What AboIilieBism has done in Ohio

1t his made Ohio the Botany Bay
of the free negroes of the South, who
are pouring into it in hordes. 1t has
arrayed the State in open hostility
against the Federal Government, and
through its highest officers declared
its readiness to push, to even the ar
bitrament of arms, the issue between
State and Federal sovereignty. Il
has trampled upon the writs of the
United States tribunals, and defed
their power to execute within the
State of Ohio the exclusive jurisdic-
ton conferred upon the Federal Gov
ernment. 1t has repudiated the au-
thority of the Supreme Court to decide
questions of constitutional power and
right. 1t has passed laws 20 render
null and void the acts of Congress
enacted in pursuance of express pro.
visions Of the Constitution of the Uni
tedS5ates. The Legislatures of Ohio
and New York have recently enacted
laws making it P enissnti,ry offsace
from two TO tan years-for any
one to claim ownership of a slave in
those States.

nessrs. Harris and Halton----With-
drawal Of their appointments.
1t will be seen from the following
card, that the candidates for Cover
nor have agreed to conclude their
canvass with their discussion at this
place on Wednesday last. The rea-.
sons that have nduced them to do so
are frankly stated 10 their card to
the public. We can only express
our sincere regret that the eight re-
naming appointments could no. have
been filed. Democracy always gains
by discussion. To the present in-
stance We have had peculiarly the ad
vantage. We regret also the disap-
pOintmeDt it will occasion those who
have been expecting to hear them
We assure them, and we assure the
Democracy throughout the State,
that no one can regret it more sin
cerely than does Gen. Harris himself
He would have been pleased, had il
been possible, to have visited every
county in the State. He has made
an earnest and vigorous canvass
bearing the standard Of his party in
proud triumph upon every field. Tht
labor has been arduous. We fee
that be has fully discharged his du
! ty. We appeal to the lion-heartet
Democracy of the State to discharg,
theirs. Let every man be brought t.
the polls and republican principle,
will triumph in this contest ever
moreBignally than in the last:
TO THE PUBLIC.
The undersigned, candidates 70

ally unabIs, from the effects of th
severe labors in which for the pas
two mouths they have been engaged
to prosecute the Canvass further, hav
mutually agreed to withdraw the bal
, ance Of their appointments. The
both regret the necessity of this steI
but the condition of each is sue
that they cannot, without the risk {
their health, aud perhaps of the
lives, longer continue the canvas
They would have been glad to hay

naming appointments, and regret I
disappolnt those who may be in a
tendance; but the necessity impellin
them to this course is such that the
cannot in justice to themselves disrt

last speeches to-day before speukin

They hope that this card ma
give satisfaction to their respecti,
political friends, for thus closing til

Bells Humbug Distribution Scheme

Bells Humbag Distribution Scheme.
The reason urged by the Koew-
Nothings of Tennessee 10 favor of
distributing the Public Lands amongst
the States. is because of the large
grants of land made to the States
in which they lie. They argue that
this is unjust and wrong to the old
States. If this be true, then those
who voted for these land bills were
guilty OF an act of injustice and
wrong to the old States. This is
logical conclusion drawn from the
premises, from which human (even
John Bell's) ingenuity cannot escape.
! Now, | assert that the Hon. John
Bell voted for every large AMI i'm.
portant grant Of lands to the new
States whilst he was member of the
Senate. He must have voted for
these donations of the public lands
because he believed them to be right,
or else be wilfuily and intent tnally
did wrong and an act of injustice
to the old States.
| | challenge any disiii5utionist of
| Tennessee to show that John Bell
voted against any large grant of
lands to the new States which passed
Congress whilst he was a member.
i These premises being true, and
they cannot be controverted, it fol-
lows that Bell did not introduce his
distribution scheme on account oil
Injustice to the old States, unle S.

United States Troops ordered out.

On Wednesday evening, the 18th
inst, Gov. Walker issued a procla-
nation to the people of Kansas, no.
tifying them that he had summoned
to bis aid the troops Of the United
States to assist him in enforcing
tie laws. The occasion Of the proc
lama,ion was the action OF the Free
State party, in persisting in giving
practical efficiency to the legislation
of the bogus Legislature Of Topeka
aud resisting the collection of taxes.
The Topeka body had passed laws
comforting charters upon certain towns
and bodies, with the privilege of elect
ling Mayors Just ices Of tn: Peace,
etc., under them. The attempt to
use these charters, and the refusal
to pay taxes, brought matters to an
issue at once between the Free State
party and the constituted authorities
Of the Territories. Gov. Walker has
met the emergency 10 proper spirit
proclaimed his intention to main
tain and enforce the laws, collect the
taxes, and as a precaution ordered
out the troops Of United States, sta
tioning them at Lawrence. He pro-
nounces the course Of the Free State
party reasonable, calling upon all lis
adherents TO aid in the enforcement
Of the laws and maintaining the public
peace, assuring all that in case of
obedience all should be forgotten.

Speculation in the West.

The excessive speculation raging
in western lands is pretty we'll shown
up by n correspondent of the Ohio
State Journal, who writes from Omaha,
Nebraska territory, whittier be had

that Iowa is a grand theatre Of spec
ulation; that the towns all are from
ten to a hundred years ahead of the
country, that they are mere paper in
Aations, blown up by shrewd operators,
and that this spring there is more
emigration from Iowa than immigra-
ton to it. Lots in the town of Fort
Des Moines, .the capitol of Iowa, are
offering for higher rates than lots
in Columbus, the capitol of Ohio;
yet the latter is Il large city, and
has railroads and canals, whereas
Fort Des Moines is a small place
without any such facilities. The
writer says That bis journey westward
was in search Of n location for BUSH

went even out into Nebraska. think

sometimes they join for ten OF fifteen
miles at stretch. Omaha and
Florence are twenty miles apart, and
the whole distance between them is
laid out in building lots.
