Ohio Legislature.

We have nothing of any general i'm
portance to abstract from the proceedings
of this body during the past week. The
principal subject before it has been some
resolutions concerning the War. At the
latest accounts, we had not heard what
disposition was made of it. These petit
tions about Tom Corwin, this subject of
the War, has consumed considerable
portion of the time ofthe Legislature and
we ask to what goodl Have any con-
verts been made one way or the other
has any influence been exerted upon the
General Government-or what is of in.
6nitely more importance, have the inter.
ests of the State, the interests entrusted
to our Legislators, been advanced by
these discussions, this waste of time and
money, in the remotest degree? We
know that it is usually said that the &C
ton Of a State Legislature may have some
influence upon that State s representation
in Congress-; but we have despicable
opinion of that Congrossman's indepen
dence, who is too cowardly to stand W
to the truth and defend it. unless backec
by resolution ola Legislature, whose
political complexion may change in
twelve month.
Among the local items, we find tina
bills were presented, to charter Rail
Road connecting this place with some
northern point and to establish Saving
Institute in this place. The bill to cree
the new county ofNatonal was lost il
tho Honse by tie vote. A motion wa
subsequently made to reconsider, whicl
motion was laid on the table,, Thus thi
matter stands at present. The bill t.
better regulate the Schools of Lancaste
is in the hands of the School Committe'
and has not as yet been reported.

SenI,uVv Ford.

The nomination of this long.tried and veteran
Wing has been responded to by the Wing Press
throughout the State, SO far as we have yet heard
by acclamaton. He is a man OF extensive ac-
quiremenis Of sound practical good sense, thor
ouglly imbued with the principles of the great
Wbig party, identified with the prosperity Of our
great State-in word, just such man as the
great mass Of Sound-thinking men would wish to
see at the head OF our State affairs
Opposed to him is an individual whose only
merit, ii we judge from the speeches and presses
Of the party, who nominated him, consists in
military glory, little renown won at the battle
Of Monterey and slight contact with muske
ball. We say this appears to be his only merit
as it is the prominent one.
We have no fears for the result. The goot
sense Of the voters of Ohio will put that man a
the head oGafiars. who is best qualified to appre
cate the wants, advance the interests ind promote
the prosperity of the State.

The result of tho sixth and last ballot
having been declared by the chairman
on motion of E. F. Drake Esq. the nomi-
nation of the Hon. Seabury Ford as the
Whig candidate was ratified with enthu,
siastc acclamaton.
On motion of r. M. Corwine, it was
ordered that the nomination be. by the
President, reported back to the Couven-
tion forthwith.
The nominating delegates then pre-
ceeded to the Convention, when, upon
motion Hon. j. Mathiat, Corwine
of Cincinnati, and johnson of Pickaway,
were appointed to wait upon the distin-
guished gentleman who had received the
nomination, and to communicate to him
his appointment as the standard bearer cf
the Wings of Ohio in the approaching
campaign
On motion of J. G. Gest, Esq, of
Greene, it was resolved, that the several
candidates whose names had been con.
sidered by the Convention, be requested
to address the same.
Col. James Collier OF Jefferson, being
called for, but absent OF duties connec
ted with his appointment by the Governor
ofthis State as one of the Commissioners
now sitting at Washington, to settle the
question of disputed boundary between
Ohio and Virginia; Mr., Russell of Harri'
son, by the unanimous demand of the
meeting addressed the Convention on his
behalf. His remarks were received by
the audience with enthusiastic applause
at the conclusion Of which address, Gen
Ford being announced by the committee,
the latter gentleman addressed the Con
vention in a mastery review ofthe course
of the Administration on the various top
les now agitating the public mind of the
country. These remarks the Secretary
will furnish hereafter, as he took notes
of the same.
Mr.. Gest, of Greene, then introduced
Hon. Columbus Delano, who addressed
the Convention in strain of unequalet
eloquence, on State and National inter
ests, and during an hour devoted to al
analysis of the flagitious and corrupt pro
cedure of President Polk, relative to hi,
abandonment of Oregon, while seeking
: to wrest from Mexico her territory. helt
the vast concourse enthralled in that rap
attention which this distinguished citi
: zen ever receives at the hands of his au
s di,urs
Hiram GriSwold. Esq, of Stark, wa
then called upon to address the Conveu
n ton, but owing to the lateness the hour
J. declined going into any expression q
present, further than fully and thorough
) y endorsing the veteran Wing who's

patty of Ohio for their suffrages as tn
d next Executive of tho Buckeye State.
On motion of Gov. Morrow, the Cor

SIntc Convention.

We pnblish to-day. the proceedings of ftheWhig
State Convention. The proceedings were con-
Quoted with harmony-save and except little
breeze which sprung up in the morning by an at
tempt to procure the passage of some resolutions
squirting alta State PREsrDESTIAL preference
These, however, were subsequently, withdrawn
and the Wings, in Mass Meeting assembled
showed themselves willing to support any good
Wing. who may be nominated by National Con
vention, by cheering for Corwin, Clay, Scott
Mclean, Taylor and every other name that wal
mentioned. This is the right spirit-the spiri

Correction.

In our paper of the 9th. we returned our thanks
to Mr.. SHAW, member of the House from this
county, for a report on the Penitentiary. Tins
was an error Strange as il may seem. we nave
not received solitary document Of any ktna
rhateper, this winter, from the gentlemln. ms Ia

We clip the above from the last weeks Eagle.
There seems to be a determined effort by the
members of the Red Lodge, in and about town,
to injure Mr., Shaw, if possible. We are not dis
posed to defend him. He belongs to the ultra
hard-money" party and it he is too honest to suit
them let the quarrel be among themselves. II Is
true that he has favored us with many documents
since he has been in the Legislature, for which we
thank him. These favors were extended to the
Eagle last winter; but since that time "change
has come DER the spirit of its dreams" and the
course OF one of its editors towards Mr.. Shaw ha
not been such as to warrant it in asking iavors o
him.
We would not have noticed this attack upol
Mr.. Shaw, had it not been that, living in demo
cratic county, we are dependent upon our Dem
ocratc friends in the Legislature for favors of thi
kind and it is the first time that we have seen
intimated tlata mans democracy is to be doubte
because he has the generosity not to send publ
documents to Wing press. We do not kno'
that the Eagle intended to doubt the honorabl
members democracy but casual reading Of tn
above article squints little III that way.
