Ohio legislature.

Nothing Of much Importance has as
yet been done in the Ohio Legislature.
The great subject Of "Bank Reform
was broached at an early day IN both
branches. The first movement seems
to be the revival Of the Board Of Bank
Commissioners. In the Senate, Eber
w. Hubbard, Bella Latham, and William
Conklin have been reported by the
committee on the Currency, as suitable
persons TO constitute that Board. The
old and futile system Of putting interro
gatories to the officers Of the Banks has
been determined on in the House, and a
resolution embodyiDg some dozen or
more questions 10 be put TO the banks
by Auditor Brough, has been adopted BY
close vote. The most striking indi-
cation OF what the Bank Reform" oil
this session is to be-, may be found in
the following resolution offered by Mr..
lie Grand ByiUgton, of the House:
Re5OlUed, That the standing commit.
tee on Banks and the Currency be in
slrucled to enquire into the exPsdiency
Of reporting to this House, at as early a
period as practicable during The present
session, bill to provide for the perma-
nent resumption Of specie payment by
the Banks Of this State: to include as
near as may be, the following provi-
! Sions-
lst. That each and every bank in
this State shall resume the payment,
when presented, Of their notes and bills,
IN gold or silver, on or before tho -

THE FIRST WEEK OF THE SES

To-day begins the second week o
tho session of Congress; and seldom has
the first week Of any Session been lesl
diversified by remarkable incident.
The attendance Of members in each
House at the opening Of the Session
was quite as full as could be expected
They met apparently in good feeling,
which nothing has occurred TO disturb.
and which the beautiful, temperate, and
almost sprng.Iike weather has assisted
to cherish and sustain.
The Annual Message Of thoPresident,
delivered on the second day of the
week, disappointed the Wings, We ra
Their think, quite as much as their oppo
nenls, though in different way. The
Wings found it free from some OK
ceptions which they had anticipated
whilst their antagonists were taken all
aback upon discovering it TO lean apps.
rently towards Wing instead of Loco
foco principles. The great head of the
latter party in tho Senate led off against
it at once; and the assault has been FOL
lowed up in tho official paper Of the
same party with an eaFnes'ness which
shows deiboration Of purpose. What
the Wings in Congress have to say OF
it, no dObate has yet taken place to dis
close. They do not mean, probably. to
express any very hnsty opinion on this
subject
The documents accompanying tho
Message are voluminoIs, (thoUgh moi
more so than usuAI,) and are not yo,
out of press so as to be submitted to OK.
animation by the members; which cir
cumstance, and the absence Of num-
ber Of members not yet arrived. has
prevented either House from making
further progress in business than, in the
House Of Representatives, giving outho
rity to the Speaker to appoint the
standing committees, and some selec
committees on matters of special inter
est, viz, on the plan Of finance recon
mended in tho Presidents Message; on
tho Apportionment Of Representatives tC
Congress; on tho Smithsonian legacy
and on the establishment of A Natona
Foundry for ordnance.
The proposition and vote upon the
, first Of these committees ia the only in,
dicOtion Of the disposition Of the me M
bors Of tho House Of Representative
touching tho fnOncia! recommendation
which forms tho mos, conspicuous fea-
ture Of the Presidents Message. Tht
House has determined, by majority o
thirty votes, that this question shall no
90 to the standing committee 90 finance
(he Ways aud Means } but to a secc
committee. Tho reason Of this deci-
sion is supposed to be disposition OF
the part o! the House to place this Ques
ton in the hands of 4 committee so con
stluied as TO be reasonably supposed
friendly TO the Presidents rccommen
dation, rather than in the hands Of
committee composed, as the Commite,
Of Ways and Means, to be appointed b.

DOINGS AT WASHINGTON.


From our latest Washington papers
it appears that Congress is progressing
slowly.
The Fiscal Agency part of the Presi.
dents Message finds much opposition on
all sides, excepting with those who are
on the lookout for the "loaves and fish
es."
The Washington correspondent orthe
United States Gazette, under date Of 9th
December, has the following:
70 S. Jour.
yesterday was principally occupied
by Congress with the Presidents Mes
sage.
In the SenGte, to-day, Immediately
after it it was read, on the motion to
PRINT the usual number, Mr.. Benton,
although not opposed to the printing,
yet took the occasion to make violent
and pungent attack on the fiscal agency
part oft. He said it was a disguised
manner Of saddIing this country with
an enormous public debt, after the man
ner Of Sir Robert WalpoIe in Queen
Anne's time, whom, he says, started a
similar scheme, by which the deb, of
Great Britain was imperceptibIy increa
sed from twenty millions to nine hund
red millions, without the peoples know
ing il;and he most positively cOntonded
that this fiscal plan Of President TyIsr's
was Walpole's old plan. dressed up and
improved upon by Mr. Biddle, who, he
said was on here few days since, and
whom, he more than intimated, was
cIoseted with the President, and lha, he
had no doubt this was BddIe's plan Of
onsaving the people, aided by President
Tyler. No one replied to Mr.. Benton,
and no other remarks whatever, in re.
Iation to the contents Of the Message,
were made in the Senate. Fifteen bun.
dred copies of the Message, with the
accompanying documents, d thirty five
hundred without, we're ordered to be
printed by the Senate, without dissen.
ting voice, and the usual number were
ordered by th9 House"
