Mr. Sawyer regretted very much The
course which the debate had taken.
"Mrch has been said here this morning
about the political bearing of this question
For my own part announced. in the first
week Of the session Of this Convention. that
entered i not as partisan. / came here
u Is true, decided, uncompromising and rad
ical democrat. SO far as general principles
were concerned But, sir, lett all my poll
teal aRinaositfes at home. do not question
the zeal Of the honorable gentleman who has
made us 50 long a speech this morning but
cannot, must not approve OF the consumption
OF the time Of this cony ention for such pur-
poses. The democratic party is in a majority
IA large majority, il you please-on this
floor, aud that party is responsible for this pro-
tracted session. Let me not be mlsunder-
stood. do not profess TO- be auo sno-party'
man. I have as strong attachment to my
principles as any man on the floor But
lell this Convention that our failure to finish
this werk-to present new or IN amended
Constitution, in time 10 submit the same for
Che action cfthe people this fall-will hang
like milestone around our necks
~If my friends would listen, / would, in my
eanesness on this subject, undertake to ad-
wise. W. have put two months before us,
prior TO the time fixed for the Legislature
az which our labors were to end, if the same
are to be submitted for the adoption or rciec-
ton of the people at the ensuing October
election. If we viii but pursue the course
indicate, We may yet get through, perfect the
formation of a glorious constitution, and have
it adopted by an overwhelming majority We
must have shorter speeches; we must not
think Of adiourning for any time until we have
finished our work. Il is true have advocated
and adjournment TO Cleveland. and | did so
because / believed, and still believe, that it
would facilitate, not retard, business. But
what mean is, that We must not adjourn over
until fall, or until next winter, before this new
constitution is ready for the action of the people
Let us, then, spend no more time IN discuss
ing which is the better or more Jealous demo-
crat, but attend strictly and unremittingly tc
the great work for which me are assembled" I"
We clip the above report Of Mr. Sawyer's
remarks frem the proceedingsof of the conven-
tion of June Goth. 1t viii be seen that this
gentleman comes out openly and above board,
and puts the saddle upon the right horse and
where Il properly belongs. He refers to Mr..
Robertson, who bad preceded him in a speech
of over one hour upon political topics that had
no possible connection with the subject un-
der consideration. Mr. Sawyer says, in so
many words that @the Democrats party is IN
majority on tkis floor, aud that party as re-
sponsiBte for tkis prOtractsd session. He is
clearly right The responsibility rests upon
them. They must defend themselves. If the
people of Ohio are pleased with ten weeks
session, wherein nothing is done, and with
an adjournment for 6ye months, so that an all
winter irb can he made of IL in Cincinnati then
we shall submit If they don't ike it, and are
disposed TO grumble, then Col Savyer has
correctly told them who are the guilty ones
and where to apply the lash. It is very
pleasant to have such tndou5ted democratic
authority with which to gobefore Democrats
