some amendments They proposed to strike
out the lst resolution and insert the following:
"ResOlved. by the General Assembly of the
State Of Ohio, that the people Of Ohio depre-
cate the existence of these scenes OF violence
within the State Of Pennsylvania as Disgrace
full to her citizens and injurious not only To
those upon whom the violence is done but to
all the people Of the West.
Resolved. that il is the duty of the General
Government and Of the State Of Pennsylvania,
to cause the laws and orders of their respect
i've courts to be obeyed, and that it is right and
the duty of the Congress ofthe United States
to provide for, and SECURE the safe aad speedy
transmission of the mails and to remove any IL
legal obstruction thereto"
Some other slight amendments were proposed
by the committee. The discussion was at
some length and very spirited.
The Senate, by vote of to 81, refused to
recommit.
The Senate then took recess.
