rha I.enislatu q of Ohio in all prohab,litu.

The Legislatu of Ohio in all probability,
will adjourn in the course Of few days with
out doing anything for the relief ofthe people,
They have been in session three whole months
and what have they accomplished Nothing
mplaically nothing. True they have pas
sed few private or local bills. But what act
OF general natu g, having the effect to re-
store public coIfdence--to revive business
to promote the general good and prosperity of
the people, and to advance the great inter-
ests Of the State, has been passed BY the pre-
sent Legislature? Instead of ACCOMPLISHING
any good, they have been inflicting positive
evil upon tbe community. The whole course
oflegisation, this winter by the dominant par
ty has been most withe,ing in its effects upon
the business of the State. This unmeanng
ceremony of catechising the banks; and, for
political effect. this attempt at reform to save
appearances, has had the effect only to impair
public confidence and destroy individual as
well as public credit. The reform which the
people expected, and which they have petition
ed for is the passage Of General Banking
LatO; and with nothing short of this will they
be satisfied. Ifthis Legislature will do moth
ing for the public good, the people will have
one next winter that will. They are becoming
heartily sick of mere party legislation. They
desire reform, and will, whenever the opportu-
nifty presents itself, expel the party hacks who
seem to be governed by no line of action ex-
cept such as is dictated by those high in pow
er at Washington.--Clev. Int.

The following was received too late for pub

The following was received too late for pub
ication IN our last.
Mr.. EDIToR:--In these hard times, when
we are frequently called upon, by the Distress
ed, for assistance, it is not wonderful, that we
should be little careful, lest our charity be
bestowed upon the undeserving. 1t is not
always easy to discriminate between the Idle
vagrant, who calculates to impose upon COM
munity, and the unfortunate.
The rule, "that nine guilty had better es-
cape punishment, then one innocent suffer-" Is,
to say the least, as applicable TO claimants OF
charity, as to culprits of law.
| A melancholy instance of a departure from
this rule recently occurred in this vicinity.
You may recollect, that Saturday the Cd of
March was very inclement day. On that
day, poor wayfaring man arrived at Perrys-
burg, from the east, in very weak, and dis
tressed condition, and according to his state
ment, applied to the overseers of the poor for
assistance. Relief was denied him and he
stated, that he was even threatened with the
horse whip.
With much difficulty and pain, he proceeded
to the ferry, and with the assistance OF the fer
ryman and another person, was conveyed to
the Central House in this city. There he re-
ceived medical and other necessary assistance,
told his grief, and on Monday morning at 9
o'clock expired.
By careful examination of his body it was
ascertained, that his death was occasoned by
inflammation of the lungs, and this disease was
complicated with chrome affection ofthe liv-
er and spleen.
In his care, probably no care and attention,
at the Time of his application for assistance at
Perrysburg, could have saved his life or contin.
ued it for more than few days. His closing
ecene might have been more tranquil, and in
stead of complaints of inhumanity, which evel
and anon escaped his lips, the breathngs oi
gratitude might have saluted the ears of his
attendants. | doubt not, also, that the con.
science of the overseer of the poor at Perrys'
burg, would have been quite as much at ease
as il can be under the present circumstances.
The name of the deceased was Morey. He
was last from Akron, and has children residing
in Rochester N. Y. his age was not far from
forty. HUMANITAS.

as any of her citizens. Thus much for the
debate in the Senate, which was listened to
with great feeling and earnestness, and which
ended in an order to print 5000 extra copies,
made on motion Of Mr.. Tallmadge.
In the House, J. @. Adams defended Maine,
and the Presidents message. If he had any
fault to find with it, ii was that it was too con-
ciliatory. Great Britain, he seemed to think,
was herself becoming a tresrasser. He how
ever blamed the President for his disposition
to leave the point in controversy to Maine and
New Brunswick The two Governors were
not in good temper, and the subject, therefore,
should not be left with them,-if for no 9TH
er reason because it was unconstitutional.
Mr.. Gushing, of Mass. believe, and MIR.
Lincoln, of Mass. both were for Maine. SO
also, DR.. Thompson, of s. G. and Mr.. Pearce
of Nd, both of whom were for burying the po-
itical hatchet in this matter, and for uniting
all parties in defence of Name.
Mr.. Sergeant, of Penn. and Mr.. Pickens,
offs, G.. spoke in the spirit of the motto
peaceably five can, forcibly five must.''
Mr.. Evans made strong speech in defence
of Maine, stating facts,-defning bounda-
ries and commenting upon the messages, 9'c.
The President, he said, had again appealed to
the forbearance of Name. "Maine," said he
"forbears no longer"
Mr.. Thompson Of s. G., submitted a prop
osltion to print 10000 extra copies, but with
drew his motion until after the Committee on
Foreign Affairs make their report. This COM
mittee during the day obtained leave to absent
themselves from an attendance upon the bu-
sness of the House, and this evening the
committe were in consultation to late hour
This is all the information | can send you
upon this matter, except the fact that spe-
cial messenger from England arrived to night
and Immediately had an interview with the
Secretary ofState. Whether upon this mat
ter or not, know not.
Mr.. Harlan, the Select Committee, made
two attempts to night to make hisreport from
the Investigating Committee. Mr.. Cambrell-
eng opposed, and the motion was lost by par
ty vote,-two, thirds being necessary.
At the hour of adjournment, after the Appro
priation Bill, for some days past under consi
deration, had heen brought from the Commit
tee to the House of Representatives, it was
understood that both reports should be re-
ceived early tomorrow morning,-the one
from the minority and the other from the ma
jorily. The majority report will make vol
ume as bulky as quarto lexicon.
