There has not as yet, been any final action on

| am sustained In my opinion, heretofore eX-
pressed, of the time-wasting and frivolous acting
OF the men occupying the responsible position OF
legislating for this great State, embracing two
Millions Of inhabitants, by Judge Wright, himself
of the same party stamp with the majority; who,
in a. letter from this city to his paper at Cincin-
natl, (the Gasette) says: VI regret to say, our
literally nothing, towards the business proper
that should be attended to-
And was it not that wished to aid in holding
up to the. scorn of the American people the
"iniquity" of mere party legislation, work in
which the Herald Gas Governor Bebb, shame to
himself, says of Ohio, in regard to the war;
" stands in the fore front OF opposition" would
not have much to say in response to the editors
request "to give sketch OF the important do
ings of the Legislature
And ii is in view of the benefit to the country
at large, resulting from such and similar expo
sltions, given through the columns OF the Herald,
that here again refer to the fact, that hour alter
hour, of each days sitting OF the General As
sembly of Ohio, during the past week. has been
consumed in the pre- sentation and discussion OF
the :" Corwin denouncing' petitions, introduced
and dissolution of the Union" petitions, here
tofore introduced by the wings. Thus are the
tax-paying people mulct out OF their hard earn,
logs, in having to foot the expenses OF mere
party-leglslation. Numerous petitions hayA3ueen
presented, the tenorof which pray that the as
lature instruct Thomas Corwin to resign hiyseat
in the Senate of the United States; that he be
tried as traitor, and awarded traitors doom
or, that he be condemned to the penitentiary, or
confined in the lunatic asylum, during the war
with Mexico. The question of receiving or
rejecting, first-then Of laying the table OF re-
ferrlng TO committee, these petitions, affor :
an opportunity OF speaking for parties -buncomb,
of which elimination and re-crimination, with
the slang phrases and expectations of "tories and
traitors" 6 tederaliss and nd, Mexican wings"

spoints'' to hang the speech upon. And this

moniacal spirit can call it naught else have
the talent and the ability to fill with dignity and
honor any station in our government
A number of railroad charters are in progress,
and most of them will probablybe granted. |
Will hereafter devote special review OF the 10,
routes. A general bill is also under considera.
ton, and will likely pass, authorizing the COM
missioner OF any county through which rail-
road is located, to subscribe given amount of
stock, and then submit: their subscription to
vote of the people of the county.
The several boards oftrustees, aud directory OF
the State institutions, have presented their an
nual reports, from the reading OF which by the
clerks, gather the opinion that few States in the
Union have a more enlarged provision and bet
ter managed retreat for the insane. And the
same may be said of the two asylums--one for
the blind, and another for the deaf and dumb.
The penitentiary for criminals is also under
good regulations and control. The statistics fur
nished in these elaborate reports, furnish inte-
resting items to the philanthropists and the states
men, the world over, and so soon as can get the
favor from so ne member, of the printed copies,
the readers of the Herald shall be furnished with
copious extracts therefrom
Delegates are already crowdlng into the city,
to the Wing State Convention which is to con-
vene on Wednesday of this week. Usually
heretofore, there has been less division in the
wing ranks Of Ohio, than in the democratic
party. The reverse seems now to be the case.
The choice tor candidate for Governor appears to
have narrowed from some dozen heretofore
named to but two-namely, Hon: Columbus
Delano, of Knox county, and the Hon. Seabury
Ford, of Geauga county. The latter was first
announced by the SciOto Gasette, "a wing paper
of the highest standing In the State, and one OF
the first and most jealous advocates of General
Taylor for President; and, though am not ap
prlsed of his own sentiments on the subject, yet,
as his nomination has been urged by all county
meetings at which no "Corwin" resolutions
We're adopted and, as the division in the wing
party has narrowed to between Corwin and Tay-
lor; and Mr.. Delano being emphatically the
choice of the Corwin-whigs,, Mr.; Ford may be
regarded as the Taylor candidate for nomination
for Governor. His friends, at least, if he does
not himself, occupy that position.
Simultaneous with the coming up of the dele
gates, also come the wing papers of the latest
dates from the several counties, discussing the
"proper duties'' of the convention. The point
at issue chiefly Is, that the Corwin wings wish
to put Mr.. COrwln in domination as the choice
of the wings of Ohio for President, and also to
select delegates to a national whlg convention
Whereas the Taylor wings object to any expires,
sion Of" choice" by the convention, and demand
that the delegates to national convention should
be elected by the wings within each Congress
sonal district The articles in the late Lebanon
Star, the "home'' organ of Mr.. Corwin, and of
the Xenia Iorchiight, the peculiar J" antl-war"
organ, and OF the Scioto Gazette, the leading
" Taylor" organ, and of the Cincinnati Gasette,
caster Gazette, Tom Ewns's" Clay Taylor or
gan, and others OF these several tones, Just now
send up to the capital such chimes OF Sweet
discord'' as have seldom been heard since the
invention and introduction of political organs in
this country. But, as the day is near NJ hand
when they are to compare notes, and agree (if
possbe) upon one and the same tune, Will re-
frain from an attempt to describe particulars,
though such of the readers of the HraId may
have heard the caterwauling of the Cinnamon in
Peters Museum, may, by comparison, form some
idea Of the " harmony" in the several whig or
gans of the wing party of OHIO on the eve OF the
convention of 1913. WESTERN SCRIBE.
