Governor OF Ohio, TO The meeting, and he
was listened to for more than an hour with
that unhroken attention which is ever
evinced when William Bebb touches upon
the cardinal principles of the Wing and
opposition parties ofOho.
Al four o'clock, the Convention Iece'v'd
i the report fthe committee on R, solutions.

The rerolulio II ware then 7, al by the
Secretary. and are ~ follows;
Resoired, That We believe that sound
Banking Syste,n is essential u the welfare
and prosperity OF the people, and so bellrv-
ing, We are opposed TO the repeal OF the
present bark law.
/ Renived, That we are opposed 10 an
exclusive hard money currency; because
we believe it wholly inpracticuble, as well
as most mischevous in It's consequences
TO the business aud prosperity Of the State.
ResoiUed, That we are not in favor OF
compelling the payment OF taxes, eXclu-
! sivply in gold and silver.

made only by traitors TO the honor OF the
people.
Rcsolved, That we are now MS ever. op-
posed to The establishing of the Suh-Treasu-
rs, let it come in whatever shape itmay;
We are opposed 10 il, because we be-
ileve il to be a scheme inherently imprac
lcalie rs fiscal agent OF the govern
meN;
We sre opposed to it, because it is es-
sentially government Hank; an instiIu-
ton whrh above all RHauciHl creatures,
Is to he the most deprecated, hring alike
hostile 10 the business Interests, aud the
political ileCtics Of the country;

him with the Ircrogative oi desTot
We are opposed to il. lecausp we know
il to he inuins caily auti-comnercal and
ant.rppuhliCa"; antj-Commercial, because
il will establish one currency for the peo-
PIE and another currency for the Office
holder; because, by enatiing a corrupt ad-
ninstraiinn to concentrate and distribute
the putIic funds us it's csrrice or its polni-
ral purposes may suggest, il will so affect
the value Of property, thp tates of eX-
change, and the ordinrry tmnsactiors ol
the trading community, than, under its
fckle and uncertain operations, the bust
rcss and enterprise o! the country canrot,
Iu, materially suffer; and il is anti.rppubl-
car, because It's tendency aud effect will
he 10 make the oflice-holdfrS connected
with the administration. ty placing in their
hands the conuol Of the lutAic funds, a
privileged class Of community.
