Ohio, as proposed BY the counties Of
Washington, Athens, Aeigs, Galiia, Law

the whole Wing delegation, that they
lcfl the capitol and ran home! We have
made particular inquiry if any body in the
city was frightened by its appearance in
the said paper, and have not heard of one
single instance where the same effect fol>
lowed, hence we must come to the con-
clusion, that the whig members in our
Legislature were frightened because they
desired TO be.
We dislike this political mapeuvering
when itgOes SO far. In the first, place
wo consider the Extra session entirely
uncaIled for, but IN the second place, sf-
ter il had been convened, it was imper.
alive on every member to stand 10 his
post. No matter what the consequence
might have been, no excuse can be made
for the withdrawal of the minority with
the intention Of thwarti6g the majority

for 20 fragrant an act, only adds to the in

The Ledger we'll says, that if the con.

such a government would be less united
than a rope OF sand, and too unstable in
its laws and institutions, 10 be worth

those who have fastened the damning
deed upon their souls. The Ledger
says:

The federal papers are giving the fact
that but one democratic nembsr Of the
House Of Representatives voted for the
big tariff bil, as evidence that the dem.
ocrats in general are opposed to atarif.
This is not the fact, as is evidenced by
the Circumstance that on The 18th inst.
Mr. IngersOll, democratic member from
Pennsylvania, introduced a bill..iDtoI the
House, proposing to enact tariff oil du-
ties sufficiently high to affSrd ample reVe-
nue. for the necessities of government,
aHd afford incidental protection; which
bill was sustained by the democratic
members of the north, and voted down
by the whole whig party of the House.
The democratic members opposed the
big tariff bill on the same grounds upon
which the President vetoed il, viz. its
connection with the land distribution act =.
While the federalist opposed all tariff for
revenue or protection, rather than lose
Clay's bribery law distributing the pro-
ceeds Ofthe public lands among the
States.
