persons broke into this Office last night,
sometime after 9 o'clock. They forced
both doors. What was their object we do
not know, unless it was plunder. If the

appointed-they went to "the goats house
to seek for WOOL" when they thought to get
money in printing Office. Perhaps they

OHIO LEGISLATURE.
From the Columbus Ohio Statesman Of Fs

From the Columbus Ohio Statesman of Feb
ruary 9Th.
Yesterday Mr. Faran's bill to prevent the is
sue and circulation OF unauthorized bank paper,
passed The Senate by strict party yote. The
federal members opposed i, at every stage, as
they DO all measures calculated to prevent the
encroachmens of corporations upon the rights
of the people. Some of them pretended to de-
precate the issuing Of post notes by Banks, but
they were very careful TO vote against the provi-
sion that compels the redemption OF those notes
on presentation. In the early part of the ses-
sion, Ex-Governor Vance condemned Post note
issues, and stated that he fully concurred with
the Bank Commissioners intheir remarks cons
demnatory Of such issues; but when brought to
the test. he would not vote for the bill which
was TO drive them out of existence. This is
whiggery.
The following is the vote upon the final pas
sage of the bill.
