Presently Ibe 8Ute officers elect, accompanied by the clot committee of the Seattle and House, oame Id. The Governor bad the arm of Chief Just-Ice Bartlkt. The oaths of office were administered to A demon F. Rushkll, Secretary of 8tate, A. P. Munb, Treasurer of State, Mabtib Wblkkk, Lieut. Governor, and to Salmon P. Cha.i, Governor of the State, by the Chief Justice. Immediately after, Governor Chase ascended be Speaker's stand, ami delivered bis admirable address, which appeared last evening ill Ihe Journal; atler which the two brancb-eH Keparaied, aud the Senators having amem bled in tbolr owu room, Governor Ford Introduced Out Gov. Wklkui, wbo delivered the addreos which will be found in another oolumo. The Mrvicee u both oocaUmi were lmrestive and eolfun. The bulla were densely crowded by oii'uibt're, Sute ofllcvrs tnd clliseus gener ally, toKether with a great mauy ladies, whose ctmi uis and beauty added to the interest of the tceue. A ftwr (ioveruor Welker bad mad bis address, Mr. held, the Democratic tieutlor from the Delaware and Lickiug district, tflered a resolution giving a vote ol thanks to Lieut, Governor Fohd fur the alile and luipartUI maooer lu which be had diK darned bis duties as presiding officer ot tin Kennle, which resolution was pa-sed by a unanimous aye. There was feeling aud heart la It. A mutiuu was then made that the ad-dremol Guvvrnor Wklkui be Insetted at leogth on Hie jur U it I of tbo tieuale, which was also carritd. The pei vices, as we said before, were solemn and iniprertflive. Every one feels regret at loo-lug the prvafiioe from our midst of Lieut Gov ernor Ford. No mau has more or warmer friends than be h u. His kind, good heart, aod honest purpose, his ability and integrity, have made a 1 anting tmpreosiou among our people here; and hit abfwnce from amoug , and his retire ment to private life, will beloog and deeply (lt. He leaves hire friends wbo are friends. and many of tbeio, who will ever oberistt lor bim the kindest regard, men wbo will mourn with him In advrrnily, and rejoice with him lu succeNS. "Ilore's to jou, Tom Ford." The Uu; in the Henat The Buchnnnn, Cincinnati Platform, Kansas resolutiooa which were reported lo the Senate on Saturday, by Mr. Phelps, the Senator from Auglaize, onma up for action this morning, and were gagged through without amendment, with out dittcusniou, ami in defiance of an express rule of the Bunate. When the resolutions were reported, they were laid upon the table and ordered to be printed; Mr. Phelps promising that when tbpy cmue up for consideration ample op portunity would no given Tor dfscuHion and amendment. This was right, and was satisfactory.This morning they came op for consfderstlun, but the promfM made on Saturday was violated. No opportunity whatever was given for diocuiwion, or lor amnndrntiot. The previous question wa moved and carried, aod the reso- lutirms were put upon their passage. When the name of Mr. Taylor, the Senator from Ma honing, wa called, he arose and aked to be excused from voting, aud proceeding Id accord unco with the r iles of the 8euale, briefly to state bis ruanons lor wiiuiug to be excused. He had not npoken more than a mlonte, when he was called to order by Mr. Langdon, a Sen ator from H naif I ton. Tbe Presldeut decided that, after the previous question had been earned, It was not in order to discuss tbe main question, but that wheo a member anked to be excupd from voting opon tbe main question, he had a right, aa expressly deolarad by the rules of the rienale, to slate his r atone for the motiou be bad mad. This decision, so just and proper, appeared to be saliafaciory, aod Mr. Tsylor was proceeding again to stale bis reasoot, when he was again called to order, and Mr. Laogdon appealed from tbe decision ol the Chair, taking as bis position that after the previous question hat been or dered, It la uot ooiupeteut for a member to give any reasons why be winked to be exoused. Tbe question was taken, and the appeal sustained; ao hefuuflir no Senator who asks to be excused from votiug on a oeitaiu measure, oan give any reasons whatever fur his request. This is wbati wo call pulling the gag on pretty strong. It Is not usual, In the first place, for a Senatorial body to have the previous question among their rules. The United States Senato ha no such rule, and very few of tbe State Senates aver apply such a rule to members wUblng to speak. lu our State Senate ll Is one of the u-exurables, aud Ota as tight ss a vb. During tbe diacueaion this forenoon, upon tbe question ot order, Mr. McOleery, the Senator irora tbe Jvffunon district, said he hoped that no Kopubiicaa would now attempt a discussion of the resolves, as it was evident that the ma jorlty laared dlsousslou, or feared that these resolutions would not bear discussion. It was highly proper that they should be forced through by the gag law. Such action was in perfiot aooordanoe with the practtoa of the National Administration, whioh they so "cordially ludorwd." That Admiuiilrallou had been for some time, aud uow is engaged In forofog down the tbruals of tbo Freemen of Kausaa the L oomplon ouoetitulloB, whioh they detest; and the Attempt here lu the Ubio Beuate, to force through these resolutions without discussion, aud by virtue of lha gag, was but ao videaoe or the fidelity ol the majority to tbe principles of that Administration. Tbe resolutions have passed the Benate, tweet and beautiful aa Ibey oame from tba Senatorial Mo-pan, "not a star obliterated nor a stripe eruwd." It would be muoh better If they bad bMJU rant directly lrom the caucus, instead ol delaylug their Journey to Washington by Intro ducing toem to tba Senate ohtmbar. Tba result would have bean tbe same, and aa they will 'wwive Id the Legislature tba anno votes tl U-ey reoeived In tba eauous, It is a mart waete of Una to bring them Into tba Legislature at 1 Mttiva Id tha Laul.l.tura Ui .'.I I Te.Ob.r "Wllll.tD.

A resolution might eaolly have been framed lu regard to Kansas affairs, which would have re oeived the united vote of the Legislature, with perhape the exoeptioo of tbe tioobananites, which would have gone abroad as ttie opioion of tbe people ol Ohio. As it now Is, the rera lutton adopted by the Senate only expresses the opinion of a caucus, aud, it the truth were known, not even that. The State Journal aud the Washington Ntttr. This very pretty pair, so excellently adapted to run In couples, are repeating each other's falsehoods, and quoting each other's unadulterated fooleries. We ate requested by Judge Rankin to say that be never otlered any resolution, In caucus, or elsewhere, complimenting Mr. Douglas, or ''pitching Into" any one. Ho resolution was ever ollered or discussed in which Mr. iouglas' oame was mentioued. StiitttiHan. Our neighbor of the Central Organ Is altogether at fault Tbe Washington 8tnr and the Ohio State Jturnal never, to our knowledge, entertained a political sentiment akin to each other. The Stur is a semi-ofiloial organ of Mr. Buchanan's administration, and its editor fa oh grown rich upon tbe drippings of the-'Democratic" treasury. It supports Buchanan; so does tbe SUtttmm. And It does it consistently; the Stati$mam does not. The Star opposes Senator Douglas, because bis policy aud Buchanan'! are diametrically opposite. The Slattt-man shuffles, rides on two horses, sits on two stools, looks one way aud rows another, aod therefore Is inconsistent aud illogical. The Star follows a straight line, boldly and fearlessly. Whatever Its faults may be, It has at least the merit of being consistent; which the Statuman has not. We, however, quote the above for the es peelal put pose of showing the eagerness of the Sutitmmn to disclaim that any resolution bad been proposed In cuuons here, that " that had Mr. Douttar name" iu it. This may be so, bat if it be so, it only shows that even as strong a Douglas man as Judge Rankin, did not dare to offer a resolution iu a Legislative caucus of bis party, in which "Mr. Dun k las' name was mentioned." Why Is lhiT What were Judge Rankin's resolutions? Were they not Intended to Indorse and sustain Judge Douglas! If so, why not meutlon bis name iu tbeni? Why is tbe 8(9tttmn so eager to disclaim, In its own and bis behalf, that the offensive nsme wax mentioned? Has it become so offensive to the democracy" of the Ohio Legislature tint it must not be mentioned! Such support as JudKt Douglas Is gettlog ben, is more than any man can stand. Tun Jail Bill. Mr. Brooke, the Hamilton eouoty member, appears anxious to press bis bill to open tbe jails of tbe State for tbe Incarceration of men, women and children accused of tbe crime of trying to be free, to a vote. Ye, terday afternoon he moved that it be apecially assigned for consideration at eleven o'clock to day. Mr. Andrews of Auglaize, whose position and experience In legislation properly points to bim as a leading miimberol the Democratic party was opposed lo tbe assignment; he did not think there were any pressing reasons existing wby the bill should be so bouored aud pushed forward as to get for it a special assignment. We regretted to hear him say, however, in the oourse of bis remarks that he luteoded lo vote for the bill. We think that the hardy yeomanry of the Northwest would much rather afford food and shelter for tbe poor and thyippreseed, tbsnjaiis. r ems pa inetr Representatives will tblnk better of this subject, and decline tbe support ot such a bill. If tbe slave interest of Cincinnati demands that tbe people of Ohio all furnish jails for tbe slave catchers, cer taiuly the free people of the rural districts do not make such a demand. We might, with as much propriety, build custom bouses and post offices for tba general government to carry out tbe federal laws, aa to build Jails for Ihe gene ral government to oarry out the inhuman pro visions of the Fugitive slave act. Mr. Brooke said that this was only ouo of a series which were to be introduced, to repeal the humane lawi of the Republican Legislature. This, then, Is the head the tail Is not yet in sight. His motion for a special assignment was very emphatically voted down. fcfA-Tbere were sixty puat masters, delegates at lbs Indiana Democratic State Ci nvention on the 6th. No wonder, says the Cincinnati Com- mtreiai, that the Administration was indorsed. T'ie Administration waa Indorsed this morning in the Ohio Senate, which bouorable body does not contain a single post master. Thi Belmont Cohntt Skat.

WEDNESDAY, - - - JANUARY 13, 1868 Tbe Senate Resolutions. The Buchanan, Cincinnati Platform resolutions which were yesterday foro-d through tbe Senate under the pressure of the gug screw, came up for action this morning In the House, There was a rumor that the same Senate tactics were to be introduced into the House, which tbe Republicans determined should not be done If they could wilh reasonable opposition defeat them. Several motion were made, and finally on motion of the member from Seueos, they were referred to a committee of one, who It was believed would report them back immediately and move tbe previous question. Mr. Wcstul Logan moved a reconsideration of tbo vole. and wan proceeding to make a speech, when be was called to order, and ruled by the Chair to be out of order. A short discussion ensued, landing whioh the House look a recess, Mr. West la a capital speaker, and was making a capital speech when be was ruled down. In connection with this, we ak tbe attention nf tbe public to the letter of Senator Taylor and the resolutions annexed." 1 Bill lo Erret Klave frVna In Ohio The In hale In fh" II tni iturday.

Indeed, there was very little lo rep'y lo. Mr. Itrooko seems to be. troubltd with tbe phantom of National and State comity. Mr. Moniou replied with great forre ai d eloqiieuCR. lie denied lhat comity or anything clce, required of us to nren our jails for alave pen, and to njxke our j tilers the keeper ol slaves. He aked whether the mem ber from Cincinnati would volunteer the u-o ol bis houw or barii for lite Imprisonment and safe keeping of poor men and women, whose only oruue wan that tliuy loved I ret d urn better than bondage; and, il bo would not do that, what right, he asked, have we to pun a bill to tax Ihe people of Ohio lo build jails and pay for keepers to catch and k ep fugitive slaves? Mr. Monroe quoted Irxm WelMer and Csl houn toshowtdat (hey did not Itelleve iu the conalilutiuiiailty of the Fugitive Law. He spoke ot its atrocious character and quoted with gieal ellvct fiotn tbe Senate journal of 1851, the resolution putved by thu Democrats of that year in regard lo it, wliich resolulioiis were sun lained by the voice and vote ol Henry B. I'ayne, tba lale Democratic candidate for Governor. Mr. Monroe si id lhat during tie last Uulierna-torial canvass, Payne made a speech at Klyr- ia, In which he declared that bis opinion of that law had undergone no change, ttnd that there wit no obligation resting upon ihe Slate to support It. It was a United Stales' Law, and the enforcement ol it must be by the Untied States. There were portions of Mr. Monroe's speech which were highly eloquent and impress Ive. Then agiin there were several exquisite satirical episode". Ho iinprospeil ibe House very favorably. Ho t-pokn ubout three quar ten of an hour. Air. Pawns of Cleveland, one of our best and most promising young Republicans, followed Mr. Monroe. He said that the gentleman from Lorain bail occupied much the peine grouud lhat he had intended to occupy, and he hod done it so well that hit would not attempt to repeat bis arguments. Nevertheless. Mr. Par added several new points, and acquitted himself very admirably. He appealed to Mr. Brooke to withdraw his bill from before (be House. Hn said that this was not a lime lo speak of comity with the South, when the entire nergiesof tnat section of country, aided and abetted by the Nation tl Administration, were engaged in extending slavery and entrenching upon the rights ol tbo Freo Stales. He would, hy no act of his, plane tbe people of Ohio in the altitude of voluntary slave catchers, such es this bill would nuke them. When Mr. Pardons floixhed, Mr. Brooke arose again todefeiid his "Nigger Pen bill." Noone tse on his sid t appeared anxious to defile their tlntrera wilh It. So he took the rl'ior.snd spoke lor about twenty minute. Ho made several latal admissions for I ho future w-)lare of his t.lesi-ed babj." He said distinctly that thTe was no law of Congnws, and nothing iu the con tl lotion, which required of us to build iails for the safe keeping of runaway negroes. The fugitive liW did nut demand it of us. No law ilemindt d it of us; but yet comity demanded it of us that W'i should help by voluntary tax at Ion, the slaveholders to catch their runaways. In other words, that the freemen inOhiotdiotild do voluntarily, what, in Miailssippi and tbo South, they do with their dog. Mr. Bnggx ol Fajettit, nest spoke, and made as good a little spe ch as we have heard lor many a day. Mr. Briggx Is young, with a fine open face, good flguie, and plnaaunt manners. His voice is rich and mellow, aud it has those flyiupathixiug chord which attract and sll'ect neu. Hie style of sH)aking is direct, plain and clear. He states bis prnHMilious concisely, aod argues loguully. He showed, by a few quota tions lrom legal authority, that wn were under no obligations of comity lo puss this bill: and further, thai w were under obligations ol no kind whatever lo paM such a law. He aid It would be regarded, especially wheu taken In connection with the resolution which hod Iwen gagged through the Seuale, as another degiad ing suinnixsioo to tbo deiuanda ol the slave power. For one, he would never commit hi constituents to any sueb a bill. It was not asked lor by any one, while he knew lhat the lawol thrt last Legislature waa satisfactory to ihe people whom bo had the honor to repre sent. Mr. Hatch of Greene, next spoke, and mado a ten strike In a abort speech, showing that tho majority ot member lu Hie lloit-e rirteeutd a minority in the Statu, The torty-toor Republican meiutiers represented six thousand more people than tbe silly two heimHiraiic in inliers. The Republicans had alsi ob-cted tb-lr U over nor aud State ticket. It Ibureloro was owing to the niitair gerrymander of tho State Into election dlatiicla, and not lo the voice ol the people lhat the Legislature ns Democnlic Ibis year. Tho speech told wall, ll waa lull of points, and our readers will 11 nd a fair report ol It under tbe legislative bead. When Mr. (Jatch flniehed, tho committee roso, and reHirted progress, and ai-ked b-ave to sit again. Thus closed tho gnstl di lute. Wo do uot think the bill will lie made a strict pany caucus measure. The Republicans to a man will vote agniosl thu bill, and we hope there will be a Mifflcb nt number of Democrat also, wbo wilt vote agaiust il, aud thuMsave lbeStal from d if grace. There Is a great detdre to know wbal that "Inlormaliou" Id, which Senator I'help nas received tn regard lo stlalrsln Washington which made ll necessary lo apply the sag ml to the tin pan resolutions In the Senate, tblt- morning, and caused him to violate the promt be made oo Saturday, to have a full aud fall uiwuauoa oi worn. A Demorralle Authority against tbe Acrobat KestfutlouN, The Democratic Citizen, published at Leba non, tbe editor of wbiob, W. 0. Gould, was a prominent candidate for Clerk of the House, publishes the Senate resolutions in regard to Kansas affairs, the Administration, and the Cincinnati platform. The editor says: "We must confess that we do not admire the policy, or the roan, whoever he Is, who Introduced them. They advise intervention, tbe very doctrine against which the Kansas bill and the Democratic party protest. They 41 blow hot and cold," aud Iu our opinion should never have been pawed. They instruot our Representatives tu go beyond tbe Constitution of the United Stales, aud vote against tbe admission Of Kansas under tbe Coustitutiou presented. We think no Congressman has tbe right to vole against tbe ad mission of any State, which presents a Constitution republican in Its character and in consonance with tbe Constitution of tbe United States.

On motion ol Mr. Phelns. tho Sonata J tint Resolution, iNe. I relative to Kaiiaaa atfaiis, were taken up. Mr. Phelps said be waa about to make a mo-lion whioh he regretted he abuuld be oompalliHl to make. Under other eiroumntanoes he would be willing lu attord aw pie opportunity lor dts ousston. But olrcumstauoee oalled lor immedi ate action, and it was imperative lo loae no time. Did not lima preos.aud every ciroutnstanoe point agaiust delay, he would interpose no ob- jotjuwu, nut wouiu oe reaoy to discuss wiin gen tieuwD to inetr nearte' eoutent. Aod should tbe opportunity, arise involving the tame principles, before the oloe of tbe session, auioh opportnnlly would be glveu, but he now lelt houud to move tor the orevious uuestioo. He did not now wish debate, nod ealled lor fcw) yeas and nays. Mr. Cad well said: Before t e vote was tukeo be wished the Senate to Comdder this speech, (which be held in bis hand,) as made. Mr. Blade said be desirefl to reiterate tbe same thing. Mr. Taylor said he did not m ike a similar request, as he intended to make his speech. Mr. MofJleary said the minority would have tbe satisfaction, at )ot, ol publishing what they might have id tended to say, in the newspapers.Mr. Green regretted the course adopted by the majority to pre v tut free discussion. Mr. Can held did n t rise lo express feelings of indignation, or to give uotice of hie inteution to publish a speeoti on tbe subject ; but the oourse of the majority was unprecedeuled,-and it was unmanly to gag dowu tbe freedom ot speech, Mr. Buckland thought the gentleman from Auglaize bad taken his precedent lrom some highway robber, lhat he seemed to see tbe necessity for auch baste. Tbe motion for the previous question prevailed -yeas 20. uayn 14. Mr. Winaos said that as debate was now out of order, he would simply remark tbat the res olutious offered presented a difficulty. The first and second resolutions sustuioed the Cincinnati Platform and tbe Adimuistiation of James Booh auan. Tba preuuipiiou in that ev.ry ouo koows what is Ihe law, but how could it be presumed that Mr, Hatch rose to a question of order. Mr. Winaos said be was uot debating the question, but would call lor the reading ot Ihe Cincinnati Platform. Mr. Uunkle called for ibo Life of James Buchanan.Mr. McKelty said that the Senators would be furnished at their rooms with tbe documeuls asked lor. The Senate proceeded to vole. When the name ot Mr. Taylor was called, he oked to be exuused from voting, and proceeded to give his reasons. The resolutions bait boon so framed that it waa not possible lor tha minority to vote lor them. They were not presented with that design. Nor were thuy presented lor the purpose of eliciting any expression of principle or ot eff'Cliug anything at Washington, 'they were like the nmo who carried water on both "boulders, or like circus men who ride two bor sen at the same tiiuu. Ho would ask why put resolutions atlii ming tun Cincinnati platfotuiY wnatbud tbat lu do with legndalionr wnat bad this legislatuie to do with Mr. Buchanan's Administration T The third resoluiiou did involve a priuciplo wbiob properly claimed Ihe notice ot the legtulaiure Mr. Langdon rose to a question of order. Mr. Taylor Will Ihe Senator reduce his poiut to wriliuu? nr. Ltaiigdou having reduoi-d to writing bis objection, sir. iuylor sunt no did not moan to discuss the resolutions, but merely to give the reasons lor wishing to tw excused lrom voting. The President said thai, tho Senator miulit simply state bis reaaona for winning to ho ex cused, but could not be permuted todiscusalhc fliain queattou. He must avoid discusaiuu ol tbe main question. Mr. Taylor aaid be waa remarking, when ln- teriupud by the gentleman from Hamilton, Lhat tbe third aud fourth resolutions involved matters on which it was pro pur tbo Legislature should speak. 'Ibey touuUed upon subjects of mierest to the people ot tine btale. aui which the Legislature should sneak, instructing our public servants at Wuahingtou bow to act. But as lo the first and second resolutions, wbut priuciplo do they Involve? Wby are they beret Mr. rneips uid oot desire to ue captious, but must can lor tbe eulorcemeut ol the rule. The Chair reminded Ihe Senator from Maho ning ol bis duty in the premises, that he should coulloe himself to bin reasons tor being excused. Mr. Laugdon asked il ibu rule did not pre clude a speech. Mr. lay lor said tnil last year, as tbe Senator from Auglaize would remember, a two hours' speech was iudulged under tbe plea of lnakiug au excuse ior not votiug. Mr. Hatch said ttie rules bad been since modified.The President said lhat the rule rendered It necessary that the question sbonld be put with, out delay. Mr. lay tor explained that tbe rnle hod not been altered, and what was tbe exnerleuce in tbe Senate, Mr. Langdon Does the Chair decide tbat tne senator sball proceed: Mr. ureen read tbe rule. The Cbalr raid ibe Senator might give his reafeODB ior ueeiring to be excused, but bow far he will proceed the Chair is not aDDriaed. air. Lauguou said tiiat ibis was ao important topic and be lelt ioterei-ted that it should be decided correctly at tbe outset, if au arau- m nt eao be made on a plea oi excuse, so one oan be made against, and time be consumed, wnen tne object oi oaitiug tne previous questiou is to bring tbe question to an immediate Issue. Ha would repputiltully Biirjeal from the decision of the chair. The President said he had already decided that tha Seuutor had no riant to discuss the main questioo, but he could uot determine what tbe geutlotnan mtubt say lu the way of excuse. Mr. Langdou read the IHtb rule, wblab cuts on an argument. The I'tetudeut sum the Seu ator might stale tbe reasons why hn wished to oe excuseu. Mr. Hatch said the Senator from Mahonlnir was clearly out of order, Tho luth rule permits no debate. But two motions are allowed under it oue tu adjouru and tbe other to take a recess. Mr. McOleary aaid he wished the minority Would let the volo bo takeu. It was plainly evident tbat the majority intended lo ram the resolutions uowu tueir tnruats, as James uu ohanan intended to ram the Lecomplou Conntl- tuiiou oowu iuo iiiroats oi tne people ol Kan aaa, They iu ten dad lo enlorce the o-ta law. aud be appealed to the minority to let tbetu do it. Mr. Langdon rend tho Hth rule, that all Sen alore present sball vote, unb-aa for suecial rea sons tbey bn excuaed. The rule lu the House. he said, hail been to excuse the members before the queslion bad been put. Mr. Taylor aaid a dill 'Tent rule bad prevailed bore. Mr. WInans said, when tbe vote was taken ou S. B. No. 1, wbeu Mr. Blade's uauia was called, he was excused, although bo had nut availed Himself ol bis priviugo ol explaining bis rea sous. This oertaiuly waa a precedent iu point, and illustrated the et-UiJished practice. Mr. Thomas said lhat as ibev were iost stall ing out as it were, ha would give bis upiuion whether the Senator I row Mahoiiiug was right or wrung, lie stated tho rule. I lie Senator bad no right to get up in his pl.ice and euter-laiu the Seuate without a niutioti. Tberu bud been no motion to excune the fennlor. The , previous question was betoro Ihe Senate. It toleieleahut two motion. Whether the rule was too arbitrary or not, wits uot tor bim lu i say- Being ibe rule il moat be sustained. The only motioua (bateau In; .ml rtaiwd are ol adjourn men t and recess, and however another motion might be demnd, the tule precludes it. Tba Cbair alluded lo hi httlo legislative ex perieuoe, and related Ins deciioii. The yea aud nays being demanded ou tbe appeal lrom the decision ol the President, re suited, yeas lo, nays IH -Dr. Chmi voting wilh tbe minority, aud Mr. Kent not voting. Mr. W man said the roles ol the Seuate required lhat all Senators preaent should vote, and lhat the Senator liom Delaware hod not Voted. The Chair had uot ohserved lhat the Senator , had uot voted. No further uotlca waa taken ol the tu utter. Mr. Winans desired to state the reasons why he did uot wipb tu vote, fiechled out ol order.

Presently Ibe 8Ute officers elect, accompanied by the clot committee of the Seattle and House, oame Id. The Governor bad the arm of Chief Just-Ice Bartlkt. The oaths of office were administered to A demon F. Rushkll, Secretary of 8tate, A. P. Munb, Treasurer of State, Mabtib Wblkkk, Lieut. Governor, and to Salmon P. Cha.i, Governor of the State, by the Chief Justice. Immediately after, Governor Chase ascended be Speaker's stand, ami delivered bis admirable address, which appeared last evening ill Ihe Journal; atler which the two brancb-eH Keparaied, aud the Senators having amem bled in tbolr owu room, Governor Ford Introduced Out Gov. Wklkui, wbo delivered the addreos which will be found in another oolumo. The Mrvicee u both oocaUmi were lmrestive and eolfun. The bulla were densely crowded by oii'uibt're, Sute ofllcvrs tnd clliseus gener ally, toKether with a great mauy ladies, whose ctmi uis and beauty added to the interest of the tceue. A ftwr (ioveruor Welker bad mad bis address, Mr. held, the Democratic tieutlor from the Delaware and Lickiug district, tflered a resolution giving a vote ol thanks to Lieut, Governor Fohd fur the alile and luipartUI maooer lu which be had diK darned bis duties as presiding officer ot tin Kennle, which resolution was pa-sed by a unanimous aye. There was feeling aud heart la It. A mutiuu was then made that the ad-dremol Guvvrnor Wklkui be Insetted at leogth on Hie jur U it I of tbo tieuale, which was also carritd. The pei vices, as we said before, were solemn and iniprertflive. Every one feels regret at loo-lug the prvafiioe from our midst of Lieut Gov ernor Ford. No mau has more or warmer friends than be h u. His kind, good heart, aod honest purpose, his ability and integrity, have made a 1 anting tmpreosiou among our people here; and hit abfwnce from amoug , and his retire ment to private life, will beloog and deeply (lt.

"Ilore's to jou, Tom Ford." The Uu; in the Henat The Buchnnnn, Cincinnati Platform, Kansas resolutiooa which were reported lo the Senate on Saturday, by Mr. Phelps, the Senator from Auglaize, onma up for action this morning, and were gagged through without amendment, with out dittcusniou, ami in defiance of an express rule of the Bunate. When the resolutions were reported, they were laid upon the table and ordered to be printed; Mr. Phelps promising that when tbpy cmue up for consideration ample op portunity would no given Tor dfscuHion and amendment. This was right, and was satisfactory.This morning they came op for consfderstlun, but the promfM made on Saturday was violated. No opportunity whatever was given for diocuiwion, or lor amnndrntiot. The previous question wa moved and carried, aod the reso- lutirms were put upon their passage. When the name of Mr. Taylor, the Senator from Ma honing, wa called, he arose and aked to be excused from voting, aud proceeding Id accord unco with the r iles of the 8euale, briefly to state bis ruanons lor wiiuiug to be excused. He had not npoken more than a mlonte, when he was called to order by Mr. Langdon, a Sen ator from H naif I ton. Tbe Presldeut decided that, after the previous question had been earned, It was not in order to discuss tbe main question, but that wheo a member anked to be excupd from voting opon tbe main question, he had a right, aa expressly deolarad by the rules of the rienale, to slate his r atone for the motiou be bad mad. This decision, so just and proper, appeared to be saliafaciory, aod Mr. Tsylor was proceeding again to stale bis reasoot, when he was again called to order, and Mr. Laogdon appealed from tbe decision ol the Chair, taking as bis position that after the previous question hat been or dered, It la uot ooiupeteut for a member to give any reasons why be winked to be exoused. Tbe question was taken, and the appeal sustained; ao hefuuflir no Senator who asks to be excused from votiug on a oeitaiu measure, oan give any reasons whatever fur his request. This is wbati wo call pulling the gag on pretty strong. It Is not usual, In the first place, for a Senatorial body to have the previous question among their rules. The United States Senato ha no such rule, and very few of tbe State Senates aver apply such a rule to members wUblng to speak. lu our State Senate ll Is one of the u-exurables, aud Ota as tight ss a vb. During tbe diacueaion this forenoon, upon tbe question ot order, Mr. McOleery, the Senator irora tbe Jvffunon district, said he hoped that no Kopubiicaa would now attempt a discussion of the resolves, as it was evident that the ma jorlty laared dlsousslou, or feared that these resolutions would not bear discussion. It was highly proper that they should be forced through by the gag law. Such action was in perfiot aooordanoe with the practtoa of the National Administration, whioh they so "cordially ludorwd." That Admiuiilrallou had been for some time, aud uow is engaged In forofog down the tbruals of tbo Freemen of Kausaa the L oomplon ouoetitulloB, whioh they detest; and the Attempt here lu the Ubio Beuate, to force through these resolutions without discussion, aud by virtue of lha gag, was but ao videaoe or the fidelity ol the majority to tbe principles of that Administration. Tbe resolutions have passed the Benate, tweet and beautiful aa Ibey oame from tba Senatorial Mo-pan, "not a star obliterated nor a stripe eruwd." It would be muoh better If they bad bMJU rant directly lrom the caucus, instead ol delaylug their Journey to Washington by Intro ducing toem to tba Senate ohtmbar. Tba result would have bean tbe same, and aa they will 'wwive Id the Legislature tba anno votes tl U-ey reoeived In tba eauous, It is a mart waete of Una to bring them Into tba Legislature at 1 Mttiva Id tha Laul.l.tura Ui .'.I I Te.Ob.r "Wllll.tD.

A resolution might eaolly have been framed lu regard to Kansas affairs, which would have re oeived the united vote of the Legislature, with perhape the exoeptioo of tbe tioobananites, which would have gone abroad as ttie opioion of tbe people ol Ohio. As it now Is, the rera lutton adopted by the Senate only expresses the opinion of a caucus, aud, it the truth were known, not even that. The State Journal aud the Washington Ntttr. This very pretty pair, so excellently adapted to run In couples, are repeating each other's falsehoods, and quoting each other's unadulterated fooleries. We ate requested by Judge Rankin to say that be never otlered any resolution, In caucus, or elsewhere, complimenting Mr. Douglas, or ''pitching Into" any one. Ho resolution was ever ollered or discussed in which Mr. iouglas' oame was mentioued. StiitttiHan. Our neighbor of the Central Organ Is altogether at fault Tbe Washington 8tnr and the Ohio State Jturnal never, to our knowledge, entertained a political sentiment akin to each other. The Stur is a semi-ofiloial organ of Mr. Buchanan's administration, and its editor fa oh grown rich upon tbe drippings of the-'Democratic" treasury. It supports Buchanan; so does tbe SUtttmm. And It does it consistently; the Stati$mam does not. The Star opposes Senator Douglas, because bis policy aud Buchanan'! are diametrically opposite. The Slattt-man shuffles, rides on two horses, sits on two stools, looks one way aud rows another, aod therefore Is inconsistent aud illogical. The Star follows a straight line, boldly and fearlessly. Whatever Its faults may be, It has at least the merit of being consistent; which the Statuman has not. We, however, quote the above for the es peelal put pose of showing the eagerness of the Sutitmmn to disclaim that any resolution bad been proposed In cuuons here, that " that had Mr. Douttar name" iu it. This may be so, bat if it be so, it only shows that even as strong a Douglas man as Judge Rankin, did not dare to offer a resolution iu a Legislative caucus of bis party, in which "Mr. Dun k las' name was mentioned." Why Is lhiT What were Judge Rankin's resolutions? Were they not Intended to Indorse and sustain Judge Douglas! If so, why not meutlon bis name iu tbeni? Why is tbe 8(9tttmn so eager to disclaim, In its own and bis behalf, that the offensive nsme wax mentioned? Has it become so offensive to the democracy" of the Ohio Legislature tint it must not be mentioned! Such support as JudKt Douglas Is gettlog ben, is more than any man can stand. Tun Jail Bill. Mr. Brooke, the Hamilton eouoty member, appears anxious to press bis bill to open tbe jails of tbe State for tbe Incarceration of men, women and children accused of tbe crime of trying to be free, to a vote. Ye, terday afternoon he moved that it be apecially assigned for consideration at eleven o'clock to day. Mr. Andrews of Auglaize, whose position and experience In legislation properly points to bim as a leading miimberol the Democratic party was opposed lo tbe assignment; he did not think there were any pressing reasons existing wby the bill should be so bouored aud pushed forward as to get for it a special assignment. We regretted to hear him say, however, in the oourse of bis remarks that he luteoded lo vote for the bill. We think that the hardy yeomanry of the Northwest would much rather afford food and shelter for tbe poor and thyippreseed, tbsnjaiis. r ems pa inetr Representatives will tblnk better of this subject, and decline tbe support ot such a bill. If tbe slave interest of Cincinnati demands that tbe people of Ohio all furnish jails for tbe slave catchers, cer taiuly the free people of the rural districts do not make such a demand. We might, with as much propriety, build custom bouses and post offices for tba general government to carry out tbe federal laws, aa to build Jails for Ihe gene ral government to oarry out the inhuman pro visions of the Fugitive slave act. Mr. Brooke said that this was only ouo of a series which were to be introduced, to repeal the humane lawi of the Republican Legislature. This, then, Is the head the tail Is not yet in sight. His motion for a special assignment was very emphatically voted down. fcfA-Tbere were sixty puat masters, delegates at lbs Indiana Democratic State Ci nvention on the 6th. No wonder, says the Cincinnati Com- mtreiai, that the Administration was indorsed. T'ie Administration waa Indorsed this morning in the Ohio Senate, which bouorable body does not contain a single post master. Thi Belmont Cohntt Skat.

WEDNESDAY, - - - JANUARY 13, 1868 Tbe Senate Resolutions. The Buchanan, Cincinnati Platform resolutions which were yesterday foro-d through tbe Senate under the pressure of the gug screw, came up for action this morning In the House, There was a rumor that the same Senate tactics were to be introduced into the House, which tbe Republicans determined should not be done If they could wilh reasonable opposition defeat them. Several motion were made, and finally on motion of the member from Seueos, they were referred to a committee of one, who It was believed would report them back immediately and move tbe previous question. Mr. Wcstul Logan moved a reconsideration of tbo vole. and wan proceeding to make a speech, when be was called to order, and ruled by the Chair to be out of order. A short discussion ensued, landing whioh the House look a recess, Mr. West la a capital speaker, and was making a capital speech when be was ruled down.

He said that the gentleman from Lorain bail occupied much the peine grouud lhat he had intended to occupy, and he hod done it so well that hit would not attempt to repeat bis arguments. Nevertheless. Mr. Par added several new points, and acquitted himself very admirably. He appealed to Mr. Brooke to withdraw his bill from before (be House.

He would, hy no act of his, plane tbe people of Ohio in the altitude of voluntary slave catchers, such es this bill would nuke them. When Mr. Pardons floixhed, Mr. Brooke arose again todefeiid his "Nigger Pen bill." Noone tse on his sid t appeared anxious to defile their tlntrera wilh It. So he took the rl'ior.snd spoke lor about twenty minute. Ho made several latal admissions for I ho future w-)lare of his t.lesi-ed babj." He said distinctly that thTe was no law of Congnws, and nothing iu the con tl lotion, which required of us to build iails for the safe keeping of runaway negroes. The fugitive liW did nut demand it of us. No law ilemindt d it of us; but yet comity demanded it of us that W'i should help by voluntary tax at Ion, the slaveholders to catch their runaways. In other words, that the freemen inOhiotdiotild do voluntarily, what, in Miailssippi and tbo South, they do with their dog. Mr. Bnggx ol Fajettit, nest spoke, and made as good a little spe ch as we have heard lor many a day. Mr. Briggx Is young, with a fine open face, good flguie, and plnaaunt manners. His voice is rich and mellow, aud it has those flyiupathixiug chord which attract and sll'ect neu. Hie style of sH)aking is direct, plain and clear. He states bis prnHMilious concisely, aod argues loguully. He showed, by a few quota tions lrom legal authority, that wn were under no obligations of comity lo puss this bill: and further, thai w were under obligations ol no kind whatever lo paM such a law. He aid It would be regarded, especially wheu taken In connection with the resolution which hod Iwen gagged through the Seuale, as another degiad ing suinnixsioo to tbo deiuanda ol the slave power. For one, he would never commit hi constituents to any sueb a bill. It was not asked lor by any one, while he knew lhat the lawol thrt last Legislature waa satisfactory to ihe people whom bo had the honor to repre sent.

But olrcumstauoee oalled lor immedi ate action, and it was imperative lo loae no time.

Aod should tbe opportunity, arise involving the tame principles, before the oloe of tbe session, auioh opportnnlly would be glveu, but he now lelt houud to move tor the orevious uuestioo. He did not now wish debate, nod ealled lor fcw) yeas and nays. Mr. Cad well said: Before t e vote was tukeo be wished the Senate to Comdder this speech, (which be held in bis hand,) as made. Mr. Blade said be desirefl to reiterate tbe same thing. Mr. Taylor said he did not m ike a similar request, as he intended to make his speech. Mr. MofJleary said the minority would have tbe satisfaction, at )ot, ol publishing what they might have id tended to say, in the newspapers.Mr. Green regretted the course adopted by the majority to pre v tut free discussion. Mr. Can held did n t rise lo express feelings of indignation, or to give uotice of hie inteution to publish a speeoti on tbe subject ; but the oourse of the majority was unprecedeuled,-and it was unmanly to gag dowu tbe freedom ot speech, Mr. Buckland thought the gentleman from Auglaize bad taken his precedent lrom some highway robber, lhat he seemed to see tbe necessity for auch baste. Tbe motion for the previous question prevailed -yeas 20. uayn 14. Mr. Winaos said that as debate was now out of order, he would simply remark tbat the res olutious offered presented a difficulty. The first and second resolutions sustuioed the Cincinnati Platform and tbe Adimuistiation of James Booh auan. Tba preuuipiiou in that ev.ry ouo koows what is Ihe law, but how could it be presumed that Mr, Hatch rose to a question of order. Mr. Winaos said be was uot debating the question, but would call lor the reading ot Ihe Cincinnati Platform. Mr. Uunkle called for ibo Life of James Buchanan.Mr. McKelty said that the Senators would be furnished at their rooms with tbe documeuls asked lor. The Senate proceeded to vole. When the name ot Mr. Taylor was called, he oked to be exuused from voting, and proceeded to give his reasons. The resolutions bait boon so framed that it waa not possible lor tha minority to vote lor them. They were not presented with that design. Nor were thuy presented lor the purpose of eliciting any expression of principle or ot eff'Cliug anything at Washington, 'they were like the nmo who carried water on both "boulders, or like circus men who ride two bor sen at the same tiiuu. Ho would ask why put resolutions atlii ming tun Cincinnati platfotuiY wnatbud tbat lu do with legndalionr wnat bad this legislatuie to do with Mr. Buchanan's Administration T The third resoluiiou did involve a priuciplo wbiob properly claimed Ihe notice ot the legtulaiure Mr. Langdon rose to a question of order. Mr. Taylor Will Ihe Senator reduce his poiut to wriliuu? nr. Ltaiigdou having reduoi-d to writing bis objection, sir. iuylor sunt no did not moan to discuss the resolutions, but merely to give the reasons lor wishing to tw excused lrom voting. The President said thai, tho Senator miulit simply state bis reaaona for winning to ho ex cused, but could not be permuted todiscusalhc fliain queattou. He must avoid discusaiuu ol tbe main question. Mr. Taylor aaid be waa remarking, when ln- teriupud by the gentleman from Hamilton, Lhat tbe third aud fourth resolutions involved matters on which it was pro pur tbo Legislature should speak. 'Ibey touuUed upon subjects of mierest to the people ot tine btale. aui which the Legislature should sneak, instructing our public servants at Wuahingtou bow to act. But as lo the first and second resolutions, wbut priuciplo do they Involve? Wby are they beret Mr. rneips uid oot desire to ue captious, but must can lor tbe eulorcemeut ol the rule. The Chair reminded Ihe Senator from Maho ning ol bis duty in the premises, that he should coulloe himself to bin reasons tor being excused. Mr. Laugdon asked il ibu rule did not pre clude a speech. Mr. lay lor said tnil last year, as tbe Senator from Auglaize would remember, a two hours' speech was iudulged under tbe plea of lnakiug au excuse ior not votiug. Mr. Hatch said ttie rules bad been since modified.The President said lhat the rule rendered It necessary that the question sbonld be put with, out delay. Mr. lay tor explained that tbe rnle hod not been altered, and what was tbe exnerleuce in tbe Senate, Mr. Langdon Does the Chair decide tbat tne senator sball proceed: Mr. ureen read tbe rule. The Cbalr raid ibe Senator might give his reafeODB ior ueeiring to be excused, but bow far he will proceed the Chair is not aDDriaed. air. Lauguou said tiiat ibis was ao important topic and be lelt ioterei-ted that it should be decided correctly at tbe outset, if au arau- m nt eao be made on a plea oi excuse, so one oan be made against, and time be consumed, wnen tne object oi oaitiug tne previous questiou is to bring tbe question to an immediate Issue. Ha would repputiltully Biirjeal from the decision of the chair. The President said he had already decided that tha Seuutor had no riant to discuss the main questioo, but he could uot determine what tbe geutlotnan mtubt say lu the way of excuse. Mr. Langdou read the IHtb rule, wblab cuts on an argument. The I'tetudeut sum the Seu ator might stale tbe reasons why hn wished to oe excuseu. Mr. Hatch said the Senator from Mahonlnir was clearly out of order, Tho luth rule permits no debate. But two motions are allowed under it oue tu adjouru and tbe other to take a recess. Mr. McOleary aaid he wished the minority Would let the volo bo takeu. It was plainly evident tbat the majority intended lo ram the resolutions uowu tueir tnruats, as James uu ohanan intended to ram the Lecomplou Conntl- tuiiou oowu iuo iiiroats oi tne people ol Kan aaa, They iu ten dad lo enlorce the o-ta law. aud be appealed to the minority to let tbetu do it. Mr. Langdon rend tho Hth rule, that all Sen alore present sball vote, unb-aa for suecial rea sons tbey bn excuaed. The rule lu the House. he said, hail been to excuse the members before the queslion bad been put. Mr. Taylor aaid a dill 'Tent rule bad prevailed bore. Mr. WInans said, when tbe vote was taken ou S. B. No. 1, wbeu Mr. Blade's uauia was called, he was excused, although bo had nut availed Himself ol bis priviugo ol explaining bis rea sous. This oertaiuly waa a precedent iu point, and illustrated the et-UiJished practice. Mr. Thomas said lhat as ibev were iost stall ing out as it were, ha would give bis upiuion whether the Senator I row Mahoiiiug was right or wrung, lie stated tho rule. I lie Senator bad no right to get up in his pl.ice and euter-laiu the Seuate without a niutioti. Tberu bud been no motion to excune the fennlor. The , previous question was betoro Ihe Senate. It toleieleahut two motion. Whether the rule was too arbitrary or not, wits uot tor bim lu i say- Being ibe rule il moat be sustained. The only motioua (bateau In; .ml rtaiwd are ol adjourn men t and recess, and however another motion might be demnd, the tule precludes it. Tba Cbair alluded lo hi httlo legislative ex perieuoe, and related Ins deciioii.
