the Senate, and prepares their speeches
ana gives them directions, according 10
the latest advance in the progressive De-
hocracy' lie will prepare the speeches OF
such as cannot write themselves Disney,
who is decidedly the greatest man tho
minority have in either branch of the Je.
gsiature, occapied but little time, and tbot
was devoted othe objections he had to the
details Of the bilL. He has too much sense
to run into the ridiculous notions tbat the
smaller fry did, and with all he is a very
clever kind Of man, But | cannot psss
by the woud-be great man Of his patty,
but whom the party avoid recognizing as
leader with as much care as healthy
popuace would eper, | mean Senator
Banley. He certainly has occupied one
week of time on the Bank Bill lie was
the reputed author of the HumGug now on
the Statutes, and believe claims lis pater-
nifty, hut it is understood in that, he is
trying to steal the thunder of anolher.-
For it is said that he was not the author of
even that, but claimed it on account of
having introduced it. He possesses inn
pudence enough for any thing, and per-
haps the greatest stock OF vanity and ego
tlsm Of any man living, and on the whole
is poor weak little man, who occupies
more time primping his mouth, adjusting
his hair, and combing up his nice T9tle
whskers, than he does with reflection up-
on the interests of Community. Such were
the men and manner in which the people
of Ohio have been treated on that great
question. After takinga recess the Wings
proposed taking the vote, but as they had
determined not TO call the previous oues-
ton, the opposition offered amendment
after amendmenG vote was again pro-
posed, and speech succeeded speech until
about lnidnight. When al! other means
had failed Of fkeping off, W&ters called
for the reading of the .bill.--ths would oc-
cupy at least an hour, and the Speaker ve-
ry properly decided it out of order; from
this decision the Senator appealed, and af-
ter some discussion the appeal was with
drawn ans the question put to lbe Senate,
who refused 10 have the BID read. Alta
quarter past twelve the bill was engrossed.
On Friday the bill came up for its third
rerdingand ti1al passage---no Wing made
q single speech--BartIey occupied all the
afternoon and until one hour after night,
with his hard-money sayings, trcguently
declared that paper money was the cause
OF all the misery, Sc ffcring, &C., and
strange TO tell, he quoted as hard money
authority, John Adams, Alexander Hamik
ton, and stranger Still, Adam Smith. Be.
ing very weak man, it is the conceived
opinion, that on the SUI iect of the 'cumen-
cy he is a .N2Ra-mGRia, which doubtless
accounts for his understandable and anti
republican opposition 10 goodsound bank
ng system. After this hurangue had end
'd and one or TWO Of the pCp-guns had
been discharged, at about ten o'clock at
n ght the RngI vote was taken and resulted
in the passage ool the bill by a strict party
vote Of 2l fer to Is against. Thus ends
he doings Of the Senate on the Bank Bill.
On my return from The Queen City i will
give you the action of the House on this
same measure.
Yours, &c. EUGENE.
