Omo.-Democratic anti Lecompton meetings
have now been held at Columbus, Cleveland,
Toledo, Cincinnati, Mount Vernon, and all the
prominent towns in the State; and the papers
all concur in representing the late State conven-

Columbus as a most imposing demonstration
Ohio is sound to the core.
WE have always entertained the most bitter
prejudice against patent rights; these inimical
feelings have been engendered by the many pal

LEGISLATIVE MATTERS. Hon. ALph. Raymond
becomes Home SicL-DOsent Profess to 6ea Dem
agogue, 8c-As usual we see Mr.. Raymond in
the Legislative proceedings; this time on the
mileage question.
The House resumed the consideration of the
mileage question, and Mr.. Raymond being entitled
to the floor, proceeded with his argument against
the adoption of the pending resolution. He said:
On last Saturday night, this House, with the
concurrence of the Senate, passed resolution,
unanimously, to adjourn, in advance of the time
Mt which the Constitution would have dissolved
us. Ind thought that at 10 o'clock on Satur-
day night-nincty days exactly had elapsed
since the commencement of the session-this
House was dissolved by the Constitutions; but
we sat here until 10 o'clock, when we adjourned
sine die by unanimous vote of the body. Sir
certain papers in this city have seen fit TO de
nounce us as 'rebclS."
Mr. Word here interposed and requested the
Speaker to contine the gentleman from Marion
to the subject before the House.
The Speaker admOnished him to restrict the
latitude of his remarks.
