No Important measure has passed the
)hio Legislature during the present ad'
ourned session, except the Resolutions
,atifying I y al aftaAidsils uaoz arp
THE coNsT1TuTtoaA1, AMENDMENT.
This lintamya was ratified by q strict
party vote ID both branches without de-
bate, and although several Democratic
speeches were made in each House in op.
position, no Republican replied. All
knew that it was dead sure thing never
tobe ratified by e,fourthsof the States.
Some Republicans were unwilling that
the amendment should be finality at any
rate others appreciating that it had been
a mere bridge over the last Fall elections
for their party, would not tie to its car
cass. HLcast said soonest mended," if
they would be ready to hurrah for the
next programme and platform from Ja-
Goblin headquarters. The Amendment
being their platform during the last cam.
paign, its defeat is virtual triumph Of
TIE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND THE PRES.
IDENT.
The Presidents restoration policy still
prevails aud will continue during his
term unless the Jacobius depose him and
override the Supreme Court of the Uni.
ted States. Although the Democratic tick.
ct was defeated generally in the last cleo.
tions and in previous elections, yet one
by one articles of the Democratic creed
triumph. The fight we made in 1868
for Constitutional liberty and against mill
tary commissions in the trial of civilians,
has been decided as right by the Supreme
Court comprised as it is mostly and large
y of Lincoln's appointees. That Court
has also decided the Missouri test oath,
and the Attorneys test oath, as unconsti.
tutional, and has repeatedly recognized
Confederate States as being in the Union.
When the Rump Congress undertakes to
territorialize those States, the Supreme
Coart will be lion in their path. The
Rebel Rump Congress assuming to bo a
coordinate branch of the government with
the President and the Judiciary, now seek
to usurp the functions Of both, the former
by his impeachment, the latter through
his revolutionary successor, The Radi
Gals have gone so far that it will hurt
them if. they back out Of their impeach
ment project, and their party is undone Il
they don't get rid Of Mr.. johnson Eu
ropean newspapers and home capitalist
warn us that with attempted impeach
ment come revolution, decline in U. s
Bonds, and financial distress. What mad
ness to attempt to impeach Mr. johnson
! for what all Presidents have dcne sinot
Jackson's time? Who doubts the issu
Of revolution when against the mad Rad
icals will be arrayed the mojority Of tn
, white people Of the country, the Suprem
5 Court, the army and navy commando
by the President who will execute tn
!. law as expoundcd by that Court. The
a perhaps would come the Presidents pr
