they desire associations for various purposes
I then this liability must be restricted. No man
would take one hundred dollars of stock in any
corporation in Ohio, as a gift, Il this personal
individual liability was attsehed to it We

must be transferable, and the holders cannot

for the benefit, but not everything.
Mr.. Icelneln replied to the attacks" Of
Messrs. Archbold, Dorsey, and others He
ldisclaimed all design to intimidate. 1t was
the people that deulunded these things, and
not him. He reminded Archbold of his short
comngs in the ways of democracy heretofore
He accused him of voting for the bank Of
Wooster, &c He spoke in very good tenn
per- and very well.
This morning the President laid before the
convention an invitation from the mayor and
council of Mt Vernon to rdiourn to that place,
iif they left Columbus; rendering a hall free
Iof expense, and the bospitalities of the city
generally.
Mr.. Manon wanted to know if the people up
there were in favor Of capital punishment, as
he had been accused of treason in not going
the whole length about corporations, and he
might standi in need of clemency.
After going into committee, Col Hawkins
said be had been lectured for. some remarks
made short time since. He would ask gen
tlemen to be sure and represent him truly
Wait till the voting time comes. Then he
should make his mark and il he did not do his
duty lecture him if they saw fit. He was de-
sirous. of having a constitution that should bear
the impress Of statesmen, and not that Of mere
partizans. -
Mr. Quigley spoke in favor of unrestricted
liability His voice is weak and he was not
distinctly heard BY the convention. We pre-
sumo he converted nobody, though he of
course got into the book.
Mr.. Clark Of Lorain, made n regular, tear
ing, radical, banking and humbug speech. 1t
was really distressing to see how he loved the
dear people! He attempted to be particular
ly severe upon DR.. Dorsey and others, because
they saw fit to differ with some Of the ultra
radicals on this SUBJECT.
Mr. Manon defended himself in the most
original and attractive speech of the session.
Manon is tolerably sharp, and never says any
thing except when he has something to say
He is not learned, but has good sense and
knows when to stop. He said there was one
kind of personal responsibility he went in for
He was personally responsible for what he said,
and lie intended to hold others to the same.
He said if 5000 copies of Reemelin's speech
were scattered through Licking county, and
the people could be made to believe that it
contained the doctrines ofdemocracy, the DEM
ocrats would all desert in body. They
would be scarce as hens teeth there. He
threw rocks tolerably rapid for about FIVE min
utes, and closed 1t was a happy effort
Mr. Smith of Wyandot next spoke. He is
a young man, and very Pleasant, fair speak
er. He took similar ground to Judge Shaw;
was opposed to the unconditional doctrine. He
declared himself opposed to all banks.
Col Chambers hoped the majority would
go ahead and finish the constitution; too much
time was wasted.
Mr.. Case of Licking was opposed to the un-
conditional rule, and was willing to let the leg
stature, by two thirds vote, fix the degree
He thought that the unrestricted
liability would not do for all corporations.
DR. Henderson argued the question as one
IF morals He went for The unrestrained la
Dility, because it was right as to individuals
ergo. it was right everywhere. This, if we un-
lerstood him, was the logic of the argument
DR.. Dorsey asked leave to explain and
-eply to the attacks made upon him. Leave
was granted, and he proceeded to give the
gentleman from Lorain (dr Clark one of the
most severe and genteel drubbings that any
nan has got during the session. This being
family quarrel, entirely among the democ-
-acy, we have about the same complacent
ceiling that the old lady had, when her hus-
oand and the bear fought: but we think DR..
Dorsey was most unjustly assailed; we think
1e defended himself and his democracy sue
;essfully, we further think that his closing re-
marks upon Mr. Clark were as severe as they
we're deserved, and had in them that grand
Ingredient Of all excellence in this line ofspeak-
and truth.
The convention took recess.
