For the National Era.
PROGRESS OF QUA CAUSE IN OHIO.

See how our ranks with ueemcn NIL.
FRIEND BAILEY. A short time since sent
you letter, reporting the aspects of our cause
since the passage of the Kansas and Nebraska
bill, in the Democratic county Of Holmes,
which, to that party in Ohio, has been what
New Hampshire was in the Union. Well,
what said of that county appears TO be
equally the case in other sections of the State.
la our STATE politics, Ohio may or may not be
thoroughly Democratic or anti-Bank, &o.;
but in National Democracy as set forth in
the Pro-Slavery features of that bill, great
majority of the people are anything but ortho-
doS, or am greatly mistaken; and have en-
deayored to ascertain the truth and think |
have had an excellent opportunity, 80 far as
have been. The combined efforts Of all the
political and theological tools Of slave-breeders
can no longer suppress the indignation of the
people at the insolent aggreesions Of the latter,
and the AFFECT servility of the former to their
interests Thank Heaven, our Churches are
becoming more aroused than ever on the sub
jet, and, when they do their duty, Slavery will
be doomed institution, notwithstanding the
modern "Pricsts and Levites,p lwho formerly
controlled them almost as much as the Pope
and bishops of the Roman Catholic Church
have it'll in regard to the down-troddeu slave,
have faithfully followed the example Of their
illustrious predece ssors, 10 the case OF the man
"who fell among thieves"
Never was the progress Of Anti-Slavery SEN
timent 30 rapid and strong in Ohio as now,
although there is not 20 much noisy excitement
on the subject; just as streams when small,
near their sources frequently make more noise
than when they become much deeper, and
wider, and stronger For example, take my
own county, (Cuyahoga) now represented in
Congress by the Hon. Edward Wade. Ten
years ago, my township (which was about q
fair sample Of the whole county, gave, think,
but fUe AntiSlavery votes out of about 200.
BY degrees we gained, till, In the county, not
withstauding repeated asuranceJ from our
Hunker friends that we wero "throwing our
votes away we gave our present Representa-
tive handsome majority over either of the
other party candidates; and the next time, IL he
in willing to 20 TO Congress land If he is not, IL
will not make any difference, for he must 20, J
we will give him majority over all other
candidates should there be any in opposition to
him. And as great revolution as has been 40
complished in Coyahoga, only af.cr o ten years
war, viii be accomplished in many other coun-
ties in far less time, and soen Ohio will be as
thoroughly Anti Slavery as need be. Perhaps
nothing short Of the vilauous attempt 10 ex-
tend or permit Slavery in Kansas and Nebras-
ka would have aroused the people of the free
States to sense Of their duty and, If so, for
one, shall not regret its being made, as it is
perhaps quito as we'll TO meet the issue, that
IL sure to como some time, between Freedom
and Slavery, now as ever; and il, on account
Of the result, the South, or some other portions
OF it should conclude to leave the Union, the
people Of the North will generally adopt the
sentiment Of one Of my neigbbors, who told
another, who was talking Of going to Illinois

aosalth objects 70 placing ten millions at the
discretionary use Of the President and says:
aThc Constitution does not allow the Pfesi-
dent 20 declare war, nor can Congress author
ize him to do so. His orders to Capt Hollins
in tho Greytown affair, show how UNANIMOUSLY
he and bis managers can disregard the Consti-
tuition, and usurp power in fashion and spirit
which would change tho Government to an
irresponsible despotism."
