The Hon Thomas l.. Hamr and the Democracy

&c.
Our political circles have lately been thrown
into some commo,ion by the virtual Gas most peo-
pie regard i) detection of the Hon. Thomas l..
Hamerf from the democratic party. AT a meeting
of a few gentlemen, Mr.. Hamer introduced a series
of resolutions deneuncing the financial policy Of
the democratic members of the present General
Assembly; and a portion of the democratic party
as a /" hard money faction" These resolutions
have elected the most severe animadv versions from
many democratic journals, and called forth a reply
from the Hon. Rufus p. Spalding, Speaker Ct the
House OF Representatives, in which Mr.. Hamer's
newly expressed opinions are commented upon
with a caustic severity, and an attempt made to
show their Inconsistency with the former ostensi-
BILE opinions OF their author. Mr. Hamer is a lawyer
Of eminence, and is the same gentleman who, a. a
Representative in Congress from Ohio, some years
ago, distinguished himself for his ability. More
recently he was a candidate for Senator in Con-
gress, but the Hon. Benjamin Tappan obtained the
nomination Of the caucus. 1t is not supposed that
Mr.. Hamsr's example will be thought worthy Of
much attention.
As we approach nearer and nearer to the time Of
holding the elections, it becomes more and more
manifest that the abolitionists Of Ohio will not
rally as a distinctive parry, but that the great mass
Of them will vote for Governor Corwin. Judge
King, the abolition candidate, may possibly receive
1000 votes; but even that l think a large estimate
The democratic party count upon Wilson Shan

sylvania and Kentucky paper, and Of the notes Of
the st. Clair Bank OF Michigan. The notes Of this
latter bank made payable at the banking house of
the Messrs. Smith, OF this city, in current funds,
constitute a great portion Of the circulation in this
vicinity, and notwithstanding an occasional denun-
citation in the public prints, they are sought for by
many as preferable TO any other paper aaOat. 1t is
by no means improbable that the state If the cur
rency and oil the State finances may receive some
further attention at the extra session Of the Legis.
lature, which commences on the 18th of July next.
The navigation on the OhioCanal having re cem-
menced, the streets Of our city again resound with
the hum Of business, and although in the earlier
portion Of the season the,usual amount Of businessis
not anticipated, yet tits supposed that when the
abundant crops, which now cover the surface OF
Ohio, are gathered to q harvest, we shall have no
reason to complain Of the dizziness pervading our
commercial relations, but, on the contrary. have
cause Of graduation that we have abundant means
wherewith 10 pay our debts.
The weather is most beautiful; we are seemingly
in the midst Of summer, and all nature is wreathed
in smiles and preparing TO put on her gaudiest
attire. LOccIpESTE.
