Free Banking.

The Senate of Ohio have had General
Banking Law under discussion for several
days, and much confidence has been ex-
pressed tha it would pass. But the follow
ing from the proceedings of the 2lst, seems
to indicate a different result:
In committee of the whole the question
being on filling the blank in the bill as to
the amount of capital on which bank
could be started. s 5.s. t.a...
Mr.. Brcadwell moved $25, 900. 81.
Mr.. Pardee moved $500.
Mr.. Linton moved 100000.
Mr.. Myers preferred $4,000.
After some discussion, in which Messrs.
Linton, Randall, Howard and Myers par
ticipated, the question was taken on filling
the blank with 100000, and was lost;
and the same was the result on each of the
several other propos:s'~y'a ''

FIn consequence OF the refusa, Of the
Wings at Columbus TO join hands with
Free Soiers in the election Of certain State
officers, the Correspondent Of the True
Democrat and Junior Editor, pronouuces
the doom ofthe Wing party thus:-Plain
Dealer.
NEIL HOUSE, Columbus, Jan. 90.
Both parties have held Caucuses this
evening.
The following ore the Wing nemina-
tions:
For State Apditor, D. H. Lyman, Of
GAINESVILLE, brother of Joseph Lyman
ESQ.,, Of Cleveland; Fund Commissioner,
V. B. Horton, Of Meigs Co., ut present a
member the Constitutional Convention.
Director ofthe Ohio Pententiary, Char
les Eaton, the present Representative from
this county. ,a.as szs.
Reporter for Court in Bank, William
Lawrence, Senator from Logan. Judge
of the 9th Circuit, Judge Pearce, of New
Lisbon. Ofthe 9th, A. G. Brown,
The Democrats nominated for State
Auditor, Asa Dimmock of Millersburgh.-
Judge of the 9th Circuit, John E. Haund,
of M'Connellsville. These are the only
nominations made. ft. -e
E. NJ Sill, the present able, and eff
cient Fund Commissioner was candidate
for re nomination but his Free Soil notions
laid him on the shelf. Wings were assuf-
ed that if Mr.. Sill was nominated, the Free
Soiers would elect him.
Auditor Woods, too,en Of the most able
working Auditors OHIO ever had, would
have accepted a nomination, but his known
anti.slavery sentiments which he utters
with boldness on all proper occasions, un.
fitted him for the support of the friends Of
the Administration.
The Wing party Of Ohio is gone, beyond
by the reckless course Of the
pro-slavery men who are in it, together
with the ''masterly inactivity" course Of
the anti-slavery Wings who succomb to
them. -Hs- -...
The only thing that they have done that
looks like opposition to the Fugitive Law,
is the nominations of Hiram Griswold for
Senator His nomination is triumph OF
he anti.slavery portion of the Whig party.

of a soldier who has rendered the service re-
quired by the Ac, of September 28th. 1850,

repeal bill will not pass-the Homestead
Exemption law will be repealed-no modi-
fcation of the Tax law will be likely to
take place this session, unless change
speedily comes over the spirit of the corpo-
rationists. Wouldn't it be well for the
people to give over the business of legislat-
ton into the hands of corporations and cap
italists, that they might do their own legis-
lating without expense 10 the people?

She burst into a flood Of tears and exhibited
all the emotions of grief which sister
would naturally do on such an OCCASION
| In moment she ceased sobbing, her
head fell upon her bosom, and the Dr., her
magneiizer. informed US that her spirit had
left her body and gone with that of her

she not know it. 1t wns some five min

respiration, showing that the lungs had

Post Master at GarrettsviIle, informing us
that there is much complaint among our
subscribers there because they do not re-
ceive the Sentinel on the day of its publica-

here to the Sentinel say they will all turn
Wigs if they can't receive the Sentinel

Much of the time Of the General Assem-
bly, is taken up in considering bills TO au-
thorize cities, towns, and counties to sub
scribe to the capital stock Of rail roads,
plank roads, &C., and millions of dollars
will probably be authorized TO be thus SUBJ
scribed to these works the present winter.
These Improvements are becoming SO. nu-
merous in this State, that ere many years
they will cease to be profitable investments
or to declare dividends sufficient to pay
the interest and principal incurred in con-
sequence Of the subscription, and the cities,
towns and counties will eventually find
themselves born down by heavy debts; and
then (unless the new Constitution shall pro-
vide against it,) the strife in the counties
and in the Legislature will be to compel
the State 10 assume these debts, and thus,
in the end may the State be overwhelmed
with another enormous debt even greater
than that with which it is now burdened.
This matter is now but bare speck in the
distance, but it is increasing in magnitude
at each succeeding session of the General
Assembly. At first view it seems like a
matter of mere local interest, but it may
become one of general importance.
