D1sUNIoS PETITIoN.-The editor Of the
Cleveland Herald writing from Columbus
on the Sth says:
"This has been the talking forenoon in
the House. A petition was presented from
a knot of anti-slavery Garrisonians in Salem,
praying that Ohio might peaceably seeede
from the Union, and asking that their petit
ton might be referred to committee, and
that they might be heard by counsel before
the House. Of course the Union-savers
par excellence became exceedingly patriotic.
A motion to lay on the table was lost, yeas
40, nays 81. Mr.. Sawyer moved to reject
tho petition
How this petition should be disposed Of
occupied the attention of the House until
adjournment. In the afternoon session the
petition again came up and consumed much
time, but was finally @refered to Committee
on Federal Relations with instructions to
vote against its prayer, by yeas 50, nays, Al
the nays desiring to reject it without refer
ence. Mr.. Hutcheson, of Madison, from
the Committee, soon reported that the
prayer of the petitioners ought not to be
granted, which was agreed to without dis
sent. Thus ended a useless @tempest in a
teapot" save that it settled the fact that the
right of the people to be heard by petition
is not denied by the present House"
On the 9th the petition was presented to
the Senate, when it was disposed of much
sooner than in the House. Several of the
Senators spoke briefly on the matter Mr..
Taylor, of Geauga, said he was in favor of
referring, and had no doubt the Committee
would make such report as would receive
the unanimous concurrence of the Senate.
Motion to lay on table lost, yeas II, nays

Our columns show that the MissOurians have
guilty of few "inf0rmdlites" in Kansas. Affairs
to be rapidly tending from bad to in that Ter
ritory.-DenOerdt.
If the above had been said by any one
else than Locofoco editor, it would have
sounded well enough; but as it is it must
crate harshly upon the ears Of all who have
the least regard for consistency. The idea
of strong exponent of party speaking in
depreciation of results which naturally and
necessarily follow the acts of such party, and
at the same time, on the other hand, indus
triously striving to excel all cotemporaries
in praises of the uprightness, and boasts of
the exceeding purity of the same party, is
certainly the perfection of Inconsistency and
absurdity. Is not the editor of the Demo
crat yet satisfied with his attempts to carry
water on both shoulders, that he still per-
sists in his efforts. Surely the motive of
patronage must be strong, if it so easily over
como that of principle. How much more
manly and independent would it be to speak
out the honest convictions of his mind, re-
gardless of the winnings of the political
whiffets which continually harrass him, and
contend determinedly for the position thus
assumed, than to bow suhmissively before
the inquisition instituted by Young Ameri-
ca! We leave brother Flaugher to his own
thoughts and reflections, for in his present
state of humiliation, they must be his most
serious upbraiders.

The Georgia Fire-Eaters.

A short time since the Legislature of
Vermont passed some resolutions in regard
to Kansas matters, and instructed their Gov
ernor to transmit a copy of them to the
Governor of Georgia. Upon receiving them
the chivalric Georgia Governor, Herschell
V. johnson, wakes wroth and says great
many naughty things, unbecoming Gov
ernor, and forthwith dispatches the resolu-
tions with an infamatory message to the
Legislature. The scene there enacted,
when tho resolutions were read, beggars
description. Every man expressed the ut
most contempt and loathing for this string
of insulting fslsehoods and for their authors,
The only point upon which they were not
agreed was what disposition should be made
of them.
Mr.. Lewis of Green, moved to refer them
to the Committee on the State of the Re
public.
Mr. Jones of Morgan, opposed, and offer
ed a resolution that the Governor transmit
to the Governor of Vermont, with request
to lay the same before the Legislature of
said State, the resolves of the Georgia Con-
vention of 1850, and to inclose within the
same leaden bullet.
Mr.. Terhune said he would 90 for that if
they would send powder with it.
Mr.. Jones-And coil of rope.
Mr.. Terhune-"Hanging is too good for
traitors" He was opposed to referring
these Vermont resolutions to the Commit
tee on the State of the Republic
Words were useless. The time for action
had come. He, for one, was prepared to
act, and he hoped they would not be bound
in the form of a committee.
Mr.. Crook Chairman of the Committee,
assured the gentleman from Floyed that
the Committee had as much contempt for
these things as he, and that some active in
dication of that would be recommended by
them.
Mr.. Smith of Union offered the following
resolutions, tho reading of which was re-
ceived with applause by the House:
Resolued, By the General Assembly of
the State of Georgia, that his Exccllency
the Governor be, and is hereby requested to
transmit the Vermont resolutions forthwith
to the deep, dark and fetid sink of social and
political iniquity from whence they eminat-
ed, with the following unequivocal declara-
ton inscribed thereon:
Resolved, That Georgia, standing on her
constitutional palladium, heeds not the ma
MAC rawlings of hell-born fanaticism, nor
stoops from her lofty position to hold terms
with perjurcd traitors.
After some further discussion, the motion
to refer prevailed. A motion was then
made to print 500 copies of the Governors
Message, accompanying these resolutions,
and Vermont resolves. The House would
not for moment entertain the idea of print
ing these insults, but after some further de-
bate 100 copies of the Message were ordered
to be printed.
In the Senate the following resolution
was offered:
Resolped, That his Excellency Presi-
dent Pierce be requested to employ a
sufficient number of fable-bodicd Irishmen to
proceed to the State of Vermont, and to dig
ditch around the limits of the same, and
to float "the thing into the Atlantic
