Our next Governor.

1t is now determined to hold Whig
Convention on the 22d Of February, at
a convenient point, TO nominate a Wing
candidate for our next Governor. We
regret TO perceive an opinion prevails
generally, that our present most worthy
and distinguished Governor will not
again consent to become a candidate
Governor CoTwin, however, has not vel
made public his wishes upon this sub
ject. We are not therefore justified in
coming to the conclusion, that he will
not accept the nomination, if it be the
undivided wish of his fellow Citizens
But, as there is at least a possibility
that he may decline a nomination, it
may be we'll for the people to cast about
them for some other one Of their fellow.
citizens, whom they may be willing to
select for their Governor. The names
Of soma have already been suggested
JUDGE WILSON, Of Jefferson county, has
been brought forward by several Of our
cotemporaries; and, if the Convention
should m6ke choice Of him, it will be
our pleasure and our duty to support
him with untiring industry and unabat-
ing zeal. The Judge is veteran de-
mocrat, Of the old JefFersonian school, -
he has labored with and for the people
Of Ohio as long and as faithfully as al
most any other citizen that could be
named; and he is, unquestionably, a
man Of clear head and sound principles,
So much for him; and now a word for
Col. James Collier, Of Jefferson
Col, Collier too, has been named by
many as a candidate for Governor. Our
readers know him "lIke book" He
needs no euIogy from our pen. His
friends are numerous throughout the
State, and they will "graPple to him with
hooks Of STEEL" Col, Collier has peril

defence of his country. lie has served
his immediate fellow citizens in various
civil offices, and always with success
and fidelity. 1.-The should come into the
canvass, he will bring with him moral
and intellectual power sufficient for any
service that the most animated campaign
may require.

LEBANON MIAMI BANK.
We lhave heard a statement to day
with regard to This Bank which desc rVes
public attention,
The increase Of lis circulation Of late
has caused much surpri.e. THIS state
ment, if true, explains the mystery.
The Auditor Of State, Mr.. Brough, it
would seem, made an arrangement with
this Bank by which it was to redeem,
or take up the checks or certificates
given for the work done on the Miami
canal from this to Piqua. Under This
arrangement one individual has paid
out twelve hundred dollars OF its small
notes. How is this? We should like
an explanation.
We make this statement upon good
authority. If it be true what picture
does it present. The State made par.
ty TO a contract by which notes are is
sued and the people cheated! This
smacks little like another Binghamp
ton affair, Of which our late Governor

"EXCHEQUER OF THE UNITED
STATES"

On our first page, The reader will
find the bill to create Pre- sident TyIer's
proposed focnt agent, the "Exchequer
Of the United States.'' We cannot
make room al present for the able re-
port OF the Secretary Of the Treasury,
which accompanied this bill. In rram-
ing this bill, it will be seen, the Secre-
tary has followed with strict fidelity the
plan sketched by the President IN his
annual Message. We see nothing in
The whole project, as now presented,
which tends to remove the objections
urged against the less perfect sketch
given by the President. In its present
shape it cannot become a law. 1t is
possible that The scheme will be divesied
Of all its banking attribues-such as
The issuing Of Treasury notes-seIIing
drafts, &C. and, when so simplifed, 1t
may be adopted as a temporary method
Of receiving and disbursIng the public
revenue. The debate which has aIrea-
Gy taken place in regard TO this bill, in
tbs Senate, gives plauslbiIiIy to this sup
position.

will be recolIecled that Wilson Shannon,
the defeated candidate Of 1910. some
weeks ago, positively declined the Lo.
cofoco nomination for Governor Of this
State. His letter OF decination was
published far and near; and Wilson was
supposed to be off the course in good
faith. But not so. 1t seems that lit.
tie coaxing only was needed. Those
who knew him aud knew what he really
wanted, sof.soaped him little; and
Wilson comes up to the work, and no
mistake. 1t is settled, therefore, by
some Sir'y.nine (membe's of the Legi'.

Wilson Shannon shall be the LocofocO

COURT IN BANK.

The decisions of the Court in Bank,
at the late session, aPpear TO US to be un-
usually important. We should have
published these decisions but for the
fact that it is almost impossible to un-
derstand, from the very brief reports
given in the Columbus papers, what the
question before The Court really was.
10 truth without the facts of each case,
1t is not TO be supposed that any one
can readily or certainly comprehend the
principle settled by the decision. We
deem the following too important to be
withheld from our readers, The CO.
Iumbus cores pondent for the Cincinnati
Gazette, in late letter says:
The Court in Bank this morning de.
cded that The hoIders OF notes of the Or.
phan's Institute Bank, could not recover
the amount OF notes OF tho Institute, mas.
much as the law declared them absolute
y void! This decision is general, and
includes the paper Of all unauthorized
banks. Those who take such notes there
fore take them at their peril the law will
not aid the collection Of them. The
same law makes void the obligations
gwen 10 such Oank-so that these kind
Of notes rest upon matter of confidence,
honor against law!
In connexior with the above, the fol-
lowing decision may be appropriately
given:

Alexandria" Society Licking. Hitch.
cock Held, that grant OF power in
an act Of Incorporation ITO hold any es.
tale real or personal, & the same to sell,

they shall deem most proper for the
interests of The corporation" does not
confer upon such corporations banking
privileges. That under clause in an
act of incorporation that the action of
The corporation shall be "subjset to such
rules and regulations as the legislature
from time TO time may think proper to
make" the general assembly may re-
strain such corporation from exercising

Suspension Of Specie Payments m v. Orleans :

banks, and distrust in others thereby revived,
that severe run made on the Citizens, Con

which tho Citizens Bank, together with the Lou
;sana State Banks all suspended the payment Of
specie on tier notes until December Htrt.
The same paper Of the Sd inst. says:-The

and Traders, tie Carro!toD, the Union, and The
Bank OF Louisiana. All these banks, except the
Union have but nominal existence they nre
neither issuing Their own notes, nor dscoaniIng
those Of others; that their position Is matter
of Lutte consequence to the pubic. Their la
bilIies are but Itile, and they arc known 10 have
means to meet Them; there Is, therefore, no anX:
