By Mr. HUTCHESON Wheeeas, it bas now become apparent tbat no adjustment or existing troubles can b ef fected in Congress adequate to arrest tbe dan gerous tendency of revolution and restore peace and harmony to our distrsoted country, whilst tbe threatened withdrawal or all tbe slavenold log States at an early period, to be followed, perbaps, with a desolating olvll war, Is becom ing more and more Imminent: and Wheseas, The actual secession of tbe State of South Carolina, with the contemplated seces lion of certain other Statea soon to take place, presents grave and unusual questions upon wbloh the Constitution and laws of the United States confer no authority on Congress or the Federal authorities to act, viz t- v , - 1st. To make war upon the seceding State and reduce them to submission by force; or, 2d. To acknowledge the independenoe of such seceding States. Amo wheeeas. It is the peculiar felicity of our political . system, in a crisis like tne present, when tbe difficulty can neither be compromised nor avoided, to have provided a - remedy in a Convention of all the States, acting In , their original, paramount and sovereign capacity. The people, therefore, must come to the rescue and Save the country, If it can now be saved at all. from the imnending ruin. , i And wheeeas, Time and experience have shown sinoe tbe formation and adoption ot tbe Federal Constitution, that it has been subjeot to opposing -construction and conflicting opinions, which have engendered discord, strife and alie nation between different sections of the Union, and finally .resulted U tbe present 'state of things: . . , . ,. t . - Firtt, In regard to the nature of the Federal Government Itself, whether It is a compact be tween sovereign States, in which the soverelgcty is ia the People of tbe States, considered sepa rately; or wuetner it is a national uorcrnment formed by tbe People acting as a wuolo, ana in which the sovereignty is In tbe American Peo ple, as forming one great community Second, la regard to the right of a State, act ing in its sovereign capacity, to interpose its authority within its own limits against what It may deem aa unconstitutional aot ot congress or any other encroachment upon what it may regard as its reserved. rights; and, also, as to to tbe ultimate right c'a8tate to withdraw from the Union and dissolve its connection with the other State., ... , , . ... ...

By Mr. HAUUUW ?, - ', a . Whereas, dissensions of a serious sod alarm log character bav arisen between tbe people of tbe tree and slave states, In regard to tbe iostl tutlon of slavery, and, whereas, a portion of the people of these United States are in open rebellion against the government, lor the rea son tbat tbey have been lead to regard a major ity of the peopl of this snd tha other tree States aa enemies, and as entertaining senti ment dangerous to their peace and prosperity : and whereas, these erroneous impressions arc being strengthened and embittered, by a portion or tbe pubiio frees and puDiio speakers ot tbis State, be It therefore,, ' r Retolvtd by ihe General '.Attmbly of Aa Slatt of Ohio, That we ocoupy no new or equivocal position upon this vexed question of ..alavery; that we stand to-day wber w bare always stood, ready to mini to tn letter an our const! tutiooal obligations, willing to abide by and ad here to all th guarantee and compromise Of tbe Constitution, favorable to tbe institution of slavery.

That no psrson hold to service or labor In one state under the law thereof escaping Into another, shall inconsequence or any law or regulation therein be dlsobarged from such ser vice, or labor, but shall be delivered up on olsim ot tbe party to wbom such service or labor .may oeuue. ,, .......... Retolved, That whil w are readv to main tain inviolate In the future, a w bar in the pass, these constitutional guarantees.! vet we hold it to be ia accordance with these provisions of th Constitution, that slavery I a Stat Insti. tutlon; tbat it exist In a Stat by virtu of th "iw tnereoi;- mat it can no mora rcist in State or Territory without such law, "than a man can breathe without air;' that th Constl tutlon confer no power upon Congress to estab lish slavery anywhere; that Congress not bar Ing the power, it cannot confer any such power upon a Territorial Legislator, or any other bo dy created by It authority; that If dona at all itimusl be by tb sovereign power of the State, after its admission Into th Union., , , , " ; ., Retolvtd, That w believe, with that distin guished and deeply lamented Southern States man, (Henry Clay,) that there Is "no pert of tha Constitution wnicn convey in rignt or th power to Barry slave from one of tbe Statea of Kb Onion to., any Territory of the Unltod (Stat.." jxor witn turn can w admit, "tor a moment, that there 1 any separate or, distinct power upon the part ot tbe State, or Individual members of tbe Stat or any portion of tbe people of the United States, to oarry slave Into the rTerrltorlea, nnder,'. the Idea, that ' the Territories ar held In common between the aer. eral States." W hold tbat the territories are th . ...j .1. . rAnnf Itullnn er over tne same is vesiea oj w In Congress, yet we are Infavor of conferring upon th people of a Territory, whenever their umbers will Justify it, all legislative, execu tive and judlofal power, consistent with a due regard to ihe interest of th whol people, and while we do not believe tbat tbe legal prlnolple, that slavery cannot go into a Territory, would be made stronger by Congressional prohibition, yetbeoauseoftbe moral effects as well as the many precedents - In favor of such prohibitory legists' toff, w are in favor of applying the Jef r..,r,. n.nDt, tj, .ii mu for the organization ot territorial government, believing in the langu age of Judge Ranney, of this State: "That tbe maintaining or freedom tnereiu u uu. bub. . humanity, to republloan principles, to our obar. acter and Interests aa a people, and. above all, to the 'poor of our own and other lands who shall go there to find homes for tbsmsslvos and families, and who would be beggared and ais. graced by tbe contact of slave labor." Ketoivea, Tbat weuttony ignore aou rpum the doctrine of another distinguished Statesman (S.A.Douglas,) a proclaimed in the Senate chamber, via., "Tbat under the Constitution slaves are property, standing on aa equal foot ing witn an otner property; ana inai, cuunu quently, the owner of a slave has the same right to emigrate to a territory and carry his property with him, as tho owner of any other spsctee of property hss to move there and oarry bis prop-; rty with him," a dootrln that If onus admitted, would render tbe exclusion of slavery from sny territory a constitutional Impossibility , as the admission of a constitutional right Implies tbo necessary legislation to secure the enjoymentof ' such right, consequently, tbe only power tbat either Congress, or a territorial legislature oould hare over the subject, would in the language of Chief Justice Taney, "Be the power coupled, with the duty of guarding and proteotiog tbe owner in his righto," and it this doctrine be true, ths neglect or refusal of Congress to provide tbe necessary legislation to guard and protect tho owner in his constitutional rights, would of Itself be suflloleot oause for revolution or secession. Retolvtd, Tbat standing as we do, where tb founders of the Government stood, la regard to j this exciting question, guided, at w ar, by uch expounder of the Constitution as Ksnt, Story and Marshall, following in tbe footsteps of suoh Illustrious and patriotio statesmen ss Jefferson, Clsy and Webster, we can smile at the charge of sectionalism; we hurl back with scorn and contempt the charge of Abolition- -Ism, and while we are stronly opposed to all Interference with slavery In the States where It now exists,' yet we are equally opposed to any . construction, or to any amendment to tb Con-' itiution.by virtu of which, slavery shall go in to tbo 'territories and be proteoted during the Territorial condition, a proposition that in It ' results and oonsequences would make the people of the free States ae much responsible for the perpetuation and extension of slavery as those of the slave States; a proposition tbat would subvert and change tbe whole theory of our government, and make the Constitution not an instrument to perpetuate tbe " hinting t of liber ty," but theoarse of human bondage, a doctrine ) abhorrent to the moral and religious sense of a free and liberty loving people. , And we, there fore, declare to our sister States, that let tbe re sult be oonoord or discord, union or disunion, . pesce or war, Ohio will never consent to any, such proposition, or to any further oompromlt. -by which slavery shall receive any 'new or ' stronger guarantees thsn tbose contained in tbe present Constitution. - - . . , Retolvtd, That the Government of these . United States wa ordaineded and established by tbe people thereof, for their mntual security and benefit, and all attempts by any portion of the people thereof, to subvert or overthrow the same, Is rebellion aad treason; and as su?b, ought to be met by tbe whole power of the Gov ernment, and put down, at any cost, and at all . hazards, and - if oecesssry, we hereby pledge la the General Government the whole power of -' this State for the accomplishment of this object, . tbe voice being that the "Union must and shall be preserved." : 1 Th Governor' Annual Mestaze was then read at the clerk's desk. Mr. PARROT then offered tbe resolut'o l that 3,000 extra copies of tbe Governor's message be printed, which motion he supported In the fol lowing remarks, when the resolution was adopt ed, Mr. PARROT said: Tbe message Just read is of more than ordi nary interest . - - Tbe change which it proposes In the plan fur paying off the pubiio debt is of itself sufficiently important to Justify tbe pastsge of thi resolu -tion. Inasmuch, also as th controversy with Kentucky, growing out of tbe Lago cose, hss been much magnified and much misrepresented, it ia du silks to tbe Governor and to the peo ple that a true statement of tbe circomstanoes of the case, and of the prlnolple by which It was decided, sbouid be widely distributed. But I am mainly Induced to offer this resolution by the patriotio tone in which the message (peaks upon the deplorable condition of our Inter state relations. I trust it may neutralize the bitter. ; ness of partisan spirit. I feet assured tbat all here share a common depression at the impend ing gloom, and a common desire to restore tt brightness of fraternal feeling among theStates. . In this crisis let ns stand together as on v psrty with on objeet, the permanenoy of tbe Union and the preservation of the Constitution. . As a leading State of "tbe Imperial center," Ohio exert a controlling Influence and herveic .. was anxiously listened for. , The expression now given to it by her Govor nornor will meet tbe hearty approval of her own citizen and the hopes ot Union loving men v ervwbere. It I both patriotio and conservative; at once firm but conciliatory; while it demands a due re spool for the privileges and immunities common to tbe citizens of eaoh State, it eqally Insist npou the recognition of those rights peculiar to the citizens oft he slave States secured to tbem by the Federal Constitution This, sir, Is tbe true remedy to purge tbe State tod rcalor her to a sound and pristine '-,1 health again; asaored observance of all the conditions of tbecompaot. Then, let us send thie message to every ham let lo Obio; let us send It across tbe borders of our neighboring States, with tbe earnest hope that Its appeal for a settlement or discords, its avowal of attachment for tbe Union, and its admonitions to onaerve every constitutional right and requirement, msy temper the fierce flame that threaten to consume tbe Amerioan ,' .1 Union, the production alike and the protection ' of American liberty.
