OFFICIAL REPORTS.

1t is generally understood, we believe. that
the Ohio Legislature is In session and that
the present session commenced on the 81 day
Of January, A. D. 1854. The duties Of that
body. uLder ''the .NsV Constitution, are very
much narrowed down. Indeed we can call TO
mind but two great duties now incumbent upon
it. The first Is 10 assess t.xes, 10 supply the
txchequer and the other. 10 make appropria-
ions, whereby the funds collected into the pub
liz Golfers may be most adyantageousfy distri-
buted among the members Of ''the democratic
party" These duties performed. the Lrgisla-
live functions Of the government rest !, and the
members Of that august body may return 10
their homes and TO the bosOms Of their admi-
ring conslituency-as We have no doubt large
portion Of The members are really desirous Of
doing.
lis singular enough, thqt although the fiscal
year ends on the 18Th of November, for the
purpose Of allowing ample time for the officers
Of State to render an account Of their steward
ship land although these Reports are ndispen-
sable to an enlightened discharge Of the duty
last aforesaid by the legislature; get has the
Legislature been kept waiting for the Report Of
liO huuuOt VI OtdtS ouAli. ptCoCnb htuts
when The session Of the Legislature is drawing
10 a close, and when it ought to have been
closed. 1t was not until yesterday, the 10Th Of
March, that this document was laid upon the
tables Of members;and even now is not acce pta-
bic to the democratic public
This delay had given rise to some startling
rumors. calculated to throw suspicion upon
public functionaries. end excite alarm for the
safety Of the public treasure. We trust thai;
the document when it shall come forth TO the
public view, may dispel these unfriendly appre.
tensions. Still some explanation is due for
the extraordinary delay, by reason of which
the Legislature has been detained since the 9I
day of January. If this delay be the result of
any defect in legislation that defect should be
promptly cured by the application Of the ap-
propriate remedy. fit be the result Of mat
iention on the part of any officer or employee Of
the State they should be held to rigid account
The members of the Legislature owe it to
themselves, and to their constituents, to have
the matter Of the present unexamped delay
explained, and to see to it that the like shall
not again occur.-O. S. Journal

ANTI-NEBRAsKA MEETING.

Pursuant to previous notice, a number Of
the citizens Of Carroll Co. assembled at the
court house, on the 18th inst to express their
views on the Bill now before the House Of
Representatives, at Washington, commonly
called the Nebraska Bill The Meeting was
organized by appointing W. Butler Chairman,
and j W. Dufield, seer etary.
On motion Of W. Mccoy, a committee Of
three was appointed to report resolutions to be
acted upon by the meeting. Messrs. Mccoy,
F. S. Mexican and D. p. Mitchell were a2poin-
ted said committee, after retiring few mo-
ments. reported the following Preamble and
resolutions, which were unanimously adopted.
WaERAs. Its manifest from the ordinance Of
1887 that il was the settled policy Of the
fathers Of the Republic TO dedicate all the
national Territory to Freedom :-and where
as. a compact was made in 1920, securing
Freedom 10 the N. W, Territory of these
United States land, whereas, the comp ro-
misses Of 80, recognized the existence "fIhe
compact Of go, and whereas, the admittance
OF slavery into said territory would be apos-
tacy from the principles Of the past, betray-
al of the interest Of Liberty and treason to
future generations as well as a deep Ma.
tional disgrace and violation Of plighted
faith. Therefore,
Resolved, That we, the citizens of Carroll
ton. without distinction Of party, regard with
indignation the Bill now before Congress for
the organization OF Nebraska and Kan sas, un
der the covert design Of admitting the curse Of
slavery into the heart Of the North Amarican
Continent, by a repeal of the Missouri Compro.
mise.
RESOLVED, That the declarations Of the
trainers of the so called Nebraska Bill, that the
compromise Of 1850 was intended to apply to
the Territory embraced within the Missouri
compromise mas been proven. to be false.
Resolved. That to permit slave holders to
to carry into the territories Of the Republic,
their negroes will reverse the whole theory
and practice OF our institutions, will notioaolize
Slavery and sectionalize liberty, and thereby
exclude free laborers from an equal participa-
zion Of the national domain.
Resolved, That we call upon our represen-
tatives in Congress TO use every possible exer
ton TO defeat the Nebraska Bill now pending
before the House Of Repressn' atves, or SO TO
amend it as to MAINTAIN the original policy OF
our Government and the existing guarantees Of
freedom. & eaA
RgsoLvEr, that with shame and sorrow we
have Witnessed the passage Of Douglas Bill ty

same tihne we regard with the Warmest sent
ments of approval, the manly and patriotic
course .of both the Senators Of Ohio. s. P.

NEBRASKA in CARROLL

In another column will be found the prosee'
dings Of the And-Nebraska meeting. held IN
the Court House. in this place on the evening
Of the 18th inst There we're several present.
and good feeling prevailed till near the close
Of the meeting. After the resolutions were re-
ported, remarks we're made by several; some
for and some against the Douglas Bill. All
seemed to think that repeal Of the Missouri
compromise would be unjust and destructive !;
except Ramsey Esqr. who took high grounds
in favor Of Douglas Bill and repeal Of the COM
promise, Judge Morrison seemed to think that
the prO-slavery clause Of The bill was not as
objectionable as the appointment Of the officers
for the territory. Mr.. Brown and Rev. Mitch
ell spoke in opposition to the Bill; they made
some appropriate an convincing arguments
against the repeal Of the compromise Of 1890
&c, Alter considerable discussion the resolu-
tons we're unanimously adopted.
On motion the name Of R. J. Atkinson was
introduced as a delegate to the State conven-
ton; to this Isaac Atkinson Esq, objected, say
ing that Robert would not serve, and gave as a
reason that Epbraim r. Eckley was at the head
Of this movement. He indulgsaa,ip ,ip TRADE OF
abuse on Eekley which was dncalled for, as
nothing relative to EcLleJ was before the NICE
ting.
whereupon Roberts name was withdra Tn'
and E. R. Eckley and 1hOs. Wilson, were
appointed said delegates.
We are sorry that 6rebrand was thrown in
10 the meeting at its close. What instlgated
Atkinson 20 abuse Gen. Eckley, we knoW
not. II the squire is in favor Of Douglas. Bill
he might have expressed his .opiniOn without
speaking thus of EckleY and his friends
However, all things considered it might not
be improper to remark that the leading locofo-
cos about here are in favor Of the Nebraska
Bin,"a was well shown during the progress
Of the meeting.
This was the secret opposition OF Roberts
appointment; for Ramsey "FpCke right out in
meeting" and said Robert had made speech.
in the Senate in favor Of the Bill.
Now gentlemen, II you favor it, why not
; speak out and let the world know your posi-
ton. No dOdging on this important question,

of hard things Of our representative Eckley, he
breaks forth in the following Sc! lauding strain
1T is well known here that Atkinson is an eye.
sore to Eckley The election OF Atkinson as
President 81 The Senate was gall and wormwood
to him." "Eckley had tried repeatedly to be
elected Speaker Of the Senate. but could never
get ever respectable support in the Caucus
they had too much regard for ihei. dighity
too much self respect. to elect him to preside
over them. Hence, his envy OF Atkinson. who
was chosen and elected the first time by a large
majority" 1t is also equally well known to
Mr.. Atkinson that he, Atkinson 'is an eyesore'
to the voters Of Carroll county. How stands
this matter with Eckley and Atkinson. Akin

you not then an "eyesore" to the people Of

Now. sir, to say nothing Of the Peacock
