A TOUCH OF REPUBLICAN NULLIFICA
TI0N IN THE SENATE.
yesterday morning, the Senator from Jefferson
presented two petitions from citizens of Columbi
ana county, praying for the passage of a law pro
hibiting any person in this State from assisting
under either local or federal Jurisdiction, in the
rendition of fugitives claimed as slaves from On
other S,ate-which petitions were referred to the
committee on Federal Relations. About an bou,
after the first of these PETITIONS was referred. Mr.
Winans, who represents Green county, in which
Willoughby Institute is situated, offered a re ,olu
ton instructing the committee to report the "rea
sons why" the prayer of the petitioners could no,
DO granted. In the debate on this resolution. the
Dem ocratic Senators commended that it was unnec
essary, unless the Senate wished to imply a doub,
OF the readiness or intimate q charge of the unwil
!ingness OF the Committee to report in good faith,
and in due time, upon the subject assigned to them,
MIR. Winans disclaimed any such motive for his
resolution and he appeared to suppose that the
committee would report unanimously against
granting the prayer of the Columbiana n%ullifers,
and that the report would be affirmed by the Sen
ate with like unanimity. But pending the discuss,
ion upon the adoption Of this resolution, Mr.. Tay.
Tor, OF Mahoning, as if jealous of the concessions
Of the Senator from Greene, proposed to add on
amendment, instructing the committee on Federal
Relations, to report a bill prohibiting "any officer
OF the State from engaging 10 the business of slave
catching"
This amendment was lost by a party vote. The
Republican Senators had an opportunity in these
proceedings to show how they yet stand on the
Ohio State Journals Rugged ~Issue." They still
mean to be understood as nullifers of the Fugitive
Slave Law, which is only one of the particular
points of resistance to federal authority, among
many others included in that general designation
The Western Reserve is entirely represented Il in the
Senate BY Republicans and this predominance still
Keeps the control OF that party 10 the hands of the
more extreme lovers Of the negro. The spirit Of
Giddlngs still lives in the party, judging by the
action Of its Senators in the Legislature. The an.
nouncement of the Ashtabula Chief recently, in
the Representative Hall at Washington, that he
may be u candidate for governor, appears to have
revived the latterly laggard ardor of the Senators
from his region Of the State. lie wishes to make
the issue bluntly with the Democracy, be tells US,
in favor of putting the Democrats and the negroes
on an equality. In the same temper, the Senators
OF his party wish to pass again an act nullifyinp
the Fugitive law of Congress. We suggest to the
same Senators, that they should, at least, make an
effort to impress the views of their leader upon the
legislation of Ohio, by introducing a bill providing
either'for the investment of the right of suffrage
in our black population, or, as Mr.. Giddings' al
Tentative, for the wholesale Acknowledgement Of
the Democratic party.
Meantime, we suspect Mr.. Winans was in error
in supposing that his Republican friends were rea
dy to deny the wishes Of the Columbiana abolition
lists and the eagerness with which they accented

have been, however. as Obvious this winter to the
~"nigger" as citizen Sam Cox to the claims of his
dark "Latini,y" priest.
To day the "nigger" poked his head through the
w~oodpile, but our Senatorial friends soon made him
"duck under" again. The spiritual influence
brought to bear upon him, came from modern Sa.

bo should not be taken down South again, when
once upon Ohio soil. In other words, they propose
to nulliiy the Fugitive Slave Law.
Said memorials were referred to the committee
on Foreign Relations, and subsequently during
the day, the Senator from Green moved, BY resolu.
ton, that said committee be instructed to report
back why this Legislature could not enact q Law
in accordance with the petitioners request.
