Ohio Legislature-W have already noticed
that the State Banks projects have all received
the go-by, in the Legislature. That which 1t Is
understood the central club about Columbus
preferred and tried to have passed, is described
by our Representative, Mr.. Burgoyne, in a
short speech, which we give below. The debate
was on a motion to postpone the bill to the first
Monday of December next Cincin. Gaz.
rise to reply more particularly to the gentle
man from Ross, than any thing else. he has
doubted my being instructed by my constitu-
ents. and if was, l was not instructed by a
proper class of the community. Now, Sir, do
not. at this time, think it worth while to argue
with the gentleman from Ross, whether my con-
stituents are the right kind of people to instruct
or not. will leave that for the House to deter
mine; but, Sir, again state to this House, that
the people have the honor in part to represent

so am |: but, Sir, they are not in favor of the
project now before the House-they have in

the State, as the gentleman proves by his own
showing.
Now, gentlemen, l ask you candidly if you
are prepared to be whipped into the traces in
this way? The gentleman has charged the OPP
ponents of the present State Bank with being
chained to the car of the Bank of the United
States--and now gentlemen look at the car he
is about to chain the people Of Ohio to-erect-

Bank-and perfect political machine.
There will be one thing gained by the estab-
lshment of this Bank, Mr.. Speaker, and it is
this: it will do away with the necessity of county
conventions. and State central committees; for
then YOU will only have to get the President OF
the Mother Bank to issue his proclamation, and
he will move the Wire workers, and the deed IS
done. Now, Sir, wish the gentleman from
Ross to carry from this Hall the laurels he has
won, on this occasion, and answer to his con-

will do the same.

compelling the City Banks who held this sum,
TO curtail their accommodations to Merchants
and Tradesmen and Mechanically Y. Cour.

they were discovered they obtained access to
the ladies' dressing room, but were almost I'M
mediately elected. Fortunately for Them they
left the place before the fact became generally
known that they had gained admittance, al
though it is to be regretted that they had not
been apprehended and conveyed to the watch
house. for the benefit of the example which their
exhibition would have afforded to those who

the correctness of an article going the rounds
