SENATOR FROM OHIO.

Ii is well known that the Tories in Ohio
have resolved TO defeat, il possible, the re-
election Of Thomas Ewing to tho u. S.
Senate. The subjoined proceedings Of the
Legislature on the subject will be read with
interest. Bost Atlas.
A resolution was passed by the Senate
by party vote, proposing to the House Of
Representatives to meet on the 10Th inst.
and chopse the Senator by joint ballot OF
both houses. On the receipt nf the resp
luton by the House, Mr.. Kelly moved 10
amend il as follows
Resolved-by the Senate and House Of
Representatives, That the members be-
Ion ing 10 the party, sell-siyled democrat
lc party, otherwise known as the Van Bu-
rem party, shall meet in secret conclave at
the place usually known as the Tin-pan or
such other secret place as hey may agree
upon, on Friday night next, between the
hours oi seven and eleven in the evening,
nd them and there, in accordance with the
"usages OF said party" designate, deter
| mine on, and DECREE, who shall he the
Senator in the Congress OF the United
Safes, 10 supply the place Of the Honora-
BILE Thomas Ewing, whose term Of service
will expire on the 9TH OF March next and
that all the members OF said party, accord
| ing 10 the usages thereby he bound by

require that said decree shall be registered
! in Joint meeting Of the members of both
| houses Of the General Assembly; and as

| two thirds OF the members Of each branch
shall be present 10 constitute quorum /;

does not include, within IFS folds, TWO
THIRDS OF ire members in either branch {;
| Therefore,
Resolved, That the wing members of this
General Assembly be required TO he present

the sole and only purpose Of constituting
the necessary quorum. in order to register
and give legal and binding effect to the
said decree Of the most august conclave of
the Tin-pan."
A long, irregular, AMI somewhat exciting
debate cnsued, 10 which but little mercy
was shown to the practice OF Tin-panning,
and which was not concluded until some

dency OF The caucus system, when brought

ture and Messrs. Patterson, Humphreys,
Walton, and Hubbard, who laboled 10 de-
lend it, and 10 show the necessity of pro-
ceeding 10 the choice Of Senator without
delay. Ia the course of the discussion, q
motion was made 10 amend the resolution,
so as Ia postpone the election until the l7lh
