MY DEAR CHRONICLE:-MaglnnlS - ID
trouble. Public events have culminated
so fast in the last week that man who
was not born on the Western Reserve
ought to go crazy if ne could be previous
ly informed that he would be employed
as Clerk at Salary of l.50O year, IN
Lunatic Asylum. The Great question in the
last week has been shall Andrew johnson
be endorsed, don't know whether A. j.
knows it or not. have no doubt that
A. J. has great confidence in Maginnis,
for he has on more than one occasion 50
expressed himself, but has Maginnis con-
fdence in Al. Maginnis has two no
tions-or, to dignity them, he viii call
them IDEAS, that resolutions of endorse
ment should be explicit. e. A. j. sober
or A. ]. disguised; or to make it still
more plain. let it be Andrew johnson or
Apple Jack. Upon either one of these
propositions Maginnis Is ready TO Vot9-,b a
Par pqrsnthesis. will mention that on
Friday night last, the Union Caucus met
and unanimously adopted the following
resolution. --s
ResOlusd, That in the action of the I'm
ion Representatives in Congress, we rec
ognize an exposition Of our principles that
made US a party and saved our country
through the late rebellion, and we now
tender such Representatives our hearty
support.
To show how the matter of Andrew
johnson seems as viewed from various
standpoints, I give the following proceed
ings. -E t-er
Mr.. Beer (Dem. of Crawford) offered for
adoption the following resolutions:
Resotred, bg the General Assembly Of Ohlo'
That the Governor is hereby requested TO
cause to be fred, at 6 o'clock 2. N. OF
this day, one hundred guns in honor OF
the veto by the President Of the United
States of tha. great Abolition inlqulty,
the Freedman's Bureau Bill.
The resolution went on the table under
the rule. l,-sl3
Mr.. Putnam moved to suspend the rule,
in order to take said resolution from the
table, which motion was lost yeas 70,
nays As. r5.-. .r-s -.
Mr.. Thornhin offered for adoption the
following resolution; aiyaa
ResolUsd, 6y the General Assembly Of the
STATE of Ohio, That We endorse the prinel-
pies of the message of the President oil
| tSe United States, Vetoing the Freed
mems Bureau bill, and regard the said
message as indicative OF patriotism and
| love of Justice, and that the President, for
/ this timely and courageous interference
I with the reckless fanaticism Of Congress,
is deserving of the thanks Of the Amerl-
can people. s. ~ a1 i-1-...-a g.
Mr.. Schneider offered the following as
] RssoEgsd, That we endorse the following
i extract from the speech of Andrew john
son to the colored men at Nashville, Oct.
"a, 1864: 1859.
HI, Andrew johnson, hereby proclaim
/ liberty, full, broad and Unconditional LIB
| erty, to. every man in TENNESSEE will
be your Moses, and lead you through the
Red Sea of Struggle and Seryitude to ,
4 future of Liberty and Peaeel Rebellion
and Slavery shall no more pollute our
State. Loyal men, whether white or
black, shall alone govern the State y
Mr.. Piatt offered the following amend
/ ment: Add to the substitute as follows;
/ RESOLVED, That in the language of the
4 Proclamation of the President Of May 29,
! 1865, the rebellion which was waged BY q
portion of the people of the United
States against the properly constituted
authorities of the Government thereof,
in the most violent and revolving form,
but whose armed and organized forces
have now been almost entirely oyerpow-
cred, has, in the revolutionary progress,
4 deprived the people of the States in
, which it was organized of all civil gov
, ernment. 1.eH lr. 1850.
RssoIved, That whenever the people of
, any State are thus deprived of all civil
government it becomes the duty of Con-
, gress, by appropriate legislation, TO ena-
; Bile them to organize State government,
, and, in the language of the Constitution,
to guarantee to each State republican
form of government.
Mr.. Phillips moved to refer the resolu-
| tion and pending amendments to the
committee on Federal Relations, which
} motion was lost-yeas IA, nays So.
! Mr.. Hill offered the following as an
amendment to the amendment
Rssolved, That the sentiments an
nounced in the following resolution,
adopted by Congress, in July 1861, still
meet the hearty approval of this Gener-
: al Assembly:
"ResOIvsd, That this war is not prosecu-
ted upon our part in any spirit of oppres-
sion, nor for any purpose of conquest or
. subiugation, nor purpose of oYerthroWing
or interfering with the rights or estab-
/ lished institutions of those States, but to
: defend and maintain the supremacy OF
: the Constitution and all laws made in
pursuance thereof, and to preserve the
: Union with all the dignity, equality, and
rights of the several States unimpsired,
: that as soon as these objects are accom-
= plished the war ought to cease.
4 Mr. Phillips moved to lay the resolution
? and pending amendments on the table,
! which motion was lost-yeas %, nays AZ.
The question being on agreeing to Mr..
: Schneider's substitute as amended by
q Mr.. Piatt, the yeas and the nays were de
+ manded, ordered. and resulted-yeas So
= nsys d. Republicans in the affirmative.
= Democrats in the negative. .-
= As a sequel to Beers resolution, the
\ same having been taken from the table,
q Col. Schneider, of Stark County, offered
: for adoption the following:
Rssohysd 6y the General Assembly of the
> STATE of Ohio, That the Vanandigham
: wing of the Democratic party having
! failed to embrace the opportunity Of
: smelling gunpowder during the past Eve
years, and having found no occasion for
a rejoicing, or for the discharge of artillery
! on the downfalAof the rebellion, be au-
d thorized and requested to ire as many
guns as they please in honor of the Veto
: Message of President johnson.
Rssolred, That, as Clement L. Vallan-
: digham and his political brethren found
I no occasion to hoist the stars and stripes
5 during the struggle of the Republic fol
! its life, we deem it eminently proper that
5 such. champions Of the national flag
a should now display it upon their house
/ tops, and then turn their eyes upon it, In
y stead of their backs, as they did in the
: days when they watched over the Dor.
