Gov. CnaSc'S Message.

Gov. Chase's Message takes up nearly al
our available space to day. 1t will be seen
that he favors the sale OF the canals, the
modification of the present Treasury law SO
as to admit Of deposi,ing the funds of the
State with banks, the repeal of the law with
holding the privilege Of voting from all who
have perceptible intermx;ure of African
blood in their veins, and the re.enactment
Of those Abolition laws which the last Dem
ocratic Legislature repealed. Looking es-
pecially TO the interests of the Democratic
party, we hope the Legislature will carry
out his recommendations to the letter. II
they do, the Charleston nominee wall carry
Ohio by triumphant majority.

Congress-.

There is no organization yet Of the House
OF Representatives, nor any likelihood Of
any within this month, unless very great
change shall soon take place 10 the disposi
tion of the members. Short, sharp speeches,
very 'disgraceful to those who make them,
and very expensive to the country, seem to
be the standing order. The last ballot-the
26th-fer Speaker, resulted as follows -

Ohio has uttered no menace Of disunion
when the American people have seen mt to
entrust the powers Of the Federal Govern
ment to citizens of other political views than
those of majority Of her citizens. No
threats Of disunion in 0 similar contingency
by citizens Of other States will excite in her
any sentiments suve those of sorrow and
reprobation. They will not move her from
her course. She will neither dissolve the
Union herself nor consent TO its dissolution
by others. ~,
Faithful TO the covenant of The ordinance,
she will resist the extensien OF Slavery;
confirmed in the principles ot the Constitu'
tion, she will oppose it's nationallzdtlon'-
True to the faith in which her youth wae
nuriured, and calm in the consciousness OF
her matured strength, she Will abide in the
Union, and, under the Constitution, main
tain Liberty.
Let us hope that good coUnsels may yet
prevail; that differences may be composed
by return to the faith of the Fathers, and
to the original policy Of the Republic; and
that our whole country, thus relieved from
existing causes of dissension, muy once
more present to the admiration OF the world
the spectacle OF a great and prosperous com.
munity OF United States protected in their
industry and defended in their rights by the
equal laws and impartial administration OF
Suite and Federal Governments. To this
end, at least, let no efforts OF ours be want.
