Democratic standard. [volume] (Georgetown, Brown County, Ohio) 1837-1850, 1841-04-06

every democrat would have voted Tor II.
In the Senate it was otherwse-Gen.
Green, whig, offered the resolution Of
thanks, &c, and every member, of both ,
parties, voted for it, when Gen. McLaugh-
lin resumed the chair and in most ap- |
prOpriats and feeling manner returned
thanks 10 his fellow members for their
respect and kindness. Gen. McLanghlin |
is most prompt efficient and able Speak |
er, and aids greatly in facilitating busi-
ness, and has left with the good feelings
of the whole Senate andt respect Of his
numerous acquaintances with whom he
has had intercourse.
One word here as to the democratic |
members OF both Houses. We have been
present at the breaking up Of numerous
sessions, but we have never witnessed |
our democratic friends part in more uni |
versal harmony than on this mOrDing.-
Knit together by the strong ties of prin-
cipIe, and an indOmitable love Of freedom,
they fought arm TO arm, the monstrouS
schemes of the mOnopolists, whose whole
aim seems 10 be 10 corrupt The fountains
of liberty, and destroy our admirable con.
stitution and safeguards 10 the individual
citizen-they felt a reliance on one an
other, which grew stronger as those
great principles were more bitterly as
sailed.
We are no adept at eulogy, but permit
US to say, that if ever men deserved not
the thanks alone, bnt the warm and close
attachment of their constituents, if not
their open pIaudits, those men are the
democratic members of the General AS
sembly Just adjourned. The little spartan
band of the House, with spirits that would
do honor to Jackson himself, often
brought tho overwhelming majority of
''the coons" as they were often called, 10
a stand still-a dead pause at their own
extraordinary measures, while the Senate
checked finally and fully, their mad career
ready and willing TO take the responsible
ily in doing right. And it was laughable
often 10 hear even wings remark, when the
House was about TO pass iniquitous meas
ures. "that the Senate would correct it!
Yes! even wings threw their hopes upon
the Senate to prevent wrong from being
done. And the Senate performed their
duty as became them, and are ready
to submit their acts to the people for their
rejection or approval.
The great measures Of Wing economy
have been most unequalled burlesque;
. and one act performed, and the only one
we fear may be, any thing else than re.
J form, We mean the reduction of the
pay, Eof the members, engineers, &c.
on the public works. This bill was ev'
identity passed by the House for political
, capital on the stump, suppOsing that the
Senate wonld reject it, but it was agreed
/ TO with amendments by committee o.
conference, and became law. 1t wat
diverting after it passed to see the wings

sideration of the vote. No, no, it was
only JOKE, for political capital, and wheI
the senate in good earnest passed it, theI
