A Piece of History.

To the Editor of die Belmont C1ronicle- Z -ttA
SIR happened few days ago to
take up and open the Journal of tn e
Ohio House of Representatives for 1874
45, and turned TO page eli. There found
the protest of twenty six Democrats of
the House against the act of that session
"to incorporate the State Bank of Ohio
and of other banking companies"
The protest occupies about two and a
half pages, and contains seventeen rea-
sons why, in the opinion of the protes-
tants, the act should not have passed.
The protestants conclude by saying
that nothing remained to the under
signed but TO give notice to allc1ncerned,
that an act so. complex in its provisions,
so contradictory in its different parts, so
distructiveo of fourrepublican institutions,
so ruinous to liberty, and SO void OF
justice and equity should be repeaIed.- =
And we cannot therefore, do other than
once more solemnly protest against the
acts and to warn all good citizens of this
land other States against having any
thing to do with the companies author
lied under it." .-.l... ssst

to the extent authorized by it, and opera
ted under it until their places were sup
piled by the National Banks in 1864
The threat to agitate the, question of re-
peal was very soon abandoned, the Banks
went into operation, and fulfilled the
highest expectations oftlleir friends,
and falsified all the predictions of their
enemies ITO itIlG 1Ce.

SOME of our Democratic Friends are
taking the trouble to circulate that c.
L. Poortnan had predicted that Hon.
John A. Bingham would be defeated
this Fall by two hundred majority, and
p. that said O. u. 'Poor1nan was mot going
into the present campaign to work as he
had heretofore worked. AS we expect to
carry tileaX XVIth District this Fall by
not less than twelve hundred majority,
we may as well say SO, and relieve these
'friends" Of any comfort they may de-
rive from belief that we ever made any
such prediction as above stated. Mr..
Bingham will certainly be elected. What
we propose to do in this campaign, may
be inferred from a reference to our list
of appointments published elsewhere
This is our commencement, and before
the campaign closes we expect to visit
every part of the county and so stir-up
the spelling carcass of Democracy, as
will make even its friends glad to have
IL bnrried out of sight as early as the
month of October
