Our Columbus letter, published In

Our Columbus letter, published in to'day's
paper, is decidedly interesting. It will be
seen that the Ohio legislature is unit upon
the important question of sustaining the Ad-
ministration in every effort of enforcing the
laws and maintaining the Federal Government
in its integrity. The eighIh resolution, es-
pecially, embodles laneu 'ge that speaks the
sentiments Of every lover of the Union in the
State and, il found necessary, we have lit
tie doubt as TO the promptuess Of the people
in making the pledge good. New York re-
Gently spoke in the sans decisive manner
and every loyal State Of the Union will un-
douetedly soon follow suit. II is high time
these disunion rebels were brought to an un-
derstanding o. the fatal result their madness
is leading them to.

Secession Diplomacy.

The new scheme started by the secession
ists to avoid a collision about the revenue, is
to declare their ports free to the commerce OF
the world raise their revenues by direct tax
atoh, and leave the United States and for
eign Governments to fight ont the question
Of the collection OF the revenue. An agent.
il is said, is about to go to Europe to arrange
the details Of this notable scheme, and the
Manchester and Birmingham U,cn will per-
haps, be played upon TO induce Great Britain
to acknowledge the independence of the south
ern Corfcderacy. The seizure of the North
Carolina forts is but a part of the plan to oh
tain possession of all the Southern fortifca-
tons, which will be attempted in all the
Southern States. The forts at Old Point
Comfort, in Virginia, it is said, will shortly
be assaied, and in anticipation of such an
attempt, the Government is taking active
measures for their security.

MARKETS.
Financial and Commercial.


The money market in Cincinnati isinavery ''straight"
condition. and continues remarkable stringent. Bankers
are discounting very cautiously, and but little of the
paper that Is offered is accepted There is general
want of confidence all around Money is abundant with
all houses and they disposed to keep it just now
The same may be said of monetary affairs in New York
Grain and provisions are dull, and have downward
tendency. ..
In the hog market, at Toledo but little was doing on
Monday. Some fine hogs were sold there during the
week at rates averaging from 51a to 6}4c per pound
Nothing doing in flour or grain.
At Pcrrvsburg the markets. generally dull, and but
very l, grain has been received during the past week
Uucurren, money is still heavy, merchants preferrng
not to discount when they get straight funds. We

Through the influence of Southern U, $.
Senators, many Southern forts belonging to
the Government have been seized by the reb.
els, and yet these traitors are allowed to SO
unpunished. Some Of them have even went
60 far as to send special dispatches to their
respective States, with orders to seize the
public properly which have been promptly
carried ou'--hus rebellion. is being openly
counsoled against the very Government they
have taken solemn oath to protect. If some

washinaton Items.

A correspondent Of the Cincinnati Gazette
writes, under date Of the iith inst, that It is
undoubtedly the purpose Of the South to seize
the Capital at some time piior to, or on the
4th Of March. This, IL 10 true, Is revival OF
previous reports, but the information is now
10 such shape that Northern members of
Congress consider II their duty TO look the
danger fairly in the face, and adopt such
measures as may be within their re, ch. A
secret society exists throughout the south for
this purpose, and the secessionists, having
control Of the telegraph and railroad, they
can pour in large force upon the Capital at
short notice, and with scarcely possibility
Of their movements being reported to the au-
hories here in advance. The Federal troops
now in this neighborhood, or to arrive, will
not, il Is believed, prove sufficient to prevent
the proposed attack, and parties who are now
looking into the matter, place little reliance
in the military organic atoms Of the District.
The matter has assumed such a serious char
acter, and there being no doubt about the
magnitude and progress Of the plot, the facts
will be formally laid before Gen Scott this
afternoon. As matters ! ow stand, the pub
lie property here is not protected at all, and
n few hundred men could take possession of
every building in the city.
The fact that Southern mombers Of Con
gress have been sending home their wives
and daughters until few now remain, is regard
ed as indicative that n conflict il expeottd -
There are not now over one hundred lady
boarders at the three principal hotels. Al

through at all hazards. They had hopeC
that the revolution would be bloodless one
and since the change in the policy of the Ad
mIl istration, they are excessively bitter il
their denuncation of Mr. Buchanan. Jefrcr-
eon Davis appeal for peace, shows that they
expected to obtain the quiet possession of al
the Federrl property, and that the Southern
Uonfrdcracy would be sci up without anne,

The Lemmon slave Cnse.


The issue involved in this case is simply
whether sovereign State has the right to
exclude slavery. Il will soon come up
in the United States Supreme Court for ad
Indication, and we Learn that the entire
Southern bar are interested in the case. Vir-
ginia has feed counsel to contest the matter,
and daily consultations are had over the
grounds Of argument to be assumed by JON
athan Lemmon, the claimant of the slaves
voluntarily brought into a free State by him.
The opposite side of the case will be conduct
ed by such men as VIM. G. Noyes, David
D. Field and VIM NJ. Evarts. The Boston
AA0S says:
Let every lawyer of Republican proclivi
ties and any attalnments make up brief in
the Lennon case and send it to Mr.. Noyes,
Mr.. Eyarts, or Mr.. Field setting out his views
Of the lire of argument to be pursued. These
hints and suggestions SO sent may not be used,
but at leajt will give moral courage to the
advocates OF the cause better than any weeks
labor on the case.
The facts are these. Lennon brings
slaves from Virginia to New Y ork IN tfdnSit1
for T,Xts. The slaves are set free by the
Superior Court on hd6eas corpus The law
question of course is this Has a slaveholdej
transporting his slaves from one State to an
other, right to carry them through free
State without law of the free State express
ly authorizing it?

Free Labor.

The working men in all parts of this couu-
hy, constitute in it power, the interests of
which should be duly regarded and consulted,
1t is plain enough TO the most feeble mind
that if voluntary free labor is right-founded
upon right principle--that involuntary and
unpaid labor is not. None see this more for
cibly than white working men at the South,
who are daily and radically affected by the
competition of slave labor Working men Of
all parties should see this fact, so vital to their
interests. and act accordingly, 1t Itis,atleast,
amatter for earnest thought, by all classes,
as with the interests Of free labor. in the free
States, we are all intimately connected,

Buchnnnn aud thc Commissioners.

The correspondence between Buchanan
and the South Carolina Commissioners, fur

When Baron de Kalb met General Marion,

1t was:
"The people of Carolina form two classes
the rich and the poor. The poor are very
poor: the rich who have slaves to do all their

in brandy--not in books aud newspapers:
