OHIO LEGISLATURE.
ADJOURNED SESSION.
IN SENATE.
WEDNEspAY, January 80, 1861.
AFTERNOON SESSION.

Mr. COX, in support OF his resolution, moved
substitute, and made the following points:
/. There are but two modes of reaching and
investigating the troubles of the country. The
one is the mode Of the secessionists, by calling
Irregular conventions and letting them assume
powers committed TO the Federal Government
as belonging to the States collectively. The
other is the constitutional mode, by action of
the proper and legitimate authorities.
BY the first mode, amendments to the Con-
stitution may be dictated in q revolutionary way;
by the second, they may be submitted to the
people in lawful way.
Q. The proposal of Virginia is substantially
the secessionist plan. 1t proposes Convention
whose action, If Of any authority at ell, will
supervene the course fxed by the Constitution,
by debating to Congress in advance what amend
ments shall be submitted TO the people.
3 Besides the foregoing objection the Conven.
tion 10 highly Objectionable for other reasons:
As called IL cannot be full representation of
the States. The day fixed for 1t by Virginia is
so early one that Il necessarily excludes all
distant States, especially California and Oregon
from participation, and practically excludes ma
ny others. II calls together at Washington an
the very time when the safety of tie Federal
strangers from the South should have pretext
for gathering there. II unreasonable and mad.
misseble propositions are insisted on by South.
ern Commissioners, the rejection of them will
give theopportunity which secessionists In Vir
ginia notoriously design, of exciting an attack
upon the Capitol before the 4th Of March.
4th. Our acceptance Of the invitation COM
mts us In honor to compromises by change of
tine Constitution in some form, and this we
ought not to consent to or even consider, until
the laws are so far respected that the new ad-
ministratlon is peaceably inaugurated
5th. The only question between the States
Is, shall the iasjorlty In the legitimate means
provided BY the Constitution, control the policy
Of the country, or shall armed rebellion dictate
to the victorious majority constitutional changes
which shall guarantee TO the minority the con.
troll which majorites have hitherto exercised;
In other words, shall the fundamental principle
Of our Republican government be aubverted7
