TUESDAY, JANUARY THE city is i'll
ing up-especially the hotels-witt
the delegated Democracy from all the
counties of the State, to participate in
the great anticipated fight and feast on
the sth. The fight viii be between the
Vallandigham and Thurman faction:
to shape the Convention in the interest
II one or the other. The feast will be
in the evening, when the griefs and
strifes of the day will be drowned N
the infallible st. Xxx specific for all
Democratic ills
The wheels o. legislation can hardly
be said to be yet in running order, the
standing house committees not yet
having been appointed. A few bills
were introduced in the House today
one to repeal the present road law, and
one to change the mode of procedure
before justices of the peace, in certain
cases. Resolutions were more numer-
Gus, one batch, by a democrat, favoring
the payment of the National debt in
greenbacks, snd the annihilation of
the National Bank system. This was
Offset by resolutions offered by a Re-
publican, affirming the validity of the
public debt, and demanding its pay
ment in full. Both resolutions were
laid on the table. In the Senate, yes,
terdsy, Brooks, Republican, of Column
biana, introduced 8 resolution lsudato-
~ of Gen. Jackson's victory at New
Orleans, his worth as a soldier and
statesman, and as q patriotic oppoSer
Of notification and secession, and thai
the Senate should adjourn on the sth
in honor of the man and the day. 1t
was passed. But at moor recess the
Democrats discovered thst they had
been trapped into 8 condemnation Of
secession and their Southern brethren,
which caused them to wax wroth, and
resolve upon a reconsideration and re-
peal of the obnoxious resolution, which
virtuous resolve they carried through,
and passed a resolution merely for sd-
iournment over the Sth. In the House,
this morning, I offered a resolution
similar to the one rejected by the Sem
ate Democrats, in which Jackson was
duly praised for his New Orleans yicto-
~ and his hatred Of nullifers and
se~cessionists. The majority of the
Democrats hearing jackson and New
Orleans complimeuted did not imme-
diately discover the covert blow at their
Calhoun sece5siouism, and nearly all
voted for it. All the Republicans vos-
ing for it, it Of eouse was carried. a
motion was soon made to adjourn, in
persuance OF the resolution, until Thurs
day, which cut off all the chance for a
reconsideration, after which the de-
mocracy began to see where the laugh
came in. The Senate Standing Com
mittees were appointed to-day. 1t is
customary for the President of the
Senate to make those appointments,
but he, IN this instance, being a Re
publican, OF course the Democrats
Tould not permit him to do it, but as
sumed that the Democratic majority
could do it more satisfactorily 10 them
selves. As was expected, they 20
shaped the Committees as to place Re
.publicans n subordinate positions on
them all. Mr. Woodwork, Senator
from U District, was appointed a
member on the following Committees
Enrichment and Universities and
Colleges. The Senate adjournedin the
forenoon, the Democratic members
being especially interested in The pre-
hminaries for to-morrow's Convention.
In the afternoon the State Wool Grow
er's Association met in the Senate
Chamber. We observed Mr.. r. n.
Montgomery, of Mshoning, in attend
ance. The Association favored holding
a National Wool and Sheep Exposition
next season in some Ohio city. Some
discussion Hss had a. to kind and quail
ty of wool best to be grown. The sub
iect Of foot-rot was discussed, and the
general opinion that the best remedy
vas early snd prompt treatment. It
was also agreed that the different
breeds of sheep should be kept dis
tinct. Atthe evening session q resolu-
ton was adopted declaring that the
wool growers of Ohio approve of the
present tariff upon wool and woolens,
and that it should remain until expert
ence shall demonstrate its legitimate
workings. An assessment was ordered
on the different counties to defrsy the
expenses of a delegate to Washington
