that when ne bill referred to first passed
he Senate, Messrs. EwINe and MORRIS
bofh recorded their names IN its favor
When il came up again, however, as a.
,nended il lhe House, the latter made a
sneech and voted against it, on the ground,
a. he stated. that the clause which made II
obligatory On the States to repay the Depos-
i on the demand Of the Government, was
highly Objectionable, and likely to lead %
serio1s abuses. Ii will also be recolleeted,
that The amendment was concurred IN al
most unanimously.-ln the House, on the
oneslion of engrossment, which was con.
sidered The test, the Ohio members voted
as follows;-From the Bill; Messrs. BOND,
CHANrY. CoRwIN, CANE, HOWELL, JONES,
KI1eoRr. MASON, PATTERSON, SPANeLE,
SToRER. Thomson, YINToN, WEBSTER, ana
WurrrLEsFY; l5--Against ii; Messrs.
HAMER, and MCLENE; absent; Messrs'
KrNNoN and SLOANE; ?. On the passage,
the same vote was giyeh,with this exception
that HAMER alone stood among the nays
Mr. M'LENE being absent.-lt has been
estimated that, if the sum to be distributed,
Shall amount to S20,00O,00O, the proper
t;on Of This State will be 81 $4,000. We
should be pleased if Messrs. MoRRIs, HA-
MFR. and McLENE, would let their constltu-
en,s know the reason why the money may
not be as safely and as advantageously en-
ployed by the people of Ohio, as by the
New York Spectators, or those engaged ID
purchasing votes for the benefit OF tim
''party."
Ofthe 43 members who voted IN the ne
ga,iye, all by two are understood to be Mr.
Van BuRrN's loyal subjects. This CIR
cumstance, taken in connection with the
fact. that his most confidential friends,
zealously opposed the bill in all It's stages,
affords strong presumptive evidence, thaI
the office.hoIdors did not wish the money
70 be returned to the people. They doubt
less wanted it for electioneering and spocu-
latipg purposes; and MIR WRIGHT, the Vice
Presidents organ in the Senate, actually
delivered an elaborate speech, IN when
he attempted to prove, not only that there
would be no surplus to distribute, but also
that if all the appropriations required Tor lhe inc
public service should be granted, the
Treasury would fall short for the country
that there was still independence enough
n Congress to treat this party soPhlstry
with contempt; and that the President was
induced, evidently much against his lncllna- III,
ton. 10 give his sanction to the bill. rms

The following analysis by States, OF the
votes given on tho question OF engrossment;;
forwhich we are indebted to the National
Intelligencer, will show that majority ol
all the States supported the bill, with the cX'
ccntion of New Hampshire, which went
AGAINST it in a solid column; and New
York, Maine and Mississippi, which were
equally divided. Were we to draw an
anoury from this circumstance, it would be
that the Vice-President will obtain the
entire Of vote of ISAAC HILL's State, and
ahont one half of New York, Maine and
Mississippi; which we deem quite probable,
md that tbe remainder of the Union will
give decided majorities against the office
holders: VIC hope may prove 10 DC lhe
