attaching severe penalties to the taking Of
usurlous interest
On motion of Mr.. Brazee, tho committee
arose, reported progress and had leave to sit
again.
HoUsE.-Mr. Kicker introduced the fol-
lowing resolution which was agreed to:
ResolVed,5y the General assembly of the
State Of Ohio, That committee of three
on the part of the House and - on tie
part of the Senate be appointed to examine
all the books, accounts, vouchers, money,
&c, of the Treasurer of State, necessary for
thorough investigation of the business of
said office, at any time they may see proper
during the present session of the Legisla-
ture.
Mr.. Yaple introduced the following reso-
luton:
Resolved That Mr. West tho former
architect of the new State House, be en-
ployed to assist the present Legislative com
mittee appointed to investigate the affairs
connected with that building. Referred to
select committee on State Buildings.
The Speaker laid before the House a
communication from the Board of Public
Works in relation to a side cut from the
Miami and Erie Canal to the Maumee river.
Laid on the table to be printed.
Mr.. Upham offered a resolution that the
directors of the Perrysburg Toll Bridge
Company be required to report to this
House the cost of all bridges built built by the
Company across the Maumee, and the tolls
received each year. Laid on the table.
In the afternoon session the House went
into committee of the Whole, on the bill
further to amend an act entitled an act Sc
curing the benefits of the writ of habeas
corpus, in which members generally took a
part.
Mr.. Greene said he would be glad to sup
port the bill if difficulties which he thought
he saw in the execution of the writ could be
removed by amendment, or if the friends of
the bill could satisfy him those difficulties
did not really exist.
He thought it would be likely to bring in
collision writs issued by courts of equal
grade and entitled to equal respect: the off
GERS holding such writs might and probably
would, in the execution of their respective
writs, be brought in collision with each other.
There is no way provided in this bill by
which the judge issuing the Hebeas Corpus
is to learn for what cause, or by virtue of
what authority, the party named in the writ
was restrained of his or her liberty.
Committee rose and House adjourned.
SENATE, 15th.-Mr. Kelley has intro
duced bill to provide for the collection of
taxes semi-annually,i in December and March
Its passage into a law would afford consider
able relief to tax payers who havo large
amounts to raise, and work no disadvantage
to the State.
The Finance Committee has reported
important amendments to the Tax Law, de-
claring that the term @credit" should mean
the surplus after deducting the bona tide
debts owing; also removing the taxes i'm
posed on State Stock.

EE Matters begin to assume rather

N Matters begin to assume rather a
Threatening appearance towards the Kansas
Frecmen. His Excellency, President
Pierce, has Illuminated another bull, and
presenting it to Gov. Shannon, commands
him to leave for Kansas Immediately. He
is required to travel night and day, to reach,
if possible, the territory before the Free
State Legislature shall convene; he is re-
quired, should they assemble, to arrest them
as plotters of treason. Should the Free
State men offer any resistance, the U. S.
troops are to be called out to enforce his
orders with ball and bayonet. Go on, Sirs,
Pierce, Shannon, & Co, you are digging your
graves and writing the Kansas charter of
FREEDOM. God has willed it, and all
the devices of Southern Shareholders and
their Northern associates, to fetter mems
souls, only hastens their deliverance.

National Convention.

To-day the Republicans of the Northern
States will meet in informal Convention, at
Pittsburgh, to confer together and perfect
their organization, and determine upon the
time for calling a National Delegate Con
vention for the nomination of candidates for
the Presidency and Vice Presidency.
The American Party Will also meet in
Convention in Philadelphia to-day, for the
same purpose. The Pittsburgh Convention
will make no nomination, at this time, but
we arc not so sure in regard to the Phila-
delphia meeting. We believe, however,
that by far the larger portion of the Amer
lean party desire to have no nomination
made now. 1t is too long to have candi-
dates in the field. June Is soon enough, the
last of July is none too late, to put up names
and commence the Presidential contest
We hope the Republican and American
parties may be able to form an honorable
and amicable alliance, and thus unitedly
sweep the last vestige of Pierce and Doug
las Locofocoi ism from the Union.

FREEMEN, READ!

The laws of Kansas for the punishment of
offences against Slave Property, passed by
the Bogus Legislature Of that territory, COM
posed principally of Missouri Slave drivers,
are worthy of the bordor Rufians who en-
acted them. And these are some of the
laws which the President in his late special
Message to Congress, talks of enforcing by
the power of Government The following
sections quoted from an "Act to punish of
fences against Slave Property" will give the
reader some idea Of their character:
''Sec. 4. If any person shall entice, decoy
or carry out of Kansas, any slave belonging
to another with the intent to deprive the
owner thereof of such slave, he shall suffer
Death, or be imprisoned at hard labor for
not less than TEN yearsi
"Sec. 5. If any person shall assist in en-
ticing, &c, las in Sec. above) he shall suffer
Death, or be imprisoned for not less than
TEN yearsi
"Sec. 8. If any person in this territory
shall aid or harbor any escaped slave from
another State =
such person shall be punished in Ike man
aer as if such Stare had escaped from his
master IN the territory.
Sec. II. Ifany person print, write, or in
troduce into, publish or circulate, or cause
to be brought into, printed, written, or circu-
lated, or knowingly aid or assist in bringing
into, printing, publishing, Or circulating
within this territory, any book, paper, DC,
containing any statements, doctrines, DC,
calculated to produce a dissatisfaction
among the slaves of this territory-be shall
be punished 6y Imprisonment at hard labor
for not less than fire gears!
"Sec. u. If any free person by speaking
or writing, assert or maintain, that persons
hare not tie right to hold SLAVES in the ter
ritory, or shall introduce into Kansas, print,
publish, write, circulate, or cause to be in
troduced into the territory, written, printed,
published, or circulated in this territory, any
book, paper, magazine, pamphlet or eircu-
lar, containing any denial Of the rights Of
persons to hold slaves in this territory, such
PERSON SHALL BE DEEMED GULL
TY OF FELONY, AND PUNISHED

MARVELLOUS CUREs.-We have always

instructions to Gov. shannon.
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
-aaN

4
Washington, Feb. 10th, 1856.
sir-I herewith enclose to you copy Of
a proclamation by the President, dated the
18th inst, duly authenticated; and also a
copy of orders issued from the Department
Of War to Col. Sumner and Brevet Col.
Cooke, of the q. S. A. The President is
unwilling to believe that in executing your
duty as Governor of the Territory, there
will be any occasion to call in the aid Of
the q. S. troops for that purpose; and it is
enjoined upoI you to do all that can posi-
bly, be done before resorting to that meas
ure. Yet if it becomes indispenSably nee
essary to do so, in order to execute tho laws
and preserve the peace, you arc hereby au-
thorized by the President to make requisi-
tion upon the officers commanding the U. S.
military forces at Forts Leavenworth and
Riley, for such assistance as may be needed
for the above specified purpose. While
confding in the respect of citizens for the
laws, and the efficiency of those ordinarily
provided for protecting their right and prop
erty, he deems it however, not improper,
considering the peculiar situation of affairs
in the Territory of Kansas, that you should
be authorized to have the power herein con-
ferred, with view TO meet any extraordina-
ry emergency that may arise; trusting that
it will not be used till YOU shall find resort
to it unavoidable in order to insure the due
execution of the laws and to preserve the
public peace. Before actual interposition
0fthe military force on any occasion, you
will cause the proclamation of the President
with which you are herewith furnished, to
be publieally read.
81 ] am, Sir, very respectfully,
your obedient servant,
VIM. L. MARCY.
To the Hon. Wilson Shannon, Gov. Of
the Territory of Kansas.
Some pretty sharp words passed between
Senators Toucey and Wilson to-day. As
soon as the Kansas documents had been
read, pending motion to print, Senator
Toueey made a set speech in defence of the
President aYowiDg his own intentions to
support the constitution and laws, and con-
Gliding with the remark that certain Gents
in this country would lose their vocation by
the action of the President, which would
settle all difficulties in Kansas.
Mr.. Wilson rose to reply, and remarked
that if the Senator alluded TO him, and
those who acted with him, that servility to
the Executive was not their vocation, what
ever else it might be. Gen. Wilson finishes
bis speech in the morning

The Senate to-day, in Executive session,
after a very warm debate, confirmed Wilson

be brought to a focus. Its progress to a

HoUsE.-A debate arose on granting
leave to the Commissioner on Elections to
send for persons and papers in Kansas.
Mr.. Stevens remarked that Gov. Reeder
himself commissioned the members of the
Legislative Assembly which passed the law
under which Mr.. Reeder now called on the
House to investigate; consequently all fur
ther proceedings were stopped by the ofic-
ial acts Of Gov. Reeder, who was thus out
of his own mouth condemned.
Mr.. Campbell of Ohio said it was well
settled principle of law, that any statute
which may be violated by fraud, such viola
ton forms a subject for thorough investiga-
ton. On this point the House should be
satisfied, and something moro was desired,
on which to form the Judgment than mere
newspaper reports and telegraphic dis
patches.
Mr.. Hickman thought the newspaper re-
ports had been exaggerated or magnifed
on either one or the other side of the ques-
ton, according to the writer's. 1t is conse-
quently important that the investigation
should be aided by the means proposed
Mr., Reeder had done all the act of Con
gress required of him in the premises.
The question was then taken on Mr.. Ste
ven's motion, that the request of the Com
missioner on Elections be referred back to
the Committee with instructions to report
the grounds on which they ask for power to
send for persons and papers. The motion
was negative by the casting vote of the
Speaker.
Pending the consideration of the main
question on the resolution to grant to Com
miss toners power to send for persons and
papers the House adjourned.

INVITED OUT.-The Committee of Ar
rangements of the National Celebration
which comes off in Cincinnati to-day, sent
invitations to the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives, to have them join in the festiv-
tiles of the day. The Senate refused to
accept, as they thought the business of the
State required their attention now. Attempts
have been made to reconsider the vote but
so far have been Intellectual. The House
voted to accept the invitation. We opine
the Senate will do the same.
