We head this Prospectus 3Session OhD
Statesman" we do SO, because that has
been the usual practice, and every one at
once comprehends its meaning. But as
the length of the Legislative sessions are
irregular and uncertain, which prevents
many from subscribing for session paper,
supposing it may only last teao aoeeks,
which is generally declared to be the inten-
ton previous to commencing, we have con-
cluGed to change the term and propose our
session papers for THREE MONTHS,
commencing on Monday the 4th day of
December, l948, and terminating on Sat
urday the Sd day of March, l949 (The

Ohio Statesman SESSION PAPERS, do
SO with an understanding that they will be
sent for a definite period. We do this
without any increase of the usual prices for
our session papers. We adopt the rule 80
that those who subscribe, may know defh-
nitely what they are subscribing for. II

gressional and other matter, previous to tho
expiration of the term of three months.
1t is scarcely worth our while to say any
thing with reference to the interest every
person must feel in the meeting at the Cap
ital of our State, the members elect Of the
approaching Legislature.
We shall make every preparation to
give full and satisfactory reports, as is GUS
tomary in the Statesman, and at no period
in the history of our State, has it been moro
important that every man should be tho
roughly informed of what is done.

The Stolen Gold ReCOvered!-Thief Ar

On Thursday evening last, Julius A.
Moore, formerly merchant Of this place,
was brought here under arrest, for having
abstracted from the Wayne County Branch
Bank the sum of $ll 900. He was lodged
in Jail to await hearing before Justice OF
the Peace, and on Friday was visited by
the officers of the Bank, who promised to
cease further prosecution, providing he
would tell them where he had secreted their
idol. e. the gold. He accordingly ac-
knowledged the theft, and stated that
part Of it was deposited in an clubhouse on
his mothers premises. The Bankers i'm
mediatey repaired to the spot, and after
diligent search among the filth and corrup-
ton, succeeded in bringing to light upwards
of $4,000.
This was all they wished. They were
very willing to abide by their promise, and
accordingly on Saturday, the several Justi-
ces of this place were consulted for the pur-
pose of ascertaiuing which of them would
place the bond for Moore's appearance at
the lowest sum, and (to their honor be it

consent to become the tools of these legal

at four hundred dollars!!! Moore, ac-

C. Gen. Taylor has constantly since,
as well, as before his nomina ten, de-
clared that he would not be pledged to ad-
minister the government upon the princi-
pies of any party. that he should, endeavor
to administer it upon the principles of the
Constitution; and it is. said that he will, be
the "President of the, People," If SO, the
Democracy will be well satisfied. If Gen.
Taylor conducts the government upon the
principles of the Constitution, if he shall be
the People president, instead''of the Presi-
dent Of the Cotton Lords and Bank nabobs,
who have so long been endeavoring appro-
pirate the government to their particular
benefit-if he shall exercise the powers of
his staff GA to protect the, rights and inter-
osts of the people from the cupidity of set

ssrvative of their PECULIAR interests, the De-

such has been, and we trust, ever will be,
the object for which we labor. The policy
of the coming administration is among the
things that are to be, and we shall patiently
await its developement, hoping constantly
for the best.

Gen. TayIor and the Wilmet Proyiso,

The Washington Union contain the fol-
lowin letter from Louisiana, written few
days before the election:
'To THE EDITOR OF THE UNIoN:-It
may not be altogether unimportant for
some Of your northern readers, or rather
for the northern wings, who are clamor-

80 man as they could have, to know his
real and expressed views on that impor-
tant subject. 1t will be remembered that
The General has declared his intention not
to interpose his veto, if elected, to arrest
the passage of any law, not "palpably in
violation Of the Constitution" which, in
connection with his Signal letter, and some
private documents, has doubtless furnished
his northern friends with very plausible
grounds for believing him favorable to Will

not believe any law to which that Provso

such an interference would meet his un-

he was doomed TO lose his own State if he
did not satisfy them on this tender subject.

him to possess any sympathy for the Pro-
