Mr. Taylor, the Senator from this district, intro
duced preamble and resolutions decaratory of the
opinion OF the General Assembly of Ohio, that so
much OF the apportonment law enacted by Con-
gress, as requires the Congressional districts 10 be
SINGLE is unconstitutional, null, and void and that
u the General Assembly shall proceed to divide the
State OF ONO into single Districts will not be from
any respect to the law in question, but from long es
tabhshed custom and the preference of the people Of
ONO Resolutions of similar nature, and very
nearly the same In language, with those OF Mr.. Tay-
or, were also introduced on the same day in the
House OF Representatives by Mr. Sharp
There appears to be some difference in opinion
with regard TO the propriety of considering any other
business than that which relates to the apporton.
ment; but determination to adjourn at the end of
two or three weeks is apparent.
Mr.. Van Buren, was received with q great deal OF
enthusiasm at Cleveland Every one, without dis
ncton OF party testified the utmost respect for the
distinguished gentleman who had honored Cleve-
land with visit, and the addresses (of Mr. Stark
weather TO Mr. Van Buren, and Mr. Van Buren, in
rreply) were quite happily conceived. Mr.. Van
Bnren had another opportunity, which he did moi
fa to embrace, of showing the magnanimity of his
character by eulogizing in terms of deserving praise
the immortal Clinton his former great political an
tagonist as man who has rendered himself " illus
tnons in the annals of our country"

charter OF King Charles IL has been reversed in the
Newark Institute by majority of two. You per.

though Governor Dorr has retired from the contest
with disgrace, Is not yet over; but that you may
again look for squally times in little Rhody l as
sure you that the result will be vastly different

The abundant products of the prolific soil of Ohio
are now mostly gathered, and never perhaps, were
the labors of the husbandman more amply repaid in
quantity and in kind if not in price The people OF
Ohio will now pay her traders, and they will in turn
pay New York, and buy immense quantities Of goods
IN addition. The public works Of this State and
New York will, OF course, yield large amounts of
tolls, which will aid these States in paying the in
terest on their debts.
The weatherfor week past has been excessively
warm, and now we have actually got summer, il
comes with vengeance. ~ L'OCCIDENTE.
