Her0td, OF the 10Th inst, says tnet 'tne
Democratic members of the Ohio Legis.
laiure have written TO Senator PuIh,
withdra wing all Instructors = TO hoA
he viii vote on the Kansas question.
That We. suppose is partly true. W.
know that a number of the member
signed a paper of that kind 10 what
extent. hogever, we are ignorant We
are also aware That n great many mem
bers were satisfied that the resolutions
we're ili.timed ; and many others. thai
they should not have been passed al all;
and we suspect that nearly ell of them
think thew had better have let Mr.. Pugh
art untrammeIed
And whereas. the disparagins rriec-
tons cast ny said article on the action
and integrity aud disin,eres;elncss OF
the General Assembly, is calculated to
weaken and degrade its position in the
Congress of the United States. and be-
fore the country, and consequently de-
mand u emphatic and indignant refu
tatinn /; therefore be il
Resog red. BY the General Assembly
OF The State Of Ohio, that we hereby,
without any qualification whatever, re-
affirm the inslrclions hitherto given to
our Senators and Representatives 10 Con
sress TO vote against the admission OF
Kansas under the so-called Lecompton
Constitution.
Resolved, further. that the Governor OF
this State be directed 10 forward forth
with. copies of the foregoing preamble
and resolutions, 10 zach of the Senators
and Representatives in Congress from
this State.
1t is difficult 10 imagine the consterna-
ton produced by these resolutions. The
more GENDER toed," were seen with hat
in hand. taking a 'bee line" for the
door, others wandered about seemingly
unconscious where, or what for, but as
soon as they we're sufficiently collected.
Mr. CHASE moved that the resolu
tious be laid upon the table. pending
which question a call of the House was
demanded and taken, and 95 members
answered to their names.
Mr.. CHASE moved that the Sergeant
alarms be dispatched for the absen-
tees.
Mr.. PARSONS moved to lay said mo-
ton on the table. Carried.
A motion TO adjourn was lost.
Further proceedings under the call
were then dispensed with.
The question then turning upon laying
the resolutions upon the table. Mr.. RAN
KIN gave notice of his desire to discuss
them.
The CHAIR decided that the reso-
~lutions would then be laid over under
the rule.
For the purpose of testing the sense of
the House upon the construction of the
rule, Mr.. HARRISON respectfully ap
peaied from the decision of the CHAIR.
Pending which the House adjourned.
Friday. In the House to day Mr..
Christy rose 10 a question of privilege,
relating TO the article in the Cincinnati
Enquirer. embodied iu Mr.. Harrisous res
Clulions Of yesterday, denying for him
self, and the rest o! the Democracy, the
whole charge. and branding it as false
in every particular.
Mr.. Harrison offered a resolution, 10
have a committee of three appointed TO
investigate the matter. This created an
unusual futtering, many showed evident
marks of being hit, for they had laid the
''lattering JUNCTION TO their souls" that
Mr.. Christy's denial, would put a quie-
tus to the whole affair.
It required an unheard OF stretch par
liameniary ruling by the Chair, TO get
the resolution on the table, but the end
is not yet.
There is TO be a great Anti Lecompton
Democratic meeting here to morrow
Mr.. Cox is expected from Washington,
to make a speech. Gov. Payne will be
here also. There's a good time COM
ing" The House and Senate adjourn
fir m Friday till Tuesday.
Yours, Respectfully. T.
