The oppoSitous Of certain demo-
cratic members of the General Assembly
Of the State of Ohio TO tho War Bill has
brought down the indignation Of the
loyal citizens in way not soon to be for

Of the Bill, and creating a most danger
Gus and unwholesome moral etlect. The
opposition was prompted in part by de-
sire 10 stab the measure 10 tie hlart. but

large majority OF these thir'y-eight
democrats opposed the Bill for the pur-
pose indi ated, and for thus doing, ought

by their constituents, some few cast their
votes against it for an Honorable and COM
