SENArE.-After the usual morning business,
Mr.: WRrGHT of Clinton, offered the following
Preamble and Resolutions on the Nebraska
question:
Whereas the existance of Slavery in the Uni
ted States and its territories is great national
evil to be deplored by every good citizen.
And whereas, in the original compact, had
slavery no existed in any o. the States. such
an institution would never have been recog.
nzed or sanctioned BY our Government
And whereas. the history of our Constiu-
ton iusli6es the belle that twas fully un
derstood by all its founders, that slavery
though great evil was to remain the curse
or the boon Of such states as chose to perpetu
ate it.
And whereas, we believe our forefathers new
er intended the extension of the area, of slave.
ry, but, as just men and patriot they looked
forward to the daY when a people, who e Der.
lies had cost so dearly would cease in the face
of thOir Wanted bill of.rights, to enslaye by le-
gal sanction their fellow man.
And whereas, the institution of Slavery is |

SENArE.-After the morning business; Mr..
lawrence introduced resolution instructing
the standing committee on public works, to re-
port ~ bill for the sale OF the interest of the
State in National road, and the Maumee River
road
Upon their introduction. Mr.. Lawrence
spoke at some length and ably in support Of his
proposition. He showed from tables of receipts
and expenditures, that the Nationa, road for
the last ten years, had cost the State over one
hundred thousand dollars, and the Maumee
road bad cos: in the same way over two hun
dred thousand dollars
He was opposedto the taxation of his con-
stitnents to keep up road in another Dart of
the State. The whole business is wrong. es-
pecially atth present time, when the people
build their own roads.
He would not attack the system by which
these roads we're built That was proper at
the time but the day had gone by.
The resolutions were referred to the standing
committee of the public works.
Mr. Taylor's resolution, calling upon the
Auditor for the names Of those who had BOUGHT
the state lands at the Defiance land office, was
considered.
Mr.. Taylor said there had been outrageous
frauds in that business. Men had cut a heap
