"Dut," said Mr. Dickinson with ener.
gy, elf my competitor has so much genu-
inc holy horror as he processes against
this Ohio Law, where was all that horror
when he was in the late Legislature of
this State, that it did not prompt him to
move the striking from our statute books
the vagrant law, now in force, which SO
deeply disgraces them. That law is len
times as bad as the Ohio law, against
which he so loudly complains. Where
was his holy horror then, when he had
the opportunity to display his patriotism
and humanity, without being distiusted2
And further, if he deems it so henoius Il

Ohio law, how came he to support Mi

A REVOLUTION EFFECTED.
lu adverting to the passage of the Exc
cutive Bank Charter the Globe says:
g TINS great measure makes ,'ecolu-

by Alexander Hamilton, and restores it
as established by the Constitution.

Sub-treasury as Revolutionary and dis
neutrality-suspicious. of the entire
practice of this Government from 1889
