Let man propose a deep and radical re-
form,-a reform, which will strike at once to
the very root of an existing evil,-and he
will be feared and denounced; while he who,
perhaps, for some selfish end, proposes only
TO lop off some old branches, to be succeeded
by new ones twice as baneful, will be hailed
as a patriot, and rewarded with popular sup
port. For example, take the Banking sys-
tenn. The people admitted that the old one
was worthless and unsafe, and denounced it
as g full fcorruption and dead mems bones;''
yet they submit to have new one passed,
constructed upon the same Identical plan,
and conducted upon the same principles
Another great cause of the inequality of con
diton is, that we have too much Legislation;
that the conneXion between the govern
ment and the interest of individuals is too
close ;-and the fault of the people is, that
they rely too much upon government. The
people have the power to correct all abuses,
and they must do it in and of themselves, and
not rely upon the government TO do it,

OUR CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR.

We place the name Of DAVID TOD at tn Q
head of our dolumns as our candidate for Govern
or, with much qualification. When we presented
to our readers the name Of Hon. VIM. II. Bald.
win, as proper selection for that position, we
stated our willingness to give our most
cordial support to David Tod, provided he
would declare the views upon the currency which
we were assured he entertained, and which
we desired should be made the issue. This, we
learn, he has done, and with pride we give our
flag to the winds, secure that with good cause.
right principles, and treless effort, victory will
be ours. Union, harmony, and conciliation will
nerve US in the struggle. Our noble State must
be redeemed from the upas influence that is now
ssffening her energies into servility, disgrace,
and ruin.
We give the first part of the proceedings of the
Convention, which is all that is como to hand. II
is probable that the true Democracy have dictated
the terms of the contest, and that the sofsn are
among the things that were.

THE STATE LEGISLATURE.

WEDNESDAY, DEC. 31.-In the House, the Bill
supplementary to the Act to incorporate the State
Bank of Ohio and branches, was up for third
reading.
Mr.. Olds proposed rider, that no banks should
be established against the wishes of majority
of legal voters of the county in which establish
ed.
Mr.. Reemelin proposed rider making the issue
by any bank notes for circulation penitentiu-
ry offence.
Mr.. Olds considered banks to have hitherto
been injurious to society. The Wing party would
in time occupy his present position, but before
that time arrived he expected to be opposed to all
banks of issue.
We may hore remark that we have been dis
appointed in Mr.. Odds course. From no man did
we expect SO little; he has, nevertheless, done
much We do not approve of his present
views, but his progress is commendable.
The whig gag of the previous question was
with tho usual courtesy, presented and sustained
The Bill was declared carried on a vote of 81
to II, by the Speaker, though the consttutio ma
quorum was not present voting.
FRIDAY, JAN. 2. 1846.-In the House, Mr.. Oldt
moved the correction of the journal in reference
the final vote on the supplementary Bank Bill, up
on which spirited debate was had. The Speak
or was forced to acknowledge his error, and the
dilemma of the reckless majority was indeed pit
liable.

and practice, when an opportunity is given for its
observance, must ever bring them into contempt
with an intelligent people.
We anticipate that the lab6rs Of the DEM

such, that union and harmony will again give

to give harpy brood OF spectators the control of

The editor of the Lancaster Ohio J Eagle,

The editor of the Lancaster (Ohio) Eagle
in writing home from Columbus, says:-
I" In both branches of the Legislature, the
wings have their picked politicians, but a
more unscrupulohs, or more corrupt COM
bination Of federalsts never disgraced the
Legislature of any state, as their deeds will
show. There is a larger number of the We
ry best kind of democrats in this Legisla-
ture, than has been here for years; and
among them, several gentlemen, chiefly
young men, of the highest order of talents.
The youngest democratic member in the
House, Mr.. Vallandnghau,, made his debut
to-day, an resolution TO print documents.
1t was a brilliant effort, and produced an
electric effect upon the House. He is a
splendid young man"
The Columbus correspondent Of the Plain
Dealer, writes thus:-
"There has been quite an important de-
bate i'll the Senate to-day, upon resolution
offered few days since by the chairman OF
the Committee ON Finance, in reference 10
a system of taxation. The design of the
majority appears to be to exempt Bank capi-
tai from the operations of the law. This
manifestly unjust system was ably exposed
by the democratic members, Mr.. Edgerton, a
young member from the northwestern part
of the state, particularly distinguishing him
self in opposition to the policy of the maio-
rity. The wings appear to be very sensitive
upon the question of taxing the Banks, and
from the debates in the Legislature one
would conclude that the interests of the
whig party and that of the banks were in
separable."

THE OREcoN--WAR.-This matter't will be seen
by the resolutions in to-day IS paper, again came
mp before the u S. Senate on the resolutions of
Mr.. Hannegan. The debate indicates that after
all that has been written and said about our rights,
England is likely to get the on's share, to secure
despicabe and dishonorablc peace. 1t is prob
able that Mr. Calhoun is about to form another
coalition with interests hostile to Democracy, to
accomplish this object, with a view Of upholding
the southern cotton interests, and restraining the
rising power of the west, and that he may be
supported by sufficient number of recreant dem
ocratlc senators to place the valuable harbors and
future wealth of Oregon in the hands of England.
Upon this selfish and narrow policy so unworthy a
great statesman, Mr.. Hannegan has fully com.
mented. 1t is q necessity, which diplomatic dc.
eeption and trckery cannot avert, that the free
principles of the government of our Republic
must be extended over this northern CONTINENT
federalism or treachery may retard but cannot a.
vert it. In the House Of Representatives better
spirit is manifest A debate sprung up in which
John @. Adams and C.J. Ingersol, the Chairman
on Foreign Relations, participated. Both went fol

NEW COUNTY OF AUGLAIzE.

We present to our readers the able and convin.
cling Memorial of our citizens, against the cree.
tion of the New County Of Auglaize. 1t is do.
cument calculated, we believe, to have influence
with the honest and thinking men in our Legs-
lature. 1t is a matter in which the great mass Of
our citizens of both parties have but one opinion
and that is, that the erection of the proposed new
county would be an act of most unmtigated in
justice and oppression. We learn with regret
that the committee on new counties in the House
of Representatives intend reporting Bill dis
severing Putnam county, and erecting Auglaize
into county, yet VIC have no idea thatt will pass
either branch of the Legislature. We have nc
great confidence in Whig justce-but this mat
ter happens to be free from politics, and we can.
not believe that where there cannot by any possi-
bilily be political or general advantage, that a
wanton injury will be inflicted upon thor own
friends as well us ours. 1t would be most unpo-
pular act; but we would rather that justice and
fairness should guide the legislation on this
subject, than that we should reap any political
advantages from an erroneous course. We un.
derstand that efforts have been made to spread
the opinion at Columbus, that by the change AL
len county would become Wing. This is too alb
surd to be stated where the facts are known-and
the farce is that The lie comes from a democrat
favorable to this scheme. The he comes from
one who has no capacity but for mischief, and is
worthy of the pitiful source from which it ema.
mated. We do not, however, anticipate that it
will have any other effect than to prove that a
man may be consiitutionally fool and yet have
a strong disposition to act the knave.
