OF that line. IL ~ better Tor then-l SAID 10 my
self-t is better for the South that there should
be non-action as to slavery, both north and south
of the line-far better that there should be non
action both sides of the line than that there should
be action by the introduction on the one side,
without action for the admission upon the other
side Of the line. Is it not so What is there
gained by the South if the Missouri line is extend
ed to the Pacific, with the introduction of slavery
north Of it7 Why, sir, the very argument which
has been most often and most seriously urged by
the South has been this we do not want Congress
to legslate upon the subject of slavery at all you
ought not to touch it. You have no power over
it. | do not concur, as is well known from what
have said upon that question, in this view of the
subject but that is the Southern argument We
do not want you, say they, to egislate upon the
subject of slavery. But if you adopt the Missouri
line, and thus interdct slavery north of that line,
you do legislate upon the subject of slavery, and
you legisate for its restriction without CORES
ponding equivalent of legislation south of that
line for is admission for insist that ii there be
legislation interdicting slavery north OF the line,
then the principles of equality would require that
there should be legislation admitting slavery south
of the line.
Sir, have said that I never could vote for il
myself and repeat that | never can, and never
will vote, and no earthly power will ever make me
vote, to spread slavery over territory where it
does not exist. Still, if there be majority who
are for interdicitpg slavery north Of the line,
there ought to be majority, II justice is done to
the South to admit slavery south Of the line,
And if there be majority to accomplish both of
these purposes, although cannot concur in their
action, shall be one Of the last to create any
disturbance; shall be one Of the first to ac-
quiesce in that legislation, although tbs contrary
to my own judgment and to my own conscience

Co1uMBus, May 81. 1850.


Informed you in my letter Of last eves
ming that another discussion had adsrrung up
on the subject Of annual or biennial ses.
sions Of the Legislature. Il was resumed
this morning ,snd we bpd four long speech
es on tho subject fromfour Of the nblest
mon in the convention, two on each sideof
the question. II was decidedly tie discus.
sion OF the session, notwithstanding that,
very few new points in the arguments
werc adduced
Mr.. Stnnbery having the floor from yes.
terday he proceeded with most excellent
and able argument in favor Of annual ses~
sions. The first strong point in his argus
ment was that in consequence of having
annual sessions, the Legislature Of last win
ter snved. or rather made, to the State up
wards Of two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars; and that, too, by putting upon the
statute book a law Of not more than ten or
fifteen lines, which could not hive been
doue if we had had biennial sessions, and
one should not have happened last winter.s
A law was passed in l849, directing our
Fund Commissioners to sell a certain 1
amount Of Stute stocks, in certain man
ner, but when they came to offer those
stocks in the market they could not selIi
them under the operations of that law, nf
q larger premium than FIVE per cent, and
consequently they applied to the last leg-
lslature Tor different law, which was pass
ed, and which enabled them 10 realize
speculation IN the sale Of stocks, to the
amount of $250,000, sufficient amount
topay the expenses of three sessions of the
legislature, Those stocks were obliged to
be sold before the close Of the year 1850,
and consequently a biennial session would
not, perhaps, have come at the proper
time. And 80 it would be with many bad
laws that might be enacted and should be-
repealed in less time than two years.
Mr.. Reemelin also spoke again in favor
of annual sessions, making most excel
lent argument. Though he was freqaent-,
ly interrupted by what he called the "un-,
easy biennials," he bore himself through
most galluntly, answering every question
in the "twinkling of an eye," and at the
same timo making happy illustration cpf
of il in favor Of his own arguments. ~
Messrs. Ranny and Kirkwood spoke on
the biennial side. They are both able
men, and made ingenious arguments, but
they seemed to understand that they bad
powerful arguments to overthrow, and
they.certainly did the best that could be
done for their cause. But they have the
majority with them, and | apprehend that
oil the eloquence of a Cicero, or of all tho
! gre men that ever lived, could il be bro't
TO life and utternnce in this convention,
could not change that determined and set
tied opinion. The question was again de-
cided in favor of biennial sessions by an
overwhelming majority.
Progress was made into the report this
afternoon, as far as the 3lst section, with
out making any material amendments
There are nine more sections to 20 over.
The standing committee on the execu-
tive department made their report to-day,
which was laid on the table to be printed.
Yours, &C., ZED.

CoLUMBus, June J.

There was only forenoon session To-
day. This morning Mr.. Perkins present.
ed the petition of citizens of Trumbull
county, asking that the Legislature be re-
qured to prohibit the sale Of intoxicating
drinks.
The Committee Of the Whole then re-
sumed the consideration Of the Report Of
the Legislative Committee, and discussed,
amended, and adopted nine lines Of il Be-
fore tho adjournment, leaving off in the Z
35th section. Only one section was pas
sed over without discussion, and il prohib-
its the sale of lottery tickets. ys
The 32d section provided that no ap-
pointing power phateper, should ever be
vested in the General Assembly, twas
amended so that each body should have tho
power TO appoint or elect its own officers,
and also U. s. Senators.
Sec. 33 provided that no person WIN
should fight duel should be eligible to IN
any Office underth authority Of this State.
Some members were in favor Of striking
out tho whole section, contendine that Il
was equivalent 10 libel or d stigma Upon
the morality and christian virtues Of iEs
good people Of Ohio, while oiAets wanted
Il stricken out, because they Thought that il
was sometimes necessary for a rsan 10
fight TO maintain his honor, and that hon
orable men had fought dusls, and were
still capable and able to hold Office. But
neither Of these arguments prevailed, ior|
the section was amended 90 as to be much
stronger in its terms, and was adopted Ia
these wordss "No person who shnll heras
after send, accept, or carry d challenge q
fight a duel, or assist in the same as "a.
cond, or otherwise, shall be eligible or ca
prble Of holding any Office Of trust, honor
or profit. NJ "
The 35tb section reads as follows The
