Ohio LEGISLATURE.

On Monday next, the second Legislature unde
the new Constitution, will meet at the Capital
The entire change in our Judicial system, and th'
innovation upon the old organization of the State
by the new Constitution, has left much labor to b.
performed by the General Assembly. Much has
been done, and yet great deal remains unfnish
ed-and while we would recommend reasonable
dispatch in disposing of the necessary business
we are opposed to any hasty legislation, tina
would only cucumber our statutes without othel
result than the cost of repeating it at subse
quent session.
The first and most important item for the con.
sideration of the Legislature, is to devise some
process for the speedy collection of bank taxes
The people of the State complain of oppressive
taxes, which is brought about by the refusal oi
against them. We would hope to see, therefore
summary process of collection ordered.
Another important item, is change in the pre-
sent law regulating the property of marrid wo-
men. In all cases where property is acquired by
the husband, in right of his wife, and the husband
die without issue by that wife, let the property 60
to the wife instead of the heirs of the husband.
Our present law on this subject, is entirely too
much tinctured with the venerable fogyism of the
baron and feme of the old law writers, and poorly
adapted to the progressive spirit of the present
age.
We will have occasion to refer to this subject
again, and shall leave it for the present. The
women of Ohio, have already to thank the De-
mocracy for Homestead law, and law that Sc
cures to her, her property from sale on execution
for the husbands debts. Let Democratic Le-
gislature go further, and secure to her her proper
ty as aboye..required,an the hobby of "Women's
rights, will give bu little comfort to the Fusion
lists of 1854.

Santa Anna.

The different States of Mexico are sending in
their acquiescence and adherence to Santa Anna
as dictator, and all events indicate that the title
of Emperor will soon be assumed. Thus, mon
archy is to be again installed on the North Amer
ican continent. A defensive alliance with Spain
is strongly recommended by some of the newspa-
pers of the city of Mexico
The invasion of Lower California is represent
ed as mere preliminary step towards the invasion
of Sonora by large force, to assist in the reyolu-
ton there. Should this prove true, the fllibuster
ing expedition may prove a more important and
successful event than at first supposed. Sonora,
the land of gold, as its name implies, is one Of the
richest States of Northern Mexico; and by the aid
of Yankees and California desperadoes may eas-
ly establish and maintain independence. AS an
Independent State, acknowledged as such, It
might offer annexation as Texas did, and doubt
less would be received into our confederacy. 1t
is process we'll understood at the present day,
if continued will soon bring the northern States
of Mexico in the Union. IF Mexico is to become
monarchy. the faster the process goes on the
better. Doubtless as monarchy it will be coun-
tenanced, and probably assisted and protected by
some of the European governments.-Patts. Post

Children Frozen at Erie.

F Two or three days ago little child was frozen
in its hands and feetwhle being carried round the
ssbreak,'' at Erie. .:.,
A passenger by the train last night informs us
that an infant was also frozen in its hands and
feet under similar circumstances, yesterday.
The distance which has to be travlled by ON
nibuses is six miles. There is no station at Har-
Dor Creek, where the passengers are obliged to
debark from the cars. They are not only expos
ed to the cold air while shifting their baggage,
but the whole ride to Erie is one of the chillest
and bleakest imaginable, being exposed to con-
stapt cold wind from the Lake. 1t is a wonder
that all the children and half the adults are not
frozen to death! .s.eslay1 sst III as, 81

For the Portage Sentine
Astronomical.

Not thousand miles from the Metropolis of
Portage county, there appeared few years ago,
new Star, which unlike all other stars, emitted
rays of pure corruption, and darkness unaloyed.
Her Solar Orb, was neither circular, elliptic, or
straight ahead. 1t was of zigzag eccentrcity-
Her form was serpentine. She was embellished
with legions of Hydra heads, rams horns, and
forked tongues. She indiscreetly attempted to
sport in the very verge of day. By. many vain,
and idle effort of legerdemain, she sought to OBJ
tain permanent standing in the bright Galaxy
of American Luminaries. She was however,
wisely rejected, and spurned out of their society,
on account of the positive incongeniality of her
disgusting aspect Hence we now behold her,
Pickering in the last mournful struggles of NOR
tality; still fond of life, she made one more des-
perate effort for recovery, on which was grated
all her hopes of health, vlgor, and future great
ness. The plan of this last decisive resort, con-
cocted in the profoundest depths of her phrensied
Imagination, was, to contaminate with her be-
witching enchantments the whole sisterhood of
Planets, with all their respective Satellites, throw
around them such impenetrable shades of midnight
darkness, as to compel them to loose their regu-
lar course in the heavens, and wander about at
random, as she herself had always done, thus met
amorphose the whole glittering fraternity of stars
which adorn the political horizon, thereby rendu-
cling them, to that state of chaotic lsSion,'' by
which they were characterized before God said,
{" Let there be light This done, her exultation
was without conceivable bounds for, said she,
&c In this liquid state slip into the company
without being recognized. By such means may
yet become the brightest star in the constellation,
especially to all those who have no eyes to distn-
guish between light and darkness. shall more
over be particularly admired by that multudnous
group who Glove darkness rather than light,' for
scriptural reasons" Thus soliloquized our anom-
alistic Star. At this auspicious moment the
mighty bubble burst. The beautiful Venus, in
the majesty of her political orb, discovered the
mischievous plot, and hurled it to oblivion. The
work was done The destiny of our benighted
Star was sealed She sat in irrevokable dismay,
to rise no more forever! O.! horrible to relate |!
In the convulsive agonies of an gnominious death,
with one tremendous groan that heaved the foun-
dations of the mighty deep, she yielded up the
ghost. Alas, poor Star although your loss can
not be regretted, it is to be hoped that poet
may be found, worthy to write your eptaph.
G. TOD, Astronomer.

For the Portage Sentinel
Friends of Progression, Look Here

On the first day of the long looked for 1854
will be opened wide the door of Moral and In
tellectual freedom; for on that day, at the Uiver

held the first great gathering of the friends of
Spiritual Philosophy for the county of Portage
All that wish to take at least one step in the road
to progression are invited to come, and see and
hear for themselves; and while witnessing some
of the phenomena of spiritual intercourse learn
the great truth that Heaven is pened to Man, and
'he spirit telegraph is established between US and
the spirits home.
Many of the best speaking mediums of North
ern Ohio will be present.
Come friends, brothers,
Come skeptic, and all others,
And when you've heard if doubt remain,
Then be wise and come again.

THAT FREE Soil DANCE AT BR1MFIELD-It is
said that the Free Church is disposed to enquire
into the facts in relation to Mr. Halls attempt to
"cut the pigeon wing" at the niger ball at Brm-
field few nights since. Hall say that he never
would have got the thing up, but the white folks
had sighted him. and he was determined to have
revenge. HALLS right. If respectable people
don't choose to invite him to their Jublees, shall
it be said that he's not to have the privilege
of ssgoing it's with the cul'd folks! Maintain
your dignity Mr.. Hall, remember your Elder.

o. Indignation meetings against the Erians
are getting to be the order of the day. very
large one was held at Buffalo on the 22d inst, at
which resolutions were adopted approving of the
course of the Railroad Companies and censuring
that of the Erians. A like meeting was held in
Cleveland on Saturday evening. In the mean
time the authorities and people Of Erie are resist
ing every attempt of the Railroad Companies to
close up the gap in this great thoroughfare be-
tween the West and the East, ,fsettinaat defiance
the injunction of the Federal Court, trying and
implisoning the men employed in putting down
the track, which they were enjoined not to do,
and insulting and assaulting the U. S. Marshal.
The telegraph announces that the Supreme Court
of Pennsylvania have granted an injunction, on
application of the Franklin Canal Co., to restrain
the authorities of Erie from tearing up the track
of that company's road, but Erie has adopted the
''higher law doctrines and proclaimed the de-
cision of her petty justices above the national ju-
dietary, as she seems to suppose her interest is
above every other interest," and in all probability
she will pay little attention to this injunction.

dividing Ohio into two Judicial districts. Mr..
Seward, bill to help the State of New York
build the Niagara ship canal. Mr. Fish offered
resolution for the appointment of special com
mittee of inquiry into the causes of mortality on
board emigrant vessels from European ports
In the House, a Homestead bill has been introdu-
ced which we copy in another column. Gerrtt
Smith presented petition from the New York
Temperance Alliance, asking. Congress to take
action in the suppressing of intoxicating drinks
In the District of Columbia. Mr.. Bissell has
been appointed Chairman of the Committee on
military affairs, instead of Col Benton, declined.
Three different resolutions in favor of the con-
struction of railrood to the Pacific by the Gov
ernment, have been laid on the table. There is
no probability, that it will receive any encourage
ment from Congress as government work A
bill to establish Agricultural Bureau, has been
ilfnodnced, and referred to the Committee on Ag-
ricnlture. A resolution has been offered pre-
senting sword and vote of thanks, to Capt. In
graham for his conduct at Smyrna. In the Sen

line of telegraph from the Atlantic to the Paci-
&c. MIR. Gwin reported in favor of building six
> first class steam ships. MIR. Foote introduced a
bill giving land to the INDECENT insane. Gerrtt
Smith opposed the resolution granting a sword

this government was more oppressive than Prus-
,Dia--he was supported by Joshua r. Giddings.

have always been petted by Wing law-makers un-
til they have grown to be power defying the
power of the State. The new Constitution was
opposed by these Whig leaders because it provi-
ded that bankers should pay taxes private prop
erty is taxed. The last Legislature was anathe-
matized because it passed law giving force to
constitutional requirements on this subject. And,
in this season of calm reflection and absence of
political excitement, we ask the people to study
over what benefits these banks have been to them.
Where is the honest poor man that could ever
get accommodations at bank counters? Where
is that home currency, at all times redeemable in
gold and silver, SO plausib!y promised! That
"home currency is composed of the trash of
other States, from Maine to Louisiana, from the
southeast to the farthest northwest. And of
this currency we know nothing only as banks
burst and their bill become worthless Many of
you, no doubt, have bills on hand of the Massilon
Bank, worth-wbat! And how many hundreds
of thousands, yea, millious of dollars of broken
bank paper now in possession of the hard work.
ing people!
And this banking system is still favored by
Wing leaders rs-why! Because it tends to build
up moneyed aristocracy, such favorite of
those men, 1t has tendency to concentrate po-
litical power in the hands of the capitalists, and
thus give that party that power which the people
everywhere deny them. sh' a.

Tariff Changes.

In the year 1842, Great Britain began the freq.
trade policy which she hns ever since slow 6at
steadily followed. In the same year the United
States took retrogade step, under Whig policy
In l846 the United States returned to wise and
liberal policy; further restrictions were removed
in England, and most of the European countries
took steps tending toward freedom of CONNER
cial intercourse. From 1916 to 1853, the follow
ing countries made alterations in their tarifs, az
regarded British and Colonial produce and manu-.
features, viz; Russia, Sweden, Denmark the
ZollVeren, Holland, Belgium, France, Portugal,
Spain, Sardinia, Switzerland, Austria, Turkey.
and Mexico. The reductions made by Russia and
Spain are little better than nominal the saltera
tions being from one absurd rate of duty to anoth
er equally absurd in effect. In Russia and Spain
the protective policy has always been thoroughly
carried out. The former country remains poor
and unproductve, and the mass of the people live
upon the worst possible food; the latter onoe the
richest country on the globe, has been impovsr,
ished to the last degree under the restrictive svs-
tenn.
Turkey, Sweden, Sardinia, Holland France.
Denmark, and Norway, have reduced the rates of
import duties, some of them as much as 40 Ter
cent. Portugal, the Zollverein, and Belgium. in
their alterations, hcve increased the rate of fiscal
duties. The policy of the governments of the
United States, Great Britain, and France! tends
slowly but surely towards free trade The in
telligent popular feeling of the United States and
Of Great Britain, also demands the removal of the
on trade and commerce. - Ohio Safes
