Read and Preserve it.

We have frequently referred to the Special
Report of the Auditor Of State upon the
subject of Banks and Bank taxes, made in
reply to resolution of the House of Rep
resentatives. This week we lay the docu-
ment eitire before our readers. Let every
one peruse it and ponder well upon the i'm
portant facts which it discloses. 1t furnish
es the most indubitable evidence of the par
tial character of whig legislation, and when
it is considered that every effort of the
friends of equal rights to tax these money
,nonopolies the same as the private citi.
zens, has met the uniform opposition of the
wings, the people can judge what they may
expect from that party in the future.
Every one should preserve this report
and when again federal bank whig as
serts that the Banks do pay as much take
under the present method of taxing them a
do the people, stick the evidence of the falsi
ty of such assertion from their own office
in his face
And now let US ask, if, in the new Cor
stitution about to be adopted, the peopl
will continue in the hands of the Legisls
ture the power and authority to make thes
distinctions and determinations in favor
wealth? If not, there is but one course
adopt. No man should be trusted in Il
Convention to form a new Constitution, WI
withholds from the people declaration {
his views upon this subject. No man shoul
be taken on trust. The people demand rat
ical reforms, those that shall secure equal
ty of privileges among all the people of IL
State. whether high or low, rich or poo
To secure these rights men should be elec
ed who are not only opposed to conferin
upon the Legislature the power to graz
) special privileges, but who fear not to ope,
ly avow and publish that opposition to Il
world.

SENATE-Alter the reception OF petl-
lions, MIR Fooie rose to present certain
Resolutions Of instruction passed by the
Legislature of Mississippi, OH the subject
of Slavery, and proceeded to address the
Senate in reply TO a series OF articles lately
published in the National lntelligencer, in
which parallel is run between the Hart.
ford Convention and the one proposed to
be held at Nashville. He said those who
attended it would prove themselves lovers
of the Union and patriotic citizens.
The Senate resumed the consideration OF
Mr.. Bradbury's Resolutionsin relation TO
removals from Office by the Administration.
Mr.. Smith defended the Executive from
attacks made on him, in a speech oil some
length.
HousE-In committee of the whole took
up the bill to carry into effect the conven'
ton between the United States and Brazil,
concluded January l849.
1t also provided further appointment Of a
Commissioner and Clerk; who shall adju-
dica,e claims against Brazil. The com
missioner to continue for one year.
MrMcClernand said the bill will explain
itself and on his motion it was laid aside tc
be reported to the House.
The Committee then resumed the con
sderation of the bill TO supply the defcien.
cy of the present fiscal year.
The amendment pending was the appro

: Ore Week More.

But one week more remains before the most
important election that has occurred in Ohio
since she become State, is to take place, and
the result of that election will influence, either
for good evil, the destiny of the State and her
people for, perhaps, a century to come. The peo-
pie have declared, by very large majority, that
they want a revision of the fundamental law of
the State; and there is no mstaking what they
demand. They seek no petty half way reforms.
They ask and demand that the new Constitution
shall be the shield and guardian of their rights;
that it shall preserve and protect the political e.
quality of all its citizens; that it shall lay down
the rule Of legislative action beyond which the
law-making power may not go; that it shall pro-
vide for an economical administration of the gov.
ernment. And whether the people will have the
radical reforms in that instrument which they
desire, remains for themselves to determine al
thepolls one week from this day. There is apow
| erful party that has battled against any and al
reforms for years. and now that the final strug
gle is approaching, they will devote their time
their talents and their wealth to prevent the q
! doption of any that shall be of advantage t.
the people. Should they obtain the ascendencJ
in the Convention, the only satisfaction the pso
pie will have, will be that of having paid fifty ol
sixty thousand dollars from their hard-earnet
substance to no purpose. Let every true FRIEND
ofreform, then, for the few days that remain til
the election, be up and doing. -.r

[Repor! here broke off.
BosToN, March 20,


Yesterday the Court was crowded to ex.
CESS. The Jury was sent to inspect the
scene Of the alleged murder. Alter their
return, the investigation proceeded.
Francis Tuskey, the City Marshal, tes-
tilted to the searches made after Parkman.
the remains were discovered, and Webster
was arrested. A number of Witnesses saw
Parkman enter the College on the after
noon of November %. Coroner Pratt
called on Webster in Jail; had warrant
for Webster, who seemed much .agitated
and troubled when it was shown TO him;
and exclaimed ''Whal will become Of my
poor family?" Mr.. w ebster accompanied
them to the college. Bones and pieces of
metal were found in the furnace of Web.
ster's laboratory. He was much excited
when the discoveries were made. Dr..
Strong, Parkman's physician, testified to
The defects in the remains found, which
corresponded with Parkman's person.
Frederick Ainswor,h, demonstrator Of
Anatomy in the Medical College, testified:
All subjects come through my hands. /
keep record of all anatomical materials.
Ny attention was called to the remains;
was satisfied they were never sent to me
or to the College for dissection. Professor
Webster has no connection with the ana.
tomical department. My impression is,
that the person who cut these remains had
no anatomical knowledge. He might have
seen body cut, but never used the knife.

II The Free Sellers and Wigs of Cuya-
hoga county have united in the nomination of
S. J. Andrews and Reuben Hitchcock as Dele
gates to the Constitutional Convention. This
is an unnatural affliation. The free soilers
have professed to be in favor of radical reforms
in the organic law of the State, and they voted
for Convention for the purpose of effecting
such reforms. That party upon several ocea-
sions have put forth their platform of principles
in direct opposition to the principles and policy
of the whig party. The wings had voted almost
to man against Convention, and were oppos-
ed to any reforms yet this union of opposites this
mingling of contradictions, was brought about
through the influence of the bank monopolists
power that has been insiduously and secretly
striving all over the State to perpetuate forever
the rule ofwrong, inequality, injustice, and op-
preston. There is a strong feeling of resistance
on the part of many of the leading free solers Of
that county, who We're not consulted in reference
to this union, to being sold to the monopoly in.
terest and made the instruments of perpetuating
in Ohio the system of special privileges and class
legislation which has so long cursed the State.

a-1 Last fall the Democrats and Free Soilers
voted universally for Convention to frame a
new Constitution, giving to that measure q ma.
jority in the county of 2l31 votes, while almost
the entire whig vote was counted against it. The
Wings who are opposed to any reforms and Eoted
against any reforms, are now coaxing and teas
ing the Free solers to go with them in the election
of Delegates And for what reason? 1t can
be fer no other purpose than to prevent what they
have so long opposed-the adoption of those re
forms which are demanded by the people What
they could not accomplish by an open opposition
they are now striving to effect by deception and
fraud.

The Reply of MIR. Lyman.

Wepublsh to-day the correspondence between
the Committee appointed by the Democratic
| Convention and MIR. LYMAN, the Whig nominee
for Delegate. The reply ofAIr. l.. falls far short
of coming up to the scratch and answering the
interrogatories propounded to him. He does
not say whether, if elected, he will use his
"efforts to secure the adoption of the measures
embraced in the resolutions, in the Constitution
to be framed, !" the very question which, Of all
others the Committee desired to have answered.
This reply furnishes no evidence that Mr.. L.
can be relied upon to carry out the principles
which the Democracy, together with large por.
ton of the FREQ Soil party desire to have en-.
grated upon the organic law of the State. On
the contrary, he shows repugnance to pledg-
ing himself at ALL and the people are left to infer
what will be his future action from his past life
and principles. He says, (and this is the only
pledge that he makes to the people)
"My life and principles are not unknown to
the people Of this county, and furnish the bes1
Evidence that c0a be gipen on the present occasion
of the course shall pursue"
Now, what have been the life and principle!
of Mr. Lyman-we mean his political life and
principles?-Has he not ever been Whig, anC
nothing but a whig, and whig continually? Ii
is true, he joined the Free Soil party and hal
acted with it from its organization, and SO have
many others who have not bated jot or little o
their regard for the whig principles of State
policy. Nor is there any evidence that Mr.. L
has changed his views in regard to these ques
tons but on the contrary, the fact that he is the
choice of the Wing party,is ample evidence that
he still clings to the principles and doctrines o
that party.
We have no desire to indulge in any extended
remarks in reference to this letter. Let every
one read it for himself and let such as desire
the adoption of the measures of reform embraced
in the resolutions of both the Democratic and
Free Soil Conventions see if they can gather
from it any assurance that, in the election ofMr
Lyman, they will further their success.
