OHo.-The House of Representatives of this State,
on the 18th instant passed the following resolutions
relative to the fugtveslave law by of 40 to 90
Resolved by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio
That our Senators in Congress be instructed and our
Representatives requested, to all honorable
10 obtain an immediate repeal modification or amend
ment of the act of Congress, usually styled the fug-
tlve-slave law, approved September Is, 1850.
Resotred, That the Governor of the State of Ohio
be requested forward each of Senators and Re-
presenatves in Congress, copy of the above resou
ton
This is the legislature which has just elected B.
f. Wade to the United States Senate OF Judge
Wade's views upon the slavery question, the Ohio
State Joarnot-the leading whg paper of the State
g. Mr. Wade, it is true, is an anti-slavery man.
Mr. Wade disapproved of the fugitive-slave law
but who in Ohio did not? Almost the entire whg
delegation from Ohio voted against it. Mr..
Ewing voted against it. Mr.. Corwin, it was an
nounced in Congress, would have voted the same
way. Very few of the whig papers in Ohio have
hesltated to express their disapPr0batiOn Of that
g Mr.. Wade resides in part of the State where
the anti slavery feeling runs high Gss~ But the
whole State is anti-slavery, firmly, unmistakabIy
so, especially the whig of the State. A man must
be blind not to that, and foolish to deny it. kF
We have not watched Mr.. Wade's expressions to
discover whether, in some time of prevailing ex-
citement, he has not been himself excited more
than we thought the occasion required-more than
persons in other portions of the State sympathised
with. If we had watched, and had found some
such expressions, we should pay little attention to
them
This confession, be it remembered comes not
from an abolition, but whig organ.
A letter from New Han,pS hire to ba sditor Of
the New York Tribune, boasts of the recent echig
success in that State. The writer boastsfuy says:
''T The wings of New Hampshire have scorned
to follow the lead of the champions of the g Com
promise measures and not one of that band of
afiliating politicians will receive aid from them
toward gaining possession of the White House at
Washington.
I'm the late contest, the wings have not worked
half so hard their opponents have, and in an
other year the friends of Cass or Houston for the
presidency will be completely prostrated in the
Granite State. The charm of regular nominations
is broken in New Hampshire, and hereafter no
man can receive her electoral votes, who does not
favor FREEDOM more than SLAVERY, who is not OPP
posed to the fugitiye-slave law. | honestly be-
lieve VIM. H. Seward, if a candidate for the pres
idency, would carry this State by 90, 600 majority
Mr.. Webster has but few friends in the State at
this time, while General Scott is very popular, and
Cass or Houston.
OF the Senatorial election in New York. the
Herald thus speaks
1.-The telegraphic intelligence of yesterday morn
ing, announcing the election of Ex-Governor Fish
as United States Senator, startled the community
Every supposed that this important question
had been disposed of, far the legislature was
and that it would come directly before
the people at the next election. 1t seems, howev-
hot i,A,,o ,-I ,,,I
New York, have broken down opposition, carried
everything before them, and elected their candi
date as United States Senator. Some persons say
that the election is illegal and unconstitutional,
and that Governor Fish will be rejected as soon as
he seeks admission into the U. S. Senator, during
the next session. The moral effect, however, Of
the election of that gentleman, which is in favor
of increasing the influence of Seward and his par
ty of this great State, is not effected by any con-
scrupes. The result is before the world
that VIM. H. Seward is the great magician that
manages New ork, and carries its political prin-
ciples in his bag or breeches pocket The ordinary
laws of the State, the usual construction of
written constitutions, are mere gossamer threads
to politicians who believe only in higher law,
which overrules all constitutions and all written
FORMS
Various causes and influences have contribu-
ted to give this important and extraordinary trl-
umpn TO w m. IL. seward, IN the pOnIlcS OF new
York. The anti-slavery element, practically act
ing in opposition to the fugitve-slave law, passed
during the last session of Congress, is one of the
most important elements in the triumph of VIM
H. Seward in this State. Some weeks ago, it was
reported that the President and the Cabinet, at
had thrown the whole of their infu
ence in the scale in opposition to the election of
Mr.. Fish, the ground of his doubtful position
on the recent Compromise measures, and his oppo
ston to the fugitive-slave law especially. More
recent statements countenance the belief that the
President has given his influence in favor of Mr..
Fish, Notwithstanding the inference which may be
drawn from Mr.. Fish's election, and the counte
nance which it will give to the spread of anti-slav
cry feeling in the North. The President and his
Cabinet may mean well in this and other matters
but the anti-slavery agitation in this State, this
State, and in the North generally, overrules all
and all arrangements, that proceed
from Washington.
The anti-savery sentiment of the Northern
States is slowly but surely making advances in ev-
cry direction
