Brother (Clark. HI ,: health has
prevented my writing you at an earl
ier period, respecting the assembling
and organization pf our present legis
lature.. Suffice it to say now, that
both , , houses , , were , duly organized,
without any, more delay than was ne-j
cessry ,to carry but pro forma the
determination of the Democratic cau
cus of the Saturday evening previous.
There are,; however many curious
things transpiring, the detail of which
would be amusing, did the space you
can allot to me permit my digressing
from the subject, which to your read
ers ii'pt paramount interest. I will,
however just remark that beneath
the smooth, surface of - the , political
current, on which the dominant polity
cal party seems now to be gliding
along sp quietly, there are diverse un
der currents of tqtVilent waters that
threateij a serlcrdand permanent disr
ruption of the great party which! In this
State has so long acted, as : an Unit.
These 'contending ' factions,' arei' for
the present, smothering their wratH as

accordingto their views, hag po taint

the Ohio Democracy take that gronnd,
as they probably will, then it is pre
sumed that many .Democrats wiH; for
sake'them,; and, join heartily with, the
" Free Democratic Party," .whiqh
henceforth,: according to their prophe
cy, is to be the only formidable oppo
nent of that party which now bears
undisputed, sway in our state and na
tional councils. ; ',
And so in. the general stand, the,
various political parties at Columbus,
at the opening of this second Assem
bly of the Legislature under. ounew
constitution. As a body of me.n, my
own observation agrees with, the, re
marks madej by others, that in gentle
manly bearing and intellectnal pbisy
bffnomy. they will compare' favorably
with any previous General Assembly.

A imnK ior ine mvsi pniy iue are now
sober and temperate men. I have
heard of only one drunken row among
the" members, and that was, as l am
informed,' 'chiefly confined td a large
delegation from a single county ,bere
open pledges were given; in" advance,
that each man would do his utmost to
defeat the ' enactment of any law re
