The following message from the Governor

In referred to, was laid before the Senate:
THE STATE OF OHIo, EXECUTIVE DEPlRTMEsT,i
COLUMBUS, Jan, 25, 1861. !
To The General Assembly Of Ohio:
| transmit to you herewith copy Of pream
BILE and resolutions adopted by the General As
sembly of Virginia on the l9.h mat, relating
to the condition Of the country, and among 9th
er things, proposing the holding OF OOnveu
ton in tho city of Washington, on the b.
proximo, to be composed OF Commissioners ap-
pointed by the several States
The resolutions further submit, NJ pro-
gramme for the adjustment of the existing un-
happy differences, "the propositions embraced
in the resolutions presented to the Senate Of the
United States by the Hon John J Critiendcn
so modified as that the first article proposed az
an amendment to the Constitution OF the United
States shall apply to all territory Of the United
States, nov held or hereafter acquired South o.
latitude thirty six degrees and thirty minutes
and provide that slavery OF the African rac'

during the cOntinuanc6o Of the territorial gov.
ernment; and the fourth article shall secure Il
the owners of elavfs the right Of transit will

holding States and territories
While a regard for the iraternal relations tina
have so long eubsisted between the citizens o
the different States, and the cheerful recogni-
tion of that comfy between them which has al
ways been justly esteemed gs one OF the strong
est ties Of union, render it emiuen,ly proper
that the invitation Of Virginia 10 her sistel
States to meet in Convention for the purpose in
dicated, should be accepted by this State, fee
1t to be due to the people OF Ohio, and to ou
Of all the States, to frankly say
that the proposed terms of adjustment are, In my
Judgment, inadmissiDle.
In submitting this important subject to thu
wisdom OF the General Assembly can but ex
press my profound regret, that in these sugges
ti6ns from the State of Virginia, which had 81
large share in forming the present constitu.
tion and which has had larger aud moro con-
slant influences in the administration of ou
government under it, than any other State, shl
omite TO encourage our reliance upon the consti
tuition as it is and apparently deems il neces
sary to adjust our views in regard to territor
not yet acquired, before the great interests O
the country can find repose from the trouble
concerning that which now belongs to US.

Mr. MONROE regarded the message, and
he resolutions of the Virginia legislature as
matters Of grave moment. He desired TO dC
in the premises requiredby courtesy
At the same time he felt that matters we're en-
Draced which should not be disposed OF hastily
He therefore moved the message and documents
be laid on the table for printing, and that the
printing of them be done in advance of Other
printing.
Mr.. HARRISON aceeded to the motion, but
Iaid he was prepared to act now. 1t is mat
er OF serious Importance, and after what we
have seen OF the efforts of the eminent men oil
he border states in congress to preserve the
Union, Ohio should omit no effort to meet her
sister states TO restore peace to the distracted
