Matters at the Capital.
Columns, Jan. I6, 1860

Columns, Jan. I6, 1860.
The Inauguration was attended with great
eclat, but, as your readers have long before this
been posted in the particulars / will not tax
your columns with repetition.
Governor Dennison is a fine looking, aifa>
ble gentleman, and will, without doubt, honor
his Office. His address was read with ease,
earnestness, and eloquence. He takes high and
unmistakable grounds upon the vital issues of
the day.
While, however, we accord talent and great mer-
tito Governor Dennison, we design no disParage-
ment in referring to his immediate predecessor,
as, in many respects, the man Of the nation
Very few of our justly called great men present
the Statesman, the Roman like appearance OF
Mr.. Chase. As you see him in the crowd, you
find him at home-the pleasant-the familiar
the great man. While he greets you with the
case and hearty welcome of an old acquaint-
ance-still his fine figure, massive brOw3-his
person in all its bearings presents genius, a
power which, at once impress you with the
fact, that you are holding converse with no or
dinary man.
Ohio will Ger taiEly do herself great injustice
if she fails to honor this her worthy Statesman
with a seat in the u S Senate.
What the result will be in this particular it is
impossible at this time to PrOgnosticate with
any thing like probable, or, at least, satisfac-
tory certainty. Our impression hOwever,is, that
the present Legislaturewillp put proper estimate
upon the importance of this election so far as
the great principles of the Republican Party
are woven into it. and elect Mr.. Chase.
The action of the caucus Wednesday even.
ing last in postponing the election of Senator
until sometime in February, we are informed
| by Mr. Blakeslee, member of the House from
your county, an indomitable friend of Mr..
Chase, was simply a matter of necessity
From his version of the facts in the case, l
have no doubt, but that under the circumstan-
ces the wisest policy dictated this course.
The Senate presents fine array of heads,
embracing more talent it is said, by those who
profess to know, than any that has before graced
the Chamber.
Your Senator Breck, although quiet, is a
strong man. No one upon the floor knows bet
ter what he is about than the old celibaie -
There are also Senators Monroe Of Lorain, Gar
field of Portage, Cox of Trumbull, all literally
educated and talented men.
Through the politeness of Col. Spencer of
Geauga, we visited one afternoon the Boar1 of
Equalization. This body of men is really worth
looking upon They are most assuredly judging
from appearances, superior men. Candor, dig
nity,and judgment are manifest in all their de-
liberations. WILLARD.

CoIambus Arteslnn .McrI.

Though this well is now 2,34O feet deep, it
gives no sign Of spOuiing, and therein differs
materially from sundry JOres inside the Capitol.
The work was suspended on the Artesian the
18th Of October, and the average daily progress
downward for fourteen days before stopping
work, was four and one-quaTter feet, twenty
four hours of continuous labor being day s
work, the expense of which was $50 APpro.
PratiOns might as well be made to continue
the work SO far progressed, until the drill either
cools, meIts, or drops through.

A CsLEsTAL CAReo.-A ship recently sailed
from San Francisco for Hong Kong, with an
odorlierous cargo, consisting of the dead bodies
of some hundreds of Chinamen, bound for the
tombs of their ancestors. The perfume was
almost as delightful as that from the rats their
comrades eat. This kind of trade still tbrives
in the Pacific. Ships take live Chinamep and
dead rats TO California, and carry back to Asia
dead Cinnamon and live rats.

calculated to convey the impression tina

given directions - to how her shrout

should be inferred. At noon, on Mon
day, just as she had put everything i

that she believed she was about to b
taken sick. The latter advised her t.
lie down. She accordingly went NJ

The Texan Pl0t...Twenty.TW0 Negroes
Hanged.
Just as We are going to press, news
has arrived here from q reliable source
that twenty-five negroes have been ar
rested, and are to be hung in Waxa-
hatchie to-day.
Our fellow citizep, Mr.. H. T.. Cotton,
informs US that letter was received by
Thursdays mail, by his niece in that
place, from Mrs. Bennett, of Austin,
giving an account of fearful attempt
made about the 22d inst, to reduce our
State Capital to heap Of ashes. The
daring experiment was made to set fire
to some twenty-five Of the principal ed
ifices Of the city; fortunately, however,
the flames were discovered and ex-
tinguished, before any serious damage
had been sustained. On the night pre-
vious,th Austin correspondent to whom
We are indebted for the intelligence we
are recording, had been keeping vieils
over the bed of = sick friend, when she
observed sheet of flame bursting from
neightoring house; in consequence Of
timely warning, the citizens were en-.
a5led to arrest and save tho buildir g
from impending ruin.
At present, says Mrs. Bennett, the
whole population Of the metropolis are
under arms, and laboling under the
most intense excite neut. A police
force, consisting OF from sixty to ninety
men, are maintaining the strictest sys-
tenn Of vigilance, by night and by
day.
The Fl. Worth Ohief, Of July 25tb,
has the following:
On the 18th inst. was found the
body of man by the name Of VIM. H.
Crawford, suspended, to peacau tree,
about three-quarters Of mile from
town. A large number OF persons Wis.
tied the body during the day. at a
meeting Of the citizens the same eve
ming, strong evidence was adduced prov.
ing him to have been an Abolitionist.
The meeting endorsed tho action OF the
party who hung him.
Three negro men, the leaders of the
insurrection plot in Dallae, were" hung
in that town on the oath ult. Vigilance
committees have been organized in
every hamlet 10 Northern Texas. and the
people are now fully prepared tor every
emergency.

The Coming Contest.

From oil parts Of the country, North,
South, East and West, the sounds Of
preparation for the coming conflict are
heard. The battle will be holly fought,
every inch Of ground will be warmly
contested and no efforts will be spared
BY either party. Every Democrat who
believes that the right Of self.govar"
ment is right inherent in the people
that it is right derived from God and
not from Kings, Cabinets or Congresses,
is expected to do his whole duty. New
or in the history of the country have
tho American people been called upon
at the ballot box to pass upon ques-
ton of 20 vital Importance to the stabil-
ity Of our free institutions. The ques.
ton is not simply upon the right Of
Congress to legisIate upon this one great
question Of slavery in the territories.
But it is can Congress legislate for the
territories IN all cases Wh0tsoevers For
If Congress can intervene and determine
oil the relations between the black man
and the white man in the territories,
then it can intervene and determine oil
the relations between the white man and
black man, and Congress may pass q
complete civil and criminal code for the
territories.
If this government is to be admins
tered upon the theory that Congress
may, nay must either protect destroy
the right which q citizen may have in
one species OF property in the terrific
ries, then it may and it must protect or
destroy that right in all species Of prop
erty. The conclusion is inevitable.
Either Congress possesses this power
OF it does not. Ii it does it cannot DEL
egate it. And if Congress 10 bound to
pass "slaue code" or to .proAib;t a
sIovs code" then it is bound to pass
complete code Of laws tor the territory.
The whole theory Of those who are op-
posed to the right of self.government
In the territories is founded upon the as
! sumption that they are mere, J" colonial
dependencies" belonging to the Federal
Government; the theory Of Lord North
and the Imperial Parliament. sls it not
strange. "passing strange" that in the
year Of our Lord eighteen hundred and
