OlllO.-Suficicnt has been heard from the

Ionty OF wings have been elected To the I.e-

s,on Is tt'dn,phan,ly sustained and the ques-
ton OF It's repeal for ever laid at rcst. Anti
banking IN Ohio is dead, and can never iisc
again, although the loco ioco party ,nay yet,
perhaps, again rule the State aud sit in its
high Offices. They will never dare to issue
their thunders against the monetary ailairs OF
the people again, AMI dcnouncc the institu-
iions which they have established.
But let us SIC further into this mlttcr. aud

severe ordeal, trial oppressive and deprcs-

words. Her people have been ground down

prosperity. After lard struggle last scar
Jhey succeeded in elcctinga whig majority
and chartered II set of sound and sr5c.cr,tial
banks. No sooner was this done. than The
cry of repeal was raised by section Of tha,
party which Is III the ascendency in the Uni

teated; but will not the same men who have
threatened this destruction again be brought
before the people, aud will they not again,
