SESSION PAPER FOR. 1857.

The approaching session of 1the' General
Assembly " Of the State Of Ohio will be one
ofinost lively interest. The difference be-
4 tween the two parties has seldom been SO
strongly markedsas during the late contest.
They have ayowed themselves distinctly in
favor Of widely different courses Of policy,
founded upon the most opposite principles.
The result has been a drawn battle,-the
small vote makes i very doubtful what would
be the popular will with full vote. The
Senate rs tied. All these circumstances
make US await the events Of the approaching
session with anxious expectations. ~ :.
Some of the more reckless wings have al.
ready limited their intention to dlsplace the
Senator'S from Stark and Wayne count les.
| If they make this attempt, the contest will
De anew thing in the, history Of Ohio; the
Iunwnvering irmness Of every democrat will
be tried; and we may look for such base at
tempts at bribery and corruption as have ta>
ken place at the capitol Of Pennsylvania.
Our labors will be directed to making a
faithful record of what lis done,-to giving
reports Of legislative proceedings at once full
and concise. Ouv aim will be to avoid the
tedious detail of each trivial NOTION. and to

annexation, new territory, and of slavery.
