come to hand is very limited, but we give our

CLEAN,
DIsuSIoy.
Senator Brown, from Portage county, was some
time since appointed a Committee of one. to report
on sundry petitions asking for a dissolution of the
Union in consequence of its support Of Slavery.
Mr.. Brown was appointed to the same service
last year and very promptly reported, without
leaving the hall against the prayers Of the petition.
ers. This year the Committee Of ono seems 70
have acted with much mure deliberation. but. TO-
have come TO tho same conclusion. Not having
seen the report, we cannot speak Of it's character.
All We know of it is contained in the following
paragraph from the Columbus Correspondent OF
the Clereland Leader:
at [the report is spoken of as a most scathinS
document, walking into tho ranks Of the pro-
slavery, sham Democratic disuniunists without.
ceremony, dealing vigorous blows without mercy
and fastening the charge of disunion. by reference
to documents, speeches and addresses, where it-
belongs. ThereupUn q discussion sprang up. in
which Holmes and Phelps came to the rescue Of
their Southern friends, and Griswold, Kelly aud
Brand eIcoriated them with u will"
Since the above was.prepared, we find tho fol-
lowing in the Cincinnati Gazette Of the % inst:
CoLUNBUs, March 81. NJ.
Mr.. Brown, the Select Committee TO whom have
been referred several petitions for the dissolution
of the Union, coming from certain mistaken en-
thusiasts, near and about Salem, in Culumbiana,
county yesterday laid before the Senate hi. report
upon the subject. 1t is an admirable docunens-
While it deprecates any attempt to dissolve the
Union, it shows convincingly that shere is far less
danger to the confederacy in the mild madness of
Garrisonian zealots, who neither fight nor vote,
than in the violence, Iuffanism, and avowe3 dis
unionisn of tho Democratic party at she South,
and the unrebuking silence Of that organization
at the North. The report grouped together many
startling facts in relation to the ~factious, disunion
sentiment of the supporters Of James Buchanan;
and exhibited the base hypocricy Of their pretend
ed loyalty to the Union Of these States. In
conclusion, Mr.. Brown offered tho following rss-
olution
Resolred by the Senate of Ohio, That We look
with pain and regret upon any attempt to destroy
the Union, whether made by Garrisonians. Dsme.
Gratis, or others.
Col. Holmes said he would vote for this resolu-
ton if it were amended SO as to read, whether
made by Garrisonians, Democrats. Republicans. or
others"
Mr.. Griswold did not see the ~propristy of the
amendment. Nothing but affection and fidelity to
the Union had ever been breathed by the Repub-
lican party, and it was idle to class it with those
from whom danger was npprehended.
Mr., Phelps denied that the d mocratic party
1 was false to the Union. Mr.. Brown had collected
$ the rawlings of freeaters, and he had no sympa.
thy with fire eaters, North or South. Doubtless,
if he would take the time. he could find sentiments
equally seditious in Republican newspapers and
{ speeches. 1t was an insult to class Democrats
d with Garrisonians. Il think it was; and a res0-
b luton Of respectful apology ought to DO rendered
to the GarrisOninus.)
Mr.. Brown defed Mr.. Phelps to paint to a ain.
! gle expression in favor Of disunion in all the Re-
1 publican papers and speeches Of the last cam.
y paign.
4 Mr.. Phelps replied that this was not the time
- nor place to discuss these matters.
Col. Homes, on the assurance of Mr.. Brown that
d he would himself amend the resolution as follows.
e withdrew bis amendment, and it was passed 10
this shape:
r Resoloed By tie Senate of Ohio. That we look with
, pain and regret upon any attempt to destroy the
, Union, by whomsoever made.
! Tho vote in favor of this resolution was unani-
nous, and the whole trouble ended with ordering
! the report to be printed in the appendix to tho
a Senate Journal. and tn" usual number of copies
to he printed for the Senators besides. But il was
4 l%aughable to witness the surprise, not to say con-
sternation. of the Democratic Senators on hear
70 ing their virtuous aud loyal Locofoco party proven
a mere band of organized disunionists and fnd.
