Correspondence ofthe lancaster Gazette
COLUMBUS, Bee. 8, 1852,
EDITOR OF fHE GAzErrK:-On Saturday
morning. the Senate met for the last times
in the Old Court House and spent the fore.
noon in committee of the whole on that old
stager, the School Bill. Before coming 10 d
final conclusion, the committee arose and
reported the bill back and Il was laid on the.
table TO be printed with the amendments
The Senate then adjourned over until this
morning, TO give the Sergeant-at-arms time
for the removal of the senatorial traps To- the
new hall. Accordingly they met this morn.
ing In their new and somewhat highly orna-
mented quarters and went to work in a much
better humor than has been d~iscernible on
the senatorial brow for some time past.
A resolution offered by Mr.. Ferguson to-
instruct the committee on schools and school,
lands Ito whom after being taken from the
table the School Bill was referred) to amend
by providing that the revenue raised under
the act for school purposes shall be collected
and considered as State taxes, and paid &C.
cordingly into the State Treasury and
thence distributed among the several coun-
ties in such proportions rs they may be sew.
orally entitled to receive, excited a spirited
dHu icuBlHy utOuIt anu was Ut last agreed TO.
This afternoon the Senate has been in COM
milee Of the whole on the bill to amend the
tax law (repealing the exemption clause)
introduced by Mr.. Johnston, and the day
was consumed in the discussion OF al onstitu-
tional principle as to whether theLegislature
is bound TO %recite, in an act to repeal, the
clause proposed to be repealed. The con-
struction of the 10th section OF the second
! article IF tho Constitution u,aa tho diupnfo4
point and before finishing the debate the
committee arose.
Mr.. Ward, Of Warren, has introduced n
bill into the House of Representatives 10
abolish the death penalty, and there 10. a
very vigorous sentiment in favor OFF its pas
sage: but il will be strongly contested and it
Is difficult to say what will be it's end. A
resolution was adopted in the House on Sat-
urday evening, nbsolving Mr.. J. w. Gray
from his printing contract, and the officers
of State are authorized to relet o. to accept
the proposition Of the next lowest bidder,
A bill has been under discussion in the
House to-day, to better secure the privileges
Of haJeds corpaS to the citizens of this State.
1t is intended for %nullifier to the Fugitive
Slave Law, but will hardly be able to go
through.
House resolution 10 cancel the bid Of ],
w. Gray has Just been read in the Senate
and was referred to the committee on print
ing. IL will be adopted Of course. The
, proceedings ofthe Legislature in relation to-
this contract of Gray's, meet with the uni
VeTsal condemnation Of all reasonable men
who are acquainted with the particulars Of
the transaction, and il was even bitterly OPP
posed bya teC Of the more candid and i'm
martha Locofocos IN the House those who
expest nothing from the o. favor overnor
Woods net, the Cleveland Plain Deakr.--
But the ipr.,at mass Of the majority put it
through With Z rush and thus the State is
again swindled ons Of it is impossible TO say
how much by partLran tavOrftIs0 UPon
the subject of State prictiSg. In al 'be
purposes for which the people desiTeo new
constitution, it seems that it is az .'as' O
gross and complete failure. ENcoTHNEs.

Honor AND PROFIT OF INDUsTRY.-The
honorable position of the ~laboring occupt-
tons of man is a striking feature of our age.
Perhaps at no former period was this so emil
nently the case. And it is an encouraging
feature of the age,-one full of hope.
The world has been too long governed by
a false notion Of ariStocracy in reference to
labor, ldleness, effeminacy, and luxury,
have met with too many silly devotees.-
Now they are laughed at and despised.--
One can suffer M greater reproach than to
have it said VI him that he does nothing
r He once tn kes ranks with Questionable gam
f blers,' sometimes termed gentlemen n" OF lei
sure"
t These ef1emiDate gentlemen, who are
sometimes want to boast of their ancestry,
Iorget-probably they never knew--thut
the greatest of men have been trained up
to "work with their hands" God ordained
that man should live by labor. 1t is a law
of our being mental as well as physical, and
there is no developement without labor
Activity, Health, strength and intelligence,
can live only in a being of an active life.
Our greatest men in all ages have been
active porking men. Burns was a plow-
boy; Ben. JoDson was u bricklayer; Frank
lin was a printer; Rogsr'Sherman was a
j shoemaker; and Washington wasHaifarmer
We might multiply a bright host Of INT
e illustrative OF this fact.
5 Our age is an age of action, and none can
S claim exemption from some active pursuit.
: And we are rejoiced that it is 80. 1t will,
: in the end, Danish all false distinctions in So
ciety;and nothing will give greater strength
: to our national character than this healthy

! EDITORIAL CERTIFICATES. If subscribers
to journals, like church members, in "stop-
ping their paper" were required to produce
an editorial certificate before they could sub
scribe for another, there would be some Gu
! rious developments; as, for example: We
; certify that A. A. stopped his paper because
: the editor refused to allow him six columns
D for a personal vindication, which concerned
nobody but himself. We certify that c. D.
refuses the paper because the editor did not
publish the obituary notice of a relative
which was never sent to him, but which he
ought to have detected in some of his ex-
, change papers. We certify that E. F.. wish
ea to transfer his patronage to another pa
/ per, because, having taken this paper six
years without paying a cent, he felt himself
insulted by having a bill sent to him by way
: of reminder. We certify that G.. H. in his
opinion, is poet of the first water; hut the
editor unfortunately, differing from him in
|, that opinion, is regarded by him as wholly
unqualified for his Office. We certify that
+ l. j. has stopped his paper, because the ed
itor had the temerity to express an opinion
, on a certain matter without having. pFevi.
. ously ascertained the opinion of this -partic-
/, ular subscriber. --ivS,A York Presbyterian..
