The Kalida venture. [volume] (Kalida, Ohio) 1841-1865, 1846-01-29
for party purposes, and by partizan votes, will

On the night previous 10 Tue uay OF aD-
specialization, the whig members of the legis-
laturo, together with Gov. Corwin, ex-Sen-
ator Ewing, and other distinguished wings,
met in midnight caucus, in an upper story
in this city, with closed doors and windows,
with no light but the dim chickering's Of the
midnight taper, and there and then concoc-
ted and determined upon the deed, and a
direct appeal TO the people; and within twon-
ty-four hours after this revolutionary act,
these same whig members precipitated them
selves over the statey with their graifs and
sea-horses, and other hideous animals, al
ready prepared for battle. And let me tell
the gentleman from Muskingum, that in the
Chic State journal, published at that day,
he will find an address published from the
same whig gentleman, in which they assume
the doctrine now repudated by his party:
that they broke up the Legislature, and re-
fenod the matter back TO the people, be-
cause, had they suffered that bill 10 become
law, it could not be changed for ten years.
All! the leaf has not been torn out, but
stands as damning proof against him and
his party.
Governor Corwin, and the other whig
stumpors, took the same ground; and gen.
llemon expose themselves, and the hollow
hearted professions ofther party, when they
attempt to deny the doctrine. Yet, with all
this array of facts before them, they will
pass this bill; and no Argument of mine, |
know, can have any effect, and longer de-
bate would be like casting pearls before
swine. But | thank God, there is a consti-
tuional power behind the throne erected by
the whig party; and although might now
gives you right, yet your work will be cut
short in righteousness, by the Congress #
the United States.
MIR Olds' motion was negatived and the
bill passed
