We copy from the correspondence of
the Cleveland Herald the following no
tice of our Representative:
There isl am sorry to say it--a con
flict, not :irrepressible." trust, between,
the two sections of the Republican party
in Ohio. One side are for all manner Of
concession, to appease the wrathful Cot
ton States; the other for adhering 10 the
constitution and laws, and not even SEEM
apg to eoncede an iota to armed rebels
against the Government.
On the 9Th bill, in the House, stig-
matized as Personal Liberty bill-as
we'll kill adog as give him a bad name
was killed as you would shoot a canine
trespasser. Yesterday Mr.. Monroe's
bill, which had passed the Senate at the
last session. came up in the House, to
prevent or punish kidnapping Of
course it was personal liberty bill
The debate on it occupied most Of the
afternoon session. The motion Was 10
postpone indefinitely. Col. Nigh, of
Lawrence, made perhaps the most bitter
speech against the bill and the fanatics
who promoted such measures.
The debate was quite general. Mr..
Plants, Of Meigs county, as think,
made the most note worthy speech Of
the day 1t was by no means set or
an ambitious effort. He deprecated any
hasty action-thought the bill ought to
be referred to the Committee on the Ju-
dietary, that they might examine the
laws and ascertain what further legisla-
tlon is needed. He would not have the
State Of Ohio, now even humble herself
to appease a rebellious State. If the
bill were required to protect inhabitants
Of the State he would have it passed, if
not, defeated But he would do nothing
under the influence of such a motive as
yielding to threats or fear. He called
the attention of Mr. Nigh to case in
his own (Lawrence) county, where free
colored family had been kidnapped and
sold into slavery, part of them still in
slavery and part, after struggles of
years, hauing recovered their freedom.
Mr.. Plants | reckon among the stro ng
men of the House.
