democrats, aristocrats, and mobocrats, and
all other creeping vermin ; ye Bank men, Clay
men and fence men, and all others in the ag-
ricultural line !; We slips of nobility who discuss
champagne and principles at Mobiles, and ye
metalics, who gather inspiration from the con-
sumption of whiskey punch and long-nines
around the famed, the classic tin pan Hear,
all, and listen We gain no information of
your dongs. Your goings forth and your
comings in, your short comings, and your ney-
er comings, are.all unknown to us. We stand,
like Christian upon the Slough OF Despond,
and no voice warns us fromthe other side of
that " ne plus ultra" Three days, three dole
fnl days, and neitherm mail nor fe-mail has pene-
trated the abysses of the Black Swamp. Shall
it ever be SO Is the light which emanates
from your enlightened body never to illuminate
the dark corners of the land! viii ye never
stoop from your lofty specuations, upon canals
over the mountains and railroads to the moon,
to attend to matter which has in it less of
glory but more of usefulness? Try it once,
and if the contemplation of matters of fact
does not produce headache, you may con-
graduate yourselves upon the approach of re-
turning sanity. Improve the Black Swamp
We humbly pray; and if you do not, we hum
bly, pray that ye, one and all, may be dragged
from Lower Sandusky to Perrysburg, feet
foremost, at the tail of comet, the only thing
that carries tail that could hope to penetrate
that fearful commixture of mud and water.
And now, our subscribers are looking to us
for the regular number Of inches of editorial
matter. Xerxes is said 10 have measured his
host by the acre. AliBaba estimated his treas
ure BY the bushel, and our subscribers are wont
to Judge of our labors by the number of COL
ulnns of " close Dig" which we perpetrate
per seven night. So it is; give, give, says
the horse leech, until the poor editor is sucked
dry, and then turned off to be laughed at. We
have wandered up and down, like a ghost by
moonlight, over the ground where the side
walks should be, and where, like dreamer,
we published that they were, several weeks
ago, in hopes to learn something wherewlthal

Any news from the Legislature? No! Any

by the aforesaid manipulation, into magnet
ic slumber inadvertently, concluded to avail
ourselves Of the accident, wled ourselves in
Columbus, and arrived safely, having been
buoyed up by having one hand on our ink bot
tie, and here we are.
We will not stop now to wonder at the i'm
mense talent collected in that enlightened
body, our State Legislature, but proceed to
take minutes of their doings, having been ia
vored with seat within the bar, through the
poteness of our representative, for which our
thanks are returned, sc. So, here goes.

Mr.. Broadhead, from the select committee
appointed for that purpose, reported Bill in
cooperating the Muddy Creek Church, with
banking privileges, making the deacons ofthe
church Directors, and the preacher President
of the Institution. Mr.. Bump moved to strike
out the clause relating to the President, as the
preacher of the Muddy Creek Church was
MIR. Leatherbody did not conceive the gen.
tleman's objection valid, as there was no good
reason why the banking privileges should not
be tinerant also Mr.. L.. cited many instan-
ces where officers of Banks had become loco
motive, as precedents in the case. n Isl
Major General O'Whacklin, took the same
view of the case as the gentleman last up.-
"Sir,o said he, Sir, am not to be outdone
by the gentleman in Democracy; monopoles
are odious, sir, and for one wish, from the
bottom of my soul, that every minister of the
Gospel was endowedwith banking privileges
The Hon. gentleman then poured a flood of
light and learning upon the subject. Hequo-
ted the Alexandrian Library Association as
instance Of the encouragement given to itera-
ture, the sister of religion, and the charterng
Of Lottery by the Legislature Of Connecti-
cut, for the purpose Of building church in
South Canaan. He said, these things are
correct and proper, and that religion and bank
ing transactions were connected in more
ways than one !" Sir" said the Hon. gentle
man, /" have but one objection to this bill.
The powers created are too fully expressed.
go for implied privileges. The Legislature
of last winter did more upon that subject than
any previous Legislative body. They gave
the first impulse to that ball which will con-
