THE LEGISLATURE OF OHIO.

We are sorry to inform our readers that We have
given to the Legislature of Ohio more credit than it
was entitled to for just comprehension of the prnci
pies of this Government, in connexion with the in
PRODUCTION of foreign influence into it through the
Intervention of Nj. KossUTH The temperate and
comparatively unexceptionable proceedings Of the
popular branch of the Legislature were expunged
on their return to the Senate, and the following
substituted, and adopted by both branches Of the
Legislature:
Resolved, That the war in which Hungary was lately
seemingly struggle IN behalf Of the great
principles which underlie the structure of Gov
ernmen INDICATED by the bloody battles Of eight years
and that cannot be Indifferent 10 their fate whatever
be the in which the struggle for their vitality
goes
Resolrcd That an attack in any form upon them is
implicitly attack upon armed Intervention against
them in effect insult that any narrowing OF
the sway of these principles is most dangerous weaken
ing of influence and power; and that all such
combinations Of kings against people should be regarded
by they were in l776; and so far circum-
stances will admit the parallel, should and will be 50
treated
Resoued That we are proud to recognise in Louis
Kossuh the constitutional Governor Hungary the he

with him, and the high he greatly respects
tender him. in behalf of two millions Of reemen hearty

We need not, we are sure, (to our readers ex-
pose the error, and the absurdity yet greater than
error of these resolutions To make them effective
it remains only TO vote out of the State Treasury

al value upon the strained professions contained in
these resolutions.
We cannot believe that these Resolutions repre-
sent the sentiment of the rejecting men belonging
to either the Wing or the Democratic party Of the
State Of Ohio. Still less, authorized by such
evidence as reaches us to presume, do they repre-
sent the sober sense Of the Northwestern tier Of
States generally.

extracts from two Illinois journals, showing how
thoroughly they understand this matter.
