II would seem that. D. T. Disney, Of the
Hamilton District, has thrown bis weight in
the scales IN opposition Q he interests Of bis
State. Afer the passage through The Senate,
Of the blu granting TO the State Of Ohio all Of
the unapprOpriAted lands belonging 10 the Gen.
eral Government, within the limits Of this State,
Mr.. Disney arose in bis place, and proposed
TO amend by striking out all after the enacting
clause and insert in its stead the cOn6rmat ion
Of the canal lands selected by the state twenty
Eve or thirty years ago. There were at least
soo, 900 acres Of lands in Ohio siill unsppro-
priated. And the bill would have passed the
House as It did the Senate. but for the very pa
triotic services Of Mr., Disney. The State oI
Ohio would have gained million Of dollars Il
it had paid Mr. Disney bis full salary and kept
him at home.
WhatingloriOus services Mr. Disney ha.
rendered his constituents, in bis manly and
statesman-l like conduct. Verify. his doom is
now sealed, ratified a nd confirmed. j is tru'

ken up.
The debate on the Civil and Diplomatic bill
was resumed at the commencement of the eEe-
ming Session, and continued ill late hour.
The discussion embraced the topics of Free
trade, slavery, and KnoW.Nothingism.
Mr.. Brodhead--I am opposed TO this incor-
porating of the tariff, in view Of coming events,
and the peculiar character Of the next House
of Representatives. The Senators from Virgil
MIA says the plethora of the pablo Treasury
demands this measure. The Texas Creditors
bill, Just signed, will soon reduce the plethora,
l hope we will 60 on and pass the Appropria-
ton bill, erasing that Incorporated interference
with the industrial interests of the country, and
depart from here in peace.
Messrs Pierce and Bayard thought il would
be better to defeat the Appropriation bill than
to pass It in its present from.
Mr.. Benjamin objected to the bill, assigning
that in making scale for the reduction. an
undue advantage had been given to manpfac-
lures:
Mr.. Hunter said that as the measure was
carried by votes in the House from sections Of
the country, the tariff modification, though not
perfect, was as good as could be desired.
Mr.. James remarked to Mr., Hunter. that
many members Of the House voted foT the bill,
with the understanding that it would not be a.
mended by the Senate.
HoUsE.-An act was passed amendatory to
the act carrying into effect the Reciprocity
Treaty.
The House went INTO committee Of the whole
