State Central Committee met at jefferson
City to-day and after settling up accounts
of the late campaign, unanimously adopt
ed the following resolutions:
Resolved, That in the subversion of
the rights of the people of Louisiana to
regulate their own affairs, the interfer-

the military force to compel submission,
to positive wrong, we view the worst
feature of Radicalism and the clearest
proof of its enmity against republican in
stitutions.
Resolved, that we sympathize with the
people of Louisiana in their efforts to rid
themselves of their plunderers, and we
denounce the conduct ofthe President as
beftting only despot, and not the Ex-
ecutive of free people.

islature at its earliest moment, by res
olution to be presented to Congress, to
demand that the wrong shall cease.

IN THE OHIO LEGISLATURE
Columbus, Jan. 6.-The following ac-
ton was taken in the House to-day on
the Louisiana trouble, a joint resolution
being introduced by Mr.. Sherrick:
Whereas, A Legislature of Louisiana
has been legally elected and properly or
ganized according to the laws OF the State,
and,
Whereas, Said Legislature was with a
quorum peaceably proceeding to transact
the business for that State, and, accord
ing to the laws thereof had settled the
dispute of the contestants, and seated
sufficient number, and had quorum,
and,
Whereas, The peaceful proceedings Of
said State Legislature were interfered
with and that body dispersed by a militia
ry commander of the United States army;
therefore, be it
Resolved, By the General Assembly Of
the State of Ohio, That such interference
on the part of the military with the AS
sembly of Louisiana was uncalled for, a
high-handed outrage and an assault on
the reserved rights of the State, which If
persisted in or permitted by the Presi-
dent, will rapidly bring our system OF
government into disgrace, eventually de-
stroy our republican institutions, and
wipe out all personal liberty; nd be it
further
Resolved, That We appeal to the Presi-
dent of the United States to use his pow
er and influence to stay the unnecessary
interference and avoid the shedding Of
human blood lat least until it shall become
apparent that the State is powerless to
govern ITSELF and we appeal thus in the
name of the State of Ohio.
Tabled under notice of Mr.. Grosvenor
to discuss.
