Pro Slavery Bills in the Legitimate.
Th Democracy In the Ohio Lg

for the 'legitifUKto intcresta' of O
They have novajpccnpied the I
latnre for nearly one month, inflha
consideration ' of two billa; one of
which propo!i to make it the duty
of the citizen ot this State, to build
and keep lit anitable condition, slave
pena,for the acoom jiodstion of slave
holder, for the storago of their "hu
man chattels," and for their better
protection and Bafe-keopitig; and the
other (a, to allow slave-holders to
bring their slaves into the State and
keep then here, until it auit their
convenience to return, and moreover
if tbejr take a fancy to aotne of our
freemen, that they may with im
pnnity appropriate them, and reduce
them to slavery. The object of one
bill, la to allow slave-holders the use
of our jails to confine their slaves in;
the object ot the other is, to repeal
the law now on tho atatute book, that
prohibits slave-holding and kidnap
ping in Ohio, which as any onoenn
tee ia in effect to permit slave hold
lig and kidnapping in Ohio. This
laat bill has passed tho Senate, and
lciim berorw ikU fpor is issued,
will have passed the Hons e and bo
come a law. The other bill will fol
low auit to give place to sovcral oth
ers of "the same sort,' that have been
waiting their time. Thns do these
Democratic Legislators attend to the
''legitimate intereata" of our noble
State. No one can fail to see the
tendency of tbings,under Democratic
domination. Kansas owes to this
same party, its present distracted
condition. I3y this party it has been
controlled by this party'its institu
tions have been framed by this par
ty it has been placed in a falso posi
tion in asking admission into the
Union with a strongly pro-slavery
Constitution with a Constitution
that the people have repudiated by
an overwhelming majority. The

How often has the last Republican
Legislature been denounced by the
Democracy, for what they chose to
call, "legislating for Kansas," which
amounted to nothing more reprchen
aible,tbsn tbe passage of such resolu

sentiment of the people of tho State,'
and thus bring the influenco of the
State to bear against tho outrages.
that havo bronght about tbe present
unfortunate etato of things in Kan

their whole energies, to advanco the
'legitimate interests" of tho slave
States. Among the very first bills
that will pass tho present Democrtic
Legislature, will be jast such bills.
What do tho people of th'.s State

pressure of the previous qostion,the
parfjrofleThrjpM an apology for their
hot haste, that the exigency of the
oaae demanded prompt action, and
that they could not spare time for.
disoussivn or Investigation. It will
be recollected, that tho last resold
Hon requested the Governor to for
ward a copy of these resolution,
"fortAutfA," to "our Senators and
Kcprceentativee in Congress." Well,
alter nearly two weeks had elapsed,
it was found that the Democratic
Clerk bad . not furnished the Gov
ernor with an authentioated copy of
these- resolves. Some Republican
member moved that the Clerk sup
ply the Governor with such copy;
when, lot and behold, the gag rule
waa resorted to again.and the motion
was defeated. And there lie these
resolutions, which were evidently
got up for buncombe. I'ugb and.
the rest ot tho delegates, are left to
the freedom of their own will as to
how they shall vote on the admission
of Kansas. Pugh will claim, on very
correct grounds, that he had no of
ficial notice of such instructiona.and
was, therefore, under no obligations
to obey them. Such jugglery is dia
graceful, to aay tho very best of it.

his articlo, contradicts tho assertion
made in the Courier, that they have
no oiio In their party, disposed to re
sist tho enforcement of such a law.
Here is the article in question:
"Any casual observer of Kansas
affairs at this time, must conclude
that the attempt to impose upon this
people, by the violation of principle
ana recognition or frauds, and
against tho known and expressed
will of four-fifths of tho legal voters
or the Jcrntory, tho Calhoun-Le
compton Constitution, will be fol-
loweu by resistance to whatever
power may make the attempt. Such
course ia a challenge to tho frrttri
otism of the peoplo of Kansas. The
people of this Territory dread the al-
lernativo.rcvolutlon.biit have firmly
determined upon resistance. They
will never quietly permit any person
rooiuem oi guaranteed rights.and
tho announcement that Kansas Is ad
mitted upon this application, will bo
tho signal of civil war.

from our fears: but wo apeak from

Lecompton Constitution, are enroll

that of a firm and unyielding dispo
sition to oppose it at tbe sacrifice of
every thing even ol lite itself.

The tenor of
i
Democratic Press oa the
eratie Legislature.
Some of tho leading Democratic
papers in Ohio, seem to be disgust
the conduct ofthe Legislature, in
truculoncy, and in its wasto of
time. The Zanesville Aurora,
remarks of it: '
"This body has had a little dab at
Kansas matters. Has endeavored
indorse both Donglaa and Bu
chanan, lias not passed the pro
posed bill, postponiug the payment
part or the state taxes."
The Ashland Union calls tho res
olutionspaesod in regard to Kansas,
"saddle-bag resolutions," and says
"tho issuo between Judge Douglas
the Democratic party is of such
nature as to admit of no compro
mise."
Tbe Newark Adoooatt remarks:
"The Ohio Legislature adjourned
from if nday last till yesterday
lower House adjourned from
Friday to Monday afternoon, and
again adjourned for want of a
quorum. This is not as it should be."
And this is the Legislature that
to raste no time unnecesarily
to attend to the "legitimate in
terest" or the State, and after an ex
tremely short session, was to adjourn
come bome.
Soataen View ofthe Kaaiat Qaettioa.
We clip the following from the
Charleston Mercury of the 19th, to
show in what favor the Administra
tion stands amoog the fire-eaters ot

place on the almission of Kansas
with Iter present pro-slavery institu
tioim The Mercury seems to think
that all other questions should bo
sunk, and that the Administration
should be vigorously sustained in its
efforts to secure Kansas to the South.
Here is tbe paragraph in question:
"We trust that these unfounded

Donglaa voted for it. They bave
also agreed to report a bill approv
ing of the conduct of Commodore
Paulding in capturing Walker and

against this.
It is re pot tod that Lieut. General
Scott will leave for California by the
next steamer from New York, in or
der to make arrangements for the
Spring and Summer campaign
against the Mormons. A force will
be raised in California.
Gen. Scott will go to California
with full power to organize such a
force as may be required, if the
regular troops provided are not
strong enough, ho will call upon the
Governor of California for volun
teers. Recent surveys of the Colorado
River prove that it is navigable for
three hundred railoa from its mouth.
The army will therefore bo sent up

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.
Dispatches received at tbe War '
Department from Col. Johnson, of
November 3, confirm the pretiow
reporta of excessive suffering arid
great loss in draught animal by
snow-storms, cold and starvation.
A sufficient number of oxen, tho'
poor beef bave been saved to supply
the party for six days in the week.
and bacon for one day for a period
of seven months; also, flour and small -
rations.
The storms dealt rouarhlv with
Colonel Cook's command. . Helot
half of his horses, besides a number
of mules.
Further advance toward Salt Lake
City cannot be made without a new
supply of such animals, to procure
which Captain Marcy ha sent to
Now Mexico, for use in early spring
when the army, with a volunteer
force two thousand strong, will r
anme his march a soon as supplied
with horse and mule; and tbe
grass on the mountains becomes suf
ficient to sustain them.
Two volunteer com; anies bave
been mustered into service for nine
months, and it is expected tit at in at
few days two more companies will
be mnstored.
The troops have borne the fatigue
and privations of tho march with pa
tience and cheerfulness, and are all
in fine health, though some regi
ments are still suffering from frost
bite. Another letter from an officer ia
the army says that the Mormon are
afraid of the mounted men. They
are a set of cowards, like all assas
sins and robbers, and he fears that
their loaders, and those who have
no claim in the Valley, will run
away, requiring their deluded fol
lowers to destroy their property, lest
it may benefit the army.
Tho widow of the late Commodore

From Washington.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.
Gen. Scott will leave for Califor
nia on the 5th of February, not to
leal the army, or o'jranizo a new
movement immediatrly, but to be
prepared for embodying tho militia
of California for action in case the
President should declare Utah in a
state of rebellion us is now contem
plated. It is thought that this movement,
and especially Gen. Scott's presence
will deter tho Mormons, and be fa
vurablo to it pacification. "
The whole military force in Kan
sas will move forward to Utah aa
early in the Spring as possible, led
by the advanco detachment from Ft.
Lftrarnie. It is thought here that
they will bo ablo to reach Salt Lake
by the middle of Juno, in defiance of
nil obstacles.

Advices just receivod by this Gov
eminent from Mexico represent tho
condition of that country as terrible,
and formal overtures hare been made
to our Government for the sale of

proposed is, however, considered ex

any action on the subject at present.
Mr. Forsyth, our Minister to Mex
