Outside Of Inc Leg
islaturo. this city is essentially dull. and
there Is little excitement surrounding life
IN The Legislaluie. The general business
Of che Session Is about disposed Of and
che only important question left relative
to the Canals. CadWells Bill is under
discussion in the House, and is gaiaing
friends every day. Citizen CAnET, was
expected 70 spread himself on the
Bill. but is confined 10 his room with
sickness. Mr.. Parsons Of this city made
q speech this morning, which he rsad at
the Clerks desk, and there was nothing
either in the mailer or papner'to interest
OF convince the hearer. He goes for the
Brace repadiation Resolutions, as most
Of the men Of wealth do. He is a gentle
man who mingles little with the people,
and knows less Of their sympathies and
opinions. Such men are better at arrsng-
log . cold, heartless financial speou'A:iOn,
for corporation than dealing in matters
Of right.
Mr.. LrTTLE, the Efficient member from
Clark, followed Mr.. PARSONS, and guided
by "the light Of nature, 4" aud aiming at
exact justice, he knocked the repudia
tors" into pi, and gave Mr.. PARsONs Jits.
His speech, was manly, fearless, and
convincing. and excellent in style and ar
gument.
In the afternoon, Mr.. BLAKEsLEE, the
the able member from Williams. made a
speech in support Of Gadwells Bill, which
was alike an honor to himself, aud an Of.
tort in the right direction. lie took oo-
oasion to 'lay our' Mr.. HUME Of Marion.
who had been little unfortunate yester'
dav, in some Of his illustrations.
Mr. LrsNErr Of Licking got the aool
after Mr.. BLAKEsLER concluded, and after
protracted effort to ''invoks point, >
sat down much to the qualification o
those present, why is it that members
indulge in the weakness Of freading speech
esq Il looks yery weak. And that suel
speeches for studied efforts. Weak mel
have singular vanity, to see their ro
marks IN print"
Il Is to be hoped that the talking r
about finished, and that practical sotion il
at hand.
Whilst she House has been occupied il
the contracts mainly, other matters re-
cievo attention. Much important busi
ness has been disposed Of, and long year
will pass before Legislative body o
equal DOrth, intelligsnes and integrit!
will be assembled. Your Superior Cour
Bill will probabably come to vote to
morrow, and if a full House can be ha'
liz will pass. It's friends are confident o
successin the Senate. III fails, the elec
} ton Of an additional Judge will be order
4 ed in your District.
In the Senate, business is far advanced
and but little is doing. There is som
talk about the extra S2,7OO claimed b
a the special committees, and many dout
}, the right of charging per-diem, mileag'
I board bills, Railroad fair, and omnibus
, hire. If such charges are allowed an
paid, the members Of the committees wi
S suffer more in 'gOOd namO," than Ii
o rasOals they have ''hunted down." wit
such courage.
In the House special committee {
Q eight have made unanimous report in f
$ vor Of selling the Canals, Furnpikes an
Railroad stock.
The Bill provides that the Canals mus
!. sell for 81, 300, 900. and the Western R,
d serve and Maumee Road for 900, ,o0I
