How is il that, in 1913, iu the Ohio
Legislature, you voted for tho following
Joint resolution (soe House Journal,

"ReSoiued, By the General Assembly
Of the State of Ohio, that the provisions
Of the ordinance of Congress fonc thou

far as The same relates 10 slavery SHOULD
NJ EXTENDED To ANY TERRITORY THAT MAY
nE ACQUIRED FROM MEXioo, by Treaty or
oiherpise," (I6 Vol. Ohio Laws, page
3ti.)
Now, ir Congress had the power then
to prohibit slavery in tho territories, has
Il any less power to.duyl and again, why
do you denounce Republicans for Odvo-
,cntina the very same principles, which
you and your parry advocated m re4cUuu
which you have most shOmofully abun-

ciples and sold out to the South and now
you call us Abolt'onists and negro-wor.

principles you held in ls4sl

completely faced about on the slavery
question, tho following resolution was
adopted by five successive democratic
state Conventions in Ohio, prior to 1863;

COas, Survey, in charge of the Brig r. H.
FaHnilsroy, now surveying at Gray's Har-
Dor, has been in town during the past week
From him we are enabled to CLEAN the fol-
lowing items Of information connected with
that interesting locality, hitherto compara-
lively unknown to most Of our readers. 1t
is known to all that a military post has
been recently established there in command
of Capt MALoNEY Of the 4th Infantry
Col. MCKEE, sutler Of said post, has estab-
lished in the vicinity Of the site of the post,
a large store, and has recently received q
considerable consignment aDd stock of
goods, per schooner CatHEet, from Port.
land, which arrived on Monday the 18th
inst. -
Mr.. Lawson states that the entrance to
Gray's Harbor is excellent, fully equal to
Uumpqua Bar aud compares favorably with
Humboldt Bar at the time Of its survey
few years since. 1t is proper to remark,
however, that the latter has considerably
improved, its bar being changing one
The brig FdaHtleroy carried two and half
fathoms over Gray's Harbor bar at low
water. The channel is straight and well
marked by breakers on the north and south
spits. The best anchorage is in what is
known as South Bay" The currents in
the Harbor run very strong, the two spits
north and south Of entrance, being very
low, afford no protection against winds from
the ocean, and u fresh wind from any quar-
ter soon creates a short, choppy, disagree
able sea.
On Friday night, May 4th, the brig lost
both anchors by very heavy rip or bore of
the tide. One Of the anchors has since
been recovered, aud strong hopes are en-
tertained of securing the other. At that
time the brig was anchored OF McKee's
store or landing, bat soon after she was re-
moved TO South Bay, where she has laid
since, finding excellent anchorage.
This seasons work will embrace the tri-
angulation Of the whole Harbor, and de-
tailed typographical survey of its entrance
The Coast Survey Steamer Aetire will
follow and execute the photography of the
entrance and harbOr, as soon as sufficient
data are determined by Mr. Lawson and
the party under bis charge.

18th Of July, to make an observation of
the eclipse Of the sun, to take place on that
day. Mr. Lawson will make the observa-
