The result! Why, in ilie plsce ofa Branch

with capital of one million Of dollars. the
Legislature chartered the Banks Of Charles
ton, Cheraw, Camden. Columbia. Ham.
burg. Georgetown. and tho great Rail
Road Bank with an increase Of Bank

lou Of dollars!
This was the great error into which our
Stats ran. and which gave rise to the wild
speculation. and the shaving operations
that have overrun the country. aud invol-
we'd tho people 90 largely in debt. Soon
after these Banks went into operation,
they had the country flooded with proni-
ses 10 pay; aud spirit ofspeeula'ion was
produced, which far cxcseded anything
ever known before in this STATE. Immense
profits were realised in Bank dividends.
and in the sale Of Bank stprk, and after
oil the means Of specaia,ins, shaving. and
skinning. were exhausted. fhen came Gus

stopped their accommodations. They are
unable or unwilling 20 continue their for

command Of so large an arnenrt OF Bank
Capital, that they control lhc whale mon

for several years controlled tho price Of

THE OVERTHROW OF LEGISLA-

however, only proves how dear their ins,i.

we cannot but rejoice tn find that this frs,

such deep and strong feeling.
We perceive ,ba, some Philadelphia
and N: York papers lave been provided,
in advance, with misrepresentation, to
ward of The shock Of this Federal move
ment upon that party in other SIn'es.-
They have been informed that the districts
were so formed by he Legislature, that the
Federal party could seud but six Repre-
scuialives TO Congress. 4 fact stated 10
the Ohio Statesman, taken in connection
with tho districts provided in the bill. and
the population in each, las set forth in the
Globe last nisht,) proves conclusively that
there is no, tho slightest pretexl for the
charge Of serrymandsrinS. The Ohio
Statesman says:
ITO rcfu,e this charge, IL need only be

place as proper one for the Legislative
functions Of the General Assembly could
be here conducted in peace, and without

compli,hed, is matter Of doubt. An offi.

There is, then. no alternative len. but

This is the only way in hich it appears
to me thas we can be separated as btaiy

Gentlemen Of the Senate: From CIR

al quorum. The power Of this body to
perform its legislative functions is at au
end. Without con,men'in. upon the rev.

situation, the question may well be asked,
what can we do! Can we adjourn with
GU, delay! The Constitution Of Ohio
provides tha, neither House shall, wi,hou,
the couscp, Of the other, adjourn for moro
than two days. How arc We to procure
the consent Of the other branch to tjourn
without day! [, cannot DO done. We
cannot interchange communications; we
canno, send or receive messages, for we
are without quorum.
The Constitution also provides that, "in
case Of disagreement between tho TWO
Houses, With respect to the time Of ad-
iournment, the Governor shall have power
10 adjourn the General Assembly," &c.
But there is, and can be, no disagreement,
between the two Houses with respect TO
the time Of adjournment, for we can have
no official communication with each other.
The Governor cannot, then. interfere and
adjourn this General Assembly.
The Constitution further provides. tha,
"two- thirds Of each House shall constitute
quorum 10 do business; hut smaller
rumber may adjourn from day to day. and
compel the attendance Of abseu, members"
On its appearing. this morning. tha, n
