NEW BANKING LAW.

We have received copy OF the late Act
to authorize and regulate Banking in Ohio,
and regret that its great length, for the
present, forbids its publication in our COL
umns. At some subsequent period, we
shall either publish this act entire, or
synopsis of it, if practicable. A cursory
examination of the new Bank law, con-
Vinces us, that its provisions are such as
will not fail to secure the establishment Of
as many sound and safe banks as the bu-
siness Of the State will requirei and wecan
but congratulate the friends of safe and
practicable banking on the timely passage
of this act. The hard-mowpy Lokies, as
matter of course, will raise the cry OF
"RepeaH" "RepeaH" but we imagine that
the people have had enough of the BARLEY
end Latham humbug&, and that their good
sense will induce them to stand fast by
the new banking system, until its merits
are fully and fairly tried. This much at
least is dSe to the promotion and pro!ec-
ton of the trade and business of the State
all Of which is so intimately connected
with, orconuoied by banking facilities.
The Wing members OF the present Le-
gislature, by the passage Of this act, if fol
no other good work, have, in our humble
judgment, entitled themselves to the plaU,
dts of "wELL DONE, GOOD AND FAITHFUL
SERVANTS"

OUR FOREIGN RELATIONS.

We are afraid that the general sense Of
the nation is not sufficiently awake to the
critical position in which our country is
likely to be placed by the action OF the lIN-
ecutve upon our foreign relations, and by
the partial concurrence Of the House Of
Representatives in one branch OF its pro-
jects, and the action Of that body, even
surpassing the Executive recommended
tons, in regard to another.
In speech made yesterday by Mr.. Ad-
ans, on the spur oil the moment, but IN
which he was led Iy the chain Of his
thoughts into a much wider field than he
intended, Mr.. Adams took occasion to al |
ludc to the present posture Of the Oregon
question, and to the possible consequences
Of the bill on thtt sub ect which has passed
the Nouse, should it ripen into Il law, he
said, would be to bring us into collision
with Great Britain, and to cause just ap-
prchcnsion of our being ultimately involv-
ed thereby in.a war with that Power
Abiding to a rumor which had reached
him of the purpose of the Administration,
IN the event Of the passage of the Oregon
bill, TO propose to add at once five regl-
mcnts Of infantry to the present military
establishment, Mr.. A. intinatcd that how
ever necessary or proper such a measure
might be in such contingency, 1t was no.
thing in comparison 10 the extent of mill
tmy preparation which it might become
necessary to make in consequence OF the
rash and inconsiderNte action in regard
3 to the Oregon question which the House
of Representatives had on It's part already
countenanced.
Referring to the speculOtions which haC
been INDUCED in as to a supposed deslgr
! of Great Britain to acquire tho Island o
! Cuba by negotiation with Spain--to whIcl
u he said we should, by our annexation o
! Texas, loose all right to take exception oil
y general principles--with what proba6lllt
u of success should we undertake by fore
y to prevent her acquisition of that Island
~ or wrest it from her hands when acquired
y, considering the utter disparity Of our nRvJ
y, force to hers. Were we, following out tn
Wv idea Of the late Secretary of the Nav!

ave with which il had been sroken OF, sc

The prominent symptoms are, tender
ness about the mouth, paines in the tones,

eases embrace a wide range, and their
ravages spread 20 fearful eXLen1. Hth-

BASE HYPOCRISY.

The Detroit Advertiser, gives specimen
of the elevated views OF James G. Blrney,
in his past and future course,
M, Birney, it seems, lately made asPeech
at Jackson, Michigan, designed to rally the
liberty party to action. Speaking OF the
result of their past labors, IN the late ever
memorable Presidential campaign, MIR. Blr-
ney uses the following language which we
think shews how much Mr., Bhney's love
of country, and sympathy for the Slave has
to do with the political action by which he
and the leaders of the Simon pure party are
governed, Here it is
"But suppose we had voted for Mr.. Clay
supposed him elected, and Texas kept
out-.where would have been the Liberty
party! Scattered among Shareholders and
their allies without having accomplished
any thing, The Liberty party would not
have been existence at this time 1t would
have been completely dissolved"
Ave! "Where would have been the
Liberty pary?' This is the end Of ALL
"where would have been the party" A
patriot would have said, and where would
have been Texas! Where would have
been the Union! All safe. The Union
not torn by observation-disclosures outside Of
our territory, and the area Of Slavery not
extended.
1t will be remembered by ourreadersfhat
the parg with Mr.. Birney at its head, claims
to have all TIC honesty, morality, Potrioiis0',
and indeed we believe all the religion OF
the country embodied in the two taIismen-
ic words Liberty Party" Out upon such
an impudent pretender, and base hypocrite
as james Il, Birney.

Congress.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25, i845.
SENATE.

Last evening the Senate met again at
FIVE o'clock.
Mr.. Berrien not appearing, Mr.. McDuE
fe took the fooT and although very sick,
made a powerful speech in favor of an
neXation.
This morning after the miscellaneous
business, the consideration Of the subject
was again resumed,
MIR. Allen, of Ohio, having tie floor,
spoke with great earnestness in favor OF
the resolution.
Nr. Bewien followed against the resolu-
.uons, after which the Senate took recess
.tiII FIVE O'Clock. 1t is understood that the
question will be taken tomorrow.
The bill for the admission of Iowa &
Florida, having been reported by the SEN
ate committee without amendment, will
probably be acted upon at the end Of the
week.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
A report was received from the Secre-
tary OF the Navy in answer to u resolution,
calling for information as 70 whether cor
poreal punishment cannot be abolished in
the navy. His opinion is that it cannot.
The joint resolution authorising the Sc
cretary of the Treasury, to deduct from
the accounts of defauIting States, the a.
mount of interest on their bonds held by
Government, was read a third time and
passed.
A resolution was adopted, calling on
the President for copies OF correspondence
with our officers ct Rio Janero, concern
ing the African slave trade.
After the disposal Of some other business
of little Importance, the House Hpnt into
committee Of the whole, and resumed the
consideration of the Senate bill TO reduce
the rates Of postage.
Messrs. Cobb and Yancey opposed the
bill, and Mr.. Dana strenuousIy defended
it.
The two hours for debate having expir-
ed, the voting commenced. A great num-
Der OF proposed amendments were reject,
ed.
The opponents Of the bill kept up a most
calling system Of annoyance, by continu.
ally moving that the Committee rise. and
perpeEing the Chair by the most foolish
amendments.
Just before the cars left, L motion to rise
was ncgatived by vote Of two to onc,-
There appears to be a disposition to dispose
Of the bill tonight.
[PoStscriR.-We learn from the Nation
al InteIigencer that the Post Office bill
was ultimately taken out OF committee OF
the whole, and reported to the House,
where it was expected to pass the next
morning 1t has undergone but two IL
mendments 10y the House; one Of them
provides that 1t shall 60 into operation at
the commencement OF the ensuing fiscal
year, (the first Of July,) the other fixes the
rates at five and ten cents for single letters
depending on whether they he conveyed
under or over three hundred miles, in.
stead Of the uniform rate Of five cents
without regard to the distance, as pre-
scribed by the Senate. These amend
ments will of course have to receive the
sanction Of the Senate.-PWsJmgh ChroH

A REBuKE-THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

The correspondent of the U. States Ga
