CLEVELAND, Jan. Tho Legislature met at
Columbus to-day. Governor Dennison's Mes
sago Ia long document, occupied mainly with
State affairs. He recommends more effective
Organization Of militia, the organized militia
numbering only about 200 men. The unor'
ganized force is estimated ut 285, 600. No
speciM prominence Is given to this subject.
The Governor argues at some length In defence
Of bis course in refusing the requ1sltions Of the
Governors OF Kentucky and Tennessee for
persons accused Of aiding In the escape OF fu-
Etive slaves; dissusses the Secession ques-
ton, denying the right Of any State to 8ecede
at pleasure, and affirming TINT Ohio remains
loyal to the Union aud Constitution. He sug-
geats the repeal Of the obnoxious features Of
the Fugitive Slave Law, and the repeal of any
personal liberty bills subversiye OF the Fugi-
tive Slave Law would thus be secured ; at the
same time Southern States should repeal laws
In contrayention to the constitutional rights of
the citizens Of the free States, who cannot be
satisfied with less, and who will insist On their
constitutional rights In every State and Terri
tory in this onfsderacy. These they cheer
fully accord to citizens of Southern States.
He fs determined to do no wrong, and will
not contentedly submit to any wrong. I'm
aWed By threats, be will demand the employ
ment Of all the constitutional powers Of the
Fcderl Government to maintain andpreserve
the Union Rejecting the whole theory of
State secession as pa1pable violation of the
Constitution, ho cannot consent to exercise
any power under it's sanction. The integrity
Of the Union, its oneness and indivisibility,
must be preserved.
