Here is the secret of the ill-digested spleen linn ileal en by one of the Hamilton delegation, at the tardiness of the Cincinnati Lnqairer to cmne to tho rescue of the fifteen conspirators, when importuned from this place hy telegraph and by mail. The position of the conspirators was too monstrous to admit of "approval or ap- "Kry-' New York Hiirununier's Couvcntlon.

Can Locolocuism gay su much? A part from the idea of a cimctttinn to rebellious t nit (rjr, who haw set Constitution, Laws and the good ! name of Ohio, at d fiance, periling its peace by their had no nuorum. Its right to receive a message was as i ' . . ' . . The Apportionment Lnw. As great cry has been uttered about the bill "to fix and apportion the representation of the General A- inl-ly of the Stale of Ohio," during its progress through the two Mouses; and ns it hna been violently denounced as ' unconstitutional ," especially since its passage, wo propose to best w a few hasty thoughts upon the bill, uud upon some of tho objections urged ngninst it. It is conceded among all candid men who have ex amined tlis law, we believe, that so far as equality of rtprestntation and continuity of territory are concerned, the law is as fair and as unexceptionable as it could be made. In this respect, thu law is diveuted of those monstrosities which rendered former laws for districting the State so justly obnoxious to complaint. So fur as we have observed, there has been no complaint in this particular ; and it may betaken for grunt- d that there exists no ground of complaint on that score. Rut it is charged that the law is 11 unconstitutional," because itcoiistitutestwnelection districts of the county of Hamilton. How unconstitutional ? The bccoimI section of the first Article of the Constitution of Ohio provides that the number of representatives having been fixed by the Legislature, shall bu ' apportioned among the several counties, according to the number of white male inhabitants above twenty-one years of ago in enc.hl"w). Tlie first section of the Act recently passed, apportions "To the county of Hamilton, two Senators and five Representatives." Here then. s a literal compliance with the requirement of the Constitution. The law has apportioned to the county nf Hamilton, as nearly ns practicable, its appropriate number of Senators and Representatives. Rut the Act in the same section further provides, that " So much uf said county of Hamilton us is corn-prised within the limit, ns now constituted, of the first, 'second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and glith wards of the city of Cincinnati, shall compose the first district, and shall be entitled lo one Senntor and two Representatives; the Senntor to be elected in the yenrs eighteen hundred and fotty-mue and hteen hundred and lifty-one ; so much of said coun ty of'Mainiltou as is not included in the first district, shall compose the second district, and shall bu entitled lo one Senator and three Representatives; the Senator to he elected in the years eighteen hundred nnd forty-eight, und eighteen hundred nnd fifty." And il is this provision which is denounced as vio lating Ihe Constitution. Left to our own unsophisticated reasoning, we should have supposed that the requirement of the Constitution whirli provides that the Representatives shall be apportioned among the several counties," was inten ded expressly to preclude the idea of electing members of the Legislature by "general ticket." Rut learned expositors having within the week past broached the opposite theory, and discovered for the first lime in fifty years, lhat there is no obstacle to choosing by gen- ral ticket," we will not now pause to argue thai point, specially ns il has become a mere abstract question by the pasingc of the Apportionment Lnw. Rut we have not yet been favored with a view of tint ponton of the Constitution which is violated hy this provision. Having secured to the white male inhabitants above twenty-one years of age in each county their jutt and appropriate inlliience in electing a nie-nber of the General Assembly, the Constitution rests the subject. The Legislature in its wisdom sees proper to carry this principle of the Constitution a step farther and finding a county to which is "apportioned " two Senators out oflhe llli composing that branch uud five Representatives uf the 7' members of the popular brnnch, enacts that u certain portion nf that county, with a population of I (1,4 II while mule inhabitants above 'JI years of age, shall be entitled to elect one of those Senators, and two of those Representatives ; nnd lhat the elher portion of the county, With IU,.Mi'.l like inhabitants, ahull be allowed to choose the oilier Metunor, and ihe remaining three Representatives. This is the long and the short of the matter bringing the Representative lo a more imuiedi -to refp maibilily to his constituents. Rul exception has been taken as to the manner of passing the bill; ti"J upon this point a great uproar has been made, lo divert the public attention from tho facts, and to gel up n false issue. And here dates arc of service. Thu App irliontucnt bill van passed in the Senile on Friday, the '--,tli of January, altera pro-traded discussion, nud was sent to the House. In the House it underwent all the usual formalities of legislation, and ulVr having been freely examined in committee of the wlnde, and tully and amply discuss- ed in the House, where it received sundry amendment, it was passed in the House on Thursday, the llith of February, having been pending in the House one day less than two weeks. In former years similar bills were passed through both branches in less than half that time. The bill had then pt.n built brandies, as early as list Thursday week. What remained lo make it a law, was to dispose of the auieiiiluieiils made tu the bill by the House of Representatives. And up to this tune, we hive reason lo believe there was no sc. rious intention on thu part of the minority to resort lo extraordinary measures to prevent its passage-. That determination wns taken nt a later dale and was in sln'itcd from without, (tut few, we h ive charity lo believe, even nf the ' fifteen" who lent themselves to the conspiracy, were fully apprised of Ihe ultimate , designs uf those who wen urging hem forward in a course of treason and rebellion. The plum for litis conspiracy were matured between thu evening of Saturday, the l'ith and meridian of Monday, thu l llh iusl. A part of Ihe House amendments hid been agreed to by Iho Senate, nnd a part disagreed to, on the lllh, when a conspiracy wns tully developed on the part nl lo Senators, to seize the government of the Stnte in iheir own hands, and exercise nn arbitrary authority over the Legif lalure! In this foul sch e they were frustrated by the It me receding from the pending amendments- Tin having been done, the bill became a law there was no longer a question p -nding respect ing it there remained no vole lo be taken. II ul il is said there wns no quorum ol the Senate present when the message was transmitted hy the House, and therefore the Seiinte could not receive a message. And it i ""id lhat there being no quorum present the Speaker hml no right to sign ihe bill. Who mnke these objections. Men who had them selves assumed the most extraordinary altitude, for Ihe express purpose of parih sing the legist itive func lions of the Stale ! Wiry object to the Sen at o receiving a messnge from the House for lack of a quorum and petinaciously absenting themselves trout duty a) mosl an entire wrek, fr i.o ether purpose thnn to prevent a quorum being present ! The people of Ohio are not so blind ns to tie unable lo see where the weight of responsibility rests Tho rivil wns well answered by Mr. Speaker Goimuhp, who said it might become necessary for the Senate to send a message to the House, to apprise lint body of the fact that il OHIO LEGISLATURE, I Mr. Lkwis in mi i red if therenurt Duroorled to coins from the committee.

Mr. Drakh reported back sundry resolutions relative in the Met nan W ar, with an amendment, sinking nut all and inserting the following Trramble and Resolutions : W hereas, war is a direful national calamity, moral, social and political, and when prosecuted by Ihe United Slates lor the conquest, dismenitiermciit ur tola) annihilation of a neighboring Republic, with a view to the auhugation or annexation of Us fallen, degraded and half civilised population, is adverse to the the genius nf our institutions, dangerous tn nurlilwrties, derogatory to our national 1 or and abhorrent to religion and humanity : Whereas, we art now engaged in ft war, tending to, and ty many of its advocates avow, cd lo be for Hut object; and whereat the State of Ohio, as constitutional member of the confederacy, embracing one. tenth of its population, and bearing nne-teuih of its enoimoiis burthens which the war must impose, feels il to he her right, nud her duty, to decla'e her upiutons concerning it . Therefore, 1. ilesolted, by the General Assembly of tlie Utate of Ohio, That any war which has lur us object the acquisition of territory by conquest, bringa into question the national chu racier, is in violation oflhe Constitution ofihe United States, in conflict with the ge. mus and spirit of our institutions, and dangerous to the perpetuity of ihe Union 2. ItMerri, That the war in whieh we are now enrrnir ed was not brought on by the act of Mexico, but by the unnecessary and unconstitutional act oflhe Tresideiit of the United Stales, in ordevimt tim irm. under ihe command of Gen. Taylor into territory then in possession of the Mexican Republic. - ucsotrea, l fiat we have no right to claim indemnity for the expenses of the war brought on by the ill-advised and unjustifiable act of our own nubho functionaries. 4. Ittsolvcdt That the honor of our Republic don not consist in exacting territory from Mexico, to which we havo no claim, and yielding to Great Britain territory the title lo which was asserted lo be "clenr and unquestionable, and that to evade the strong and pursue ifiu weak does not present Ihe honor, courage or greatness of nur people in their true light. . itnuireu, iitainoncw territory can oe annexea to the United Slates by virlue of the war without involving the agitation of doineslin dillicultien. beiu tliuir sectional animosities, and weakening the ties thai connect us together. o.

Ursohtd, That a conquering nation has nothing to apprehend from an exhibition of mairnanimitv nnd generosity to a defeated foe, and lhat a victorious army may retire from the pursuit of carnage and slaughter without incurring the imputation of reirealimrfruin tho scattered and discomfitted forces uf the enemy. u. ncsoiecii, j nat our institutions, founded on the rights of man, repudiate Ihe doctrine that might manes right, as the freebooter plea and the pirate law ; and so long as we offer an asvlum to the omiress- ed, and recognize life, liberty and the pursuit of hap piness among lite unalienable rights of men, we cannot insist upon the dismemberment or total destruc tion of an empire as the price of peace. iu.

Can Locolocuism gay su much? A part from the idea of a cimctttinn to rebellious t nit (rjr, who haw set Constitution, Laws and the good ! name of Ohio, at d fiance, periling its peace by their had no nuorum. Its right to receive a message was as i ' . . ' . . The Apportionment Lnw. As great cry has been uttered about the bill "to fix and apportion the representation of the General A- inl-ly of the Stale of Ohio," during its progress through the two Mouses; and ns it hna been violently denounced as ' unconstitutional ," especially since its passage, wo propose to best w a few hasty thoughts upon the bill, uud upon some of tho objections urged ngninst it. It is conceded among all candid men who have ex amined tlis law, we believe, that so far as equality of rtprestntation and continuity of territory are concerned, the law is as fair and as unexceptionable as it could be made. In this respect, thu law is diveuted of those monstrosities which rendered former laws for districting the State so justly obnoxious to complaint. So fur as we have observed, there has been no complaint in this particular ; and it may betaken for grunt- d that there exists no ground of complaint on that score. Rut it is charged that the law is 11 unconstitutional," because itcoiistitutestwnelection districts of the county of Hamilton. How unconstitutional ? The bccoimI section of the first Article of the Constitution of Ohio provides that the number of representatives having been fixed by the Legislature, shall bu ' apportioned among the several counties, according to the number of white male inhabitants above twenty-one years of ago in enc.hl"w). Tlie first section of the Act recently passed, apportions "To the county of Hamilton, two Senators and five Representatives." Here then. s a literal compliance with the requirement of the Constitution. The law has apportioned to the county nf Hamilton, as nearly ns practicable, its appropriate number of Senators and Representatives. Rut the Act in the same section further provides, that " So much uf said county of Hamilton us is corn-prised within the limit, ns now constituted, of the first, 'second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and glith wards of the city of Cincinnati, shall compose the first district, and shall be entitled lo one Senntor and two Representatives; the Senntor to be elected in the yenrs eighteen hundred and fotty-mue and hteen hundred and lifty-one ; so much of said coun ty of'Mainiltou as is not included in the first district, shall compose the second district, and shall bu entitled lo one Senator and three Representatives; the Senator to he elected in the years eighteen hundred nnd forty-eight, und eighteen hundred nnd fifty." And il is this provision which is denounced as vio lating Ihe Constitution. Left to our own unsophisticated reasoning, we should have supposed that the requirement of the Constitution whirli provides that the Representatives shall be apportioned among the several counties," was inten ded expressly to preclude the idea of electing members of the Legislature by "general ticket." Rut learned expositors having within the week past broached the opposite theory, and discovered for the first lime in fifty years, lhat there is no obstacle to choosing by gen- ral ticket," we will not now pause to argue thai point, specially ns il has become a mere abstract question by the pasingc of the Apportionment Lnw. Rut we have not yet been favored with a view of tint ponton of the Constitution which is violated hy this provision. Having secured to the white male inhabitants above twenty-one years of age in each county their jutt and appropriate inlliience in electing a nie-nber of the General Assembly, the Constitution rests the subject. The Legislature in its wisdom sees proper to carry this principle of the Constitution a step farther and finding a county to which is "apportioned " two Senators out oflhe llli composing that branch uud five Representatives uf the 7' members of the popular brnnch, enacts that u certain portion nf that county, with a population of I (1,4 II while mule inhabitants above 'JI years of age, shall be entitled to elect one of those Senators, and two of those Representatives ; nnd lhat the elher portion of the county, With IU,.Mi'.l like inhabitants, ahull be allowed to choose the oilier Metunor, and ihe remaining three Representatives. This is the long and the short of the matter bringing the Representative lo a more imuiedi -to refp maibilily to his constituents. Rul exception has been taken as to the manner of passing the bill; ti"J upon this point a great uproar has been made, lo divert the public attention from tho facts, and to gel up n false issue. And here dates arc of service. Thu App irliontucnt bill van passed in the Senile on Friday, the '--,tli of January, altera pro-traded discussion, nud was sent to the House. In the House it underwent all the usual formalities of legislation, and ulVr having been freely examined in committee of the wlnde, and tully and amply discuss- ed in the House, where it received sundry amendment, it was passed in the House on Thursday, the llith of February, having been pending in the House one day less than two weeks. In former years similar bills were passed through both branches in less than half that time. The bill had then pt.n built brandies, as early as list Thursday week. What remained lo make it a law, was to dispose of the auieiiiluieiils made tu the bill by the House of Representatives. And up to this tune, we hive reason lo believe there was no sc. rious intention on thu part of the minority to resort lo extraordinary measures to prevent its passage-. That determination wns taken nt a later dale and was in sln'itcd from without, (tut few, we h ive charity lo believe, even nf the ' fifteen" who lent themselves to the conspiracy, were fully apprised of Ihe ultimate , designs uf those who wen urging hem forward in a course of treason and rebellion. The plum for litis conspiracy were matured between thu evening of Saturday, the l'ith and meridian of Monday, thu l llh iusl. A part of Ihe House amendments hid been agreed to by Iho Senate, nnd a part disagreed to, on the lllh, when a conspiracy wns tully developed on the part nl lo Senators, to seize the government of the Stnte in iheir own hands, and exercise nn arbitrary authority over the Legif lalure! In this foul sch e they were frustrated by the It me receding from the pending amendments- Tin having been done, the bill became a law there was no longer a question p -nding respect ing it there remained no vole lo be taken. II ul il is said there wns no quorum ol the Senate present when the message was transmitted hy the House, and therefore the Seiinte could not receive a message. And it i ""id lhat there being no quorum present the Speaker hml no right to sign ihe bill. Who mnke these objections. Men who had them selves assumed the most extraordinary altitude, for Ihe express purpose of parih sing the legist itive func lions of the Stale ! Wiry object to the Sen at o receiving a messnge from the House for lack of a quorum and petinaciously absenting themselves trout duty a) mosl an entire wrek, fr i.o ether purpose thnn to prevent a quorum being present ! The people of Ohio are not so blind ns to tie unable lo see where the weight of responsibility rests Tho rivil wns well answered by Mr. Speaker Goimuhp, who said it might become necessary for the Senate to send a message to the House, to apprise lint body of the fact that il OHIO LEGISLATURE, I Mr. Lkwis in mi i red if therenurt Duroorled to coins from the committee.

Therefore, 1. ilesolted, by the General Assembly of tlie Utate of Ohio, That any war which has lur us object the acquisition of territory by conquest, bringa into question the national chu racier, is in violation oflhe Constitution ofihe United States, in conflict with the ge. mus and spirit of our institutions, and dangerous to the perpetuity of ihe Union 2. ItMerri, That the war in whieh we are now enrrnir ed was not brought on by the act of Mexico, but by the unnecessary and unconstitutional act oflhe Tresideiit of the United Stales, in ordevimt tim irm. under ihe command of Gen. Taylor into territory then in possession of the Mexican Republic. - ucsotrea, l fiat we have no right to claim indemnity for the expenses of the war brought on by the ill-advised and unjustifiable act of our own nubho functionaries. 4. Ittsolvcdt That the honor of our Republic don not consist in exacting territory from Mexico, to which we havo no claim, and yielding to Great Britain territory the title lo which was asserted lo be "clenr and unquestionable, and that to evade the strong and pursue ifiu weak does not present Ihe honor, courage or greatness of nur people in their true light. . itnuireu, iitainoncw territory can oe annexea to the United Slates by virlue of the war without involving the agitation of doineslin dillicultien. beiu tliuir sectional animosities, and weakening the ties thai connect us together. o. Itcsolvcd, I hat the State of Ohio orolesU u&ninst the i further externum of slavery in the Amt-ncaii Union, and hereby Instructs her Senators in Con cress and requests her Representatives, in case new territo. ry shall be, by any means, acquired, to insist that tho Treaty, Act or Resolution by which the same is acouir- ed, shall unalterably declare there shall be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude within said territory, except lortne puniaiimcnt ot crime, whereot the par ty snnu nave oeen uuty convicted. . rusoiera, 1 nut it the conquest of territory be not the object of the war, we can perceive no good reason fur continuing our troops in the heart of ihe enemy's country, by which their lives are unnecesnri-ly exposed, an our own resources uselessly expended. 8. Ursohtd, That a conquering nation has nothing to apprehend from an exhibition of mairnanimitv nnd generosity to a defeated foe, and lhat a victorious army may retire from the pursuit of carnage and slaughter without incurring the imputation of reirealimrfruin tho scattered and discomfitted forces uf the enemy. u. ncsoiecii, j nat our institutions, founded on the rights of man, repudiate Ihe doctrine that might manes right, as the freebooter plea and the pirate law ; and so long as we offer an asvlum to the omiress- ed, and recognize life, liberty and the pursuit of hap piness among lite unalienable rights of men, we cannot insist upon the dismemberment or total destruc tion of an empire as the price of peace. iu. Hesvlctd, lhat the Governor be requested lo forward a copy of the foregoing preamble and resolutions to the Tresidentof the United Stales, and lo each of our Senators and Representatives in Congress.
