PROSPECTUS or THE
OHIO STATESNAN,
For the Session Of the Legislature.

AS usual, we issue our prospectus for the Ohio
Statesmen, during the session Of tho Ohio Legsla-
ture. Although defeated in the General Assembly,
we are by means disposed to give Ohio over to the
enemy, and the proceedings of those whom the peo-
pie have entrusted with power will be looked to with
more than usual interest. Many express the opinion
that we shall have one of the most exciting and sor-
my Legislatures that convened at the capital Of
Ohio. Ii the already gvings out Of the federal par
y are any indications of the future nothing will be-
too wild or reckless for the federal leaders to urre
upon their followers They are already preparing to
divide up counties for members Of the Legislature,
where it is likely to gain them member, and carry
out every scheme of gerrymander that may disfran-
chise the democratic voters And the plea will be,
tie necessity of sustaining corrupt league OF banks
The democratic minority in the Legislature, howev-
or, is powerful, and numbering nearly equal to the
majority, and backed by vote we have reason to
believe greater than the majority The minority
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, of prolonged and animated discus
sion, not only in the Congress Of the 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 tie abolitonists thatthey would repeal the
black laws Of the State; and as. at the late election,
the abolition organization scarcely showed itself,
bu, was absorbed by the whig electioneerers, that
question has to be settled
! We have engaged able reporters, (Charles B.
Flood for the Senate and H. S. Knapp fer the Housel
who will give faithful and full details Of the doings
of the Legislature.

reliable correspondents in Washington who will

tant incidents almost as quick ashley occur. Our
readers therefore bengpul nPossion Of thelstest.
