Whig Gag In Ohio

We copy the following from the Cincionati Utrald oí" Ist Janunry. {After all ihe solemn declara'.ions of the Whig party of their regard for the right óf petinon, we ere nct exaclly prepaied for the adoptiori of the gag poücy by our Whig geuerul asscmbly. On the 28 h, in the House, tbe memorwl of the Yearly meeting of Friends, held ai Richmond, Iiidiam, praying the repeal of the 8!ack Lnws of thia Stnti was presen ted by the Chair Oa motion of Mr. JNoblo, the Uuse rrfvs:d to receivc the petiiion by a vol f f 05 lo 31 ! Such an instance of gaji-P"''ty e do nut recoliect to have noticed in the Gn eral A.-eembly of ihis Si.ate. This Yfar'y Meeting is constimted, m urge part, of memhfxs frnm tlil State, and we know that all inemorials enianating From such a source, are aUvavo respectful in their tone." We coincide willi the Herald in its inirodiictory remark. Tliisgngi astrongcfmtneniary en ihe elfction profssidns mide bv the p:uty: it is nn instruciive fact to Liberty men, nnd shews hovv litile reliance is to be (liced for the carryhig out of Liberty principies on any parly but their own. W cannot but also lecollrct that in 1840 iho VV'higB rnade timilar professions, as in 1844 nnd when placed in power then, as they ore in Oiiio, 'hey falsified the$e profefEJun.-, by nppKing the gag in Congress. In etrong contrast to the whig action in Ohio, is that of the demócrata in CongreB.-: :he latter have rescinded it: the first mide nll the profession, but the latter was silent. We 'o not however give Democracy the credit of this repeal: the party has tno long proved itte'if the drilling instrument of the gng. Thcredit of its repeal is due to the Liberty par y: ís ballot b-x repealed ihe gng. The fpectacle of Cl, 000 freenien ihroxcing away their votes, to repróbate the gag and Blavery wap an inflnence no pnrty cotild wíthstand, nnd thanks to ou own firtnnesj. Congress is at !at open to onr etitions. Let us but stil! persevere, and fu!l vietory wili be ours.
