the claims of her creditors by The mere ca

"ReSohped, AS the sense of this General
Assembly, That The citizens of Ohio re-
spcct the sanctity Of their engagements,

will, at all times, be found willing to pay

EMIGRATION FROM GREAT BRITAIN
A public meeting was held in London on
The 30th Of November, called by the lord
mayor, for the purpose Of considering the
important subject oil emigration as the
great means Of relief for the hundreds of
thousands Of unemployed persons in vari.
Gus parts Of the kingdom, and al the same
time, as a means of relief for the distress
existing in almost every one Of the British
colonies for the want OF labor. 1t was
said by the chairman, every year fifty
thousand Of their subjects were expatriat-
ing themselves to the United States, and
it was the duty Of the government to give
a tendency to the tide Of emigration to

Edwin Croswell, ESQ.,, Editor of the
Albany Argus, has been elected Presiden'
Of the Canal Bank Of Albany.
We have not seen any thing this many
a day that looked so much like u good
joke as the above announcement, which
is going the rounds Of the papers. But
they do say its a solemn fact. Well BET
a goose. that If the whole truth was known,
Croswell's nomination for this Bank Pre-.
sidency was made by some inyeterate
wag, who perhaps owed him one,' but
who had no more thought Of the actual
election Of the Argus man than Of n duke
dom in the planet Jupiter.
The Argus has been for some years
one Of the greatest Anti. Bank champions
10 the country. 1t is to be hoped the Ex-
State Paper will moi allow its artillery to
be spiked in this regard merely because
of the promotion of President Croswell.
We subjoiD a specimen OF the Anti
Bank logic Of the Argus. DO give us a
similar touch occasionally, Mr.. President,

THE LOCO FOCOS OF THE TENNESSEE
SENATE.


THE LOCO FOCOS OF The TENNESSEE
SENATE.
We made mention, yesterday, Of the
new position assumed by twelve Locofo
cos Of the Tennessee Senate, to prevent
the election Of United States Senators. A
majority Of the Senate voted to meet the
House in convention for the election OF
United States Senators, and fixed q day
for that purpose /; but, when the day ar.
rived, twelve Locofoco members OF the
Senate ~peremptorily refused to 60 into
convention, and thus prevented a quorum
of the Senate from being present. They
deliberately set at defiance and ~annulled
the vote OF their own body. Divesting
themselves of their Legislative characters,
they took the responsibility, as individuals,
Of saying the election Of United States
Senators should not take place, although
it is expressly required by the Constitu.
ton OF the Union! Every man who took
part in the lawless and most nefa rious
proceeding, deserved to be inst nifty ex.
PEELED from the legislative body to which
he belonged, and driven to his home amid
the indignant hootirgs Of an outraged pop.
ulace.
The Locofocos of she Tennessee Senate
have, first and last, put forth no less than
a dozen different pretences for refusing to
go into the election Of United States Sen,
ators. The last pretence, and the %silliest,
is that it is unconstitutional for the two
branches Of u State Legislature 10 elect

They contend that a United States Sena-

acting in its separate capacity. To sus.
tain themselves in this absurd and most
extraordinary position, they rely exclu-
sively upon a remark made somewhere by
Chancellor Kent, who says, that, IF the
question were a ns1 one, he should be
disposed to decide hat the two branches
