Meeting OF the Ohio Legisattwe-l lnaug guration OF
Gopernor-Curious circumstance of father and
son, one Governor, the other Governor elect
Banking in Ohio-Ayred KeAy-Presdsntia
Election.
Mr.. BENNETT =
Yesterday the Legislature of Ohio assembled
David Chambers, Of Muskingum, was chosen
Speaker Of the Senate, and John M. Gallaher, Of
Clark, Speaker of the House.
In the afternoon, the Legislature proceeded to
count the votes for Governor, which occupied the
remainder of the day.
This morning, Thomas w. BARLEY, late Speaker
OF the Senate, and acting Governor, sent in his
message, and at 10 O'Clock Mordecia Bartly, the
Whig Governor elect, was inaugurated.
II was a curious thing to see a son, the Governor
of State, advancing through the hall Of the
House the clerks desk, with his father by his
side, to take the oath OF office Chief Magistrate
son laying off the robes of Chief Magistrate. and
his father taking them up! One having he'll the
office as Democrat, the other receiving 1t as
Whig.
| Thomas M Bartly, the late Governor, is young
man, about thrty-three years Of age, has been, and
| is now, a talented and distinguished member o
| the Democratic party. Mordecaa BARLEY, the
present Governor, is a Wing, a fine, good looking
II
eress from Ohio. Another thing was equally Curl
Gus: in the same forenoon, the Legislature re-
ceived two addresses, each from Governor, both
members Of the same famlly-but in the measures
and doctrines recommended. far as the poles
asunder.
The principal question discussed by each, was
banking, now the great question in Ono. Nor,
| decia Barley, the Whig Governor, recommends
system different, in some respects, from any that
has heretofore been broached. As soon as 1t IL
published, will send you sketch Of his system.
II is doubtful whether his system will findavor with
the Whig majority. II is TOO strongly guarded and
restricted suit the tastes OF those who are cla-
morng for banks, but whose chief want is bank
paper for their own fse
II is too soon for the measures Of the Wing party
| to be developed There seems to be a detcrmlna-
| ton to make this what other sessions have not
been, a business session. The Wings have 80
on without any serious obstruction from the Demo-
Gratis. Indeed, the latter party seem disposed to
| give the Wings rope, and only look on.
Among the wings there is more talent than has
| been among them in the Legislature Ter some con.
siderable time. There are a number Of ready busi-
| ness men in both branches. But the principal man
n the Assembly is the senator from this district,
| Alfred Kelly His long experience IN politics and
the afairs OF the State with his great industry and
| talents, give to him prominence that no one pos
sesses Besides, there is probably no man in the
State familiar as he s, with what is now OF chiei
/ moment-the finances. His position for many
years as Canal Commissioner, and afterwards Fund
| Commissioner, has given him every facility that
| his decided taste for that branch OF public business
| could have desired His, therefore, will be the
/ controlling influence in the Assembly.
/ so far as relates to the domestic affairs OF the
| State, its stock, currency, and public works, this
| must be very important session OF the Legisla-
i ture.
The Clay Electors are here, and tomorrow viii
/ cast the electoral vote of Ohio for President.
