CONGRE ESSlUNAL APPOR PlONMENT
ACT

We ore pleased 10 see that Senator Allen
has brought this matter before the Seuale, and
urged the speedy action Of Congress fiji is
not done soon, OHIO will be sadded with the
expense Of an extra session, during next SUM-
mer. The Legislature of Ohio does more bu-
sness in one day than Congress does in
week.
Mr.. Allen said tha; he did not rise TO pro
tract the discussion Of the matter now before
the Senste-ihe motion to refer the bill to re-
psal the Distribution ac-but to express his
sincere ,sire that the Senate would not allow
itself TO be drawn into protraced discussion
of that or any other general or exciting nature
until Congress shoild have passed the act to
spporlion the representation among the States.
There is, said he, neither reason nor excuse
for delaying action on that subject. II is work
which has 10 be done, and should be done first
and quickly, as many Of the States will olher-
wise be compelledto hold extra sessions at
great and unnecessary expense. For Congress
6v inactiOn and indifference to the interests of
the States, to inAict the ills Of such burdens
upon them, especially in their known condition
of embarrassment, would be to them the gross
ses, injustice. have, therefore, embraced
this occasion TO call The attention of those to
this subject who are more particularly charged
with It and to intimate to such as NAV be of
like opinions with myself, the impolicy of con-
sumng too much time in The discussion of oth-
er subjects which may, with more proPrietJ DO

OHIO LEGISLATURE.

We have no room to call attention TO the
important movements, in both branches, this
morning, on the subject of Banks. The Bill
introduced into the Senate, by Mr., Taylor is
in the proceedings at length The others shall
be published as soon as copies are obtained.
These bills with the late decisions of the Su-
preme Court, will bring the Banks to their
senses. A bystander handed US the following
on the subject.
Mr.. Msdary:
You will have learned ere this that the De-
mocraic Legislature, has fired it first gun.
The chairman ofthe currency committee, in
the Senate this morning, reported bill touchH
ing Unauthorized paper, and one TO repeal The
German Bank Of Wooster. 10 be sure the
wo,k has but com menced but let the Democ-
racy ofthe Buckeye State respond from every
hill and plain until their Representatives have
finished the work they are sent to perform The
time fixed in the Resumption Bill, for the Bank
10 commence the payment Of their debts, is the
first of March, which will be close on the heels
Of the passage of The BILL Thiss is sufficient
notice, being guilty, they have anticipated the
verdict. 1t is congrauatipg to the Democra-
cy to be assured that their Representatives
are mbued with the right on these important
questions. Much responsibility rests on this
Legislature But we firmly believe they will
not dsappoint their constituents, that it is re-
served for them TO finally close up, system of
things that has worked more oppression than
British tyrsnny.
Wewoud belle the present Legislature were

1T is glory enough to serve in such cause
and we say 10 hose embarked it., goi speed
until these corporations that have repudiated
their honest debts, violated their charters, and
the confidence of The people, deranged the ex-
change, and crippled the trade and industry Of
the country, are brought TO feel their subser-

The BETTER TINES The Wings when they
came into power promised us better times, but
every act Ct ;her administration he's tended 10
make platters worse. They wish now 10 create
debt of $4,000, 900 without providing any
specific means for the payment of the interest.
They have given away the public lands and no
money can be derived from that source. The
revenue from Customs is deficient at least
$5,0OO,0OO per aunum, and yet the govern
ment hopes to preserve iIs integrity. We are
getting alorg fast--like a crab, backwards.
We are pursuing the very plan 10 render our
debt eventually as great as that of England. 1t
is high time we were retracing our steps.
