Here was good days work for any
man in the State, no matter how swift
he is with the pen. The majority of the
members knowing, as any sensible mar
would, that the Auditor of State had no
time TO answer the resolution before the lie
gislature adjourned, very promptly voted tc
lay it on the table. And our represen
tative to show his constituents that he wish
ed to do something for them $4 day, mad,
out to offer the above resolution late on Sat
urday evening, when he knew the Legsla
ture would adjourn early on Monday morn
ing. He certainly must have intended fo
the Auditor Of State to work on the SAB
BATH, or else it was his ignorance tina
caused him to offer the above resolution a
the late hour he did on Saturday evening
which every man knows could not be all
swercd in less than twenty four hours w
think it was his ignorance that caused hir
to make such ats-paw of himself, so as t
play into the hands of designing poitica
demagogues, who no doubt wrote out the re
solution, and had him to offerit, they bein
too sharp for any such work If the ma
had taken a second thought We believe h
would never have offered it, for by SO don
he throwed himself liable to be "sessioned,
because.he was disobeying command thu
may be found in Exodus 90: 8, 9, 10, IL.
Yes, reader, yourrepresentative did off:
one resolution during the entire session {
the present Legislature. Was not that re
markable for man like him to do? Ju
think of it. A man is elected to represel
Harrison county in the State Legislature
and after remaining there four months, doin
: nothing but answering to his name when it
: called, just at the close of the session, whe
theyvere ready to adjourn, he gets up ar
says --"Mr. Speaker, offer the following +
solutio4." What an effort. Yes he did,
! four months time, make out to say "NI
Speaker" once. He ought to be promote
We move that he be the whig candidate fl
t Congress in this district next fall, for exc
ting himself so much as to say, 'AIr Spc;
, ker," once, during the entire session of III
) Legislature. This Won lerful effort, and IL
one he made the winter before against tn
+ bill to incorporate the Hillsborough Lodg
OF Free and Accepted MasonS, will certainl
: leave him without an equalin the State.
f wonder that people who visit Columbu
t think that Harrison county must be "some,
when she sends such display of energy, al
tivity and profound cuteness, as may
found in her Representative to The Ohio L'
gislature, MARSHALL MCCALL.
