The Vote on Adjournment.
The Journal was very careful last night

voted for the resolution. This was evidently
done through caucus of the wings. Here
tofore that party aud their orgsn professed to
be opposed to an adjournment, but signs in
the political horizon aroused the Wings to the
tltoit to get rid of the Convention as soon
and as long as possible. While they had hopes
Of controlling It, they wished il to 90 on, but
when signs Of defeat began to stare them in
the face, they took another track, and threw
their votes for adjournment
The Journal also says:--
1t has seemed ~ us that much time has
been usrlessy spent The Convention has
found itself in the commencement of the tenth
week of its session. With nothing definitely
settled, and with buta part Of the reports con
sidered in the committee of the whole
And why has nothing been done simply
because the Democrats did not take hold Of
the Convention at FIRST as they should have
done. They were the friends of Convention,

/ they were the friends of new constitution
/ They should have carried out The design but
no, Whiggery the steady enemy Of the meas

concealed enemy knew it had gained point
and for "teR weeks" made use Of its clandes-
tine power TO over-reach the Democrats and
either make constitution that no radical Dem
ecrat would or could vote for, or as far as was
in their power disgrace the Convention and
Ifritter away its time. May God in his mercy
defeat their desigrs and bring good, yet, out

1 Why Is it that the Statesman feels so unea-
Isy about an adjournment? Why has il
from the frst,.endearored to throw the odium
of this act from the decided majority, and fas.
ten it upon the minority? Is there such q
load of odium about it that the Statesman is
alarmed? Is it about to sink the majority ir
the estimation of the people of 0hio2 Is it
matter that the people have any interest in
that a convention should assemble here, with
twenty Democratic majority. and, after a ses
sion of nearly ten weeks adjourn till next De
cember, without doing anything? Is this I
matter TO be dreaded by the maiority, tha
lthey should make such rapid haste to throw
it off upon the Wings?
We have said nothing about this, and prob
ably should not, if it had not been thus forced
upon US, We shall not rest under any impu
ltation, that either the length of the session o.

The Wings know where the responsibility

man finally settles down upon as the truth
The people of the State know very well, tha
the party having the majority, and decided
majority, must ''face the music" and shoulder
the responsibility of the acts done by the Con

We will venture the assertion that Medary
