity and success
Hers is that pure and holy affection, that will make
glad his journey through life, and avert the sting
Of death in his passage to eternity. The truth is,
1.-THE treasures Of the deep are not so precious
As the concealed comforts Of a man
Locked up in a woman's love-"
All these have fallen to the possession Of the
editor: and we must beg to congratulate him on
the acquisition he has made. and nifer him our
sincerest wishes for his happiness through life, and
success in every laudable pursuit. AM.

ADJOURNMENT OF THE LEG
Isl ATTIRE

Both branches of the whig legisa-
ture adjourned sine dir. this morning,
after Il SESSION OF lO2 DAYS.
Never since the organization of Ohio
as state government, has Legislature
met. whose acts have been so utterly
Infamous as the one which has just ad
lourned. When their doings come to
lie canvasscd by the peope-their q h.-
grant violations oflaw, and of lhe con.
stitution-of honor and honesty. ex-
posed to public gaze. a spe ctac'e vii
he exhibited at which the patriot will
shudder. Fearful scenes have been
enacted--fearfu ou,ragcs committed.
and fearful will be the voice of pnpu-
lar indignation which will ring with
sickening agony in the ears of The ma
iorilv, who controlled both branches of
the General Assem- 'Iy. DlsunIon has
found open advocates within its walls.
and sentiments Of patriotism were
laughed at in very scorn. Weak in
intellect, depraved and vicious and in
tolerant, their doings shew at the same
time. an il beciIity and recklessness
without parallel. .t..
They have at one fell swoop hurled
from office. in utter disregard Of law.

Engineers in the emp'oy of the state

imous majority, y,wh" prescribe proscriP
ton for opinion sake. have hurled from

salary scarce suffices to keep soul and
body together. a..
They have enacted laws. building nj,
in our midst, a privileged arisiocracy,
comforting on the favored few, privile
ges enied TO the many.
They have repealed safeguards and
restrictions, which Legislative pru,
dence has here' oiore thrown around the
people to protect them from charteren
swindlers.
They have violated the constitution
Of the United States and Of this state.
by annulling c"ntracrs between the
state and its citizens.
Under the pretence Of Retrench'
ment and Reform, they have created
new offices, that they might fill them
with partizans, and have increased the
salaries of other Offices. But we have
no room for the long and black cata-
logue which Il s. nopsls Of their doings
will make. An early and Il faithful his
tory Of the Legislature will soon be
prepared and published, and which will
>hew forth their acts in a light SO plain
that he who runs NAV read.
We cannot let this notice of the last
Legislature pass. without in the name
OF The people Of Ohio, thanking the mi
norily in both branches for their able
defence Of the peopl's rights. They
nave earned, and well deserve the praise
Of well done good and faithful servants.
and they will receive it from The peo-
pie whose rights they have so ably sus-
tanned. -Sid'exm0h, March l3.
