Ohio Commissioners

The Commissioners applin ted by Gov.
DennisOn, 10 represent Ohio in the Conven-
ton held at Washington on the 4th inst,
in response to the call of Virgin MIA, are
thus spoken of by the Ohio State Journal.
Gov. Chase is identified with the Repub-
Iicanisn not only Of Ohio. but of the entire
West. as its leading exponent. and its bold.
est and fearless advocate and defender.
Vim. 5. Groesback. of Cincinnati. is a
Democrat. possessing the entire confidence
Of his party; a gentlemen of eminent legal
and scholastic attainments. and of consid.
cradle legislative experience.
Thomas Ewing's name has been for many
years a household word throughout Ohio /;
nor is it an unknowl or an unhonored name
throughout the Union. Mr.. Ewing is not
distinctly a Republican. He is the most
eminent representative of the conservative
sentiment Of our State; although differing
with him in more than one political issue.
all parties have entire confidence in his de-
yotion to the Union. his sincere patriotism
ana integrity OF purpose.
John C. Wright. of Cincinnati. is a
favorable representative of the hardy pio-
neers who laid deep and broad the founda-
tons of on Stat prosperity. Thoush well
advanced in years, age has tempered. but
not impaired, the vigor which has made
his career so useful and so honorable. For
many years he was a member of Congress;
afterwards he was a judge of the supreme
Court. and still later he rendered most
efficient service to his country and the old
Wing party as editor of the Cincinnati
Gazette, from which paper he retired 4 few
years since.
+. I. Backus, Of Clcveland. has been
classed as a conservative Republican. He
a high reputation as one of the lead
ing lawyers and most substantial citizens
of Northern Ohio.
V. Horton. of Meigs county. is also a
conservative. but is reliably devoted to Re-
publican principles. He is the member
elect to Congress from his district. having
overcome the usually large Democratic ma
jori y therein. and secured an election by
quite as large a Republican majority. He
is a man Of pluck. of sound sense, and clear
conviction. Heis one of the ablest business
men in the State, and largely interested in
the commercial and manufacturing enter
prises of Southeastern Ohio.
Reuben Hitchcock. of Geauga. is of good
stock, being the son of Peter Hitchcock, for
many years one of the ablcst judges that
ever sat upon the Supreme Bench of Ohio,
and he is the worthy descendant of such a
father. He is earnestly attached to the prin-
which triumphcd in the election of
Abraham Lincoln. and VIC have the conf
dence that he will be the last to surrender
them. by any dishonOrable compromise
Yet he has never been known as a violent
partizan. He has mingled little latterly
in political affair.". having devoted his en-
in the practice of his profession

Columbus Correspondence
CoLuMsus Cd February. 18s.

IoLCAsCS, I'd February, 1861.
My Dear CAronick-A week of ire
prssible conflict, a week too, of confusion
and uncertainty among profcsscd Repub-
Iicans, many of them seeming bewildered
BY the troubles of the country, and ready
to follow any willo'the-Bisp in hope it
would lead them out, when in fact they
we're only lead deeper into the bog. The
first question Of the week was the Virgin
ma Convention.
Virginia invited all states DESTROYS of
restoring" the Union by adequate guar
antics" to slavery extension, to meet by
commissioners at Washington on Monday
next, the 4th inst. to consider what amend
ments to the Constitution, calculated to
give the guarantee required, shall be
submitted by Congress to the people.
The Republicans of the Legislature held
q caucus on the subject, on Monday night
last; and by almost a tic Eete. decided to
favor the sending of commissioners. but to
insist that no meeting should be held till
4th April. and that the Virginia PROPOSE
tion Of compromise wouldn't do.
The uext day, however, the nouse of
Representatives, got into a glorious Union
Saving mood, and forgetting all about their
caucus plan. part Of the Republicans Eeut
pell.mell with the Democrats not only for
,he commission, but without any ~restric-
ton a. to the time Of meeting. and a nom
inal Republican proposed David Tod,
Grocsheck. Thomas Ewing. and Judge
Swan as four out of five members Of the
convention. and q half dozen such nomin-
ais actually put that ticket through tho

Ohio Commissioners to the Border State
Convention.

Of the debate in the Ohio State Senate,
upon the bill to serd commissioners from
Ohio to a Border State Convention. at the
suggestion of Virginia. the Columbus Cor
respondent of the Cleveland Herald, thus
writes:
In Senate. the speech of Mr.. Cox of
Trumbull, began in the morning. drew a
large. crowd to the afternoon sitting. /
can do him no justice in a synopsis. 1t
was a compact argument against the whole
measure, elegantly pronounced. To at
tempt writing out portions from my imper-
feet notes would rot be satisfactory to your
readers or myself. He occupied more than
an hour. Very few speakers can retain
the attention of a large audience as he did
for more than an hour. Among the atten-
tive listeners was Gov. Chase. of whose
views of the question l have no informl-
ton.
Mr.. Garfield followed in . few remarks.
He proposed to amend the resolutions so as
to provide for po~stponing the action of the
Commis sioners to be chosen, until after the
4th of March. He wished first to see
LincolH inaugurated. Virginia, who in
vitcd this Convention, had menaced the
Capital and threatened that Lincoln should
not be i~naugurated. Space is limited. and
my time tonight no less so. bIr. Garfield
occupied but = few minutes, but uttered some
very sharp things
Mr.. Harrison. by way Of reply. read a
speech of Mr.. Garfield, at Louisville, last
winter. in which he expressed the attach
ment of Ohio to Kentucky and the Union.
Harrison is a capital reader. and the speech
which he read was one hat furnished a
good chance for good reading. His sonorous
voice and fine intOnations were very effect
i've.
Mr.. Garfield said he ought to thank the
Senator from Madison for reading that
speech. He had never expected to hear it
pronounced SO well and before 30 large an
audience.
He reminded Mr.. H. that he. H., with
all his attachment and devotion to the
Union, was one of those who voted aoainst
the appropriations for that State festival.
when the representatives of three States
met here to cultivate fraternal relations
1t was an apt hit.
The resolutions amended so as to author
lie the Governor to appoint the Commits
siOners, and to give definite expression to
the views of this State against the Virginia
basis, and in favor of the Constitution as
it is. were finally passed.
The amendments of the Senate were con-
CURED in by the HOUSE. J

SAVANNAH AMI CHARLEsToS.-We are
Informed that a significant caricature is ex-
hibited in the shop windows of Savannah,
Georgia. 1t represents the Constitution as
a COW, with South Carolina pulling at the
tail, the animal threatening to kick that
State into the Atlantic ocean if it does not
stop; while Georgia. meanwhile is cody
clinging to. the udders. The Georgian
have too much worldly wisdom to place
their commerce beyond the protection of the
federal powers. and no doubt smile COM
placently as they see the South CarOlinians
turning all the trade over to them. A
Boston paper states that a gentleman from
Savannah, now in tqat city, asserts that
since the secession of South Carolina. the
business of Savannah has increased amax-
ingly.-[New York Post.

Waterman, What of the NIGHT

Thick clouds obscure the rational hOri-
con, and the few stars whose light breaks
through the gloom, ghmmer but family.
The southern sky is overcast with dense
b!acknesS relieved only ky tie lurid light
of the lightning's fash. while at the north
the heavy grey clouds, behind which
CLEAN the nOrthers lights, are none the
less dangerous, because there no muttcring
thuaaer is hears. II may yet be that all
the vapOrs that now hide the sun, will
quietly disperss and that again its rays
may shine upon an unbrOken Union, upon
. country uuscathed by civil war, and IN.
polluted By brothers, blood. But if this
may not be, and the atmosphere is 50 cur
dargcd with nOxious vapor, that nothing
but a storm will purify it, then, We know
that when the struggle of the elements
shall como, that before the fierce northern
blast which viii sweep down from the snow

Mountains and the Idriocdack, the ice bound
shores of Northern Lakes, and tie bleak
hills of the upper Mississippi. that fog and
mist, and clouds will be driven far down
into the Gulf of Mexico, and again the
skies above us will be bright and clear
True the tempest will not PASS over and

that to abandon Fl. Sumpter, give half
the navy to South Carolina and half the
territories, would be no dose at all to take.
The caucus action having been broken
up in the House, it was every man for him
self in the Senate. Those who we're anx-
ious to get intensely conservative men on
the commission wanted to have the COM
mission elected in joint convention by the
Legislature, and would have carried it.
but for the casting vote of the Lieutenant
Governor. A resolution i~nstructing the
commissioners not to 60 into convention
till after the inauguration of Eineoln and one
declaring against the policy of the cOnven-
ton, were adopted. The appointment of
the commissioners was however given to

The next bolus for the sick patient was
q bill to punish any person who should aid

was to be the penalty. Again the nomin-
