EDiroR 5F TRiBUNE.-The prevailing
elemen, IN the legislation Of the General
Assembly Of 1853. to date, has been
"nieper." To be sure. two acts may be
found on Gle in The Secretary o. States
Oaoe. as the matured fruits Of this body.
I name them: "senate Joint Kansas
resolutions" and IAN act making partial
appropriations for 1850" The last
named takes from the treasury, Of the
peoples money. 100000 $4,000 Of
which is for "per diem and mileage" Of
members Of the Legislature, and 100000
has already been exhausted in legislating
for tho slave master and mistress Of Ken
tuoky Hamilton county is the orbit, and
members from the rural districts revolye
around her with astronomical accuracy.
She says by the voice Of her Representa-
tives. that she desires the act TO prevent
slaveholding AMI kidnapping in Ohio re-
pealed--prsao II is done. Sha ticklos
the ears Of members from rural districts
by high sounding phrases such as the
'comity Of States" prescription, etc,
which II properly interpreted would read:
we desire that the slave master aud mis-
,ress may cross the Ohio River with their
slaves and faunt them under the ewes Of
tho freedom loving people Of Ohio At
pleasure. There are questions Of vital
importance to the people Of Ohio, for the
General Assembly to act upon. Our
Treasury is bankrupt. The Institutions
ot our State must be sustained, The
currency Of our State needs regulating.
and other questions Of great Importance.
and yet they are rrittering away their time
on the "nigger" question and by attempt
ing to repeal the wholesome acts Of The
last Legislature.
Republican Senators discovered that
the Joint Kansas resolutions, which the
Harmonious Democracy crowded thro'
on the previous question, were still in the
hands Of the Clerk Of lhe Senate. The reso.
luions provided thAtthe Clerk Of the Senate
certify the samq to the Governor and that
he forward copy to tho Senators and
R'proson atiyes ia Congress. In order
tat these requirements might be com.
piled with Republican Senator moved
that the Clerk be instructed 10 certify the
Joint Kansas resolutions tn the Governor.
This the Democratic Senators nsgatiyed
Another motion was made that the Sec
retary Of State be instructed to certify
the resolutions to the Governor, Repub-
lican Senator'S attempted to explain their
reasons for the motion, when the gag was
promptly applied by Senator McKelley,
who moved tho previous question. and
the motion was defeated by party vote
II has fallen out that young U. S Sem
ator has advised the Ajax Of the Senate.
Phelps, that if the resolutions were for
varded they would embarrass his course
and requested that they be "still( cd y"
The Senator is now without facts"
A few more repeOls, (as the Ouctioneer
would say.) Representative Stout has
introduced a bill to repeal IAN act further

serve tho purity Of elections" passed
