The Home Another Peace Proposition bra Majority of the House, rejected by the Locofocos At 10 o'clock this morning, Gen. IIolcomi again called the House to order, (the Locofocos itill occupying scats on the left hand aide, and Mr. LtUer from Stark, potted in the chair usually occupied by the ! Speaker,) and after a call of the unrepresented Dis-, trtcta, without an one answering, Mr. Olds offered the following preamble and resolutions, which were unanimously adopted by the Whig. Prerioua to putting the queition on the resolutions, Mr. Spencer asked to be excused from voting upon them, aa hit rigid to a scat was involved in the dispute. Allho', by adopting that paper, his friends apparently acknowledged a doubt as to his right to a seal, where, in his view, no doiibl could exirt, yet he wit willing, for the sake of peace and harmony, for the welfare of the State, to yield to the action of hia friends, and even sign his name to the paper. All who acknowledge the force of law, must recognize hid right to a seat here. Mr. S. spoke briefly ana then the resolutions were id opted, as follows: Wiikrkas, We have been engaged, since Monday morning last, in elfirts to organize this House in a leg! and constitutional manner, and in accordance with our sense of duty to our constituents, which efforts have hitherto proved unsuccessful and whereas we are now ready, as we ever have been, to co-operate with all members elect upon this floor, in a fair, amicable and K'gal organization of the House i therefore, fssuiW, That we accept and adopt the plan of nr- Janixation proposed in our hearing yesterday, by Mr. Iiidlk,oii belmlf of himself and seven other members elect, (ss follows :) ttWiiERCAi, the members elect of the flnuie of Rep-1 resent a lives of the Stale of Ohio, hitve assembled at the I Cupiiol of die State, and hive been sworn into office-but have as yet been unable to urgnmze in come, quence of a difference of opinion as to the right of certain gentlemen, (who, with the real, have been sworn,) to occupy seats in this Hall, and to participate in the deliberations of this body ; and whereas, this difference of opinion seems likely to prevent an urbanization of the General Assembly, and interrupt llie pro. greas of the government, a result to be deprecated by every good citizen. Therefore, Resolved, Uy the members elect of the House of Representatives, lor the purpose or preserving the dig-tiity of this bndv, securing n nrifaniiatiou thereof, saving the State from anarchy, and effecting a temporary oranixali'in of the House, ihatthe certificates or other evidence of election of Messrs.

Hugh, Pierce, Uunyan and Spencer, none of whom shall participate in the deliberations of in w body uniil their respective rights to seats there-in shall be dciei mined. " Htstdced, Tint the members elect thus assembled, hall proceed to elect a Speaker, Clerk andSergeant-at-Aruis. all pro tein Resolved, That the Speaker temporarily elect, shall forthwith appoint the usual committee on Privileges end Elections, to whom shall be referred all certificates, papers and claims of members to seals, winch committee shall, as pruinptly as possible, report the some to the House. Rrinlvtdi Thai there shall he no election of permanent officers no legislative business transacted beyond what is necessary to effect a permanent organi anion of the House, until all claims to seals shall be decided, unless by co-ntnon consent of the House, except it be to communicate with the Senate, and to unite with litem in convassing the votes for Governor Resolved, That all questions relating to the claims of members to seats shall he considered separately that all certificated members not herein before excepted hall have a right to vole, provided that no one shall have a right to vote upon any question ia any way re. latino; to his own seat. " Resolved, That if any member elect he held not en-tilled to his seat on the ground of ineligibility, the minority candidate shall in no ease be permitted to take said seat, but the same shall be declared vacant, and the question as to who shall occupy the same shall be referred back to the people of the proper districts.

At this point in the proceedings Mr. Itresli (Loco foco) made his appearance at the Clerk's desk and proceeded to read a paper in relation to mailers as they have stood for the past week, misrepresenting, intentionally or unintentionally, the position of the Whigs. After he had concluded Ihe reading, Mr. Push declared that As bad no doubt of the un constitutionality of the apportionment law ! He was sent here to defend Ihe rights of the people of Ham illon county, and he would ntvr compromise. He waa the Representative of the whole county not oft district and he was elected iu defiance, of the Uw of lost winter, and the people of Hamilton county nteer would submit to that law. They had sent him lura especially to oppose that law. If the Constitution onu!4 not prevent the division of counties, whv, let there he no Constitution. After Mr. P. had spoken t length, Mr. Olds offered the following resolution, which wta adopted i Resolred, That a committee of five he appointed to inquire into, and report to this House, the causes' which have (bus fsr prevented a perfect organization of this House. In offering this resolution Mr. Olds addressed the members assembled at length his remarks will be given hereafter and upon the conclusion of hia address, Messrs. Olds, -, Pennington, Riddle and Dundy, were appointed a committee under the resolution.Mr. Pugk again took the floor, and during the course of his remarks, he admitted that, through fear that the Whigs would g-t the start of them, they had made a rapid move on Monday morning and that now he would never assent to any thing in Ihe shape of a proposition coming from the Whigs, having for its object sny chango in the present position of matters in this Hall. Mr. Spencer moved a call of the unrepresented districts, and before Ihe question was taken, he address ed the House, He said the Constitutionality nf the apportionment law has been called in question by Mr. Pui(h. Now, thst act is either the law, or it ta not. If it is the law, it should not be violated. If it is not the law, why is the ge lie man (Mr. Pugh) here eloim-tug seat under UP Gentlemen on the left have mistaken the intellifence of the people when they suppose their right w.U be recognized to decide upon this great Constitutional question. The gentleman claims that he has a certificate in accordance with the law. I claim that I have a certificate which entitles me to niy seat under the law. Here then we stand. I 9 can never submit that my right shall be decided upon b? the vote or that genllemsn. will not oik to steads Neon Ais csim. 1 will not sav stand aside, for I in holier tian thou i' nor should As say to ins I am . holier than thou." He claims the seat. I claim It. Here we are equal. If the law be aa I claim il, I am entitled to my seat. If it be as he claims il, he should have Ins seat. This question I am prepared to submit to any institutional tribunal which ia competent to try ihe matter. At the cW of Mr. Spencer's remarks the House adjourned until ino i1..k M.....L. mn.n,. Wt call the attention of the pub ho ta Uw important fact that here is a fair and equitable proposition signed by members of the House, submitted to the consideration of the Revolutionists, and rrjeettd by them. It must be borne in mind that these fuctionists came together bound by their resolution of the llllhof May to break up the law making power of the Slate, or to control it ; and in pursuance of that resolution they are now acting. Address of the Locoioco Electors Official Falsehood coming to the aid of Legislative Fniud, The Lncofoco Electors for President and Vice President in Ohio, appear to have given a broader construction to their duties as the agents of the people than is contemplated in the letter of the Constitution. Happening here in their official capacity, on the first Monday in December, it was their lot, not merely to view, but doubtless to give aid and counsel In the tumultuous and fraudulent proceedings with which their parly lias disgraced the State, and broken its pesce. They have done more. Hy their own names and description as 11 Electors of President and Vice President of the United States," they have iisuedsn address 11 To the People of Ohio," in which they profess to give " a correct recital of the alarming occurrences which here menace the dissolution of tho Le gislnlivo sovereignty " of the State. Had these men confined themselves to the utterance of that official falsehood concerning the will of the people of the State, which, being delegated to speak, they could not, perhaps, properly avoid, no remarks of ours would have been made upon their doings; but placing themselves in the attitude of amateur in deception, and making use at Ihu same time of their official position to give gi eater weight to their misrepresentations, we hold ourselves absolved from all feelings of delicacy, and called upon to prosecute them before the tribunal of that people, whose commission they have overstepped, aud whose ears they have endeavored to abuse. After some preliminary declamation, they thus commence what they term their " cokhebt hkcital." On the morning of last Monday, ihe day fixed by your Constitution for the annual assemblage of your Legislature, the Representatives elect assembled in the Hull of the House, and about the hour of 'J o'clock A. M., in strict conformity witli the accustomed law of the body, were culled to order hy Mr. Leiler of Stark coumy, one of their members, as preliminary Chairman," Now we give to these self constituted organs of Lo-cofocoism our thanks that on the very face snd forefront of their correct recital iu-y have placed a flagrant and notorious untruth. The falsehood is so bare that it needs no refutation. Its contrary has been dcclarrd in every Luc o loco paper that has fallen under our observation. It has been the boast of the Statesman itself, whose bad jokes upon Ihe "lazy Whigs" have been repeated daily ever since the event took place. They themselves have circulated it, and the people of the Stale of Ohio, by this tiiuo sre, by their own snowing, tuny aware ana convinced ol me fraud and violence which was perpetrated here on the first Mon day of December. Il is as notorious aa any state of facts can be, that have been lully proven upon one side, and never attempted to be contradicted upon the other, that the doors of the Stale House were broken and entered sometime during the night of Sunday last that a clandestine entrance into ll.e House, brfore the hour of eight in the morning, was cfiVcled by Ihe Lucufoco me in be rs elect to the House, their friends and supporters that a surreptitious organization by one parly atone, without notice to and in fraud of the other, was hastily made, in which all the usul farms hitherto attendant upon legislative organization were entirely dispensed with, and that all this was done in pursuance of a regularly concerted plan for that purpose. We do not deem it necessary further to fallow up Ihe in is re presents lions of this official address, as lliey all hang ft r their existence and plausibility upon the leading falsehood. Having represented themscves to lie in the right, it follows, as a matter of course, that they must declare the other party lu be wrong. Having depicted their friends as orderly and peacefully pursuing the law, they must necessarily charge their enemies with seeking by riot and turbulence to pro mote a breach of Ihe law. They do this with the wholesale directness of men who, having committed the master wickedness, think it in bad taste after wards to shrink from any of its subsidiary circuinstsn- ces. It is easy enough to understand why partisans aa keen and politicians as unscrupulous as l Grand Uy-ington, Samuel Starkweather, and their asociatca, should commence where they did, in their attempts to indoctrinate the people of the State with false impressions in regard to this phase of their revolution. They know what their slow-witted organ here failed to see, that their only hope, in the trial of the issue which they have made before the people of the Slate, de pends upon their being able to do away with all evi dencewith every feature with every shade of suspicion of fraud on their part, in regard to their organization and the place they occupy. They know that before this question every other becomes insignificant. Even the connecting claims of the Hamilton members are of no consequence In comparison with il. Upon llteir heads lies the damning charge of preconcerted fraud. It hangs over every move which they make. Il vitiates all that they do. It gives character to everything they undertake. It taints etery aot and tinctures with ilsowncriininalityeverj measure, however otherwise just and commendable. Uul these men, able and unscrupulous as they are, have undertaken a task to which they are unequal. The people of the Slate were prepared before hand for lid n n such as is now ringing in their eara. They knew that either by force or by fraud, the Looofucos were long ao determined to gain possession of the Legislature this year. They had seen a Revolutionary Convention of reckless partisans called to meet at the eat of Government on the very day appointed by the t'unslitulien for the organization of the Legislature They hid heard of the eels of fraud that had been perpetrated by election boards and canvassing nflicers, hy which men not elected were given claims to seats that they might sid in a L'icofocn organization. They were advised that either by means of ihe legislature or the revolutionary body, the Locufitco lea tiers were now determined to grasp the power of Ihe State, and to arrange it for their control in perpetuity. And prepared for tales of fraud or for sets of force, fir stealth ot murder, they are not to be surprised at the strange histories thai have reached them, and will be slow of belief that all has been ss fair, as open and as honorable aa these plausible officials would lain have them believe. As to the authors of the address itself, we have nothing to say. We leave them to a eonsciouanesa of what they have done, and the worst thing we can in conscience wisii them is, thai their address be read by every citixen of the Stale of Ohio. A short visit to the Hall of Legislation. ! We chanced to drop into the Hall of the House of Representatives, at a very early hour on Thursday morning. A chill of dampness struck us is we entered the door, and the smell that greeted our nostrils was that of humanity too long kept in a confined atmosphere. The demand fur chloride of lime was most apparent. The candles guttered down, and their un- no. (Fed wicks rose high and portentous. The rats performed sntto minuets on the floor. Tho honorable gentleman from Stark nodded with dignity and grace in the Speaker's chair, and at intervals sent forth a full, clear, and well connected snore, the evidence, aa we fake it, of a clear conscience and a sound constitution. A few members stretched here and there upon the desks, responded in every variety of tone, to the nasal trumpelings of his honor, the chairmnn. No soul was awake, but a subordinate, who as we made our appearance, walked to Ihe speaker's chair and awoke its occupant by a few pats on the back and shoulders. The snort with which ho sprung into consciousness was highly musical and emphatic. We were looking for an express with the President's Menage, and look our stand for a few moments in the outer door of the House, where wisdom is wont to congregate. Now and then a rat ran past and entered the building. 11 Walk up gentlemen," said we, " present your credentials and be sworn in." A dog growled ot his fellow across the street. " Order, gentlemen," rose to our lips in spite of every attempt to suppress the exclamation. We were laboriously endeavoring to recall and give with all proper vehemence of tone and ferocity ot gesture one of Mr. Pugh's harangues in the House ; and were feeling fldliered at having achieved a reasonable portion of success in the imitation, when Hark I a wild rry c nines over the hills in the direction cf Franklin ton ; He e e e-hip e-e-e-hip.e-hip-e hip. Sure tiiet's a message. It's Jack Polkstnlk's prnnunciatnento to his friends in tho House, Give way for the member from Ass land ! GuEflSRD ItioiiT. A correspondent, who writes us ! from Piqua, under dale of Dec. 4lh, says : " While I write, I suspect that the d 1 is to pay in your city, in attempting to organize the lower branch of Ihe Le. gialalure. I hope the Whigs are prepared for the worst. Let the right be maintained, whatever it may cost. I hope to hear a good account from our friends. Let them ask fir nothing but what is right, and sub. mil to nothing wrong." We publish the abovo for the purpose of showing the suspicion tint was universal throughout Ohio before the day of organization, that s'oiie trick would be played oil' by the Lncofoco leaders of the Stale, or some act of violence committed hy which they would either secure a numerical supremacy in the I louse, or prevent a seHsion. We have another object in giving it publication. We believe that it apeiiks Ihe senti incuts of the orderly and peaceful of all parties, in regard to the duties of those memlers,in fraud of whom this breach of our constitutional peace has been com milted. In this case, to submit to snd sulfer, is to do a wrong. There is no midilte around. Let the Whigs Ktmid Firm I There is no earthly doubt but the great Whig par ly will, to a man, auilniu thtir Representatives in the position they have taken. Indeed, every day brings to Columbus, from all parts of the Stale, the exclamation, " Let tub Whios stand ritt ! " The following is an extract of a letter from an in telligent Whig of Licking county (o a citizen of this city : As thinvs now present themselves to my mind. I hope tlui Wings will stand firm as ihe everltaling hills in the position they have assumed, because I think they are in the right. I will cheerfully pay my proportion to keep the Whig members at Columbus until the first Mondny in December nxt, rather than have the tit yield one inch of the ground they have taken. ue it mgs ui LiicKing coumy siana reauy w ao tue Compiomisea The Whigs of the House of Representatives have abundantly manifested their disposition to rrTcl an organisation, by proposing terms of mutual concession, and by a ready assent to such terms proposed by others not connected with either of the two great parties into which that body is divided. They have done all that they oould with propriety do perhaps more than they were strictly justitiable in doing, to bring about this object. Their repeated efforts have been met only by a supercilious demand of what they can never concede. Ms koftetktri may It no mart offer $ of fmpromif prottdtng from the it'higtof the House, Their po sition ii onk nr RIGHT. Let the in plant them selves upon it, and there aside. The people of the first district of Hamilton county have clearly as good a right to be represented in tho Legislature as sny other district in the State, Why should they be asked to surrender or M compromise" that right f Have their chosen representatives here any authority, from any source, to barter or in any manner enmpromit the rights ot their constituents f Clearly not. Then why should they be asked or ex pected to do lot Let it then be henceforth regarded aa a ft it en har. In all propositions for orsaniiinir tho House, that the rights of the people of thst district un der the law, are to be fully rteognised and maintain- . The st are our sentiments. IT Mr. John G. H bin, of Westford, Ohio, who writes a long letter upon his discontinuance of our paper, mitlakps his position In regard to us. He was not our " patron," but our turtomtr. He bought Ihe Journal because he wanted it, not because he wished to benefit its publishers. If he does not want It now, we have no claims upon him Ia purchase it. If he will carefully examine Ihe whole matter, however, he will find that il is himself (hat has changed, and not us. His censure of us for Ins own political vagaries st both unjust and ungenerous. Tricks ! Tricks ! Among ihe infinite variety of trickery which is played ofT by the Locnfuco Rump in the State House, there is one game which deserves notice for the boldness Willi which it is constantly played. The business of the body consists in contin ual "calls of the House, as they are termed, which consists in the reading of a roll of the names of persons who are supposed to be members, who are requested to answer as their names are called by the clerk, who, at the close of the call, reports to the chair, and the chair to the assembly, the number present and answering Within our own observation, in two several cases, the thing waa as follows: At one call IVi persons answered the announcement waa 3ti; in another, 34 answered, and 37 was the number an nounced. " It hat do yoa mean by thit inftrnal noise f G-d n you! He'll tkroie you out of the tcindow." These, as taken down by a reporter on the sput, were the words addressed by Col. George W. Morgan, one of the pack of Locoioco bullies who now make their den in the House of Representatives, to Mr. Ilulcnmb, chairman of the preliminary organization of the House, on Tuesday last, at a time when Benjamin F. Letter addressed one of his creatures, whom he called Bear geanl-al Arms, with orders to call assistance and clear the House. Now we make no comment on the enormity of such transactions, for the people uf Ohio will comprrhend t fully without explanation. All we have lo say is, that Col. Morgan's words sound heavy and terrible. but it is the loud repoit of a gun without shut. He will be as little likely to hurt people, as any man in the State, for the very simple reason thai tie haa no great appetite lor getting hurt himself. Look Cult Il will be seen by reference tn the proceedings in the Senate this morning, that Mr. Ewino, a Senator from Hamilton county, proposes to introduce a bill "to remodel the State government." Shades of It'ur- thington, and Ktrktr, and vnrpy, and Raldteiut and 1 1 mil Hf! ton, una lleils, and their compeers, defend us! They supposed they had framed a Constitution, and had provided in that instrument the minner in ahich it should be modified or changed. Good, easy souls, they were behind the age" nr rather, they lived loo soon lor the improvements of the present age. But here comes Senator Ewinq from Cincinnati, with notice of his intention, by the aid ot a 8enate not yet organized, "fo remodd the State government." Is (Air thenWs of the grand Donkey Convention which stt here on the lOtli of May Snd set agtin by adjournment (for incubation) on the first Monday of December f " Was uot that a magnificent Jtulet Duties or Elxctohi. On Wednesday last the Presidential Electors of the State of Ohio met at the Statesman office, and caat their vote forCaasand duller. They then proceed to draw up an address to the people of Ohio, "in relation lo the late riotous course of the Federsl inemberi of the Ohio Legislature, and those who back them, in their attempt to overthrow the law making power of the government and to bring il into contempt." The above words of description are from the Federal Statesman, aud we have only to add our hope, that the Federal Eleclora in their tddresa will give the Federal me miters just what they deserve. For lha Ohio Mat Journal. Whig Vindk'Mion. Messrs. Editors .From the following extracts of a letter received from a good arid true V dig of pattern Ohio, your readers may see that tho right spirit is among the people: "TvM the Whios to itaxi i;p roa the RifiiiT, anii adopt ()i,n ACK i'irn. meiit- NEVER SURRENDER.' .Uk othig that is mmf, and submit to mo wrong !

Certainly no one oould Piped less. Everyman of rationality must regard Ihe Loco, foco club as a poorly organised nmb. Those men have not taken possession of the State House lor sny purpose other than to place in the Halls of legislation tire men who knee not been ttetted sysay Inutof Ohio. Their pur pts is treasonable their every act ia one of usurpation ; and that they are not ejected from the Hall of the H"Ue is an unheard of set nf moderation and forbearance on the part of Ihe Stale Govern ment, I he people riemand energelie action, and let ihe Whig members beware, lest their moderation be-eonies so great aa to lae them Ihe confidence of the unflinching Whigs of Ohio. They may err in lenity they nerer run in mergy. God ssve the Reoubhe I O.NLOF THE VOTEHS. Voice ot the Press. We are beginning to receive from the press of the State the opinions of the people upon the subject ot the extraordinary scenes which have transpired in the House of Representatives of Ohio, during the present week. Wo are happy to say, that as far as received, they one and all speak in terms uf approval of the course of the Whig and Free Soil members, and that without exception they demand of them to be firm in support of the right to do every thing for conciliation, but to yield no principle and submit to no unjust dictation. We give a few extracts From the Lancaster Gazette. Although the Locofocos, first by a trick, and then by force, have attempted to take ponnexsion of the Chamber of the House of Representatives, tho Whign have met snd done what they could to organize, pence-ably snd properly, but with k determined spirit. The House now stands adjourned until to-morrow morning. The Locofocos, we suppose, will remain in the State House during tlie night snd engage in the same bticchsnalial revels of Inst night, in which a notorious Supreme Judgo was a chief actor. From the Cleveland True Democrat. Columbus Thk Lfoislatukc We hear nothing definite from Columbus. We hope that ere this the Legislature is regularly organized. The only difficulty we see in a quiet organization of the House, is the admission of the two Cass men from Cincinnati. They are not entitled to seats. The Clerk violated the law when he gave th a certificate, and (hey have no moro right I he re than Mr. Ren. Northrup, the Cass candidate in this county. It is a wrong and a fraud for those men to claim the seats. They never should have (hem with our consent, if ws had a vote there. We believe in legal, honorable, manly, independent action in organizing the LeiruUiu.e In tins course nothing can be lost every tiling can be gained. From the Springfield Republic. No revolution no disorganization no anarchy, Is the motto of the Whigs. Let Ihe representatives of the people stand firm the people will sustain the in. Let there he a spirit of compromise but no compromise uf principle, no qiiiiKing or quailing. You are right, gentlemen; stamp past ! From the Scioto Gazette. Hence the organization by the Whigs becomes a matter of necessity, in order that all the Districts might he called. The Whigs have organized according to usage they have called repeatedly on the Lo. cos to come in under the proper organization but the said Locos have hitherto refused, and do still refuue, to ihu damage of the State, her goud lame and fair reputation. From the Cincinnati Gazette. So far as we csn learn what has taken plice at Columbus, the violence and wrong are with the Locofocos. The Whigs Afire been quiet, orderly, litm uheyiug, right. Let tin m continue Jirm, demanding what ts right and mru, and in the usual course uf things, and they will meet the approbation of all well dijm. sed people, without distinction of party. We hear but one opinion among tho citizens. It is let the Whigs maintain their position, and the people trill sus tain thrm. The cons queiices of a failure lo u'uamze the General Assembly, will be far leis injurious lo (he best interests of the people of the Slate, and lo the Stale credit, than submission to tcrtwg- to the violent and revolutionary spirit, winch is puiliing iielf forward to rule or ruin us. Stand firm. The levy of taxes lo meet the obligations of the Slate can be made if there be no Legislature. As to the Supreme Court, it is belter to miss a term of that Court, than revolutionize the government. As to the Govt rnor, th incumbent holds on until his successor is elected and qualified. The vacancies on the bench and in other offices can be tilled hy the Governor. Noml which can follow a failure to organize the General Assembly, can equal that which mut inevitably follow an act yielding tho power of the State to Ihe lawless violence of those who arc striving, unlawfully and violently, to clutch il ! We are for a lawful organization an organization in a peaceful manner, and in the usual way. Wo would insist, to the last, for what is right, sod yield lo nothing wrong. We say then, tn our friends, and in so saying think we utier the sentiments of s large majority of the people nr. a n a no ikbmtupo thf RlftllT, AND TIEI.D TO NOTHINO WHONO. STANII FIRM ON THE CoffSTITl'TION AMP TIIK LAWS, End leave re. suits to the sober judgment of the people. They will sustain you in such a course. From the Cincinnati Alia. For three days Mr. Leiier's sijuid havrrrnnWin the State House, as Ihe Turks did in Europe They are aptly called the Prarisianal Government; for they carried their provisions with them. The provisons nave neen sciecieu according lo the Sawyer fashion ; consisting of sausages, hard biscuit and runty cheesi-! In the matter of this encampment, it is plain the Provisional Government have put lhemelves lo unnecessary discomfiture, for their opponents could do nothing without them, and therefore Ihey might just as well have enjoyed their dinners and their beds at the hotels. In Ibis respect, the other parly have had much the most practical view of tho matter. Perhaps, however, there is siiother reason why Mr. Lei-ter's squad prefer encamping in th Stale House. If thitfp is no organization there will be no pay, and Mr. Leiler and his men think il will met far less to live in the Stale House, on bread and cheese, than it will to hoard at the Hotel ! The point of the whole business is this : There are seventy members, out of the seventy-two, who have primn facie legal certificates, and an apparent right to their seats. There is no reason in Ihe world why these seventy should not orgnmz, ss the Senate did, and then decide the disputed case. Why not? because Mr. Inciter's squad will not agree to a prnpo-sition so palpably just. They insist that two men from this county shall take their seals (making a majority) who claim those seals in open djunfe af the rery law by which the election was governed! .Ve suck thing shouid Ac submitted to on ony terms. From Ihe Circlcville Herald. Uul how whs it with the " Democrals" f They resolve to be first to possess themselves of the Hall; every thing is arrsnged to secure this object; liny have men silling up all night watching, and tiro hours liefore the usual time of meeting they rush into the Hall, and at once proceed to call Hamilton county, that Ihey may steal in the men not entitled In st ats, before the Whig members could possibly lie there to object?

This ia a plain and common sense question and it addresses itself to the sound good sense of every reflecting man It is too plain to need comment too self-evident, as to its merits, to need argument to dem on st rate it. We leave it with our readers simply remarking, that now may be seen, as a noonday sun, how flinwey and ridiculous were the pretences of the self-styled Democracy in claiming a majority in Ihe Legislature, and how dishonest and nefarious the means resorted to to cover up their fraudulent and wicked designs. Let every citizen look at this matin the light of truth and justice, aud decide accordingly. That decision wo du nut fear, but we are quite certain there are lhot0 who not only fear it, but in due time, wilt bo made to fuel it in the overwhelming indignatiou uf an outraged and defrauded constituency. From the Piqua Register. The Lncofoco members of the llouae have ihus far in the attempt toorganize, manilested more of the mob npirit than any other. They show themselves determined not to do right. To us it appears impossible thai an organization can be effected. The Licos claim what we hope the Whigs will never allow them llmt is the right to control the body by thrusting into il, ns members, men whom the peopla refused to elect fur that purpose in other words, men who were defeated at the polls are to be forced upon the people as their Representatives, and those who were chosen denied the privilege of seals in the House. We hope the Whigs will never submit to tin, be the consequences what they may. Thus fur they (Ihe Whigs) have ask ed for nothing but what is rig'it; we hope they will under no circumstances submit to any flung wrong Their rights arc clear, they know them let them ad here to them and defend thorn to the last.

In the House, on Saturday, December fcUh, Mr. Olds of Pickaway, on the Whig side of tho House, moved the adoption of the following resolution: iHrsolredt That a committee of five be appointed by tins House to inquire into and report upon the causes which havo thus far prevented a more perfect organization of this House." The motion having been stated hy the chairman, (Mr. Holcniub,) Mr. OldB proceeded to address the House, as follows : Mr. Chairman : 1 present tins resolution and urge its adoption for reasons that must be apparent to every member in this House. We have just listened, with patient and respectful attention, to the leading of a report by the gentleman who officiates as cterk of the partially organized body on the other side of this hall, which purports to set forth, in true colors, the causes that hove hitherto prevented their full organization. We are here, sir, and have been here for days, with a partial organization on our side of the House, and any one who will permit his memory to call up the exci ting and tumoltuour scenes of Monday and luesday last, will perceive reasons enough for a conflict of opinion and a conflict of narrative in recurring to events which then transpired, without being left to suppose that there has been a wilful perversion of the truth. I am not hero to charge gentlemen un the oilier side of the House with un intentional mm representation, in their report, just read iu our hearing, of any of the occurences of the last fewdays, winch are now becoming history ; bull feel it tnbe my duly, and I claim to be my right to say, in Ihu hearing of every man claiming a scat in this hall, that the narra tive contained in that report is widely different from my recollection of the facts. Such statements, mrnle here or elsewhere, with whit motives 1 do not pretend to judge, shall not he permitted to go forth to the world with my silent acquiescence. In justice to myself and to my W liig brethren around me in these seats, I claim the right, na n sworn member ol' tins House, to narrate these facts as they occurred under my own nbnc rvation, and 1 do it now, in the presence ol all who have been actors in these scenes, that I may at once be set right if my narration is not a truthful one Allow me, however, first to say, Mr. Chairman, that I have presented this resolution, and now otl'er lliesa remarks entirely upon my own responsibility, without any time for reflection or previous arrangement, without any consultation wiifi my friends around me, and indeed in apparent conflict with their wishes as expressed this morning before we enlered this hall. For, sir, when they instructed me to present the pre-nmble and resolutions which have just been adopted, declaring our acceptance of the plan for an organizx. lion of this House proposed in our hearing on yesterday hy the gentleman from Genuirii, (Mr. Riddle,) for himself and his associates nlioie names are sp. landed thereto, they expressed the wish that il should tie done without remarks, for fear that ihe excitement of argument and the collision of debate might repel rather lliuii conciliate tltomt whom we seek to unite in harmonious action for the further organization of tins body. I seceded to thai r 'finest. Uot now, sir. with this report of these gentlemen unon the other side of the hall, starring us in the face and touching upon your conduct and mine as humble actors in "hese scenes, I feel th.it I have a higiier responsibility tlian tli a l winch connects me with these worthy asso- lates around me. I am tn speak tor myself, as a man, and for that honest constituency whoso rights I am sent here to protect. Tlie present week which is now cloaing, has been to me the moat pmitul week ol y existence. I came into this ball on Monday mor ning, a young and inexperienced Representative, anxious to discharge my duty faithfully, aud with timid distrust of my own ability ; si d I am no about to leave it on the last day m the week, without having seen even an organization of this House perfected. I linu a pirti.il organization upon the one aide, and a partial organization on the other side, each silting without a quorum to do business, and neither one recognizing tlie validity or legality of the oilier. What has produced this state ol things? Let the facts as ihey have transpired speak for themselves. un Ajrtnnay morning, having breakfasted in a private family at an early hour, I went to my room at the Capitol House and called upin one of my aso. ciatea, a member elect nf this House 1 learned from linu that his breakfast hour had not yet arrived 1 left him and walked in the direction of the State House. Seeing Ihe doors open, I entered for the purpose of ascertaining what seat had been assigned me by the officer who had charge of the Hall, and to make the acquaintance of any of the members who might hap pen io ue present. II was then near o o clock in ihe morning, and I had understood that ihe usual hour for the meeting and organization of the House was at 10 o'clock. 1 had been in the Hull about ten minutes, when hearing a rap at the Clerk's desk, and turning in that direction, I saw some onu cillmg the Hoiue io order, and heard hnn calling the members from Hamilton county. Thereupon five gentlemen presented themselves and handed to the one who had assumed to act as chairman, papers which I supposed were certificates of election At tins moment Mr. Holcomb, member elect from Gillia county, rose and addressed the chairman, who politely turned towards him, and seemed to be attentive to what he was say-ing. Rut in Ihe mean time, and at Ihe very moment while Mr. Holcomb was objecting, Judge Read, of the Supreme Court was quietly sdoiimstering the oath of office lo the five gentleman from Hamilton county, and within one rnnnile from the time Ihe first call was made, they were all sworn in, and taking their seals as members. Mr Holcomb, see in 7 this, refrained from speaking, and took Ins seat. The call was con. linued hy the gentleman acting ss chairman, and when concluded, some thirty, or perhaps thirty-one or two members had reneived the oalh of office, and taken their sests all of these were Democrats. As near as I can ascertain, there were at that time only eight Whig members in the House, and they, disgusted al the indecent haste, and regarding this attempt at an orgamzilion as illegal, inasmuch as the apportionment law of the State was wholly disregarded in the very nrsi siep, ana as no quorum was present, declined participating in it, and remained silent in their seats. De-fore HI o clock the call had been once or twice repealed, and some two or three more Democratic members had been sworn snd had taken their seats. At 1(1 o'clock, Ihe Slate House bell having been rung as usual, and the memtiers generally appearing to be in the House, a call for credentials was again mads by the assumed chairman, he neglecting how ever to call Hamilton county. Mr. Spencer, member elect from the first district of Hamilton, county, rose aim enquire a riainnioo coumy wouia not Oe united. The gentleman in the Chair re pled, " Hamilton county is already full." Mr Spencer remarked, I am here, sir, with credentials showing that I am elected to represent the first dinlnct of that county, and I with lo present them that they may be examined.'' The getiilemau in the chair declined to receive them, aud Mr. Spencer sal down. Having thus learned thai a legl organisation was resisted by those who had usurped Ihe places ot power in Ihe House, it was moved and carried un the Wing side, that Mr. Holcomb art ss Chsirman, and Mr. Swill, the Clerk of the last Mouse, as Clerk, for the purpose of legally organizing the House. Mr. Holcomb, ss Chairman. Ihen called the counties and districts in alphabetical order accord ing to long eatamuhed usage, and all Ihe Whig members present, (race pimg ouu who had previously han. ded til Ins certificate lo ihe other chair man,) presented their credentials and received the oalh of ofiire ad ministered by Kq Martin, a magistrste of Columbus.
