The Daily Dispatch: January 10, 1861., [Electronic resource], Letter from Hon. John M. Botts. (search)
7. --The Legislature met at Columbus to-day. Governor Dennison's message is a long document, and is occupied mainly with State affairs. He recommends a more effective organization of the militia, the present organized militia numbering only about 1,200 men, while the unorganized force is estimated at 285,000 men. No special prominence is given to this subject. The Governor argues at some length in defence of his course in refusing the requisitions of the Governors of Kentucky and Tennessee for persons accused of aiding in the escape of fugitive slaves. He discusses the secession question, denying the right of any State to secede at pleasure, and affirming that Ohio remains loyal to the Union and the Constitution. He suggests the repeal of the obnoxious features of the Fugitive Slave law, and the repeal of any Personal Liberty bills subversive of the Fugitive law would thus be secured; at the same time the Southern States should repeal their laws in contravention of the
The Daily Dispatch: January 10, 1861., [Electronic resource], Chronology of the day--battle of New Orleans. (search)
Chronology of the day--battle of New Orleans. January 8, 1777, the British evacuated Elizabethtown, N. J. Gen. Maxwell fell on their rear, and took seventy prisoners and a schooner loaded with baggage. On January 8, 1815, Sunday, occurred the great "battle of New Orleans." The Americans —— principally militia and volunteers, from Louisiana, Kentucky and Tennessee--under Major Gen. Andrew Jackson, five miles below the city of New Orleans, defeated the flower of the veteran troops of Great Britain, with dreadful and most incredible slaughter. The British troops, numbering 14,450 men, were commanded by Major Gen. Field Marshal Packenham, who was killed. The British naval force was under Vice-Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane. The Americans, on the other hand, were commanded by four Generals, three of whom were Generals of militia, who, like their men, were agriculturists or planters, and had left their homes, like their men, from patriotic motives, on the spur of

resolutions were adopted — ayes 124, nays 55. The Republicans voted aye, in a body. The Northern Democrats divided — for, while Messrs. Cochrane, Sickles, and MacClay, of New York city, went with the Republicans, Messrs. Florence, of Pa., Vallandigham, of Ohio, and Scott, of California, voted with the South. Some of these gentlemen, voting nay, explained that if the resolution had been confined, simply, to a commendation of Major Anderson, they would have supported it — but believing its effect in the present excited state of the country would do more harm than good, they must vote against it. On the other hand, some members from the South would have given it their support, but from the fact that the Republicans had all along refused the olive branch, though repeatedly offered on their side. Others opposed it on the ground that it meant mischief and civil war. The Southern members voting aye, were Adams and Anderson of Ky., Clemens and Jenkins of Va., and Etheridge of Tennessee
