THE OHIO LEGISLATURE.

After the close OF our report of Monday q
proceedings, the SENATE held an evening ses-
sion, at which Mr.. Kenny concluded his able
an poy erful speech against the policy Of the
Administration. During the delivery of the
speech, large audience of ladies and gentle.
men gas present, and during the evening the
lobby was full. After Mr. Kenny had conclud.
ed, Lieut.. Gov. Stanton got the floor and said
he had nothing to take back or explain away
from his speech in Congress, wherein be aaid
he would be willing to let the South 60, when
1t appeared that any respectable number Of the
States desired to secede. He did explain it,
however, by saying that the condition of the
country had changed, and he had taken the
advice of Paloniaus to his son-"Be slow t.
engage In quarrel, but when In so conduct
yourself as TO make your adversary beware Of
you" The Governor made q lengthy argu-
ment to show. that the Southern Democracy
had for years been lsboring to bring about a
dissolution of the Union.
The Sena, took recess until nine O'Clock
Tuesday morning. At that time Mr.. Finck
took the floor, and showed that the gentleman
who had spoken after him, failed to answer the
arguments which be had made and substantial
cd by irresistible authorities, that private prop
erty was not to be taken by belligerents, that
slaves were universally regarded as property,
and that the contending parties 10 this country
were belligerents. He also showed that the
Republican cry Of union of all parties for the
sake Of the country was merely political clap
trap and sham. He showed, too, that Gov
Stanton had not explained the inconsistency in
bis position on the war.
Mr.. Welsh read speech on the subject, and
Mr.. Eggleston made an argument, when the
consideration Of the resolutions was postponed
until Wednesday, March 4th. t

NoNE but q physician knows how much a
reliable aIteratiue is needed by the people On
oil sides of us, in all communities everywhere
there are multitudes that suffer from complaint,
that nothing but On dlteratiue cures. Hence a
great many of them have been made and put
abroad with the assurance Of being effsctual.-
But they fell to accomplish the cures they
promise because they have nat the intrinsic
virtues they claim. In this state of the case,

which does prove to be the long desired RENE

The Spring Elections-The Duty of the
Hour.

On the fret Monday of April next, the an
nual township and municipal elections will
take place in Ohio; and it is important that the
Democratic party should with zeal and energy
discharge its duty in relation to them. With
out delay il should organize and prepare for the
contest. On all occasions aud in every locality,
it should bring out its strongest and most faithful
men as candidates, and take care to use all
fair and honorable means to elect them. Per.
feet harmony should prevail and full vote be
polled. II is of the utmost Importance that
the friends of the Uni0n and the Constitution
should be thoroughly aud perfectly y organized
and united, and that every voter opposed 10 the
corruptions and usurpstions of the party in
power should be at the polls. ALI conserva-
tive Union loving men, no matter what may
have been their former party associations,
should join the Democracy and act and vote
with them in these times of public danger. If
our Government is saved the Democracy must
save it, and the initial point to that great and
glorious work, is through the ballot box, in
minor as we'll as the more important elections.
To work, then, friends of the Union, and pre-
pare for the spring elections.

That miserable old disunionist, THAD. SrEv-

of the country, new incentive to assail Gen.
MCCLELLAN, by digging out of the files OF the

furnished him by STANTON or HALLEcK-and
reading In Congress, letter from Gen. ScoTT
to SIMON CAMERON, dated October a, 1861, com
planning that Gen. MoCLELLAN had disobeyed
orders, and instead of communicating with
Gen. So,rr, made his communications direct to
the President and the head Of the War Depart
ment. The fact was so, but it turned out that
MoCLrLLAN did this because commanded to dc
40, by Arm LINCOLN and SIMON CAMERON, and
the matter was understood and so explained al
the time. Indeed Gen. ScorT was aware OF II
when he made complaint, and his letter was in
tended more as arebuke to the irreg gularity thu'
inaugurated by the President and Secretary Of
War. than censure of Gen. MCMILLAN
STANTON, HALLEcK and THAD. STEVENS, know
the facts, and yet with hope of iDjuting Nc
CIELLAN, they parade the letter referred to be
fore Congress and give 1t to the country. Th'
best reply to oil this is brief paragraph from
the Presidents Message to Congress at the be
ginning of the session in December following
In speaking Of the appointment Of Gen. Nc
CLrILAN to succeed Gen. sooTT, the Presiden
says:
With the retirement Of Gen. Scott came th
Executive duty of appointing in his etead a Gen
eral in Chief of tho army. 1t is fortnnst
circumstluce that ueither Ia council nor countr
was there, so far as know, any difference o

The retiring chief repeatedly expressed hi
i Judgment in favor of Gen Mcclellan for th
position, and in this the nation seemed to Civ
a unanimous concurrence!
