RESOLUTIONS,

Resolved by tie General assembly Of
tile State Of Ohio, l. That this General
Assembly has observed with regret that in
the opinion lately pronounced by Chief
Justice Taney, in behalf of the majority of
the Supreme Court of the United States,
IN the case Of Dred Scott against j. +. ii.
Sanford, occasion has been taken to pro-
nluigate' extra judicially, certain doctrines
concerning Slavery, not less contradictory
TO well known facts of history, then repug-
nant to the plain provisions of the Consti-
tuition all and subversive of the RIGHTS of
Freemen and Free States.
2. That in the judgment of this Gener-
al Assembly, every person born within the
limits of any State of this Union, is n citi-
zen thereof, and to deny to any such person
the right Of suing in the Courts of the Uni
ted States, in the cases where that RIGHT is
guaranteed by the Constitution to all citi-
zens of the United States; is palpable and
unwarrantable violation of that sacred in
strlmenti

The CAUSES OF REPUBLICAN DEFEAT
In all the elections recently held, the most
untoward circumstances seemed to have
conspired to defeat the Black Republicans:
They admit having been badly beaten; but
they could mt override the circumstances
and this is sufficien: and comfortable ex-
cuse In Connecticut it rained in some
places. The Democrats turned out and
voted en- masse. The Republicans "knew
enough to stay in when it rained." and
though they thus saved their boots from
the mud, they lost victory.
In Pennsylvania the Quakers didn't vote.
In Ohio. busted, with the financial storm,
raging through their State, the Republicans
by thousands neglected their political du-
ties. Their opponents attended to theirs
and won. Having no interest in the none
tary pressure. and no money to lose, they
of course, had nothing to do but vote.
In Kansas the Republicans were dra-
gooned out of a full victory, aud the Mis-
sourians helped the Democrats.
In Iowa the Republicans unfortunately
had majority Of the votes. They were
also busted in financial matters.
Minnesota is uncertain. 1t will depend
upon the character Of the returns. whether
any apology or excuse will be necessary on
the part of the Republicans.
Notwithstanding these apparent reverses.
however. the Republican patty is still
strong and vigorous. and has made i'm
mcnse gains since last fall (?) These facts
will be made apparent at some future day.

An Earthquake.

About 3'l5 p. NJ. yesterday, there came
shock. apparently from the southeast. which
people at once recognized as an earthquake.
Those walking on the street did not feel the
it; those standing still felt the jar of the
ground beneath them, and locked to see what
furious driving omnibus made such noise.
But in buildings there was fright Those
on the ground floor felt the jar and waving
of the walls, and saw crockery dancing on
the dinner tables, china rattlingin the clos
cts. ves-pipes(n one instance FALLING,
while in another dilapidated chimney
parted with few of it's topmost bricks.
The farther up from the ground, the greater
the shock In fourth and fifth stories there
was sensible lettering of brick walls, and
tools rolled from the benches of workmen
to the floor.--There was general scamper
to the street, and, for a monet all manner
of questions about what hogshead of suga
had broken loose, what ib-boom ola yes
sic had run into the wafer-side building,
what fire proof safe had fallen, what boiler
had bust, or what powder magazine had
blown up. But the borborygoums (look
at The dictionary mutterlngs from the bow
els of our common mother explained the
thing, and all settled down on one con-
clusion we had had an earthquake
There were some incidents funny enough
now, but people forgot TO laugh at them at
the time. At the Court House trial was
in progress. At that point the shock was
SO decided and startling shat the last trump

Ii was general stampede. Out rushed

In the school houses, school was very
summarily dismissed, and it is fortunate
that no accident ACQUIRED in the sudden
rush.
So much for incidents. The duration
of the shock was probably fifteen or twenty
seconds. 1t was by far the most severe

over the city, and was so startling as to
