reading the journal, and doing some uniin-
portant business, adjourned. The only
/ thing that gave even momentary interest
10 the proceedings was a preamble and rcso
luton introduced by your Mr.. Danglcr. AS
they are among the pretticst specimens of
Buncombc aud Misrepresentation Of facts,
lcopy them:
! WHEREAS, The time has arrived when
we can already perceive aud appreciate the
wisdom of our fathers in their opposition
to the passage Of the three -ifihs clause Of
our Constitution, which gave to certain
States a congressional representation based
on a populaiionlooked upon as chattcl prop.
erty and voiccless in the election Of these
Representatives, and
WHEREAS, The political history of our
country from that date down to the present,
has proved that the concessions then yielded
TO the demands of the slave power only
served to increase its insolcnt and Unsuitable
lust for domination in the government Of
this country, which finally eliminated in an
effort ito ruin" when 1T could not rule, -
and believing as we do, that the existence
the thrcc-6iihs clause in our Constitution
is contrary to the spirit OF our free nstittl-
tions, and ought to be wiped off with slave.
ry, of which it was the offspring therefore,
be it
Resolred by tie General AssenJW of tie
.Stutcof Ohio, That we request our Repre-
sentativcs in Congress to use every effort to
procure an an amendment to the Constitu-
ton Of the United States so as that Con-
gressional representation shall be appor-
toned according to the number of male cit
izens over . years of age, resident in each
District possessing the rcsuuisite qualifica.
ton for electors of the most numerous branch
of the Legislature.
Rcsoioed, That copy Of this preamble
and resolutions he forwarded to each member
Of the House of Representatives and Senate
of the United States from Ohio.
Mr.. Dangler is a cute gcnteman--he
showed that in his dealings with Col Crane,
late Quartcrmastcr at Nashville, but this
move is too transparent to avail him.
! For years, the South was abused, by Abo-
lition orators, who asserted that under the
three flihs rule, each planter voted three
times for every five negroes Now it seems
that five negroes Slaves in the South only
counted as three votes, whereas the same
number in Ohio counted as five, although
they had no votes and were voceless in the
Representation. Slavery being done away
with, the negroes of the South now count
as much as white men in the enumeration
as they have always done in the free States
This gives the South an increased represen-
tation in Congress. This Mr.. Dangler pro-
poses to take away, and not to count negroes
as human beings unless they are voters.
The South has always suffered and has al
ways complained Of this glaring inequality,
whereby they were deprived of representa-
ton for near 2,0OO,O human beings, and
now when if necessary, by the action of Abo
lltlon'sm, that section will gain from twelve
to fourteen Representatives. Mr.. DangleI
wants to cut them on and stu further to
reduce TINS representation IN Congress, un
