OHIO LEGISLATION,

The Legislature of Ohio adjourned this week
after granting every facility to slave hunting and
dishonoring the state by its legislation
Among the bills proposed, (whether passed into IL
law or not. we cannot say, though our impression
is that it was,) was one making doubly sure the
previous legislation Of the state, disfranchising all
persons with any faint Of African Decent. The
bill was one prescribing the duties of Judges of
Election. 1t makes it the duty of the Judges Of
Eleetions to reject the votes of persons reputed to
be in whole or in part Of African descent and il
is provided, in the second section, that any person
who is reputcd to be in whole or in part of African
descent, who shall vote at any such erection. shall,
on conviction thereof be imprisoned in the ooan.

CASE OF WIN. M. CONNOLLY.

We have repeatedly called attention to the fugi
tive slave case with which VIM. NJ. Connolly was
connected inCincinnati. As facts are the best arSu-
ments against the outrages perpetrated slavery by
we will here recapitulate. In June las, two slaves
Ilwin Broadhusa and Angeline, his wife, claimed by
Colonel Charles A. Withers of Coving on KY, es-
capped to Cincinnati, and when pursued by the
agents Of cur Kidnapping Government were found
socreted in the rooms of Mr.. Connolly. who was at
the time employed as q reporter ir the Office OF the
Cincinnati Commercial. Mr.. Connolly alleges tina;
in harboring them he was made the victim of u con-
spiracy that he secreted them q. the request
of the person who afterwards informed on them,
receiving reward for his treachery, who represents.

down by one of the Marshals through the apper-
ture above the door,
The brave man and his wife were taken back to
Kentucky. he to die of his wounds after lingering
a few days, and she. bereaved Of her husband by
the hand Of her kidnapper, was consigned to a life
Of hopeless slavery.
Mr.. Connolly was Immediately made the victim
of persecution by the kidnappers under the fuGi-
tive slave law. An indictment was found against
him for secreting the slaves, in the District Court
Of the United States, Judge Leavitts). lie was
poor, in debt, had a family dependent upon his la,
Dor. That he might give them support and avoid
expense and imprisonment, he left Cincinnati and
went to New York, where he found employment in
the Office of the Sun, until last week, when he was
arrested by a United States Marshal, taken back to
Cincinnati for trial and lodged in Jail.
For several months past he has been harrassed by
the Marshals 10 pursuit of him and has prosecuted

W jail, not more shan three months, nor less than
one month. Again: persons oounselling or advising
such persons TO vote are subject to n fine not cx
ceeding i've hundred dollars, and imprisonment
from one to six months. Judges OF Elections re.
ceiving such vote, are to be visited with a similar
penalty. Prosecutions to be by indictment in the
Court Of Common Pleas, and Judges to give the
act especially in charge of the Court.
Many of the per sons disfranchised by this bill
are among the most worthy and excellent citizens
Of the state. Persons tar better qualified to exer

superior moral character. Of purer Democracy aud
by no means inferior in general intelligence to
these Democratic Legislators who disfranchise
them. In connection with this vandal legislation,
we ask our readers to consider the account Mr..
Rowland gives in another column of our paper of
the colored citizens on Deer Greek. Some Of
this community we presume are Mr.. Chase's
constituents, the man who introduced this Till.
Frederick Douglass commenting on this unjust
legislation Gays:

of Ohio contains within her borders thousands OF

respect. they will not suffer detriment when COM
pared with the more favored class Of her popula
ton. Many of them have voted under the deci
sion of the Supreme Court Of the State, at former
elections. Indeed, no colored man in sOme parts
Of the State, is refused the right Of suffrage. In
other parts, where the Democrats are more par

Illustrations from Designs bv The Author. on
crsvsd by N. Orr. 400 pp. New York A.. B.
Burdick. 1858.
Recently we gave an extract from this book
from which our readers can form some idea Of its
quaiity. The object Of the writer is 10 depict
some Of the prominent features and influences Of
slavery az well upon the slaves as the depressing
class. One Of the prominent char ncters of the
book. from n northern Quaker, becomes one Of the
most reckless and brutal Of shareholders, and az
the story develops, it is diversified with numerous
characters and incidents. many Ct them shocking
in detail, showing the necessary and absolute
Subsection Of female slaves, black and white, rude

care iest emancipa,iou should increase amnlgana-
ZION. to read old Hepsey". They will thu, be-
come batter informed relative TO tho locality where
this practice abounds MS we'll as with its cnurs.
Some Of the revolving incidents Of The story seem
Mt first view unnatural and yet, any one ncquAink
ed with slavery can vol understand that they
mus: be ii necessary accompaniment, Of the un.
natural relation of master and slave a relation
which has no law but lust and power. The
people Of the North know and realize compare
lively nothing Of the horrible and disgusting
%enormities of slavery. This book WAS designed
to create aud deepen this impression upon the
public mind. and M The interest with which the
story is clothed should secure it's perusal this dc-ir-
able result will We trust be secured. Though the
expression Of passion by some of Mrs. Dennis
sons characters seems wild and extravaganza. yet
in the main they are natural and impressive, and
she evidently writes with candor even of slave
holders, For though fully acquainted with the
dernoralizing influence of slavery upon their
characters yet, shs regards and represents them
ns not altogether destitute Of conscience in regard
to the system, and rs occasionally possessed Of
noble impulses and purposes eveh towards their
oppressed victims. This gives the book an air Of
fairness and impar,ialisy which will DO its recon-.
mendation to many minds.
