ea rnestly and perseveringly opposed by
all the friends of republican principles

The second, ''That the people OF this
State will strenuously oppose the acqulsl.
ton of any new territory to this Union,
in which the institution Of slavery is to be
tolerated or established; and this General
Assembly, in behalf Of the people Of this
State, do hereby strenuously protest against
the annexation of any more territory, with
out ON express provision by Congress, that
there shall be neither slavery nor involun-
tary servitude in such territory, ,sotherwise
than for the punishment ofcrime."
Third, "That the Governor be requested
10 furnish copies Of the foregoing resolu-
tions to the Senators and Representatives
in Congress from this Stute."
The resolutions were referred to the
committee on Federal relations.
Mr. Russell offered the following pream-
BILE and resolution:
WHEREAS, the experience of the past three
years has fully testified and fully demon.
strated the ability Of the Banking insti.
tuition Of this State to provide the people
with q safe, uniform and convenient cur
rency at all times convertible into Gold
and Silver; therefore
Resolued by the General Assembly of
the State Of Ohio, That it would be un-
wise, impolitic und unjust to adopt any leg
islative provision repeating the charter of
these Institutions, compelling the taxes Of
the people to be collected and paid in gold
and silver only-the business of the State
10 be transacted with an exclusive metal
ic currency-imposing additional burthens
upon the farmer and laboring man, and ut
the same time greatly enhancing the wealth
of the purse-proud capitalist. -.
Referred to standing committee on Banks
and currency.
In committee Of the whole, the bill for
the Exemption of the Homestead was con-
sidered. MIR Totten moved to strike out
oil after the enacting clause, which was
carried. Mr. Potter proposed on amend
ment to the effect of abolishing all laws for
the collection Of debts hereafter incurred,
which was lost.

their action, and charges the Congress with in
tolerance The government has taken a no less
determined stand. It insists that the will of Con-
gress is absolute and has armed its forces to put
down the Catholic cantons and expei the Jesuits
The division of strength is as twoto one in favor
Of the government. Both parties are using the
utmost activity, their forces are well armed and
their enthusiasm such as only mountain bred
people can feel. On both sides the cry is "wE
BATE FOR THE LORD ~ and with such battle
cry, ifFrance and Austria do not interfere. las
they have threatened in support of the "Sonder-
bond, ~ its fate will be the next thing to exter-
mination. Already slight actions have taken
place and the next steamer may bring the news
of thousands slain in battle, and villages and
cities sacked and burned for the sake of religion
and the glory of God. We cennot be too thank
full as Americans, that under our happy govern
ment such religious liberation exists as precludes
the possibility of war for the support or sup
preston Of any form Of religion.
