III L STATESMAN.
SESSION PAPER FOR lsl4-5.

WE are again on the owe of another General
Assembly ofihis State. Those on whom the peo-
pie have conferred their power for the time being
will soon meet in the Capitol of your State, and
enter upon their duties for good or for evil.--We
shall not turn prophet, and tell beforehand what
they will do, unchecked as the wings now are by
TIER opposing party; but we promise the people
that we shall keep Il true record OF their d0ings;
and we ask, as a matter of Justice TO all parties con-
cerned, that they furnish themselves with the
means of information, so that they may neither
Judge hastily, nor act from false impressions. We
ave become a great and mighty people, and if VIC
desire to carry out our great destiny, we must look
carefully iuto every subject bearing upon our
rights, and effecting our interests as ireemen.
We do not intend to Judge the wing Legislature
just elected before hand, nor, as We have said pro-
Phesy what their acts may be; but if we lake The
givngs out ofthat party, or a portion oft, Qor we
do not desire TO hold all responsible for what some
say, the coming session of our General Assembly
will be one of the %crazest, widest, madest and
most reckless of any one ever convened III OHIO.
They will lay the foundation of more party ma
ignity, more bitterness of feeling, and do moro 10
upturn all stability in the laws Of the State and
the action of the State Government than all the
Legislatures that ever proceeded them. We are
well aware that there are many in the wing ranks
who protest against the "shadowings forth" oftho
more reckless and unprincip.ed ofthelr party, but
we have not the least expectation that they can
check or control them. Having little hope of re-
tanning power any length of time, we suppose
they will endeavor TO make all the use Of it pos
s.ble while it lasts. The democratic party having
no control, no check, the wings OF course will
pursue whatever course they choose. Our laborS
will be directed TO making a faithiul, and not a
partisan record Of what is done, except SO far as
we may draw deductions and conclusions from
the facts themselves. There are many questions
hat have long agitated the public mind, that we
should be "glad to sce'' setiled--and settled, too,
without partisan feeling, that they might remain
cut of party conflicts; but such a hope We have
not--dare not have, from what we see and hear.
Their banking projects-their taxing projects
their accumulation and concentration Of capita!
in the hands of monopolists of all klnds--thc!r I'M
constitutional attempts to change the Congress-
ional districts, and perhaps the Legislative, also
their violation of ontracts-thcjr turning out
of political opponents and turning in Of t]lvorltes
will be of sufficient importance to make a session
paper interesting TO every person in the State.
To all, therefore, we offer the OHIO STATES
MAN, and ask it as favor that our ficnds OK
ert themselves in circulating among their friends
