whether our constituency are prepared to resist
traitors or not. Away with such imbecility and
cowardice!
The threat was arrogantly made at the Con-
federate Capital, noe ten days ago, that the rebel
flag would shortly wave over the broken walls
of Fort Sumter and over the Capitol at Wash
iDgton. The first part Of that threat has been
realized, aud we do not know how soon the 9th.
er will be attempted.
The voice of the people Is for the protection OF
the government, and we as their representatives
ought at once to put the State in a position OF
vigorous hostility to treason.
Mr. REISINGER said he voted against the
suspension Of the rule; but If good reasons bad

most cheerfully.
Mr.. NIGH said be had refused yesterday to
vote for reference Of the bill as hasty, but the
twenty hours past had developed reasons for
acting now. He thought the duty OF the
House required that the rule should be suspend.

consent to do so.

one who was hasty In actieD; but he felt the
importance of prompt and decisive action now.
He lived as far from his constituents as any
other one here, but hs constituents had alreaoy

Mr.. A. said he cared little about the eplthets
th.se crszed gentlemen used lit was wrong 10
hold lunatics to accountability The measure
before the House was the most important one
ever before the General Assembly Of Ohio
it was not to provide for mastering troops into
ssrvce-it was to appropriate a million Of dol
lars for the expenses of war. The President
had made arequisitlon for thirteen regiments of
forcss upon the State Of Ohio. He cid not ask
of US q dollar of money, 30 that a few days
time can, In no possible event, make any differ

soldiers.
In 1876 in the month of June, a requisition
was made on Ohio for three regiments OF troops.
The call vas Immediately responded to-the
forces In few days we're on the march to Mex

State Treasury. The Federal Governments paws

nevertheless, he was willing to vote for supplies
IN advance, but thought constitutional rules
ought not be disregarded in doing so.

are imperative; and we cannot shirk the respon.
sioility from our shoulders. Every one knOgs
the intention of the Confederate States, that it
looks directly to the invasion Of the Federal
Capital. The teiegrams to-day tell US that J, e.
Davis is to make Richmond the head quarters
of the army he Is about to gather around him.
He could have no other purpose than its con-
quest. i that comes, what will be our situa-
