OHIO LEGISLATURE.

OHIO LEGISLATURE.
Mr.. Humphreys B,nk Bin was read
through in The Senate TO day. It-will be
found a, length in our paper this eve-
ming. Ii sproper to say, that many Of
the provisions of this bill are popular
with those in favor Of proper restrictions,
and with submitting the subject 10 the
people, the true judges, the sovereign
power Of the land. Read it and Judge
between them. We have not YET read
Mr.. Green's bill.
Nye's burlesque bank bill upon legisIa-
ton for free and independent people
was forced through about midnight, last
night, by the PREVIOUS QUESTION.
All this was most appropriate, Such a
bin as his required the GAG, and that in
the DARK HOURS of TIE NIGHT,
when The whole Safe was wrapped in
sleep! Yes, all this was appropriate
the demon god Of vice and oppression is
abroad at such hours, and it was afiuing
moment for the tyranny of this federal
ba * ridden House, 10 commit its deeds
Of oppression and subvort The liberties Of
The people. O5-.Nr. Nye left The House
just before the vote was laken-hc ran
away-and father N trSh voted with the
drmocras against tic bill! Thus the
Two parents Of The bill deserted il at The
dccOucimeHt. The federal members of
The lluuse who we're dnped into The sup
port Of this monslrnus bill we're left alone
in their midpig It glory. How will they
answer to lh If constituents? Mr.. B irt.
ley spoke during yesterday at great
lengt againsl the biIl--he was eloquent
and argumentalivo beyond any former
precedent, and so deep was the effect on
he audience, that Mr.. Perkins spoke
four or five hours in reply, in very lame
attempt at argument according to our no
tions, and must have been SO to those
friendly 10 the bill
After Mr.. Perkins was through, and
a short rejpinder by Mr.. Barley, Mr..
Cook called the precious queStion-and
then came the disgraceIul tyranny Of the
Speaker, who is positively disgrace to
the Chair. His tyranny grows out of his
weakness and inability to preside. How
a nun who hos seen Il Legislative body
can know so lille of The PArlament ry

M Morris was giving his reasons against
the call ofthe previous questionable was
giving facts and figures which they could
not and, for ia them they saw their
death warrant, (seo reports,) he was
called to Ordtr,.-an appeal was taken,
aud the Speaker decided That he could
not speak in bis own defence! II was
also decided that he could not speak in
order. after having once been pronounced
out Of order. Such a perverslon Of rules
such irnbecile assumption of power,
are an outrage upon the constitution, and
must be brought properly befure the pub.

II is thus the Bank power wonld rule with
rod Of iron, and trample on every prn.

Of monopoly aud ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
But still the Speaker did not stop there.
After the previous question had been
sustained by party trammels, Mr.. Wood
demanded II call Of the House before the
final vote was taken, as several mem.
bers were absent. This was declared
out of order alsp by the Speaker! Sup
pnse there hadnot been quorum in The
House! will the Speaker inform ihe pub
lie how he would have got along? We
really feel lhumbled at the thought If such

lature.
