0ETFrom the number of petitions presented
in the Legislature asking that some effective ac-
tion be taken, to prevent the further immigra-
tion Of negroes to the State OF Ohio it is evident
that the attention of the people is seriously d.
rected to the subject, and that the conviction
is prevalent that something Of the kind is ne
cessary to protect the white. laboring population
of Ohio, from the disastrous and evil effects that
must result from an indiscriminate immigration
OF negroes to this State The legislation of
many Of the Southern States excluding free ne.
groes from habitatlons in them and compelling
those now there to leave the States referred to,
will of necessity bring within the limits of Ohio
a large population of character not to be de-
sired, unless it be excluded from our State by
timely legislature. There is no valid reason
that can be offered why the State of Ohio
should be made the receptacle for all the free
negroes that may be expelled from the South
ern States, and if permitted te make their hab-
itation among us, the effect will be ruinous to
the moral, social and pecuniary interests Of the
white laborng population of Ohio Instead of
the clap trap catch words of the Republican
party about free labor Us. slave labor with
which the people have been uselessly annoyed :,
we shall have very soon practical question Of
negro labor Us, white labor in Ohio The Re-
publicans will take their position in favor ofthe
former and the Democrats in favor of the latter
This legislature will refuse to respond favorably
to the petitions ofthe people, and the question
will be vital one in our State elections in 19-
60 and 1861, when the people will return
General Assembly that will protect the White
Labor OF Ohio against the influx of such pop
ulation as we have referred to.-Statesman.

"TInc Coming Horde"

Under this heading the Cincinnati Enquirer
speaks of the probability ofseveral of the States
following the example of Arkansas in excluding
free negroes, and says:
"The result Of this will be, that the poor
banshed wretches will come pouring in upon
US by hundreds and thousands. Unfit for
residence in new countries, and without the
industry necessary to subdue wilderness; shut
out by stringent laws from the other free States
of the West, and kept from those that are fur
ther north by the coldness of the climate, Ohio
will be in fair way to be overrun by swarm
the destitute and improvident, and the ques.
ton, what is to be done? will be forced upon her
by circumstances of the most imperative char
acter. Little as the event in question may ap-
pear to some, it is one that will be sure to beget
long train of consequences, nor is it unlikely
that, among other effects, it will disclose the
weakest point in our Union, and exhibit dan
gers 10 the Contcderacy hitherto unforeseen, and
against which no adequate protection has been
devised. Enough may now be seen to indicate
that the end is not yet and that there is more
than enough of bitterness in store for the fu-
ture."

Hear Robert c. schenclk.

During the famous struggle for the Speaker

Joined below Apply them to the course Of
Jno. A. Bingham. Apply them TO your own
conscicnces, ye who support him. Wings you
were, oh? Fie!
"If we OF the Northern States would not vote
for Southern man, merely because he is a
Southern man, and men OF the South will not
vote for Northern man; and if fthat principle is
10 be carried out from here into all our national
politics and elections, what must be the result!
Disunion THAT ITSELF is DIsUNIoN. You
may disguise and cover it up as you please, but
that it will be. 1t may, perhaps be regarded
rs but the first step in disunion; but its con-
sequence follows as inevitable as fate. One
section--the North or the South--must always
have the majority. Disfranchise oil upon the
other side, and the Union could not hold togeth-
er day; IL ought not to hold together upon such
conditions day, On this floor we now have
from the free States one hundred and forty Rep
resentatives, and ninety from the slave States.
Suppose the relative numbers were reversed
would we submit to be denied all participation
in privileges here? Nor FOR AN HOUR. And
should we ask for such submission from others?
NEVER! The Wing part says--never. The
true people ofthe North say--never."
That was good Whig doctrine ten years ago.
1t was good American doctrine in 1856; and we
aver here, that it is good sound Democratic doc
trine everywhere, and all the time.

"sick,y shred Of Gulf States"

"Scklyshred of Gulf States is one of the
very chaste and elegant phrases used by Gov.
Dennison in his late Inaugural message. Oar
learned and patriotic % Governor doubtless
used the phrase for the purpose Of expressing
in very pointed and emphatic manner, his
hatred OF that portion ofour people who are so
unfortunate as to livein a part of our country
where slavery exists. All abolitonists are in
the habit OF fharping upon what they are pleas
ed to denominate the "sickly, poverty-stricken,
non producing States of the South" This is
the favorite theme of abolition croakers and
hypocritcal phlanthropists, WHO have so little
regard for truth that were it possible to make
figures lie, they would do it.
We find by an examination and comparison
OF the Statistics embodied in the last Report Of
the Secretary Of the Treasury of the United
States, that this 'tsickly shred Of Gull States"
embracing the the nine Southern States lying
upon the Sea-coas and the Gulf-Maryland,
Virginia, North and South Carolinas, Georgia
Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and Texas actual
ly exported to foreign countries, during the last
fiscal year. more produce than all the other
States and Territories combined. The total
value ofAmerican Produce sported to foreign
countries, from July 1. 1858, to June 30, 1859,
amounted to $685., ,S94.395. OF this amount
the nine States above named-that "sickly
shred of Gulf States''-exported $1S6, ,56S, ,667,
being thrty-seven millions, two hundred and
ninety-two thousand, four hundred and sixty
dollars more than all the rest of the States
and Territories of the Union!
If these are the "sickly" ''non- producing
States of the South" we think it would not
be any serious drawback to our country to have
a few more such.- CircleuNc Watchnaan.

was SO extremely happy that she was ever az
terward heari singing at the top of her voice
that old hymn, 'The love of God is coming

this song. One day old "Jowler," the house
dog, came in while she was singing, and helpec
himselfto o piece of meat that was on the table.
Polly, observing the movement OF Jowler, con-

Halle, Hallelujah;
You nasty shrinking, lop-enred hound;
Oh, glory Hallelujah!"

The Worcester Bay State says:--"Some hun
dreds of people lie bleeding, crushed, dying in
the market places and under the roof Of the
city hall at Lawrence. Writhing in torture,
they need the kind Offices of that sex which
has been vouchsafed to sooth our hours of an
gush. Why is it, then, that we do not hear Of
the presence of LYDIA Maria Child at this
scene of woe? 1t is true that she would find
find no horse thieves there upon whom to Law
ish her maternal fondness. Nor could she clasp
in her chaste. sisterly embrace the cold blood

pathy and dollars for the nigger,-nothing for
respectable poor, starving, dying whites at our
own doors. From such philanthropy, GOOD

again mourneth. See the Republican. The
idea of such person as"Whangdoodle"a attempt
ing to reply to such men as Revs. John Cham
bers and l. D. Williamson, is the "heighth OF
impudence" As the fellow seems troubled
also about Dr. Rice's sermons, we publish Tor
his particular benefit, the following notice OF
the Dr's. second sermon on the subject OF sla-
very, from republican exchange
DR.. Rice's second sermon on the slavery
question was delivered in Chicago to large
audience Sunday evening. The Doctor reca-
pituated the usage of the Presbyterian Church,
lold schoon on the subject Of slavery. ltincul-
Gated upon masters the duty OF teaching their
slaves; of avoiding the separation of families; OF
encouraging marriage and family worship among
the slaves, etc. In the opinion of the speaker,
there was as much religion among Shareholders
as among any other class of men; they are con-
yicted Of sin in the same manner, and by the
same grace which penetrates the hearts OF men
in the North. They experience the same Joy
and peace in believing as non Shareholders do.
The speaker was himself converted, ifconvert-
ed at all, in answer to prayers offered up by
Shareholders The COLONIZATION Society was the
noblest institution Of the century The Church
recommended emancipation when convenient,
but the Church did not command impossblll
ties. The Northern abolitionists would dc
we'll to reform the abuses which existed in theiI
own homes, ere they attempt to cure tbs evils
of Southern society. Let the aboltionists re-
form their own code of black laws, which dis
grace their statute books, and which are III
themselves one great obstacle to emancipation
ere they meddie with the affairs of their South
ern brethren.

neighborhood will please loan him this number

mean to take the paper himself

The following table, which has been prepared
to show the apportionment Of Representatives

his hat and politely show the disciple Of Gid

= Much has been said by Republican presses,
Of the procriptiveness of the Democrats, when
they come into power. And yet, with all their
pledges and promises-with all their denunci-
alton of prosciption-no party goes to further
extreme in proscr Thing men, if so, they choose to
call it, for political opinions, than does this
same Republican party, or than have the new
officers, elected by Republican votes, in the

ffoor-but has already been, or will be, remoV'
ed, to make way for some of the hundreds OF
hungry Republican applicants now in the CITY,
do not say this with a view to censuring, Tor
I hold to the opinion that they have not only
the right, but that it is duty they owe to their
party, to remember their friends in the bestow-
al OF positions; but merely refer to the matter
to show the hypocricy of the Republican papers
in charging the Democracy with being proscrip-
tive. And here, might add, for the benefit OF
the few papers in your State, protesting to be
Democratic. which have raised "houP against
the President, every time Postmaster is re-
moved-no matter on what grounds - and
charge it to prescription because he is Douglas
