those whom the people have entrusted WIN pow
er will be looked to with more than usual lnSer
| est. MANY express the opinion that we shall
| have one Of the most exciting and stormy Legls-
Iatures that ever convened at the capital OF OHIO
| Ifthe already givines out of the federal party
are any indications of the future nothing will be
too wild or reckless for the federal leaders TO
urge upon their followers. Ihey are aifeaoy
preparing to divide up counties for members OF
the Legislature, where it is likely to gain them
| member, and carry out every other scheme OF
gerrymander that may distranchlse the demo-
cratic voters And the plea will be, the necessity
of sustaining corrupt league OF BANKS. Inc
democratic minority in the Legislature, however,
is powerful, and numbering nearly equal to the
majority, and backed by Sgte-we have reason
to believe greater than the majority. This MI
nority will, of course, not be idle nor inefficient
spectators of any violence that may be attempted
upon their honest, confding constituency.
| The war question will, too become source,
most unquestionably, fprolonged and animated
discussion, not only in the Congress ofthe nation
but in all the legislative assemblies IN session
next winter, whether in Ohio or elsewhere; and
thousand other subjects involving legislation
and the expression of sentiment will be agitated.
| The wings have of late years, at each election,
promised the abolitionists that they would re-
peal the black laws of the State; and as, at the
late election, the abolition organization scarcely
showed ITSELF but was absorbed by the whig elec-
| tioneerers, that question has got to be settled.

Flood for the Senate, and H. S. Knapp for the
