And about midnight, behold a cry

dressed. made their appearance will
curiOusly shaped broad-a1es in theil
hands, ordering the people out of theil
way, and talking as though they had
authority. They brought TO my mind
very wildly, the picture of the burn
ing of John Rogers. that | have seen in
some old fashioned books. But TO be
brief, there was a great deal of ceremo-
ny, a great deal nonsense, a great deal
of f%iummery, and a great deal of hum
buggery, in my estimation, about the
whole affair.
l claim to have a high regard for the
memory of DR.. Kane, but l have no re-
gard for seneseless, useless, form and
ceremony. and this l think was exces-
siyely displayed oa this occasion.
The bill to authorize the construction
of a new Deaf and Dumb Asylum was
virtually killed in the House on Friday
last, by striking out the appropriating
clause. Itmay be revived yet but there
is a bare possibility of it. do not think
it can pass in its present shape.
The bill making appropriations for a
Geological Survey of The State. has been
resuscita;ed, and its friends are leaving
no "stcne unturned," to insure its pass
age. They have reduced The pay of The
corps of biologists. which goes a great
ways towards conciliating the appOsi-
ton to the bill, but its fate is very doubt
ful yet.
The bill for the protection OF birds
and other game. failed on its passage
yesterday. not having a constitutional
msjority. Many HAY, perhaps. be ready
to say, "ihat is little business for a leg
isIature, to protect BIRDS" but, before
making that asser ton, l wish the farmer
to look seriously at the matter, and |
think he will come TO the conclusion,
that if the law does not assist him, he
will take the responsibility 10 protect
them himself, from the murderous crime
Of the village juveniles, who for mere
sport are won't to destroy so much of
beauty and real worth. But l need o
argue this, for it must be apparent to
every one.
The bill that passed the House last
week refusing the use of jails to cCn6ne
fugitives from labor in, will, l think. be
amended in the Senate, to read in plain
English what it means, viz, "that the
iails OF this State she'll not be used 20
confine fugitive slaves ill.," l like plain
ness at any time, and especially now,
and on this subject, when the Supreme
powers of the country, has decided that
the slave holder. can bring his slaves in
to Ohio, and be must be a slave STILL
The Solons Of this day have discovered
the important fact, that the trainers of
the Constitution of the United States,
knew nothing of the meaning and inten-
ton of that instrument, and we have
men under the solemn obligation of an
oath, declaring the favorite measures of
Thomas Jefferson, unconstitutional

The House is busy discussing the a.
mendments to the constitution. Mr. Cor

yesterday, in which be drew a fancy
sketch of a model government. He
