MANUFACTURES OF OHIO.

A few days ago an intelligent English gentle.
man, travelling through this state, being DESTROYS
of purchasing coat OF domestic fabric, which
might be exhibited to his countrymsn as speci-
men OF our manufacture oil wool. was recommended
TO procure Steubenville clo,h-That, said he, will
not answer the purpose it will not pass as Ameri-
can manufacture in England. He had examined
this cloth, and could not believe that II was manu-
featured in our country indeed he intlmated his
suspicion that the Steubenyille manufacturers were
practising deception by endeavouring to pass OFT
British cloth as their own. He seemed to think IL
likely that an assortment of fine b itIsh cloths
regularly kept on hand at the Factory, and there
disposed of as American manufacture. 1 he reader
will smile at the simplicity OF the preIudiced
Engishman, who thus with tut intending to do So,
paid the highest compliment to the Steubenyillc
establishment We mean not the slightest disres-
pcct the stranger, for he appeared to- be an intel
ligent and accomplished gentleman. But the
snecdoe leads to reflections on the enlightened
policy of our sister Ohio which ought to put to
shame the miserable politicians VINO rule this state.
it is hardly credible that an industrious high minded
people. in easy circumstances inhabiting the finest
and richest tract Of country the globe, should be
induced to believe that their situation was so
desperate to rendert necessary to stop the wheels
of government and to disregard the fundamental
principles of our social compact. Yet such is the
fact, and the consequeA ces have been most fatal.
While we have been engaged in making paper
money and enacting stay laws to relieve debtors,
Ohio has cherished the industry Of her citizens, put
down host of swindling banks, banished spuri-
GUS medium and restored the good old currency:
She has fostered her manufacturing establishments,
which already excite the envy and astonishment
of Englishmen; and she has commenced system
OF internal Improvements, which will deveope he
immense resources and place her in the first
rank of slates.-Lerington Reporter.

the Judiciary also have declared against the
Governor. Sometime since he issued nit

son where they were detained II days. They
brought actions for false imprisonment against
the Jalor, who offered in evidence as plea of
Justification the warrant Of the Governor, it
was rejected by the court, inasmuch az his
