nearly twenty-five thousand votes, as com
pared with the election one year ago!
This calculation proves that $4,000 votes
are yet to be polIed; and without stopping to
ascertain or estimate in what manner any OF
them voted upon past questions, we should
merely ask how these voters are likely to
cast their votes-whether with the Wings
or the Van Buren, men and Dallas agrarians,
when the Presidential election, and the still
ers alter Convention question, call them to the
polls, in November! Who shall say there is

Our Legislative Reports having beeR
brought TO a close in the present number,
this is the last which wall be sent 10 ses
sion subscribers, except such as shall or
der continuance, or have Neglected to
make epayment.-lt will be observed, that
the most violent propositions submitted
TO the Assembly have been either substan
TALLY rejected, or deprived Of their most
Objectionable features. The bill to re
peal the charter Of the Life Insurance and
Trust Company has been postponed indei
nitely, ana the bill to legislate the State
Prnter out Of Office postponed until the
first Monday in December next; while
the bill in relation to the United States
Bank has been so amended as simply to
prohibit the establishment OF Breaches or
Agencies Of that institution within this
State-a prohibition which only evinces
spite, without inAicting any injury. since
1t 10 not probable that the establishment
Of such Bank of Agency is desired, ei
ther by the Bank itself, or by any person
or party IN Ohio. As we cannot conscl-
entiously compliment the majority for the
positive good they have effected, We shall
most cheerlulIy award TO them the
negative praise of having, with com men
dabIe independence, avoided doing muc h
of the mischief urged upon them by me n
