Il would seem from the dOings Of the Ohio
Legislature that we have as yet not passed
drought the strange times. that have so long
been upon US. Two sessions of the Ohio Leg
islaturs have passed away, under the new Con-
stitutiOn, and all the while strange sights were
to be seen under the management and control
Of the progressive Democracy.
What taxpayer, Of the county OF CARROLL
that did not hear it preached from every Demo-
crsAic stump, that the new Constitution would
work out the peoples interest, by reduction
of the government expenses. Have you not
heard them declare that it would, il adopted,
cut off the heavy expense of Legislative pos
tage, and thereby save eighteen or twenty
thousand dollars annually to the people! Did
not ths last Legislature, under the old Consti-
tuition, serve their constituents for three dollars
per day ? Was it not among the first acts OF
the first Locofoco Legislature. under the new
Consultation, to raise their wages from that Of
three dollars To four dollars per day; and that,
:oo for the avOwed purpose as Senator Akin
son has lately stated in the Senate Chamber,
OF enabling members to pay postage right in
the faceof the 3ist section of the End Article
of the Constitution, which reads as follows:
"That the members Of the General Assem-
bly shall receive a fxed compensation, to be
prescribed by law, md no othsr dltoUOnce or per-
auisiles, either in payment Of postage or other
wiss; and no change in their compensation shall
take effect during their term of Office"
But majority Of the Judiciary committee o.
ths present House Of Representatives have, not

Immediately after the organization Of the
Legislature Mr.. Townshend o.. the Senate Of
fered resolution, which was unanimously pas.
ssd, to admit Mr.. Day. Editor OF the Alisnsd
American, at Cleveland, as Reporter for that
paper, within the Bar Of the Senate Hall.
Mr.. Day is q eOlOred man, in the general &C
seplatiOn Of that term, though he is nearer
SAas than Mack, and accordingly is a regular
voter.
He is Of liberal education, respectable and
talented man and represented as being unassu-
ning and gentlemanly in his department.
His paper is devoted to the elevation Of the
eOlOred race, though not an abolition organ nor
is he identified with that party or any other
His paper thus far has been conducted with
moderation and prudence, as well as ability.
A few days since. Mr.. Day appeared within
the Bar Of the Senate as reporter for his paper
as authorised BY the resolution above referred
70.
He dsmeaned himself properly; treating the
members with becoming respect, and attend
ing to his own business.
On the following day, Anderson. OF Law
renee introduced resolution TO rescind the
vote BY which Mr.. Day was admitted, this was
succeeded by long preamble by way Of
amendment, offered by Steedmsn, Of Lucas, the
design Of which wls TO expel Day from the
Senate, upon this, sprang up slight breeze, and
the resolution was finally Lid on the table; as
Mr.. Townshend who made the motion to admit
Day, was absent thus ended the affair that
day.
On the following day, however, Mr.. Stokes
moved to take up the resolution, expelling Day
as reporter from the Senate, which was taken
up by vote OIL II to 8; Steedman on leave
withdrew his preamble. After considerable
discussion by several Of the members,
the resolution finally passed by vote
of yeas IL, Gays 10; Morris, Of MahOning,
and Williams, Of Columbiana, refused to vote,
and we're excused by a vote Of lS to 0, $50
Day was expelled. The same body which, but
a few days before, by their unanimous vote,
admitted Mr.. Day within their bar, as repor-
ter, summariy and abruptly, exPe He'd him
simply because bis skin was shade darker
than theirs. Surely tais was doing small
business on large scale.
The question arises to whom shall this out
rageous conduct be attributed We answer.
70 the Locofocos and Che record will bear us
out. They are LOcofOcOs who engaged in it,
and they are responsible.
Was the eloquent voice Of that distinguished
patriot from our district, who but few years
ago fought SO bravely, in this county, for a
coalition Of the Locofoco and Freesoil parties,
heard prOeIaiming in favor of liberty and JUS
tice, in this struggle? Verify nay! Where
