AID TO KANSAS EMIGRATION.
Speech of Gov. Chase, of 0hio-The Jefferson Pro-
viso or Shapes Rifles.

AT a recent meeting in aid Of Kansas Emf
grafton, held in the City Hall at Columbus,
Governor Chase ID reported to have spoken sub
stantially as follows:
He stated, that although he was not one of
those who had promised to speak at the meet
ing, and did not come there for that purpose,
yet he was perfectly willing to give it what
countenance he could. After endorsing the
integrity and truthfulness of Mr. Wood, whom
he knew personally, he said the foray against
Kansas was evidently not ended-only sus-
pended for time. The intention is to renew
it in the spring, in proof of which he cited the
recommendation of Senator Brown, of MISSISSIPPI
pi, that tax of one dollar per head be levied
upon all the slaves in the State to aid in sending
armed men with their slaves into that Territory
next spring, and it was seriously entertained by
the Legislature of that State.
At the time of the passage of the Nebraska
Kansas bill, its friends claimed that it guaran-
tied to the settlers of those Territories the right
to institute Just such Governments as they
chose. We knew and said that was not SO, and
what we then said is now verified by the armed
mob of non-residents who have attempted to
force upon them laws to which they are not
willing to submit; and now not only Missouri,
but the whole South, are making preparations
to send armed forces there, to prevent the set
tiers of Kansas from that right of popular
soyereignty" said to have been guaranteed to
them by the Kansas bill.
He declared his great preference for the Will
mot and Jefferson proviso. That did secure
this Territory to Freedom forever, and under
;ts benign influence great States have been built
mn peaceably and quietly, and 80 would the
ct.te IS .nsss have arisen under its influence.
But Of that We have been defrauded, and moth.

THE VOICE OF OHIO.


The following resolutions have passed the
Ohio Assembly:
Whereas the original policy of our country
contemplated no extension of Slavery beyond
the limits of slave States, and no increase of
the number of such States; and whereas ex.
perience has sufficiently proved that every de-
parture from that policy has been productive
of evil, and of evil only; and whereas, by the
Compromise, the whole question of Slavery, In
its relations to the Union, the States, and the
Territories, has been re-opened and whereas
the people of Kansas, deprived of the protec-
ton of that prohibition, and despoiled by armed
invasion of their undoubted right to elect their
own Representatives, have been compelled to
choose between the alternatives of resort to the
inherent right of every community. in the
absence of valid laws, to provide for its own
safety and good order, or submission to the
unauthorized edicts of pretended Legislature,
seeking to compel the admission of Slavery BY
appointing its own creatures to Territorial of.
hces, whether executive or judicial, and by i'm
posing such restrictions on the right of suffrage
k future elections as will exclude the opponents
of Slavery from the polls and whereas the
people OF Kansas, properly adopting the former,
have proceeded to elect Delegate to Congress,
and to form for themselves State Constitution,
with view to application for admission into
the Union; and whereas, in the judgment of
this General Assembly, it is the duty of the
Federal Government, and of the people of the
several States, to unite their efforts to save the
Territory of Kansas from the renewal of civil
tumult and from the further shedding of blood /:

Resolved, That our Senators in Congress be
instructed, and our Representatives requested,
to oppose all acts and measures which shall
tend to recognise as legal and binding any of
the acts of the pretended Legislature of Kan

RESOLVED, That our Senators in Congress be
instructed, and our Representatives requested,
to use their best endeavors for the immediate
passage of an act of Congress admitting Kan
sas into the Union as free State, with such
limitation of boundaries as by Congress shall
be deemed advisable; and in case Congress
shall not consent to such admission, then to
use their best endeavors to secure the passage
of acts enabling the people of the Territory to
elect their own Governor and other officers,
and fully protect them in the exercise of the
elective franchise.
AdOpted-yeas 50, nays 27.1
Resotred, That our Senators in Congress be
further instructed, and our Representatives re-
quested, to use their best endeavors to secure
the passage of law prohibiting Slavery in the
Territories of Kansas and Nebraska, and all
territory embraced by the Missouri Com
promise, and re- establishing the original Amer
lean policy, as declared in the regulation pro.
posed by Thomas Jefferson in 1884, for the ex-
clusion of Slavery from all territory ceded, or
to be ceded, and of such other laws as shall
best fulfil the high duty repeatedly acknowl-
edged by the people of Ohio, of "using all the
power clearly given by the terms of the nation
al compact to prevent the increase, to mitigate,
and finally eradicate, the evil of Slavery, with
out encroaching upon or in any way legislating
upon the right of each State to adopt and mod
ify its own municipal laws, to regulate its own
internal affairs, and to hold and maintain its
equal and Independent sovereignty with each
and every other State"
Adopted-yeas CT, nays 81.
These resolutions unquestionably express the
real sentiments of a large majority of the people
of Ohio. :.

These figures exhibit the fact that the popula-
ton is fast approaching a stand-stiil, which
seems to be one of the natural and legitimate
consequences of Slavery. From 1920 till 1880,
the population increased about $50 per cent. !;
from 1880 till 1910, about 80 per cent; from
1910 till 1850, about 30 per cent. from 1871
till 1855, little more than per cent. The
total population will scarcely reach sOo,Ooo IN

POPULATION OF ALABAMA.

The returns of the census of Alabama, for
1855, have recently been published, and reveal
some facts which are worthy of consideration.
This State, occupying position between Geor
gia and Louisiana, and watered by fine naviga-
Bile rivers should, one would naturally think, in
crease in wealth and population as fast IS any
other State in the Confederscy. 1t may be said
garded by the lovers of the peculiar institution
as one of the most favored spots on the surface
of the earth. And so it is, as far as regards the
bounties of nature; but man often converts the
blessings which she bestows upon him into q
curse. To give our readers an ineligible view
of the progress of Alabama in population, we
present the following table, which we have COM
piled from the census reports:
