1t matters little to the Wings ofthe I'M
ion, saws a contemporary Journal, wheth-
er the President and his friends pursue
their old trade Of making banks or their
neD one of destroying them. The admin
istraiion and lis friends have all the respon-
slbiIity. They made banks they fed them
with deposites they took from them thc
saluiary restraint of a national currency I:
they make war upon them; AID they may
destroy them. Let no Wing who takes
issue on tho reform of the country, turn
aside fIom his high duty to NEEDLE IN such
dispute. To the administration justly
belongs the glory of creating banks, and
to them should be attached the glory Of
their destruction. II is only by turning
the public eye from its own guilt, and i'm
bccility TO collateral questions, that the
administration has so long successfully
blinded the people. The honest citizen
has been diverted from the canker within
to the glttering bubbles without; as in
the times of the French revolution, tie
buffoon of the theatre diverted the atten-
ton of the populace from the sorrows Of
home and the wrongs of the people. -

so engrossed cur attention during the past
week, that we have not bestowed much
attention upon the debates in the upper

no business of general interest was done in

Mr.. Tucker, to print copies Of
the bank commissioners report, which was.
sustained BY Messrs. Tucker, Campbell
and Walton, and opposed by Messrs. Far

II is intimated that the sudden change in
the times of holding Courts in this Circuit
which will occasion vast expense to the
people-probably not much short Of one
thousand dollars to Williams county alone ;
grew out of the County Seat question Of
Lucas. We have heard it suggested, but
don't like to believe it, that Gen. Hunt In
troduced the bill out of courtesy to Judge
POTTER, who is at Columbus, combating
the proposition for the appointment ofCom-
missioners for the review.--Defance Bar.
The story is true to the letter, we believe,
brother Semans, and yet, we do not be-
lieve that blame should be attached to Gen.
Hunt, in relation to it. The Circuit Judge
was present, and was supposed to know
his own business, and the effect of his own
proposition best. He was undoubtedly
consulted as 20 the provisions Of the orig-
nal bill, and the Courts were fixed to suit
his convenience, and there was no reason
apparent on the face of the proceedings
why they should not be postponed also for
his convenience. If injury to the people
was TO result, he was the man, above all
others, to have known 1t, and he should,
and must be holden responsible for it; and
the fact that he was lobby member, would
hardly have been thought good excuse
for a refusal to make motion at the request
of a constituent.

THE APPoRTIoNMENT BILL.--It is but
too well known to the people of Ohio, that
the business Of opportioning the Senatorial
and Representative districts of the State,
has been for Years openly used by the Lo-
cofocos as the means Of perpetuating their
power. This has been especially the case
this year. In this part of the State the bu-
slness of cutting and carving has been car
ried on to q most ridiculous extent. We
elect one Senator and two Representatives
in a district composed of Lucas, Henry.
Williams, Paulding, Putnam, Van Vert,
Allen and Hardin. Look at this on the
map, and nothing more is necessary to
show the object to have heen to secure n
Locofoco majority in the next Legislature,
at all hazards. That such majority is Sc
cured in this district, we very much doubt,
and so do intelligent members of the Loco
foco party. AT the Governors election in

A Row AT Loco Foco MEErrNe.--The
Loco Focos met in their Wards last night,
to appoint delegates to the nominating con-.
vention. Some of the meetings went off
peaceably enough, and at others there was
great confusion. In the Sixth Wards there
were two parties, one wanted TO put Ex-
Alderman Brady in the chair, and the other
somebody else. After sometime Brady sue
ceeded upon the platform, when scufife
commenced, in the course of which he was
struck by some one in the crowd, and ap-
parently considerably injured. His face and
clothes were covered with blood. Soon
after the platform gave way, and tumbled
althose on it upon the floor, Here the light
was blown out, and the meeting broke up
in the great confusion and upronr. We
have not heard that any one except Justice
Brady was mJured.--N. Y. Express.

The Legislature of Indiana has passed a
kind of "Relief Law" the effect of which
seems to be, to prevent the collection sof
debts during the year 1840. On all ijudg-
ments, DEGREES or orders, to be rendered Ia

inst, stay Of twelve months shall be al
lowed.--On all judgments, sc. heretofore
rendered in said Courts, and which have
not been fully paid. though stay ofiexea
cution may have been had under the former
law, there shall be an additional stay of
six months |! On alljudgments before JUS
tees Of the Peace, no matter how small
the amount, a stayof eight months is allow
ed. Wouldn't il be much better, and a

no expectations of retaining the County
Seat at that place, except by resisting the

they may for whatever may be done in
relation to the matter, one thing is certain,
that Toledo will be out of the question.

Sow GARDENS EAnLY.-I SOW my beets,
carrots, and other garden sauce early; and
find the benefit in having plenty of these
earlier than those who SOW late. My rea-
sons for sowing early are, that the seed is
more sure to come up well when the ground
is moist early than when it Is dry late, and
the garden-fea IS not as likely to take the
early as the later plant. IF the seed fails,
or the insects destroy the young plant, there
may be time for second sowing, perhaps
as soon as those who SOW late, from fear
Of the seed rotting in the ground. -l
