NO Credit Dlrc.

Some pcrs sons compliment the Ohio
Legislature for passing Resolutions in la
vor Of the Union and compromise be-
tween the North and South. We give
the Legislature no credit whatever for this.
There is a law on our StatEtc books de-
signed TO prevent the execution of the
Fugitive Slave Law. a bill is now
pending to repeal this Personal Liberty
Bill, or, as it is styled, "Au oct to pro
vent Kidnapping" and this bill was in.
definitely postponed about the time the
Union resolutions were passed. When
Ohio Is placed right before the country,
when the multiplying laws are repealed,
then, and not till then will we have con
filencc in the sincerity of the Legislature
in passing Union resolutions.
We want no such cowardly hypocrisy
no such deathbcd repentance, no sucl
proclamations of featy and devotion t'
the Union while the colored gentleman il
concealed in the fuel, as has characteriz
ed the Ohio Legislature in this instance
Let Ohio wash her hands of notification
repent in saclcloth and ashes of tho
wrongs she has perpotratcd upon th,
South in the name Of humanity and re
ligion, and then we will listen to assever
ations Of righteousness on the part Of on
Legislative soons..

Enlisted for the War.

1t is now pretty generally believed that
the "wide awakes" have enlisted for the
Republican war apon the South. We
understand that they have contracted will
one of our mercantile establishments for {
gallon of hogs fat whercwith to trim
their lamps.
They will be joined at Orrvillo by the
Ashtebuly peeled stick -sons-oi libertyanc
the Oberlnk African Linkun Guards.
Their supplies will come from the Re
earve, and will consist of dried cod fish
baked beans, cali runnets and dried appl,
pies. They will be furnished free ginger
bread, as usual, whenever the state o
their bowels will permit.

A Patriot orthc Right stamp.

Under this head the Savannah (Ga. J
Republican pays tho following deserved
tribute to the great statesman Of the West
--Stephen a, Douglas:
Senator Douglas has set noble cx
ample of disntereStcd patriotism to the
Northern politicians who arc standing in
the way of their country's peace. While
others arc holding back and quibbling
under the selfish protencc Of pride and
consistency, the Senator from Illinois has
the moral courage and manly patriotism,
to ignore himself and go alono for his
country. lie is reported to have said, at
n late meeting Of the Senate Committee
of Thirteen, that he was prepared to dc
anyMing which the necessities of the case
may require, without reference to any thing
he may have done, or any opinion he may
have advanced in the past. lie is moi
afraid to bc called inconsistent hc ha,
lollicr purposes than personal advance
mcnt when the Union is in danger. Were
a majority of Congress constituted Of sucl
men, every State would get her rights il
the Union, and we should have Univer.
sal peace in thirty days"

Fugitive Slave -Sfcnstb }
reaction i'm Pu bI ic Sentiment.

A fugitive slave was arrested in Clcve-
land on Saturday last. The negroes got
up considerable excitement, declared that
she should not be taken away and made
themselves noisy generally. After being
placed in the county Jail to await mn ex-
animation before the U. 5. Commissioner
she was brought before the Probate Judge
on writ Of dubeas corpus and after u
hearing was remandcd to Jail. Up to the
time Of our writing she has not been ex
amined before the Commissioner but there
is no doubt obout her being gwen up t'
her owner, as she has confessed to being
his slave, and the Cleveland papers say i
is the settled determination Of men Of al
parties that the law shall be enforced.

Praying for Dissolution.

On the day appointed Tor fasting and
prayer in view OF the alarming state OF
the Unior, Union sermon was preach
ed in Washingt IN, this county. After
tho sermon, n Mr. Mcfarland, of that
township, was requested to pray, and he
did prdy with all the zeal Imaginable, for
dissolution othe UaioRi if thereby slav-
cry would be abolished! The niQger was
uppcrmost in his thoughts, and all the
horrors oi civil war, the nrraying OF broth
cr against brother. in deadly strife, ant
the dismemLerment of Union fraught
with such untold blessings breaking
up OF society and Gatcrnal feeling, were
of tho smallest possible account when
weighed in the balance with the liberty of
the worthless Hegr0, who when free, is
generally charge. il not u curse to the
comnNuity in which he lives. This pray
cr for the aiQ9cr instead of for the Union,
took many of tho congregation back, it
was not exactly in accordance with tho
spirit Of the call

A PrptaiCfiOIB.

The New York independent, which
represents the religious fanatcism (the vi
tality) of Rcpublicanism, demands that
no concessions should be made in the
South, and, TO forti(y and justify its de-
mand, makes the following prediction:
"If the Republican party shall abandon one iota
of the principles declared in the Chicago platform
it it shall attempt new compromises with slave
~, 1T is doomed to disruption and dissolution"
Tho truth of this prediction is not
greater than the vile Sclishness Of the
motive which prompted its uscas an ar.
gument. What is the Republican party
or any party, when weighed against the
Union? not tho "dust of the balance. -
But the Union saved or the Union sever
ed, the doom of the Republican party /
sealed-ii it would mitigate the blacknes
of the infamy which will cloud its mem
ory hereafter, let its dying struggle be on
Of repentance and patriotism.

Gen. Jackson.

The republicans--.many ofwhom fought
the old Hero and Patriot with bitterness
unparalleled in political warfare until he
was carried to his grave--havc recently
become great admirers Of Gen. JACKSON,
and call upon the Dem ocratic party to aid
them in carrying out his policy in regard
to secession. These politicians seem to
know but little about the policy or opin-
ions entertained by Gen. JACKSON. Let
as see what tho old Patriot has written
upon the subject Of coercion. Here is an
extract from his farewell address:
'1f such struggle is once begun, and
the citizens Of one section of the country
are arrayed in arms against those of an.
other, in doubtful conflict let the battle
result as it may, there wiNJe an endto In
ion, and with it ends the hopes OF free
dom, The victory of the injured would
not secure to them tho blessings of liberty;
it would avengc their wrongs, but they
would themselves share in the common
| ruin.
"But the Constitution cannot be main
tanned, nor the Union preserved, in oppo
sition to public feeling by the mere exer
ton Of the c0ercive lower conlided to til,
general government The foundation
must be laid in the affections Of the pco
pie, in tho security it gives to life, liberty
property and character in every quarter Q
the country, and the iraternal Gttachmen
which tho citizens Of the several State
bear to one another MS members of on
political family, mutually contributing t
: promote the happiness of each other
Hence the citizens of every State shonl
= studionsly avoid everything calculated t
I wound the sensibilites or offend the jus
. pride of the people of other States; All
' they shonli irown uponevcry proceedin
within their own borders likcl ly to distur
: tile tranquility of their political brother
in other portions Of the Union.
"Motives of philanthropy may be Al
signed for this un warrantable interference
and weak men may persuade thcmsevc
that they are laboring in the cause of hi
Q manity, and asserting tho rights of Il
human race; but every one upon sob
reflection will see that nothing but mi
chief can come from these improper n
D sanlts upon the feelings and rights
& others. Rest assured that the men -four
it engaged in this work Of discord are n
II worthy of Your confidence and deser
your strongest ieprobation."

Preserving the Union by FOrcC--
Andrew jackson.

The Union of these States can not be
preserved by the "exercise of the coercive
powers coniided to the General Govern
mcnt." SO said Andrew jackson in his
farewell address to the American people
on the 4th of March, 1887 and the rea
son of all intelligent men acquainted with
the character and theory Of our Govern
mcnt at once assents to its coriec,ness.-
, 1t is because we know that resort to
fcrce to compel au unwilling State to io-
main in tho Union will completely destroy
and break IL up, as ucU as bring unnunI-
bcred epHS in its train, that we are oppos-
ell to it. That person who is in favor Of
coercion at the present time may think he
is fricnd to the Union; but the counsel
woulG come with better grace from its
worst enemy. "But ifyou will not em-
ploy force to keep the Union together,
then our Government is a mere rope OF
sand destitute of strength, liable to be
broken up at any time by the caprice OF
any of the States" say an objector No.
sir! we emphatically deny your deduction
from our position. Our Union has been
the strongest Government in the world,
because it has been based upon the ailec.
tion of the people to it. No government
is reuiiy strong, although it may appear
SO which rests upon any other foundation.
Suppose we should conquer { Juth Car
olina and half dozen other dlscontcnted
States, after q severe contest, would they
hereafter add any strength to the Uniont
Would not the people hate the Union and
hate us, and would they not watch for an
opportunity to do us injury? They
would not be in the Union as equal States,
but as subdued provinces, whom we
should have to rule by military force!--
What a commentary would such pro
ceedng be upon the liberal and democrat
ic character OF our institutions! How il
would iniure our influence abroad! The
very basis of our Union would be gone
and we should soon have despotsn
over its whole extent.
But we should not conquer in such
war We should fail, ignominiousl,
fail. The collision between the Genera
Government and any Southern State
would Immediately draw to the aid Of tn,
latter the whole of the slaveholding States
Motives of sympathy and feeling o
common interest would irresistably lead
to this result. The North, seriously di
vided as it is, can not subduc the whole
South. Nine millions Of American cti
zens fighting on their own soil and fol
their own Gresides, are nvncible. Grea
disasters and ruin would fall upon botl
sections, but the Union would not be pre-
served. 1t would be destroyed, never
again to be reunited. If we want to pre-
serve the Union, we must have concilia
ton and concession between all the mem
0 bers of it, and we must rely upon the al
\ fections of the people, and dismiss an.
. notion to resortng to force Cincinna'
En1utrer.

Repeal OF the Personal Liberty
Law.

We presume, from all tho information
we can obtain, that at least two.thirds of
the people Of this State are in favor of
the repeal of the personal liberty law
some because they believe it unconstitu-
tional others because they deprecate such
legislation as contrary to the spirit of our
national obligations; others as conces-
sion to the conservative sentiment of the
South, which appeals to us strongly for
aid in their efforts to preserve the Union;
and others, still, in order that Massachu-
sotts may stand before tho country with
out suspicion Of being unfaithfu to the
Constitution and the federal compact
Whether the present Legislature will re-
fleet the unmistakablc sentiment Of the
people remains to be seen. Its members
were elected when the repeal Of the law
was not in issue, and some Of them are
as likely to sympathize with the minor
ty as with the majority of their constit'
uents in this matter Yet there are few
we should hope, who would not defer tc
the opinions and wishes of the constitu
ency whose views they are supposed tC
represent, - Boston Journal, Rep.
