COLUMBUS, Jan. 9Th, 1857.

Being few, minutes too late for the cars
on Saturday night. we were compelled to
remain in Delaware until l2 o'clock, M,
Monday, and Consequently arrived at Co.
lumbus toolat to participate in the open
ing of the Legislature. Both houses met
in the forenoon, heard the Governors Mes
sage, and adjourned until P. NJ, on
Wednesday, in order to give the Commit
tee Of Arrangements who have in charge
the Festival, time and opportunity to pre-
pare for the same.
In the House, the two new members
one in place of Sawyer, of Auglaize, re-
signed, the other in place of johnson, of
Cuyahoga, deceased-were sworn in.
The city is crowded with visitors, who
are here to attend the Festival tomorrow
night. twill be a grand affair. Nothing
else is talked of at present, But of, this,
more anon. "a chiefs amang 'em taking
notes, an faith he'll prent EN-"
We strolled into the offices in the new
State House this afternoon, having little
business with. the Auditor. They seem
we'll arranged, large, comfortable, and
we'll furnished The clerks seem delighted
with the change. By the way; we seldom
meet with a more pleasant and agreeable
set of men than those now employed il
these ofices-at least we haEe 50 iOunt
them, so far as we have had anything tt
do with them. A case in point. This
afternoon, we had occasion to consult then
in reference to little matter for two Of ou
constituents, who had lost their deeds fo
portions of school and ministerial lands
Messrs. Cole and Wetmore spent fully al
hour in explaining the laws on the subject
consulting the statutes, and referring t
their records, without SO much as frowl
orthe least exhibition of impatience. Whel
asked what fees they received for such ser
! vices as were desired, they replied that j
was not customary to make any charge a
all, and they promised to attend to tn
matter for us Immediately. Everywher
about the public offices we met pleasan
faces, and hearty, cheerful greetings. A
the Hotels, on ihe streets, in fact, every
where, smiling faces and welcome hand
, saluted us. Never have we been received
more cordially. The members are nearlv
all here, in fine health and excellent spirits
But one death has occurred in the bod,
since our last meeting-Mr. Johnson, 0
! Cuyahoga--aD excellent man, and faith
full member.
:. AT present we are stopping at tn
American House," and have for room
mate a crazy man, or rather monomaniac
He is an old man, well educated, and ha
been formerly possessed of fine property
He has now suit pending inthe Suprem
Court, which brings him to Columbus
He is perfectly harmless and inofensive
: and very few seem to be aware of his insan
! ity. The landlord said he WAS an old &C

honest men. In the matter Of character
and moral standing, they have nothing to
lose; while in the building up Of great
market for their human herds, and incrsAs-
ing their political ascendancy in the Ma,
tional Government, they have every thing
to gain. Alreadya by-word and Kissing
throughout civilization, it is morally GER
tain that they cannot long retain their
Northern doughfaces in power, and they
must, therefore, seize upon the U. s. Sen
ate, by making new Slave States, as fast
as their tools from the North are driven
out. 1t is, therefore, simply question Of
means with them. IF fraud succeeds,
well, but if not, then war.
1t is we'll known that the Free State
men, who, according 10 Governor Geary,
comprise four-fifths of the people Of tho
Territory, are totally disfranchsed. Not
one of them can vote at any election for
any office in the Territory, without for
swearing his manhood, and acknowledge
ing himself avillain. A pretended Leg
islature, elected under these laws by the
Border Rufians in October last, with .
Senate, elected two years ago by Nilsson
rians, meet early in the present month
Now we predict their programme will BE-
about this: This miserable, fraudulent
Legislature, will pass an act authorizing
the election Of a convention, to form aStats
Constitution. AS the Free State men are
disfranchised, the delegates will, Of course.
be of the most ultra pIo-slavery character.
A Constitution already formed by Atchi-
son, Stringfellow & Co., will be adopted,
and without submitting it to the people,
will be sent off 10 Washington, with de-
mand to be admitted into the Union as .
Slave State. This we shall expect to see
within the next sixty days, unless it is
clearly ascertained that the present House
of Representatives in Congress, cannot be
drilled to register the mandate. In that
case the application will be postponed un-
: til the next session, when the Shareholders
and doughfaces will have working ma
, jority. This is certainly their most feast
BILE plan Of operations, and much more
> likely to succeed than open warfare. But
: il it should fail, then look out for a re-
newal of bloodshed. Now with all the fine
things said about the peace in Kansas, We
| record the foregoing prediction as our de-
Y liberate opinion, and ask our readers to re-
member it.
But what then? Will Kansas be deliv-
, cred over to the blighting curse of porpst-
e ual slavery? We answer, no! A thous-
e and times no! But We have neither time
nor room this week, to give our views fur
!. ther We will probably refer to this SUBJ
ect again.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

The recent foreign news is interesting.
A new Conference is to be held at Paris,
rendered necessary by the misunderstand-
ing or mic-intcrpretation of one of the ar
nr!cs ot Tie treaty Of peace between Russia
Meigs County telegraph. [volume] (Pomeroy [Ohio]) 1848-1859, 1857-01-13


The facts exhibit in clear light the i'm
portance Of guarding against expenditures
beyond appropriations. The Constitution
permits no debt to be contracted, on be-
half Of the Stale, without express legisla-
tive warrant. Itrestricts the total amount
of all Indebtedness, to supply all deficits
and failures in revenue or expenses not
otherwise provided for, to the sum of $780,
900. AS security against unauthorized
debts, it expressly declares that no money
shall be paid on any claim, the subject
matter of which shall not have been pro-
videG for by existing law, unless allowed
by two-thirds of the members elected to
each branch of the General Assembly
Experience has demonstrated that even
these provisions are not adequate guaran-
tees against the unauthorized contracting
of debts within single biennial period to
an amount exceeding three -fourths of the
total indebtedness which can be incurred
for such purposes by the Legislature itself.
1t is proper to say here, however, that
there was transferred to Sinking Fund ol
Public Works Income, on the 18th Nov,
1855, the sum of 100000 If this
transfer had not been made, the Public
Works Expenses for 18545 would have
been paid out of the Public Works Reve-
nue. for the same time, and the apparent
balance of the Sinking Fund would have
been Sq0O,O00 less.
1t is due, also, to the State Auditor, to
say that the balance of 1855 was correctly
stated from the books in his office, and
that the unauthorized debts and liabilities
which absorbed it, were contracted against
his earnest and repeated remonstranccs
respectfully invite your attention to 9
suggestion made by him, OF PROVISION py
law that parties, by whose unauthoTlzeo
acts debts of this character may be here
after created, shall be held personally res
ponsible for them.

particularly of the merits of these Machines, as they
are too well known throughout the country to need
extOlling but the fact that they have heretofore and

to induce all those in want of such a Ma
chine, to purchase one Of these.

BOSTON JOURNAL,

tits hardly necessary to speak. In many
years it has contessedly stood at the head
Of the newspaper press OF New England.
This position was attained not through
any special effort on the part Of its pub
fishers to increase the circulation by
agents or other Of the usual means, but
bee suse it has proved to be such o paper
as every moral, Intelligent man in the
might with propriety introduce
into his family circle, to be read by his
children and from which he might draw
for them both instruction and entertain
ment. With such a character it has earn
ed the position it occul les; and the fact
that its circulation is much larger than
any other paper of its class in New Eng.
lond, is the clearest proof Of the cstima-
in which it SHIELD by the reading commu-
nifty.
What the Journa has been in the pa st
We intend it shall be in the future. Our
aim is to make IL emphatically
A FAMILY NEWSPAPER
We intend that 1t shall be complete
record Of the events Of the age in which
we live that the attentive and careful
rea der Of its pages shall be able to gather
from them accurate and reliable informa
ton of every event ofinterest in politics
the arts and scie noes, mcrals and religion
in this country and in foreign lands; and
they shall have this info m alto n a. n ear
lier day than they can obtain it from an y
other source. In all it's departments
Editorial, News, Commercial, Literary
Misce | la ne0us, we intend that it sha II be
second to no other paper issued in this
country. ~ -.
The present season is a favorable one
for the organization of Clubs for subscrip-
tion to the Journal. One enter rising
ma n in each Town and Village can, with
very little trouble get up Club Of ten or
more persons, and thus get his own paper
for nothing.
We are now ready to receive subscrip-
tions for the Weekly Journal from Clubs
for the year 1857. And we can assure all
those who avail themselves Of the liberal
terms on which it is offered, that no effort
will be spared to make it worthy their con.
fidence nd patronage.
