Seats. Truth has ,riamphed-the constitution

The revolution is complete. Upon the heads
of the Wings rests all the expense, disgrace,
and lasting consequences of the four weeks
of anarchy which prevailed here this winter.
Upon them let it rest. The people will re

There is large amount of business under

COLUMBUS NEWS.

The news from Columbus is really good
andinteresting. The revolution is over, and
the Democratic members elect to the House
Of Representatives. from Hamilton, have at
last obtained their seats. The federal party
that ruled and reigned without refenee to
honesty, the constitution, or any thing else
other than to get and hold the power in their
own hands, have met with sad disappointment.
The people decided that The division of Ham
ilton county was unconstitutional, and that
decision has been nobly sustained. Pugh
and Pierce, whom the Wing members refused
to let have seats in the House, have been de
clared justly entitled to and have taken them
The people can now see who are responsible
for the outrageous conduct that prevailed to
an alarming extent at Columbus, at the con-
vening of the Legislature. Let those who
would violate the constitution and disfran
chise thousands of voters, to gain and retain
power, be held responsible for their damna-
Bile acts; and then it is, that the people will be
correctly represented their rights will be-
respected, and their instructions adhered to.
