The House, yesterday, refused to pass th,
Senate bill repeating the Free Banking Law
of 1851. A motion to reconsider the vote
was made and laid on the table. Numerous
petitions were presented and appropriately
referred.
The House was mostly occupied in the
discussion Of the bill for the relief of John
w. Allen, which was passed.
In the Senate, a bill was introduced bv
Mr.. Phelps, supplementary to the act Of
March IL, 1853, to regulate the election,
contest of election and resign Of Justi.
ces OF the Peace; also bill by Mr. Green,
to extend the time of payment for section
sixteen, Ludlow township, in Washington
county.
The bill was passed TO authorize the Town
Council of the incorporated village of Kali.
da, to levy tax for the purpose Of erecting
suitable school houses.
A lengthy discussion was had upon the
preamble and resolution introduced some
days since by Mr.. Schleigh, after which the
same were adopted. They are as follows ::
WHEREAS, By the Constitution of the
State, it is provided that claws shall be
passed, taxing by uniform rule" oil the
property of the State, and that the General
Assembly shall provide by law for taxing
the bills and notes discounted or purchased.
moneys loaned, and all other property, ef-
fects, of every description, (without deduc.
tion,) Of all banks nop eristino, or hereafter
created, and Of all brokers, so that all pro.
perty employed in banking, shall always
bear burthen of taxation equal to that i'm.
posed on the property Of individuals.
AND WHEREAS, In pursuance of this
wholesome provision of the organic law of
the State, the General Assembly, at its first
session after the adoption OF that instrument.
passed an act requiring the banks to contrib.
ute equally with citizens to the burthens o RI
Government; which reasonable and lust re. |
qu;rement the banks resisted, SHIELDING
themselves behind an alleged contract with
he State, contained in their charters-tbus
,lacing themselves above the legislative
lower, from which they derived their exis.
ence, trampling upon the Constitution and
efying the people whose sovereign voice
dopted that instrument.
AND WHEREAS, This assumption on the
art of these corporations, clothed as they
re with powers and privileges for amassine
ealth denied to the citizen; corpoFationsl
hich demand at the hands Of the Govern.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON City, February ii Tho
admission of Oregon into the Union was
celebrated last night by large concoursc
OF citizens, who, with a fall marine band
serenaded the distinguished friends of the
measure, including General Lane, Senator
Green, Representatives.. Nichols, Scott,
Stephens, Letcher, Til yer, Comins, Steven.
son, and Orr, nearly all of whom delivered
6rlet speeches. eulogistc OF the event. The
President, in response to repeated calls, ap-
peared at the window of the White House.
He presumed, he said, that from this hand
some demonstration, that the Oregon bill
mad passed, and sincerely congratulated those
upon the advent of another sovereign State
into the glorious confederacy of the Repub.
llc. State, too, situated on the very shores
OF the Pacific, favored with fine climate,
an exuberant soil, and filled with tried and
true Democrats. The election of General
Lane, who had proved himself gallant sol.
dier in war, and a true statesman in peace,
was also fit subject for rejoicing. 1t was
an honor he had fairly deserved by his exer.
ton to bring this new State into the Union.
Expansion was in future the policy of our
country. Cowards alone feared and opposed
1t. Tha mixing them for the honor paid him,
the President concluded by calling for Yam.
kee Doodle, which was performed by the
band. Vice President Bseckinridge, in On.
other part Of the city, declared that whenev.
er he cou Id he had always given the bill
push, and expected on next Monday to swear
in both Senators. Having been called upon
to cay something about Cuba, he remarked
that we talked too much, and did too little.
When England wished to do thing, she did
It, and talked afterwards. II the island of|
Cuba, instead of being placed at the mouth
d the Gulf of Mexico, laid at the opening
d the British channel, England would take
It 10 ten days. He was in favor of the &C.
luisition of Cuba, but would not rob for it
but actwith any portion of his fellow citizens
IN using all honorable means to acquire it.

ment ample protection Of all their rights
and property, and yet refuse to contribute
equally for the support Of that very Govern.
menh whose projection they invoke, has
been twice, at least, revoked by the Supreme
Court OF the State. AZ
AND WHEREAS, Tie present General As
sembly in discharge or its plain duty under
the constitution, Immediately after the last
decision Of the supreme court, again refusing
to sanction this assumption of the banks that
they were higher and beyond the constitu.
ton aud the people of the sovereign State
OF Ohio, passed law, requiring them to
bear their equal share of the burthens OF the
government, which law these corporations
have obstinutely refused to obey, and in or.
der to eysde its provisions, have Bought to
prevent the State from performing their
sworn duty under the law, by injunctions
and other expensive and harassing processes
from the fedefal courts; therefore,
Be IL ReSoEBsd By The General Assemble
Of the State Of Ohio, That it is the imperative
duty OF the legislature to protect the citizens
OF the State from the onerous burthen sought
to be imposed upon them by the banks, which
while they ask at the hands of the govern.
ment the same protection afforded to naturol |
Persons' yet refuse to pay their equal share
OF taxes as required by the constitution, and
seek to cast the whole burthen of sustaining
the government which extends its protecting
care over all, upon the people alone.
ResolUed, That the finance committees of
both houses be instructed to report bills en-.
acting such amendments to existing laws,
and such further legislation as may be ne.
cessary to compel the banks 10 yield obedi.
ence to the constitution, and pay their just
and equal portion of taxation. =

Great Fire I'm Boston.

On Sunday morning, at an early hour
the mechanical steam bakery of Joseph G
Russell, in Commercial street, Boston, wa
destroyed BY fire. 1t was but recently com
,Pleted, and cost 100000, while the mo
chinery in twas valued at $4,000 to $50,
600. A large quantity Of -four, belonging t.
various parties, was slowed, in the building
OF which about eighteen thousand barrels
was burned. A young colored man, attach.
ed to one Of the FIRE companies, was killed BY
q falling wall, aud six buildings adjoining,
were crushed by the wall, twelve families
residing in them being driven out, barely
escaping with their lives. A ware house
was also destroyed by the same means
The estimated loss is 100000, on which the
insurance will scarcely exceed one.third.-
From the attendant circumstances, it ia be.
heved that the fire was the work OF an incen.
diary. The establishment had only been in
operation one week, and much opposition
had been manifested--a few days since. an
explosion occurred, and it was subsequently,
discovered that gunpowdsr was mixed with
the coal. A watch dog had also been stolen
rom the premises, and two nights before,
the key ofone Of the doors was missing, bv
which it is supposed the incendiaries effected
an entrance. The basis ofthe opposition is
that it interferes with the trade of the bak.
ers, bread having been furnished at this es. |
tablishment at three and a half cents per loaf
while the ordinary price was five cents.

The Canadian correspondence of the New

Ohio Treasurer
Ifyou ever knew, you may have forgotten
and if you never did now, it will be news t.
tell you, that Mr.. Breslin, formerly Treosur.
er OF the State Of Ohio, who it is said ran
away with, forget how many hundred thou.
sand dollars, has since that elopement been
living quite quietly in The neig ghboring citv
OF Hamilton.
He boards, believe, at the Anglo Ameri.
can Hotel. He is very retireing, and never
obtrudes himself upon the attention of visi.
tors. His hair is getting very gray. saw
him the other day and noted great change.
The general impression is that man who
lives 80 quietly and unostentatiously, nav.
even closely, as he does, can not have made
much by running away, and so people don't
often abscond unless they can make bile
70 doing SO. i is thought likely that the de.
ialcations will ere long be traced to some
body other than the ex treasurer. OF course,
we Canadians have no means of knowing
We can only conjecture.

King Ferdinand, the son of Francis /. anc

1870, and ascended the throne of the Two

Kingdom distracted with dssensions, arising
from the unsettled condition of affairs on the
Continent, and essayed to bring order out
of confusion by adopting measures of pru
dence and cIemency, which gave his sub

they afterwards experienced. On succeed.
ing to the throne, he extended an amnesty
TO political exiles, promised measures OF
economy in the administration Of Govern.

calculated to throw light upon the finances,
and told his people that, their taxes should
be reduced. The Bourbon, however, could
not keep to fur promises, and new troubles
