Fremont Weekly Freeman

The Journal was very careful last night to state that the adjournment resolution was introduced by General Loudon, of Brown, but took equal care not to state, that every Whig except two, (we published the vote last night) voted for the resolution. This was evidently done through a caucus of the whigs. Heretofore that party and their organ professed to be opposed to an adjournment, but signs in the political horizon aroused the Whigs to the effort to get rid of the Convention as soon and as long as possible. While they had hopes of controlling it, they wished it to go on, but when signs of defeat began to stare them in the face, they took another track, and threw their votes for adjournment!

The Journal also says:-

'It has seemed to us that much time has been uselessly spent. The Convention has found itself in the commencement of the tenth week of its session. with nothing definitely settled, and with but a part of the reports considered in the committee of the whole.

"And why has nothing been done?-simply because the Democrats did not take hold of the Convention at first as they should have done. They were the friends of Convention, of radical reforms--they carried the measure they were entrusted by the people because—they were the friends of a new constitution.- They should have carried out the design—but no, Whiggery the steady enemy of the measure must be conciliated-comprised. This concealed enemy knew it had gained a point, and for "ten weeks" made use of its clandestine power to over-reach the Democrats and either make a constitution that no radical Democrat would or could vote for, or as far as was in their power disgrace the Convention and fritter away its time. May God in his mercy, defeat their designs and bring good, yet, out of evil." [Statesman.

Why is it that the Statesman feels so uneasy about an adjournment? Why has it from the first, endeavored to throw the odium of this act from the decided majority. and fasten it upon the minority? Is there such a load of odium about it that the Statesman is alarmed? Is it about to sink the majority in the estimation of the people of Ohio? Is it a matter that the people have any interest in, that a convention should assemble here, with twenty Democratic majority, and, after a session of nearly ten weeks, adjourn till next December, without doing anything? Is this a matter to be dreaded by the majority, that they should make such rapid haste to throw it off upon the Whigs?

We have said nothing about this, and probably should not, if it had not been thus forced upon us. We shall not rest under any imputation, that either the length of the session or the adjournment is a responsibility for the Whigs to meet. We know nothing of any caucus, and we don't believe any was ever had. The Whigs know where the responsibility rests, and they have no need of caucus machinery. The idea of the whigs getting rid of the Convention. is rich!

The excuse for not doing business is very flattering to the majority, very! "Democrats did not take hold of the Convention at first as they should have done." Then, the Democrats are, after all, the ones that are to blame. A few days ago the blame was upon the Whigs, for opposing the radical measures of the Democracy. Now, it is upon the Democrats, because they don't take hold right!

It is of but little consequence to us, or the Whig party, which of these yarns the Statesman finally settles down upon as the truth.— The people of the State know very well, that the party having the majority, and a decided majority, must "face the music," and shoulder the responsibility of the acts done by the Convention. The people will inquire why so much time was spent in debate. They will inquire why it was necessary for Robertson and Mitchell, and Clark and Kirkwood, and Archbold and others, to spend whole days in quarreling and arguing about what is and what is not Democracy. Col. Sawyer very properly put all the responsibility of all this delay, where it belonged-on the Democrats. There it will rest. The people will be able to see how very anxious some people are that they may have a new constitution to vote upon this fall.

We will venture the assertion that Medary, and many others of the same kidney, are glad that the Convention has adjourned. They found they could not carry their radical measures, and they were determined that the business should stop till they could bring some influence to bear to bring the refractory members into the support of radical measures.- What other reason has the Statesman to urge? What does the editor mean by bringing good out of evil? The people will look into this business, and make up their judgement between now and the second Tuesday of October. We wait with confidence that judgement. [O. S. Journal.
