Relrcnc,,iment and Reform.

During the campaign last fall the
.watchword of the Republicans, in every
part OF the State, was "RetreRchmea and
Reform" They asked the people to
place the legislation of the State in their
bands, and that the happiest results would
follow. They promised that there should
be no adjourned session; that the taxes of
the people should be reduced; the public
burdens lightened; all the leaks in the
treasury stopped; and all useless offices
abolished, and the public expenditures re-
trenched. Promises like these were made
by every stump politician from Governor
Chase down to Corwin who took care OF
the baggage. The Republican press rang
with pledges Of "Retyenchmem and Re
torn,' and the people did return a de-
cided majority of Republicans to both
branches of the legislature. That body
met on the % January and adjourned on
! the 26th March, to meet again on the first
Monday of January next. The members
! left here for their homes last Tuesday
morning, and to-day each and all of
them are again moving among their
constituents What sort Of an account
can they render in view of their pledges
Have they fulfilled them ? Not one
Never were any people so grossly deceiv
ed cheated and defrauded as the people of
Ohio have been by this Republican Leg
isature. Not a single promise has been
fulfilled. Men who pledged to the people
"Retrenchment and Reform" when seek
ing their votes scoifed at the mention of
any thing of the sort when here in the
Legislature, and even declared that the
thing was bald humbug-that it was
impossible to introduce any retrenchment
into the Public Expenditures, or reform
any of the existing abuses. The people
who have been deceived and their inter-
ests wholly neglected, should demand
from their servants q strict account
They should know why the Public Bur
dens have not been lightened; why appro-
priations were made for large sums be-
yond the ammount that will be derived
from revenue from all sources; why the
Taxes were increased; why all promises
have been violated And the answers
from these faithless representatives should
be carefully scanned by the people, and if
not sufficient and satisfactory, the mem
berS should be consigned to the condem-
nation appropriate to such conduct Who
can doubt the fathleSsness Of the Reprb-
+ lican party after the conduct of the late
General Assembly p Statesman.

The Lcgisinture---Fhe Canals.

The Ohio Legislature adjourned at >
o'clock on Tuesday morning last, after
postponing until next winter the proposl-
ton to lease the canals for term of ten
years, at an annual rent of $50, 900, all
to be paid within the first twenty months
of the lease The refusal to accept this
proposition, will render necessary the
payment of taxes another year to keep the
canals in repair. Had the lease been made,
all the Canal Collectors would have lost
their offices inasmuch rs the collection of
tolls would have been managed by the
Company who took the lease, This would
have been bad affair for the hungry tribe
of Republican officials, -Necark Advo-

DANGEROUS RESULTS OF VAocINATroN

DANGEROUS Results OF VACCINATION.
Five men were vaccinated in Boston,
last week, with matter obtained from d
scab taken from the arm of child of an
acquaintance, but the matter having been
exposed to the air three or four days be-
fore it was used, the result was that in
every case the arm of the subject became
to inaame and feel sore within an hour
after they were innoculated. The imAam-
nation continued, and their arms were
swollen to twice their natural size. For
several days the lives Of the patients were
despaired of, but they have, with one ex-
ception recovered. In that case the pa
tient is still in a precarious condition.
The vaccination was performed by the
father of the child, and not by physi-
clan.

what the Correspondents say.

what the Correspondent Say.
We make the following extracts from the
Washington correspondence of the Cinein-
matt Gazette and Commercial and Louisville
Journal to show the range of the feeling at
the seat of the Federal Government
The Gazette's correspondent says:
During the last two days there has been a
J very perceptible improvement in the state
( OF feeling here, in regard to the Union. At
the present writing, this seems to he some
thing more than one of those occasional
changes, up and down, which have thus far
characterized the session The speeches Of
Senators Crittenden, Hale, and johnson of
Tennessee, and the doings of the Honse, all
give courage and an unusual degree OF
cheerfulness to those who have been appre-
henslve Of violent dissolution.
Andy Johnson concluded his speech in
favor Of Union and coercion to-day. It was
a noble effort.
1t has produced the greatest exitement
and Indignation among extreme Southern
men, who denounce him as a traitor, and
even propose to hang him when they can
get chance.
Mr. Pugh attacked Mr. Wade's position Of
the other day. and defended the resolutions
of Mr.. Crittenden Mr. Pugh's position
upon the latter confirms the statement that
Mr.. Douglas aided in the proposition OF,
and viii support those resolutions. Mr.
Douglas and Mr. Pugh are always together
upon public questions.
Letters received here by Northern mem
bers are generally strongly opposed to com
promising with the Secessionists.
The Commercials correspondent says:
The point in the Senate to-day, was a lit
tie speech by Senator Trdmbull, on Clark
resolution asking information from the |
President about the Charleston fortifcauous /
Trambuli was supposed to indicate LiHcoIn's |
views. He said in reply to Davis ''Coerc- I
ing State is an artful snare, and fallacious I
as the phrase, rights Of the States in Terri /
tories. States have no rights in Territories. /
Territories are the property of the @. S.
Government. We don't promise to coerce q
State, but will punish rebellious citizens.
The Journals correspondent says:
