The patronage and reward of industry is ever

this object, superior skill. materials and attention
are required in "a new establishment, that would
compete successfully with those Of long standing
and popularity.
No pains expense has been spared to secure
these advantages Ingenious skillful workmen,
the best material, and the most approved patterns
are employed, and the proprietor designs that the
reputation of his establishment shall be determin-
ed and sustained by the superior quality of his
gins. They will be furnished to purchasers at the
most conven lent points on the river, above or be-
low the raft, upon terms as reasonable and ac
commodating, as can be had at any esta blishment
of the kind in the country. The most careful and
prompt attention will be given TO the repairing Of

We give place. in our columns to-day, to an ar
ticle upon the subject Of Mileage, which was in
tended ior publication in the Eagle. The Author
informs us that it was rejected by tile Editor Of
that paper OH the ground that it was defence OF
DR.. EDWARDS.
Ne may here add that the Committee, to whom
was referred the article in the New York Tribune
upon this question: have reported that no mem
ber has received more Mileage than he was on.
titled to under the law. Had the charges, which
were brought against two Wing members of Con.
gress from this State, been extended to all-or
had the attack been made, as it should have been
upon the law, the authors might have had some
excuse for their extraordinary course.
For the purpose of exposing the Inequality o.

bill to establish a plank road, has nctually
passed tho Senate So lar, so good. We have
but little else to add.
Some time has been spent in discussing par
tial appropriation bill. This bill was reported
by the I.ocofocos and appropriates $40 600 to the
payment of members of the Legislature. Truly,
these same members are an impudent set. Ifa
partial appropriation is at all proper. they are tho
very ones, who should be excluded. The bill
was amended by inserting general appropria-
ton bill and referred to the Committee of the
Whole.
A resolution, calling upon the Auditor TO inform
the House of the advantages Of an Attorney Gen
eral, was adopted. Locoiocoism will get sick Of
that before they are through.
Some resolutions in regard to Slavery in the
Territories passed the House-also one in regard
to postage on newspapers.
We can Gull nothing else Of general interest OF
importance nor can we yet say whether the two
Houses will proceed to business. Judging from
the past we have little to hope for the future.

During the past Campaign, we have necessarily
incurred heavy expenses and our wants are pro-
portionably increased. We have been disaP
pointed in obtaining assistance in the quarter from
which we expected it, and we must necessarily
rely upon those. who owe us for Subscription, Tor
Advertising and Job-wOrk. We have heavy a.
mount upon our books, which we need much
more than those indebted to US. In many cases,
subscribers have not paid US anything since we
took charge of the ofice-others have been for
months and years in our debt for small amounts o
advertising To each individual il may appear q
trifling item and he may suppose that we can gel
along without it; but when he remembers that il
is to such small items rely entirely for support
he certainly will no longer hesitate to pay us. Il
is on account of the smallness Of the claims, tha
we cannot send an agent to collect them. Should
we. however, be compelled to do so, we will b'

GOYernor of Ohio.

After spending week in frutless efforts to cy'
pher out John b. Weller as Governor Of this State
and thousands Of dollars Of the peoples money
the Locofocos of the Legislature have been com
PEELED to admit that tho people have elected SEA
BURY FORD to be their Governor for the next two
years.
The Committee, to whom was referred the re
solution and instructions OF Mr.. Swift. reported
as follows
"Wi,h the corrections above indicated
your committee have ascertained the vote;
polled for Governor in the several coun,
lies of this State as appears from the re
turns produced by the Speaker Of the
Senate, and the abstracts obtained from
the Secretary Of State, to be as follows
For Seabury Ford, 14S;756; For John B
Weller, s,445; Scattering, 742. Ag
gregate vote for Governor, 297.943.
From the foregoing, it appears that Sea
bury FoId has The highest number o
votes cast for that office, and your com
mittee do report accordingly"
The Committee also reported resolution to ap
point n Committee to wait upon the Governo
elect and inquire when he would take the oath O
office and communicate with the General Assem-
bly,. The Report was adopted. and on Mondu
last, SEABURr FoRD delivered his Inaugural Ad
dress and received the oath of office.
Two weeks since, our neighbor of the Eagl
announced to his readers the important iniell
gence' that John D. Weller was Governor of Ohio
His readers, from what we could gather, believe
him. We trust now that they and h"are sntiSf
ed-nnd hope that they received considerabl
qualification in manufacturing paper Governor.
The amusement may be harmless enough
one sense; but when the Taxpayers come to fot
the bill of a weeks useless Legislation, they wi
not consider it in this light.

The II10WyWrT1I Address,

or Governor Ford, will be found in today'S
Gazette. It is some six weeks after the usual
time, but will be read the moro eagerly because it
comes late.
The Governor beautifully md ably treats ofthose
matters of State policy. which he deems it neces'
sary to mention. Elegant in style aud comPre
hensve in terms, the address is good model for
State papers ofthe kind. Itbenp the impress O
a mind well versed in State affairs, and is suffi-
GENTLY brief to obtain reading from all.
fit be true a charged by Locofoco papers,
that his original address was destroyed, in the
Neil House, by fire, it must be admitted by the
same prints that the second draft is we'll drawn
up and e1cellenty put together, though the time,
in which to do this, was short,
Governor Ford is an nble man. For a long time
associated intimately with our State Legislature
aud having devoted large part os his life to tn,
study Of State politics, his opinions upon queston'
concerning Domestic Policy are entitled to re
spect and consideration. Though in some points
many will differ with him. his opinions are hon
estly entertained and his wish is for the prospor
| ty of the State ........

COrrect Returns.

The following election returns, with the accom-.
panying balderdash, we copy from lust weeks
Eagle:
at will be seen by the report of the
committee appointed to examine and foot
up the returns from the several counties.
that Col. Weller is elected Governor by
2S9 votes; but that the Speaker of the
Senate, supported by the whig members.
refused to declare the result in accordance
with law and usage, and in the midst Of
much excitement and confusion declared
the convention dissolved.
This attempt ofthe wings to elect Sea-
bury Ford with an acknowledged MAORI
ty of legal votes against him. and in the
face of the law and Constitution, will ex.
cite but little surprise. Their utter dis
regard to law and usage when they stand
in their way to power, have become 30
frequent. that the people have ceased to
expect anything better from these legis-
lative disorganizers and political plum
derers for spo!ls and power. But every
friend of law and the constitution will ro-
joice to learn that their base attempts
have been foiled by the frmness Of the
democratic MEMBERSHIP them are the

their rights and the honor ofthe State"

We copy the following paragraph from the Ea.
giles Washington Correspondence:
"The report of the judiciary Commit
tee, on the California State bill, was made
to the Senate on Thursday by the Chair
man, Berrien Of Georgia. The report is
adverse, on several grounds, which will
hereafter come up for discussion. The
majority ofthe committee, however, urge
the organization of Territorial Govern
ments for the two territories sought to be
erected in one State. II needed not an
adverse report from committee to kill
the bill. for, as l have before observed
there is magnanimity enough among the
great body Of the democratic and many
Of the whig members to leave this ques-
tion, where it rightly belongs, to Gen.
Taylor's Administration"
This is fair specimen Of LocoCoco policy. AZ
ter having annexed Texas, brought on the War
and purchased California and New Mexico; after
having brought this "bone Of contention" into the
Union and nrrayed North against South on tho
Slavery question, they cooy say that it is the du
~ ola Wing Administration to settle the difficulty.
And this is called "magnanmity!"
tits the magnanimity ofa man, who gets friend
into difficulty, and then meanly skulks away
leaving him to work his way out.
1t is the magnanimity ola robber who takes
the lust penny ofhis victim and leaves him wound.
ed and dying on the highway. ....
1t is the magnanimity or bully, who takes ad.
vantage of bis physical ability and cowardly at
tacks every man weaker thnn himself. ..
Or more analogous. it is the magnanimity Of a
boy, who raises hornets nest about the ears Of
fellow, whom he does not like, and then coolly
leaves him to defend himself:
Or ofthe boy, who forces another to rob peach
orchard, and when caught, leaving his nccompce
to settle the damages.
But magnanimous or not, we have no fears OF
Gen. TaYlor's Administration. It is not the first
time that the Wings have been compelled to res
cue tho Ship Of Stnte from the rocks and shoals,
upon which unskiiul Locofoco pilots have driven
har
