We would ask the attention Of the
intelligent and honest men Of all parties,
OF Ohio and Of the whole country, 10 the
language and sentiments expressed by
Mr., NcNutty, the Representatve from
Knox county, and leading and promi.
nenl member Of his party, IN the House,
on Thursday. The bill 10 repeal the
charter Of the German Bank OF Woos.

said
"That he did not feel particularly
friendly to the bill, but he should vote
for it, however. He could not vote for
that part of The amendment Offered by
hIr Shenck) which authorized the in
stitution of Judicial proceedings. He
admired the So tenn Of settling The affairs
Of Banks rCccntiy j"h Oduced in CinCul-
matt, and thought it would prove more
efectuai than any thing that could be
done By the Legislature Nothing short
Of That wOUld be adequate, lie wanted
no better light to brighten his way in
the path Of duly, than THE BURNING

THE ST ,TE. And he would add, too,
that he should delight 10 see the natural
bodies OfthoSe who composed these frauds
upon the community, SUSPENDED LIKE
HAMAN HIGH BETWEEN HEAVEN AND

In reply TO some remarks from Mr..
Shenck, Mr.. M'NuIly reiterated those
atrocious sentiments. "Ihe patience of
the people, he said was exhausted -
There was a gang Of plunderers IN the
State, who had robbed the people of
Ohio OF more than all the conVicts OF the
PenteDtlary, He had no such profound
horror Of mobs as was prolessed by the
gentleman from Montgomery, (Mr, S.)
The decisions Of Judge Lynch were
seldom reversed, and that proved that
they were ,igh, The "tea party' at
Boston, was a mob, and there was no
difference between that act and the one

his Judgment CONSTITUTED THE
ONLY EFFICIENT SYSTEM OF
BANK REFORM. AND HE WANTED
TO SEE 1T CARRIED OUT. Mr..
M'NuIly said he represented a popuIa-
ton Of 10000, a majority ofwhom coin
cidcd with him in these doctrines, for he
had openly and boldly avowed them be-
fore the election, and had told his con-
stltuenrs if they did not agree with him
they had better send some one else TO
represent them in the Legislature, He
only regretted that he could not say
with another distinguished public man
who filed an honorable station in other
councils, "SoiHary and alone 1 set th1s
ball in motion" But in the exercise of
their uncircumscribed sovereignty, the
people had found out remedy for tho
abuses of The times, and he prayed 10

These are the sentiments which con.
