This record establishes the fact that Governor
WOoD, soon as he was inducted into Office, COM
menced agitating for the amendment or repeal Of
the fugitive slave act, and that, in three months
afterwards, his and the Unions party friends in
the Legislature, or at least very large portion Of
them, adopting the Governors objections against
the law, resolved that it " ought to be Immediately
repealed" In what light this legislation was
viewed by the " Union'' about the time of its oc-
currenee is best shown by its own columns of the
lst OF April last On that day it gave publicity to
the Ohio resolutions, coupling them with medi-
tated act of the Senate Of Massachusetts, a body

an undisguised coalition between the Democrats
and Free-Soilers, who did not then, they do NOT

working together against the Wings. The follow

abolition infected those who labor under its baefu in

They forget country eedom the examples of the reyolu

to wrap the nation in the flames Of discord and civil

the people Of these deuded States do not rally to sustain the
Constitution, and to vndcate the rights guarantees the
days of peace and concord wellngh numbered. We
coDure them to in this emergency put down these
demagogues, and that they not unworthy
of the high destiny which they have been raised Shall
such madmen shall the people Of this country rule This
is the great vital question submitted the North for solution
God grant that it may be determined in spirit which
would not blush and hang their heads in shame "
Having placed before the " Union the forego-
ing facts, we now leave il to demonstrate, in the
face of them, that in Ohio the Wings alone were
the allies Of the Abolitionists, whilst the Democrats
"defied the combined power Of Wings, Free-Soil-
ers, and Aboliiionsts."
