Mr. Allison went on to remark that
the coal product of this country had
been greatly stimulated during the last
five years, gaining from three to six
millions, to II millions last year; he
therefore thought that the objections OF
the gentleman from Pennsylvania, Mr..
Kelly, to the admission of Canada coal,
was a rather a small matter, and he
might retort upon him as to his remark
that the bill seemed of foreign origin,
what the amendment which he, Mr. Kel-
ly, affirmed appeared rather to be the
offspring of the Canadian ministry, be-
cause it struck at once at the great in
terest in the West in proposing to admit
live animals free of duty He did not
regard the duty of 20 cents per bushel
for wheat, and 90 per cent. on live ami
mails as protection to the farming inter
est in the West; it would cost the West
ern farmer more than that TO believer

ports.


Mr.. Darling, of New York, said: l am

the bill Canada has not, neither has
the mother country committed herself
to any special regard and consideration.
If Canada wants any protection, let her
come under the protection of the Stars
and Stripes, which protect the interest
ofall who owe allegiance and respect to
its power


Mr.. Lynch, of Missouri, spoke in IA

re-enactment OF the Reciprocity Treaty,

vantages on our ade, for which we gave

having exhausted the full est resources of the medical

The Democratic State Convention will
meet at Columbus on Thursday, May 24th.


The Convention is holden thus early to
enable the supporters of the Union cause to
commence the campaign. Little can be
done before nominations are made.


The Convention will doubtless give the
restoration policy of President johnson an
uncquivocal Endorsement and that will be
the prominent question OF the canvass
There being no possible way in which those
of the Republican party who approve of the
action of the President can make their in
dorsement of him manifest, other than by
voting the Democratic ticket, as thousands
did in Connecticut, we may reasonably eX-
pect great acquisitions to our ranks; acqui-
sitions so numerous as to give us the State
by very large majority at the October
election.


There being no Congressman to elect in
Connecticut, the result was but indirectly
connected with national politics; but in
Ohio we have nineteen members of Con-
gress to elect, and these will either be sup
pOrters of the Presidents Union policy, or
of Stevens and Summers disuuion policy.
There are but two parties in the country
Unionists and DisunioniSts-thOse who in
dorse the President, and those who stand by
Sumner 81 Co. The time has come when
politicians can no louger give uncertain
sounds. The game of hide-and-go-seek is
"played out" But two positions can be
found for candidates for Congress to occu-
py-one for union, peace and prosperity;
the other for the disunion dogmas of the
Radicals, which, in the event of success,
will most certainly produces more terrible
and devastating civil war than the one
through which we have just passed. q ~


Then, let the notes of preparation be now
sounded, and everything be in readiness to
commence the campaign with that spirit
and vigor which bespeak success. Let us
spend all summer fighting it out OH that

often wondered that no proposition was made
for united, earnest supplication in his behalf
by the Church of which he is a member ;

be offered for him daily by many warm and
pious hearts But what desire especially to
urge is, more general lerveDt, and constant
appeal to Heaven for his relief by Christians

not publicly where all might not desire to
unite in the prayer, at least by all pious
hearts, and from every family altar, where

Judge or jury.


The action of the Convention, even in re-
gard to contracts made during the war, is
very incomplete and unsatisfactory and,
without some revision or alteration by the
Legislature, will furnish very inadequate
corrective of the evils intended to be provided
against. Parties, as now advised, are GO com, 4,
PEELED to appeal TO the courts for the ADJUST
nent of their claims, and, in many instances,
oy the time the debts are reduced to the
standard of Justice and equity, there will not
be enough left to pay the costs Of suit. Must
administrators, executors, guardians ana
trustees, submit to this hardship and subject
the estates they represent to this enormous
expense If it was lawful for the Conven-
lion to pass the Ordinance, would it not be
equally lawful for the Legislature to establish
some principles, or some cheap mode OF pre-
cedure, by which it could be made a practical
measure of relief? Why not establish Ger
tain referees, in each District, to determine
all these causes without suit, and let the
great business of settling up estates proceed
With that regularity and despatch which the
interests of the parties and of the country 80
imperatively demand? There is much excuse
we admit, for the conduct of our legislators
since the surrender of the Confederate ar
mics, for they were stunned and confounded
oy the fall but it is time for US to awaken
and bestir ourselves, as strong men, resolved
to save the wreck OF our fortunes to buffet,
with lusty sinew, the waves of adversely;
and, if we must sink, to perish near friend
ly shore.


"To be weak is miserable, whether acting
or suffering" and IL is passing strange how
we can bubble and hesitate, and hesitate and
bubble, about the enactment of measures
for the salvation OF the State, when every
man knows what the life of the State de-
mands. The obligation of contracts has be-
come horrid spectre, to frighten our law
givers from their propriety and their wits.
Was it wrong and unconstitutional for our
Convention to ordain that the Confederate
contracts should be reduced by the courts
and iuries according to the demands Of JUS.
tice and fair dealing No one felt so, at the
time, and no one believes SO now. How.
then could it be wrong and unconstitutional
for the Legislature, which, in this respect,
has as much power as the Convention, to an
null and modify the negro debts according to
the imperious claims of honor, honesty and
humanity?- There are no obstacles in its
way" nc lion in its path"-and all it lacks
is the will of Great Heart" to make this
greatest measure of deliverance matter of
easy accomplishment.
