PROSPECTUS OF TIE
OHIO ESMAN.
For the Session Of ihe Legislature.

As usual, We issue our nroenoc'us for the OHIO
Statesman, during the session Of tho Ohio Legisla-
ture. Although defeated in the General Assembly,
are BY no means disposed 10 give Ohio over to the
enemy, and the proceedings OF those whom the peo-
pie have entrusted with power viii be looked to with
more than usual interest. Many express the opinion
that we shall have one Of the exciting and stor-
my Legislatures that ever convened at the capital OF
Ohio Ii the already gvings out of the federal par
ty any indications Of the future nothing will be
too wild reckless for the federal leaders to urge
upon their followers. They are already preparing to
divide up counties for members of the Legislature
where II IS likely to gain them member. and carry
out every scheme OF gerrymander that NAV dsiran-
Chise the democratic voters And the plea will be,
the necessity OF sustaining corrupt league of banks
The democratic minority in the Legislature, howev-
er, is powerful, and numbering nearly equal to tie
majority, and backed by vote we have reason to
believe greater than the majority The minority
will OF course, not be idle inefficient spectators
Of any violence that may be attempted upon their
honest, confding constituency.
The war question will too, become source. most
unquestonabiy 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 the aboltionsts that they would repeal the
black laws of the State; and as at the late election,
the abolition organization scarcely showed itself,
but was absorbed by the whg electoneerers, that
question has to be settled,
We have engaged able reporters, Charles B.
Flood for the Senate, and H s. Knapp for the House
who will give faithful and full details of the doings
of the Legislature.
We shall also have one ot the most able AMI
reliable correspondents in Washington, who will
give lucid daily sketch Of matters there: and
also Daily Telegraphic Despatch of the ilnpor-
tant incidents almost as quick Sthev occur. Our
readers therefore beingpU nposson of the latest,
