and declaring that the people OF Ohio
are able, ready and willing To lend their
assistance 10 the cause. were passed.
They ATE now. together with another
batch taken from the LncoFuco resolutions
of the eighth, in the hands of commit.
tee in the House. We extract nothing
elee of interest or importance from the
Senate proceedings, save that Col Me
dill has taken his seat as President.
10 the House. early in the session, a
resolution was passed aulholizing the
Clerk TO get the printing done for the
present, at prices not To exceed those
contracted for when the Constitutional
provision shall be carried into effect and
the printing let out to the lowest bidder.
The Clerk, we believe. said that he could
not get it under the resolution. This re.
turn of the Clerk was faIsifed by an Of
fer from Messrs Scott and Basc0m, they
agreeing to give good security for its
proper performance.
The honest taxpayer would here OBJ,
serve-th'y got it Of course. Not by
considerable. The resolution was re
considered and the Clerk authorized to
get it done at Medary's own prices and
by him. Members upon the Locofoco
side of The House acknowledged that
this was their object,
1t strikes US that this is a strange wav
Of carrying out the provisions" Of the
new Constitution. The great argument.
during the last campaign was that this
instrument should be placec "n the
hands of its friends" The people com
piled with this request. aud almost the
first act of ilssupporleTs is to violate one Of
its provisions in order tn put few dol
lars of the peoples money into the pock
cts of Mr. Medary. II this is what we
are to expect. the declaration Of one of
the delegates to tho Locofoco Conven.
tiOn is mure than half rue-''ihat the par
~ regardsConstitutions only when it suits
them" The people ofOhio, who placed
these men in power, should watch them.
he House has d)ne nothing else of
interest. Both branches adjourned over
Oh Thursday and Friday last To accom-
modate the members who wished to at
, end the Locofoco Convention.
a Ldter.-A bill has been presented. re-
. quiring railroad companies To fence up
their roads and To otherwise prevent per.
sons and cattle from travelling thereon
On the Cd day after the new Consti,u
ton went into effect. an effort was made
to amend it in relation to the postage oI
members Medary is Of opinion that
postage can be paid by the State without
an amendment. Constitutions are Of ar
a easy texture with him. The people ol
Ohio must watch the movements and see
how much this "brag instrument" il
:, worth.
The Kossuth resolutions will pass the
n House without the blood aud thunder
