The Subject Of The power OF Congress over
Territories, was up, in the Senate, Monday and
Tuesday. of this week. Gen. CaSs occupied both
days in the reveation of his views, and ia deti-
ming his position, upon that threatening question
He denies to Congress power to legslate for
Territories, and holds the Wilmot Proviso be
unconstitutional. inexpedient and unnecessary
and that the Ordinance Of 1887 is now without
force or obligation. ststt.gf.
The practice Of the Government, alfirmatory
of the power,-combning in its support, all the
acknowledged tests--the action Of Congress, de-
cisons of the Supreme Court, and acquiescence
by the people,-he holds to be without sanction

and political rights. -a.-..te

ture Of bis State, to vote in favor OF the Provlso

own conscience, he would do.
Some think he is bidding high for Southern
support for the Presidency. Whether his course
is dictated by such purpose, or will have tna'
effect, is beyond the vision Of my discernment oil

IRINTlNG.- ne democratic members
of the House of Representatives like
the Commissioners of Fairfield county,
think it the fundamental principle of gen.
Gine democracy to appropriate the mon
ey of the State, of both Wings and Dem
ocrats, to support their party press. The
House of Representatives, even after in,
viting bids, has given the printing to the
Statesmen office at prices which, in the
aggregate, will amount to from So 900 to
$1,000 more than would the bid Of
Messrs. Scott and Bascom.
When accused of this proAgacy, this
unwarrantable waste of the public mon
ey, the reply as usual is-"The laborer
is worth Of his hire-the Legislature has
no right to regulate printers prices"
This is all sham. If Messrs. Scott and
Bascom, who are responsible men, and
who can do the printing better than Nc,
dary, are willing to perform the House
printing at considerable lower rate, the
Legislature of the State are bound, by
duty and justice, to give it to them.
1t is useless to raise the old cry about
the reduction OF printers wages. The
matter is entirely optionary with them.
They can bid or not, as they see proper.
The Legislature of Ohio and the Com
missioners of Fairfield county are in the
habit, always, of letting other mechanic
al work to the lowest bidder. Is the
printer any better than the carpenter,
the bridge builder or the onemasoul
If there is reason in the argument, it
must apply to all these. Why make this
solitary exception2
Unfortunately for the good of the peo-
pie and the finances of the State, par.
ty press is to be supported and this must
be done at the expense of all parties,
willing or unwilling. 1t is unjust, OPP
pressive and anti democratic.
If the Commissioners of Fairfield
county have orige to build, they let it
out to the lowest responsible bidder
The Commissioners of this same county
know or have reason TO know, that by a
similar move, they could save few hun.
dred dollars each yearto the county.
But this will not answer the purposes
of party, and as our solons in Columbus,
they are whipped to the performance Of
their present course by their leaders.
We have an expose to make upon this
subject. one of these days. III anotherlet-
ter, which will make our Commissioners
wish that they had never seen Railroad
proclamation.
