In connection with the State ticket and the
issued presented. the Republicans of Ohio feel
a deep interest in the complexion of the next
Legislature, and the probabilities of Repub-
lican majority in either or both Houses 1T is
an uudisputed fact that the last Legislature,
with Democratic majority in both Senate
and House, was elected BY minority of votes
amounting to about six xathousand This was
the result of the appointment for members of
the Legislature, which was provided for in the
Constitution. The frdmers of the Constitu-
tion were mostly politicians, and though they
very properly put the appointment forever out
of the hands of the Legislature, they did not
fail to indulge themselves in the luxury of a
gerrymander
When the Constitution was framed, the po
litical complexion of many of the counties was
very different from the present; and the ap-
portionment, which was very well planned for
the Democracy in 1851, is not so favorably
at this time. Then there were three parties,
with prospect that they would continue.-
The Democracy then carried the counties
of Belmont, Columbiana. Cuyahoga, Erie Har
risun, Huron, Jefferson, Knox, Lorain, Lucas,
Mahoning, Medina. Morrow, Portage, Summit,
Trumbull, Williams-al of which are now
among the most certain of the Republican
counties. A number of these counties will
have floating nnembeas added to their repre-
sentation this year, which will be in our favor,
though they we're disposed in the apportion-
mert to secure majority for the Demccra
cy this year, as a United States Senator is
to be elected by the coming Legislature =
This arrangement of the floats makes about
nine in our favor in 1859, which is so much
to start with. in our calculations; Huron, Lo
rain. Mahoning, Medina. Miami. Portage Sum
nit. Warren, and one or two Others, of which
the Republicans are next to certain, had bat
one member each In the last House, while in
the next they will have two. On the other
hand, Brown, Butler, Clermont, Fairfield, Mon,
roe Richland and others, that were last year
represented by two members each, will have
only one this year. asH a't-ji fstl 51g i''''a 81
We have carefully looked over the districts
electing representatives; and taking the genera
political complexion of the counties into view
in connection with the vote for Supreme Judge
in 1858, we conclude that the l04 Represen-
tatives who will compose the next House vii
| be elected about as follows Goa.

1t will be observed that we make no doubt
full column, but leave the politicians to judge
for themselves. We have indicated the coun-
ties that will be. close, by attaching to them
their majorities for Peck or. BARLEY, according
to the column in which we have placed them
Many of the counties that we claim for the
Republicans, in this estimate, elected Demo.
Gratis to the last Legislature; but we think no
intelligent politician will say we claim too
much, if the Republicans do their duty The
majorities marked in parentheses, we each
county. will show by what authority to put
them down in either column. 1t will be OBJ
served that they are mostly majorties that
may be safely calculated upon in an active
campaign. Some of them are small; but there
are small ones on each side. The figures
placed before Clermont and Seneca, indicate
the majortties they gave for the Republican
candidates for Congress in 1868. @
In forming an estimate for the Senate, we
have been governed by the same rule, as for
the House. We set down the certain Districts
on the sides to which they belong, and then
place all that may be considered doubtful up
on the sides where they voted in 1853, and
give the majorities on the vote for Supreme
Judge. The result is as follows: =gY sam

These men are yet in the hands of the foes
of human freedom. Their cases are pre-
judged. Guilty or innocent, the United
States authorities have determined upon their
conviction. For this purpose another servile-
ly partisan Jury of the Slave Democracy have
been carefully packed, with direct reference to
the werk to be done. The court ordered
these men TO Jail in the exercise of power,
dangerous in the hands of bad men. It then
demanded that as a condition of their release
they should supplicate it for money. This
proposition they promptly spurned For days,
weeks and months they have been imprison-
ed. Those who know Prof Peck, Ralph
Plumb. Doct. Fitch and their associates need
not be told that Wilson, Belden & Co., have
not the power to make them compromise their
manhood or the cause of human freedom
These men are none of them rich, and many
of them are poor. Most of them have fami
lies dependant for their support upon the dai-
ly earning of this noble band of martyrs in
the cause of liberty. These families must be
clothed and fed Portage county must send
them thousand dollars new, and more when
that is exhausted. Hon. s. Plumb a brother
of Ralph, has been with us, and at an inform
al meeting of the friends j. s. Herriek, Fl.
Y. Beebe and F. W. Seymour, were appoint.
! ed committee. to canvass the county and
raise the first installment of thousand dol
dollars. Let every one contribute according
to his or her means. Let hi!dren throw in
their mite as an investment that shall by and
{ by bring in rich harvest, The contest is
begun. These gallant men are persecuted
because they love liberty and hate slavery -
. So all anti slavery men may help them. They
are forced into felons cell because they are
Republicans not Democrats. Hence every
big hearted Republican should sustain them.
Langston will soon be among us to talk as he
talked to the Jeffries OF Ohio. Let all hear
, him. The committee before alluded to will
soon be at work. Keep the ball rolling. and
the fires lighted, SO that when the banner is
awarded it may fall to E.a @
