LEGIsLATIVE.-By reference to the
proceedings IN the'preceding columns, il
will be seen that the whig members of the
House have attempted party maneuvre
to postpone the apportionment of the
Congressional districts until the next
winter, when they think they may posi-.
bly, have a majority in the legislature, and
be enabled TO apportIon the State in such
a manner as 10 secure TO themselves
such advantages as they are sure TO take
whenver they have the power.
In the House, on the 30th ult. Mr.
Byington offered the following resolution.
ResOlued by the Senate and House of
Representatives. ofthe State of Ohio. That
John Quincy Adams, in making himself
the ready instrument Of traitors, by bring
ing forward a formal proposition IN Con.
gress, TO dissolve the American Union,
has, in the opinion of all honest men, rem
dered himself Infamous.
The resolution was lost by tie vote
of SO to 33-one democrat, Mr.. McNulty,
voting against it, on account Of its con.
taining the word infamous, which Mr..
McNuIly thought too harsh TO be applied
to man who had been President of the
United States. On the afternoon of the
same day, McNulty offered the following
resolutions, Preiaced by preamble:
Resolued by the General Assembly Of
the STATE Of Ohio, That John Quincy
Adams, Of Massachusetts,, in aiding to
give publicity aud Importance to this trea.
sonable proposition, has subjected him.
self to the merited censure aud repre-
henson Of his countrymen.
ReSOIUed, That, in the opinion Of this
General Assembly, the House Of Repre-
sentatiFes of the United States owe il 10
themselves, TO the American people
whose Representatives they are, to
stamp the course and conduct of the
member from Massachusetts with the Sc
verest marks of its indignant disapproba
ton and censure.
The resolutions were adopted--yeas $
SO, nays 90.
Mr.. Probasco offered for adoption q
long series Of PreAmbles and resolutions
setting forth that it is necessary TO ostab
lish State Bank with branches, for the
purpose of relieving the people and sup
plying the Country with sound currency

the proposed iDnovAtiun ne made, il would |
operate to prevent the State Of Ohio,
from being represented in the National
House of OfRepresentatives, from the 4th
day of March ls43, until after the sec.
ond Tuesday of October lS43--a period
gilmore than seven months. Should it,
under such circumstances suit the ambi-
tiOn, or the caprice, of the party now in
the ascendant, in the national councils,
10 call another extra session of Congress,
for the purpose of supplying the alarming
deficit. in the national finances, which
has been the event of their short political
ascendency, the state of Ohio would ba
deprived Of any voice whatever, in the
popular branch Of Congress, in the i'm
portant question of restoring the crippled
fortunes of our country. The commit
tee also imagine that il would afford graf
ificaiion 10 the whole community, and to
none more than TO the members of this
House, 10 see the present congress fix
the ratio of representation, under the late
census, at SO carly period as would ena-
BILE the legislature of Ohio, at its present
session, to district the state. But the
committee regret TO say, that, owing 10
the engrOssing nature Of other subjects
before congress, which seem to be con-
sidered OF paramount importance, if not
20 the interests of the country, at least to
the welfare Ofthe whig party, little hope
is left that such a concession in favor of
the country, at the expense Ofthe schemes
of the whig party in congress, will be re-.
allied; which report was adopted.
Mr.. Chambers said, as the yeas and
nays had been demanded, which demand
was not heard by the speaker, and as ma
ny of his political friends, were anxious
TO record their votes upon the question,
he hoped some one OF the majority would
move reconsideration.
Mr.. SIeedman moved reconsideration.
After two speeches from Mr.. Shenck,
and one from Mr.. Byington, In relation to
the matter,
Mr.. Steedman said, he had moved
reconsideration of the vote, at the solici.
tation Of the gentleman from Muskingum,
mr. Chambers,) with the express under.
standing, that his friends might have an
opportunity Of recording their votes upon
the question, but as the gentleman's
friends are taking up the time Of the
House, by making long speeches, he would
now ask leave.lO withdraw his motion,
which was agreed to, and the motion with.
drawn.
Mr. PrObasco on leave. reported a
bill to amend the act, defining the du.
ties of Township Treasurers; read the
first time.
Mr.. UPdegraff, in accordance with pre-
vious notice, introduced bill to provide
for the execution and recording of mort
cages on personal property, where the
vendor retains possession of the goods,
read the first time.

most incOntestibly violates two provisions
of the eConstitution ofihe United States.-
the one which prohibits the States from
passing laws impalring the obligation uf
contracts, and that which provides that
nothing but gold and silver shall be made
a legal tender Journal.
In the first place, the Journal saws. that
Law has been in existence for "seven.
teen years" But the cunning of the
Journal Overleaps itself-as i. forgsts to
tell the public that the Banks generally
take good care when they fail, TO assiga
their effects into the hands of men who
refuse TO take their notes, and thus rascal
like, evade the law, and defraud the peo.
pie. 1t was 10 keep up and continue this
fraud upon the note holder that the 81
whig members ofthe House voted nay!-
10 this fact we call the attention of the
people, and shall continue TO do so, that
they may see who it is that side with the
swindling banks. The Journal then says
that the object of the law was TO "enable
Gov. Shannon 10 pay his $4,000 nole at
The Manhattan Bank in The deprecia ted
paper of the bank" &c. A very modest
charge indeed, and from a very modest
quarter, and no doubt that the Journal
would prefer being permitted to remain
in its glory, TO being held up to the com.
muniiy as convicted liar, Of the honest
grade.
Governor Shannon does not owe the
Manhattan Bank Que cent, no not ONE
CENT, and yet this convicted libeller, who
says there has been a law in force, "I7
years." TO compel Banks to take their
own paper, halches up lie TO make a
charge of criminality upon The Legisla-
ture for the passage of such a law. If
such law was in force why was it ne.
cessary to pass another for the same pur.
pose2 But aside from this, what must
be the character of party warfare that
would counIenance lie like this upon
the private affairs ofan opposing candi.
date.
But all this is but The tactics Of fs der
alism. The 81 whig members gave a
vote, at which all the honest wings ofthe
State are rebelling, and now we find
the usual resort to falsehood and defam.

THE RIDICULOUS POSITION OF
THE WHIG ORGAN.

The Journal this morning, complains
bittorly, that we hold It up daily, TO public
scorn, for its falsehOods and open profit
gacy. says:
"lfit were true that we enjoyed the
reputation which he is so anxious to fas
ten upon US, whence the necessity Tor
averring every other day, that the Jour.
nal is not to be relied on? Why NOT leave
US alone in our gloryS A fact so
we'll established surely requires no repe-
tition."
We assure the Journal that we do not
pretend to take the trouble to contradict
one ofits ialsehoOds, out of a dozen.-
The limits of fOur paper would not admit
OF it, were it even necessary, and we re.
gret that we cannot leave that paper alone
IN such glory. We conceive il duty we
owe the public, fboth parties, to point
out few Ofils shameless lies, just TO con-
vince them how destitute Of all deCency
or principle "neatly printed" paper can
render itself, when moved..by unprincipled
and corrupt hands, and heads as silly as
wicked. For instance, the Journal Of
this morning among numerous other false
hoods, has the following:

that the Granville Bank has "stopped."-

stopped issuing notes; for we think it
never earnestly commenced paying
The public are now made aware Of their

dollars of the notes of this swindling insti-

PATENT SERMONS.
BY DOW. JR.

BY DOW, JR.
My Friends:-Every body knows, that
in these United States at present, a con-
siderable proportion of the disagreed6les
incident to humanity, arises from the
premature decay Of the teeth.
Why are we thus sfflicted9 Some say
We use too much warm diet-toO ch
of the sweet meats, &c, and that on this
account we so early experience decay
of the grinders essential to justification,
and of the beautifully enamelled ivory,
which every lady-aye and gentleman
LoO-lOves to see.
| will not, my friends, at present in
quire further into the primary causes Of
this calamity; but will hasten TO inform
you, tina, the fact existing, has given rise
to very able investigations in the science
of TOOtholOgy, which have resulted in the
formation of the Art and Profession Of
Dentistry.
Now, EVERY BODY KNOWS, that unskil-
ful, unprincipled, peregrinating bipedS,
styling themselves Dentists, have infested
the smaller villages, swindlng the COM
munity.
My friends, we ought to put stop 10
this sin, by telling these men TO become
honest and quit the business.
Z In consequence ofthe impostions thus
Prac,ised, it is believed by many that
plugging and cleaning the teeth, &c. are
useless. But is not this drawing wrong
conclusions from the premises? You
would not coGclude there was no benefit
in shoelng your horse, because he had
been lamed by two or three bungIers!
Well il shOuLI be known by EVERY Bo-
DY, that those Dentists who travel about
the country, are generally great humbugs!
And you should also know, that "cGrieS"
in the teeIhcan be effsctually stopped, BY
removing all the decayed parts, and filling
the cavity tightly with gold. In proof Of
this, it may be stated that there are thou
sands in the larger cities, whose teeth
have been preserved in this manner from
ten o twenty FIVE years.
Again, many persons let their teeth
drop out, even while sound, by suffering
''tarlar" Tor scurvy, as it is called) to col
lect on them near the roots, which causes
the gum TO be absorbed.
Teeth that will never decay, can be in
serted, GENERALLY without pain) SO as to
answer excellent purposes for articulation
and partial masiication
Also, by the use Of tbet Improved For
ceps, teeth may be extracted with one.
half the pain usually given, and certain
" that the jaws will in no case be frac-
Iured.
In conclusion, my friends, have been
ed 10 make these remarks because see
hat DR.. Smith, OF Cincinnati, who comes
3 US recommended by some Of the first
physicians and Dentists in lhe West, has
determined to visit Georgetown once or
vice each year. He is now in the place
md will remain week longer.
/ And further, because / believe many
