The Loco Focos are in a groat pickle concerning tho Dayton Convention. They are affronted because invitations have been given to Mr, Clay and some of his friends in Kentucky and elsewhere, to attend and partake of a bit of roosted ox. It is improper, indelicate and "insulting to our intelligence and independence." It is more" it is an attempt upon the aovercignty of our State," and should be " frowned upon indignantly." So Uiinks the Statesman and an obscure sheet in Kentucky which he quotes to fortify his positions. Fttir and softly, gentlemen ! Who first set the example of treating Uieir distinguished political friends or party loaders, in other Slates, to the hospitalities of this State ? If we beUiink us rightly, it is no longer ago than Ihe 8Ui of January lust, that a Loco Foco Slate Convention sought to bring s foreign influence to bear upon our local elections, by sending an invitation to Gen. Jackson, Col. Johnson, and Mr. Van Buren to visit the State, and eat, drink and make Bpoeches wiUi their party. Mr. Van Buren accepted such invitation, came and was Med from Cincinnati to Colutnhus, and Uicnco to the Indiana lino escorted by military companies, and political committees, made political speeches and set down to political dinners, for Uie solo and only purpose of creating political capital. In Uie campaign of 1840, Col. Johnson, a citizen of Kentucky, just previous to an election for " County Coroners, Commissioners," ic. was dragged through the State, held up for a show and compelled to mako speeches for political effect. Even now within a fortnight, we have seen a notice in Ute Statesman, announcing that Co). Johnson wus about to lcavo home on a politicul mission Uiruugh this State to l'emisylvania, and that he would be in Uiis city, where ho would stop over a day to commotio with his political brethren ! But for Mr. Clay to come into Uie State, upon tho invitation of Uioso who love and admire him, is insulting and ulfensivo, and in the language of the Statesman, "it would be Bcrving tho political missionaries right to give them a good dose of pond water." (This from a newly converted supporter of law und order I) The lij pocricy of this pretenco, is too Utinly disguised to go down. If improper in itself, it does not become Uio Loco Foco leaders to rohuko in others what they are guilty of Uiemsolvo. The Statesman is evidently perturbed. It is afraid of the influeiico of the Convention. Mr. Clay may possibly go away dearer to a portion of the people of the Htuto, than he comes. Who thought of deprecating tho attempt to ovorawo the "sovereignty " of Ohio, when Mr. Van Buren came among us to pick up a little capital, and pave Ute way fur another heat over the Presidential courso ? We should not have objected, if he had staid here still Uiis time. Wo don't think his presence would have seriouly affected the result of Uie election. Neither will Mr. Clay's to a great extent, though Mcdary betrays so much anxiety and agitation about the alTair. If it docs, we know of no means of consolation, until you first sot us the example of treating the citizens of a neighboring State as though they were national enemies, entitled to no courtesies, but only to be watched as intruders and enemies whenever Uicy cross our borders. ' Iel the grilled Jnde wince, nnr withers are um-wrnng!"The aristocratic leaden of tho Loco Foco party, are really putting on fine airs. Rant calls Uio hard fisted men who earn Uieir brcuil by Ute aweat of Uicir brow, tho "RABBLE," and "riLTii ami scum of the Nation." Quo of his vile echoes, who apes Uio maimers of his master, the editor of the Znncsvillc Aurora, speaks of Uio Whigs at the Great Convention of Ute ihli inst, aa the " mobocract !" By and by Utey will bo sneering at us as "foir" and "tut-gar fellow." It is true, that many a Whig and working man, in Uio country, tloes not wear as line clothes as Ihcso "gentlemen" who hold tlie offices, pilfer tho " quassi quires " and form Uio " upper crust " of good society in the cities; but Uicir hearts areas warm and beat with as honest impulses, as if they strutted about in "free trade " British broad cloths, paid for out of Uie State Treasury. And if one of them should bo charged with "STEALING," he would probably recovora greater verdict thnn $,187,-50!! lo salvo up bis wounded reputation with! The "RABIILE!"

They did not appear very anxious to bo observed in public, but skulked obutitin a stealthy and fugitivo manner, as if they wero ashamed of themselves, and the business in which Ihey aro engaged. Poor, disconsolate souls! what losses they will havo to recount, when tho election is over. Whigs" Push on your column charge along the whole line " Iht day it our oim ,' Keep it before Ihe People t That tho bloat of the Statesman stigmatizes the honest and industrious farmers and workingmen who pay the taxos and defend tho soil as tho "RABIILE" "tlie FILTH and SCUM of the Nation!"

The nnpenl lo llrllglona Inllnrnrea. The Zmiosvillo Gazette, a respectable neutral paper, refused to publish lite articlo in Uie Aurora, addressed to the " Religious Portion of the Whig party," alleging that "it was pioco of hypocricy." So says the Aurora, itself. The attempt to enlist religious foelings on the side of Loco Focoism, has turned out a dead failure. Sain will return to tho abuse of Uio clergy "liko t sow to hor wallowing," before the olection comes on. Mark the prediction. C7Qi' grows as sour as a crab-apple.

NJcnntor Nash's Leller, lo is Whig I'ltlaess sir Adnana County. Gallii-olis, September 9th, 1842. Dkar Sir : Fearing that it will be impossible for me to be with the Whigs of Adams on the 17th instant, I have UiQtight it expedient to place on paper some things I could wish to have said to the people I havo seen the letter of Mr. Robbins, and was astonished at it at Uio time. From what I had seen of him, I had formed a favorable opinion of his integrity. I had known that he was opposed lo the destructive policy of hii own party, and disposed to pursue a moderate course. But this letter of his has unsettled all my opinions of the gentleman. Ho makes charges Uiat even the Statesman itself docs not venture upon. He charges that tho Whig members did not resign on account of tho bill to divide Uie State into Con- ressionai aistncts, out to prevent tne passage ot a ill to re-charter the soecie navinr banks, llv this he charges the fifty-two Whigs of the Senate and liuuse with putting their names to a deliberate falsehood in signing Uieir address. They suy they did resign on that account! Mr. Robbins says Uicy did not Now, which know best, the Whigs who resigned, or Mr. Robbins, whose views were defeuted by such resignation ? The ll'higs resigned solely for the cause assigned, and for no other. Tho majority in the Legislature proposed to pass a bill so shaped that a minority of lt!,000 of the people should elect twelve members of Congress, while the majority of 10,000 of the people should elect but nine members : or placing the majority of the people at 11,000, then that majority should elect but seven members, while to the minority would be secured fourteen members! The bill, if passed, would have operated a fraud upon the majority of the pcoplo ; and the Whigs, to whose custody the rights of this majority of 10,000 freomen wero committed, resigned their scats and restored their official power buck to tho people, who could best protect their own rights by saving from desecration the power of the ballot box. I believed then, and still believe, that the Whigs were morally bound to take tho course they did. What right had they to hold on to official station, given them by tho pooplo, to be exercised for their benefit, when so doing would permit a gross, an admitted fraud, to bo consummated against Uie rights and interests of the people? Justly could the people have blamed the Whigs for a courso ao craven. A solemn feeling of obligation to my constituents constrained me to acknowledge the propriety of the step taken by tho Whigs. They resigned to prevent a fraud upon the rights ot a majority of the people of tho Slate of Ohio. But, says Mr. Robbins, these fifty-two Whigs have not told the truth : thero was another reason which led them to resign, tho fear of a re-churter of the banks. I will soon show how utterly false this pretenco is. In the first place, I assert, as a fact, that no Whig dreamed that there wus any dcaign of passing any kind of a bill to re-charter a siuglo bank. Several of Uie majority of tho late Legislature were pledged to voto against all banks. Taylor, of Licking, is so hostile to corttorations, Uiat be refuses to voto for a charter even for a Church or Academy. There are oUiers equally rabid against bank corvorulions. Now, Uien, bow could tho majority pass hank churters of any kind ? 1 know they could nut do it. Nor is Uiis all. The wholeof tlie Inst annual session had been pormilted to pass without doing any thing for banks. The extra session was to have been closed in Uirec days, and nothing had as yet been done on Uiis subject. Potitions had been presented the first week ol the extra session in both branches, had been referred to Uio appropriate committees, and up to the time of Ute resignations the committees had made no report in favor of the petitions ; and the House committee, as I am told by one of its members, had never been called tngcUicr. A bill also bad been introduced by Mr. Sharp to extend ohartera under Lothnm'o bill, so called t this had also been referred to Ute House committee near a week before, and tho coinmitteo hud never been called together to consider of it. Further: Mr. Taylor, of Licking, aaid, in Uie Senate, on a resolution to print extra copies of the Bank Commissioner's Re'iort, Uiat this question of banks was to bo referred to the decision of tho people at Uie coming election. Now, willi these facts before them, how could any man havo supposed Uiat Uio majority designed lore-churter any banks at that session ? As a fact, know Uiat the Whigs, when Uicy resigned, had not Uio remotest idea thnt the majority designed to do any siitli thing; though, wo well believed, and then predicted, that this pretence would be put furlh to cover up tho enormity of the fraud which Uie Tin Pan hud determined to perpetrato. It was not till after the Whigs had resigned, that we ever heard of any design to extend tho charters of the banks, even under Lstham's humbug bill of last winter. Alter Uio resignations, Mr. Hatch reported back tho bill of Mr. Sharp to extend charters under Lstham's bill, which Mr. I lamer has effectually annihilated. No alteration of it was proposed. To pass such a bill, then, was to do a useless act, was, as Mr. llamcr says, to refuso tu mako safo and sound banks. No bank had ever agreed to come in under LaUiain'a bill There wore but tlireo days of tho session left. Now, a bill has to bo read on three scvpral days in each House. This bill had not psased tho lower House: how, then, the majority could have passed the bill, is more than 1 can soc. Hut this idea of enacting a banking system fur Uie State of Ohio in three days, when tho majority had not been able to do so for four months, is, of itself, t palpablo absurdity.This, therefore is all pretence. Tho people, if they wish for sound banks according to Mr. limner's views, and with whoso views, in this respect, I agree, must aend a different set of men to the Legislature. Hanks or no banks is the issue. The candidates being nominated by tho lvcos aro mostly hard money men. In Cincinnati, Hatch and Ewing have been dropcd on suspicion of being in favor of banks, and Ihnroiigh-going hard money men aelecled. Such is tho caso all uver tho State. Let ovory man, then, who w-ishes for good banks, come nut from lcufoco dictation and go for men pledged to carry tint Uioir viows on the subject of the currency. Let tho people also put Uieir iron heel on the tlcapoiiam of Uie l"in Pan, a machine whereby a few arc enabled to control the many, to tho ruin of all. Yours, &c, A: c., SIMEON NASH. Ilevolsttionnry. It is said that the resignation of the Whig members was a Jtevolutionnry movement Not so. It was to prevent a llmlul'mn that it waa done. It is a fundamental principle of our government thai tho majority shall rule. Any course of action Uiat goes to take that power to rule from the majority is Htn-lutionary. It strikes at the fundamental principles upon which our government is bssed. If the attempt to take Uiis power from tho majority is successful, there is a Revolution already consummated. This is a Republican government It cannot be a Republican government any longer Uian Uie majority aro permit-ted lo rule when Uie majority are defrauded of Uiat right, Uio government ceases to be Republican and becomes an oligarchy. The Locoforoa in this State havo by fraudulent apiKirtioninents made the attempt to lake from the majority of the people the power to govern. This attempt waa JtViofiifi'onnru. In Uie Legislature of thia State they have not only made the attempt but Utey have been successful in it while Uie majority of Uie people have been one way, the opponenta of that majority, havo by fraud held Uie political power. Then, as far as Uie government in Una State is concerned, the Locos have not only committed a Hen-tidionary act by attempting to take from tho majority their power, but have actually consummated a jVrro-furion, aa far as they havo been successful in their attempt to deprive tho majority of Iheir rights. They attempted to carry nut this Itnvtutionaru movotnent in our representation to Congress, as well as in our own government It was to prevent this, Uint the Whigs resigned. The resignation then, was nol a Knvlutionary act, but it was to prevent tho consummation of a' lUvot.t Tiort which would havo weakened if not have sundered Uie ties Uiat bind Uie people to Uio government Marin Mr. Two of Iho Tyler organs havo gut to loggerheads. As a specimen, tako Uio following Ironi Bennett's Herald: " On ! nit ! nit ! John Jones, of the Mndinonian, has slopped exe hanging his paper fur the Herald, he cause we think him a fool. I he loss is only equal to a few tnonUifuls of milk and water. Wo can easily balance Uiat account" THURSDAY EVENING, SEPT. 88, 1612. Liberty of Speech denied by Ihe Exclusive Friends mt Lae and Order. Whsil are we coming lo t We aro afraid that Uie new bom zeal of tho Loco Focos in favor of tho observance and preservation of the rules of law and order, is destined to an ephemeral existence. It blazed up brightly for a short period, but already its flame seems to be flickering like an expiring taper in its socket. ' Among the host of our true and working friends in the eastern part of the Slate, is a young gentleman of tho name of John A. Bingham, who resides at Cadiz, Harrison Co. Within a year or two Mr. B. has been taking rather an active and prominent part in politics, and this summer he is devoting himself with a feeling of patriotic fervor to the advancement of Uio republican principles professed by the Whig party. We have no acquaintance with Mr. Bingham's powers as a public speaker, but we have noticed for some time past, that his efforts in Uie good cause were drawing down upon his head a large share of the bittor and malignant vituperation of the small fry of the Loco Foco press, and concluded thence that they were at least respectable and that he was rendering efficient service. Mr. B. recently attended a Whig meeting at Now Philadelphia, which he favored with a speech that seems to have excitod an unusual commotion in Uie Ixhso Foco camp. Ho ia threatened with personal violence, by Uie new made converts tu law and order, if he ventures into the county again, to address a political assembly. Hoar tho Loco Foco organ at New Philadelphia:" lie llingham is a disgrace to community a firlcd, stalking peslilcncc dial should not lie sulfcred lo taint Ihe politic alniocplicre. And if be ever again altempls lo intuit die Democracy of Tuscarawas, with Iiin hrolliel slang, we guiir. mine him A COPIOUS SIIOWF.ll OF FUGS WITH DUADt.'lllt'KKNSlN'Kiu." We believe Uicro is an old-fashioned instrument in force, in this State, which secures to every individual in the Coniinonwualth who has not forfeited his rights by the commission of an infamous crime, tho " liberty of speech and of the press." We lcavo it to tho reflecting and intelligent portion of our citizens to determine how fur the lenders of the Loco Foco party are vindicating their claims to be considered the exclusive friends of law and order, by Uireats to assault an individual in tho performanco of what he considers to bo a duty to his political brethren and associates. Such a menace as Uie above, in our judgment, defines any thing but a very chivalrous regard for Uioso privileges for which our fathers poured out Uieir blood. Alnrmed nl l.nsl. Wo havo been told, that Shannon has been resting on his oars, in Uio perfect conviction that Judgu King, on the one hand, and Dr. Miller on tho other, would abstract so much from the Whig vole of 1810, that nil danger of defeat has been put fur offi Wo suspect the worthy fugitivo from Virginia justice, with the man who goes by the name of the "Ohio gong," at Washington, are getting over their security, and begin to feel thnt they have something lo do, if they mean to save their bacon. Accordingly Uicro is a considerable hurrying to and fro, and an unwonted agitation among tho leaders, as if the Whig thunder which seems to be rolling in every part of the horizon, had just waked them out of a deep slumber. Allen has been despatched into the West and South West, on "a fearful undertaking," as tho Statesman pronounces it, Shannon hos gone North, and that young cub of "democracy " as Col. Mcdill is conceived to be, is to make himself generally useful as occasion may require. Doubtless they havo been visited with somo sort of a premonition, that every thing is not quite as safe as could havo been wished, snd an effort ia now to be made to retrieve their failing circumstances. We Uiink they will find it an up hill business. Let our friends be on Uieir guard. Vigilance, perseverance, courage and determination will conduct us to a glorious victory. The SlenllloN sil his vocation, aignlnt "What shall our Stato be longer disgraced by such a liiToon f This language is applied by the Statesman to Uie Governor of the State of Ohio to Thomas Cor win, a man of more exalted talents, of higher intellectual attainments, and of more worth and estimation with Uio people, Uian all the Shannons, Aliens, Broughs and Mcdarys that could bo crowded into Uio Slate House, at any one time.

What a disgrace to human nature is Uio loathsome reptile, who dares thus to outrage decency and propriety, and to insult tho feelings of tho community. Hut we are not surprised at any Uiing Uiat may oma-nato from Uiat polluted source. The wretch who denounces the majority of the pooplo themselves, aa Uio "RABBLE," "Uie FILTH and SCUM of the Nation," cannot be expected to appropriate a milder phrase, when speaking of the person who enjoys their confidence, and wears worthily their honors.

Bank of England notes aro in circulation in this country, and old Tappnn (as will be seen by another article from tho Stcuhcnville Ilemhl) seems to favor the project of Uio establishment of a branch or agency of tho mother Bank, at New Orleans, What a magnificent conclusion would Uiis furnish to the much vaunted scheme of Bank Reform in this country. To be dependent upon England fur our manufactures snd our currency, would bo a consummation that could not fail of surrounding Ute Free Trade British rarty wiUi a halo of glory.

Thero is certainly a sensible improvement lit the small amount of business doing ; and where no posi live chango ia observable, there is Utal better feeling, that returning confidence, which is Uie harbinger of belter times. It is lliu starling point Uie first step towards a Uiorough piwperily. It will revive anil infuse new energy into Ute languishing interests of the great West Although this great measure was obtained and secured at Uie expenao of the Land Distribution lull, nevertheless it was sacrificing to Uie whims of a isortidious Executive, a lesser for a greater good. But Uio people of Ohio will not bo discouraged at iho defeat of this great cardinal principle ul 1 8111. I hey, in connection with Uieir Whig brethren of other States, havo lhe power to set Uus mailer right and through their representatives to remove lhe difficulty and a steady, patient, and resolute porsever-anco at the ballot box, will soon accomplish it. Much credit is due to the patienco and persevering enurgy of a Whig Congress in bringing about this salutary measure amid embarrassments and difficulties, such as novcr before beset a deliberative body. The Locos are again al Uicir old game of brag which Utey attempt to conceal under Uie cry of persecution. The charge of Pipe-laying comes with a bad grace from a party who introduced Uio system into the Stato, and tu whom it owes its paternity. Tho Whigs understand Uio game, and having the cards, that is, tho moral and numerical strength, we will not bo defrauded and cheated out of our rights. All wo want and what no human power can prevent, is a fair and candid expression at the ballot boxes. Tho W higs of old Hamilton, Uie battle ground of tho Stato, are wido awake, and would caution their fiiends in oilier counties to bo on Iheir guard. Our opnents aro becoming desperate, and tiro hatching sumo nefarious plot by which to per-ielti.Uc Uieir wer obtained by fraud and villainy. We have meetings nightly, and Uicy weto never better attended. Since I wrote you last in addition Ui our own apoakers, wo have had HcNitmcg, of Dayton, Camprkll, Debs, and Mii.i.iuan, of Hamilton, and Clarkc, of Clermont H of whom matlo ell'ec-live speeches to lurgo and enthusiastic audiences, Tho spirit of IH1U is about to be eclipsed. The Dayton Convention is to be the Lion of the campaign. Extensive preparations are making to go up in large bodies from Una city. We have resolved to go in squads of !0 and 5(1, and provide our own tents ami provender. And I would suggest the same arrangement to the Wluga of other counties. Our Dayton friends will no doubt provide liberally and bountifully l but my impression is, that there will nut bo more Uian mom aiillicicnt for our Whig brethren from Uio adjoining States and from distant counties of our own Statu. Hence the propriety of Ute arrangement I suggest I am informed that aev-eral of our Military Cumpanies havo chartered canal bonis to go up on Uio 2Sth. ' It is feared that Brother John carries too much steam in speaking of Whig gatherings, and unless he opens his safety vslvo he will collspso about Uie time tho Dayton Convention comes off. You had better suggest to some uf Uie (irannios of his party to deliver him of a little pulp before that time, and if possible prevent such an awful catastrophe. HAItllY.

FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 23, 1842. Bcmevnl f ihe Wnrecn of Ibe Prnitcnllnrr Mr. Dewey's Ht'port in Ihe sjcnnle. Wo surrender a largo portion of our paper to-day, to the Report of Mr. Dewey, made in the Senate on the hut day of the extra session the printing of which, the most of the Lam foco Senator! toted to suppress ! No right-minded citizen of the State can road the evidence disclosed by the examinations of the committee, without experiencing a deep sense of shame and indignation, that a high public functionary slruuld bo found guilty of the practice of uch disgraceful and criminal frauds, and that they should have been carried on for so long a period without detection and the application of a remedy. Yet whilst this system of swindling was going on, no man prated more of his " democracy," or was lauded higher for his attachment to the party, than Van Hook ! At the very moment lie was appropriating the peopled money to his private uses which in a " poor man's " case, would be called plain ttealing the State Printer was loudly boasting that he enjoyed the honor of his friendship ! Truly, they wore par nobilefratrum ! And when his peculations had become so open and notorious, that the Directors of the Penitentiary could not but choose to dismiss him, they sent him forth with a certificate that he had managed the institution for the advantage and interest of the State! And what sort of a man, has been appointed to fill his placo ? Let the publications that have boen made respecting his conduct in another capacity furnish the answer. But after all, Van Hook is only the victim of circumstances. He Is not a whit more culpable than those of his associates who are still rioting upon the spoils and "fea.iriin"of office. His abstractions of the money and property of the State, is only the game of the "rjunssi quiru " over again. His certificate of good character, is only the resolution of a legislative committee in a new form, that his u conduct sheds additional lustre upon his former reputation." They are all alike Van Hook, Modary, Orough, Stuihlen, Spencer and the rest, and if the people intend to put a stop to swindling and peculation, the whole tribe of vampiros must be turned adrift. A Voice from tho. Alhuille. The Boston Atlas of the 15th instant contains the interesting proceedings of the Whig State Convention, assembled at Funeuil linll, for the purpose of nominating candidates for the office of (jovernor and Lieut. Governor. "The Whigs of tho Old Bay State," suys the Atlas, " have every reason to be proud of, and to congratulate themselves upon, tho glorious spirit that was manifested by tho noble gathering of tho tmn-henrted Whigs who assembled yestcriluy in Old Funeuil Hall, to consult together on the welfare of our Country, and the Commonwealth. Never, oven in 1810, havo we witnessed any tiling to exceed the xoal, enthusiasm and unanimity that every where prevailed. But one mind but ono spirit, seemed to animate the whole. The whole proceedings were tho spontaneous, unanimous prompting of freemen, without dictation and without any extraneous influence." Governor Davis and Lieut. Governor Hull were nominated for a re-election in November, with great cordiality and enthusiasm. But the point of greatest interest in tho proceedings was the nomination of HENRY CLAY for President, and Hohkst John Davis for Vice President, In the canvass of 1844. The manner of these nominations are thus given in tho Atlas: " Mr. Nrwrnrr, of Pillsfiefd, Hid thai he should preface the suggestion he wiu sihiuI lo make with no attology. Tlie Whig-i thrtmghrsut the ctstntry demanded that this aorit-ii! Commonwealth should lake Ihe lead in the good cam, end the time-hallowed anil steed-hallowed plare in winch thi'V were assembled, waft a fit spssl for Iho nomination he wnt alsout to proKMe. He moved that lite Convention thoitlil isrocecd In isnminnte a President and Vice President or the United Slates for die csssuing term. Thia motion waa adopt, od. and thu mm of HKaifiV. CLAY, ssf keouirky. iituue. dinlcly echoed aod re-echoes! from nil parts of the Hall, and waa received with uemendoua and long-continued abouu of congratulation. ' Vhcn the first burst, of applause bad sulssitled, the white-haired veteran, Kbkskxvr CrouGH, proponed nine cheers and, taking off hit hat, set the canmile himself, which, it need hardlv he added, was followed with immense enthusiasm. "John davis was then nominated lor Vice President, anil this nomination was confirmed liy equally hearty, long continued, and enthusiastic applause.1' Massachusetts is therefore in the field. She echoes hack the shout sent up by the freemen of Ohio! That both States will perform their wholo duty in 1813, as well as in 1844, is not to bo doubted. Under the eanncr inscribed with the names of Clay and Davis, names that aro every where kindling the fires of patriotic enthusiasm in the hearts of the people, tho Whigs of both States will overwhelm all opposition. Another gosse or l.nw onsl Order! We aro informed that a gentleman of this city, high in tho esteem and confidence of tho Loco Foco party, in a speech at Uio Johnson Dinner last evening, exhorted his friends to "arm themselves " fur the final issue, if they believed the Whigs would succeed in carrying the State at the coining election for he said tliey would have use for their veations. What desperate deeds are tho Gerrymandcrera bent on next ? Do they expect to frighten any body by swelling words ? We know it is hard work for the blood-suckers of tho treasury to give up their places, but Uio voice of tho people wills it, and they must succumb. "Am tiismsxiviu," forsooth I How much of the respect of tho community, is a man entitled to, who can give utteranre to a aentiment that points directly to anarchy and blood-shed? And what should the pooplo say to a party, whose leaders talk openly of resistance to the constitutional expression of the public will, through the ballot boxes? An OdsHly, Old Diogenes, of the Boston Courier, is in a perfect fury because Uie Whigs are every where uniting upon Clay fur Uie Ptesidoncy. Ho says Clay ought to have been nominated and elected years ago now tho Whiga aro just coming to Uieir senses. The old curmudgeon is really in a rage, because the Whigs seem to bo doing with t trill, just what he has long desired Uiem to do. It's amusing to see a man snapping liko a turtle at his own nose. Dranenetrnlioai Mason I, letting. "Petticoat" Allen went to Ncwsrk to mako t soooh o.i Tuesday, but it waa like goingwool-gathering to come back shorn. The expected mootings was almost a total failure. A procession waa attempted, which conaisted of itDO persons, all told. Tho whole affair was destitute of spirit and has only had Ute effect to expose the weakness of Uie "hard-money " clans. New from Ibe North Tsse nabrra cms the Bess aervo In molten iiissassslisii etf Iho Ohio Btmlt Jemntml, Cl.rviLA.in, September 17, IKIt Dcar Sin: The Whigs of Cuvshoga held their Convention in this city to-day, fur the purpose of selecting candidates for Ute several olucei to be filled in Ociuber next A large number of "the good Whigs and true" were in attendance the delega-Uona from Uie townships, with ono or two exceptions, were full, Tho people were here to do Uicir own business in their own way. After Iho Convention was duly organited, on mo-lion, SRAMtHr Forii, our Isle Senator, was nominated hy acclamation for re-olecUon. A motion was Uien made to proceed to Uie nomination nf a Representative by ballot 1- 1- Adams, Eq., of Dover, arose and aaid, that previous to the resignation of the Representatives, the Whigs of several township had fixed upon James A. Unions, Esq., aa their candidate for tho legislature; but Uint act had put a different face umn political matters, and Ihey fell, as Mr. Briggs did, that they ought In sustain their Hepresentalivti. Mr. B, was Ihcn railed out, and asked tn stato his views to the Convention. Ho arose and aaid, that lie Imped Uie Whigs would nominate Mr. Thomas M. Ks llxv, and send him bark to Columbus, endorsed by a majority of 800. That however gratifying it would be to him to receive Uie nomination from the Whigs of Cuyahoga, under the existing circumstances he should he more gratified at the nomination and election of Mr.' Kelley, and he desired that Mr. K. should be put in nomination, not by ballot, but by acclamation. The members approved of the suggestion of Mr. B, and Mr. Kelley was nominated for re-election by acclamation, without a dissenting twice. The other officers you will get in the Herald. The greatest unanimity of feeling prevailed among the delegates. Several excellent resolutions were adopted. The banner, inscribed with the names of CLAY and DAVIS, was flung to the breeze; Con-win, it was resolved, llmidd be elected a "Clay Club " was formed j Col. Whittlesey elected President, with Vice Presidents in each township. A. A. Bliss, Esq., of Lorain, was called upon, and addressed the Convention in a very able manner for about an hour and a half, relative to the proceeding! of the Locos in the Legislature. Mr. Briggs was called for, and made short speech, giving a report of " doings " down South. Ho gave a cheering account of Whig prospects at the South, and told the Whigs that the " Reserve " was pledged for 8000 majority for Corwih. The Whigs of the Reserve are arousing. They are putting on their political armor, and they will be ready for the contest on the 11th of October. Fear not fur the Yankees, they will do their duty, and rally nobly, gloriously, for the rights and interests of the people. Ohio is safe. The greatest excitement exists here among men of all parties at the reported appointment of B. Andrews as Post Master in this city, in the place of A. Burker, Esq., one of the most faithful, efficient, and honest officers and men in this world. Mr. Andrew! could not get three votes in this city for the office ; and all tho strength that John Tvler adds to his of- fict-teeking party by this miserable appointment, he is welcome to. un, shame on such a President! But he has no shame no sense. Yours, Sic, CUYAHOGA. For die Ohio State Journal Mr. Editor : As the dissolution of the late Le-gislnture is a subject of general remark and discus sion, permit me through the medium of your paper, to mane a tew uric! remarks on trie subject In attempting to analyze this subject, it seems to naturally divide itself into these three propositions : 1st. ('un a minority of a legislative body sufficient to destroy a quorum, resign their office :n order to defeat the passage of any law ? And indly, If they enn, are they justifiable under ant nVcttrnjinnrei, in so doing ? And Silly, If thev are, was the circum stances under which the Whig members of the late Legislature ressigncd their scats one of tint character?Tho first proposition seems to need no proof, inasmuch as (here is notion? in the Constitution or laws of Uio United States, or State of Ohio to prohibit it j und inasmuch as the right of an individual member to resign Rt pleasure, has never been questioned in the General or Statu Government, it would be difficult to say that one, two, or a dozen in succession nmy resign, but the last one which would destroy a a quorum should not have the same right as those that preceded him. But why attempt to reason on a proposition that needs no reasoning one that tins been demonstrated before our eyes and where is tho preventing power? To prove the second proposition, that is, that they ore jiiHtitinble in extreme cases, (and nono contend Unit they are, except in extraordinary cases) let us suppose thnt the majority of any Ohio Legislature should determine to pass a law giving to each of themselves filly or a hundred dollars a day for their own services, Uiere is no way to prevent its passage hut by a sufficient number of honest members re signing. Our Executive could have no power in me premises ; ne nns no power to veto any act tlie majority may pass ; and the case could not be brought before the judiciary; they would only have to get their order from Ute Auditor, call on the Treasurer, ant) pocket Uicir cosh. And hence ouronlv safety would depend upon the resignation of an honest minority. (By the way, however, I am no friend to the exercise of Executive vetoes and am satisfied with our Constitution that does not give Uie power, believing thst power was only designed to be used in extreme cases, and as a check to corrupt legislation.) This a uui one amongst a tnousana supposaoie cases in which it would certainly be the duty of the minority to resign their seats, and thereby save the State. it appears to me that by these few remarks 1 have fully established both the power and the duly of an honest minority in extreme cases to resign their seats to prevent usurpation, or corrupt )rrinirt. It now only remains to examine whether the i...utisucea-iiniier which the minority of the late Legislature resigned, was of a character to justify the measure. On this, a difference of opinion, evon amongst Whigs, may exist Some, in politics, as in religion, an dus posed to bear any injury without resistance j whilst others believe it their duty to actively contend for Uioir rights. That all legislation should be imoartisl. dointr e- qual justice to all parties and sects, is a proposition so ptain ana so just, mat none wiu deny it (speaker Spalding oxcepted) whatever their practice may be to the contrary ; and yet I have met with no one, even amongst tlie Democrats, (so called) that will fur a moment claim that Byington'a bill, that caused tho dissolution of tlie Legislature was impartial, or did equal justice to Uie political parties. The State being nearly equally divided on the question of tariff, and anti-tariff; land distribution, andanti-distribution (though I trust a majority in favor of tlie former) the districts were so arranged in this bill as to give to the tariff and distribution party six or seven votes in congress on utese questions, whilst too anil party would liave fourteen or fifteen, (to say nolhinrr of the inconvenient and ill shaped form of the districts.) luiieieai iimo oujeci, no manticatiy unjust wss me motive of the resigning members.

The Loco Focos are in a groat pickle concerning tho Dayton Convention. They are affronted because invitations have been given to Mr, Clay and some of his friends in Kentucky and elsewhere, to attend and partake of a bit of roosted ox. It is improper, indelicate and "insulting to our intelligence and independence." It is more" it is an attempt upon the aovercignty of our State," and should be " frowned upon indignantly." So Uiinks the Statesman and an obscure sheet in Kentucky which he quotes to fortify his positions. Fttir and softly, gentlemen ! Who first set the example of treating Uieir distinguished political friends or party loaders, in other Slates, to the hospitalities of this State ? If we beUiink us rightly, it is no longer ago than Ihe 8Ui of January lust, that a Loco Foco Slate Convention sought to bring s foreign influence to bear upon our local elections, by sending an invitation to Gen. Jackson, Col. Johnson, and Mr. Van Buren to visit the State, and eat, drink and make Bpoeches wiUi their party. Mr. Van Buren accepted such invitation, came and was Med from Cincinnati to Colutnhus, and Uicnco to the Indiana lino escorted by military companies, and political committees, made political speeches and set down to political dinners, for Uie solo and only purpose of creating political capital. In Uie campaign of 1840, Col. Johnson, a citizen of Kentucky, just previous to an election for " County Coroners, Commissioners," ic. was dragged through the State, held up for a show and compelled to mako speeches for political effect. Even now within a fortnight, we have seen a notice in Ute Statesman, announcing that Co). Johnson wus about to lcavo home on a politicul mission Uiruugh this State to l'emisylvania, and that he would be in Uiis city, where ho would stop over a day to commotio with his political brethren ! But for Mr. Clay to come into Uie State, upon tho invitation of Uioso who love and admire him, is insulting and ulfensivo, and in the language of the Statesman, "it would be Bcrving tho political missionaries right to give them a good dose of pond water." (This from a newly converted supporter of law und order I) The lij pocricy of this pretenco, is too Utinly disguised to go down. If improper in itself, it does not become Uio Loco Foco leaders to rohuko in others what they are guilty of Uiemsolvo. The Statesman is evidently perturbed. It is afraid of the influeiico of the Convention. Mr. Clay may possibly go away dearer to a portion of the people of the Htuto, than he comes. Who thought of deprecating tho attempt to ovorawo the "sovereignty " of Ohio, when Mr. Van Buren came among us to pick up a little capital, and pave Ute way fur another heat over the Presidential courso ? We should not have objected, if he had staid here still Uiis time. Wo don't think his presence would have seriouly affected the result of Uie election. Neither will Mr. Clay's to a great extent, though Mcdary betrays so much anxiety and agitation about the alTair. If it docs, we know of no means of consolation, until you first sot us the example of treating the citizens of a neighboring State as though they were national enemies, entitled to no courtesies, but only to be watched as intruders and enemies whenever Uicy cross our borders. ' Iel the grilled Jnde wince, nnr withers are um-wrnng!"The aristocratic leaden of tho Loco Foco party, are really putting on fine airs. Rant calls Uio hard fisted men who earn Uieir brcuil by Ute aweat of Uicir brow, tho "RABBLE," and "riLTii ami scum of the Nation."

By and by Utey will bo sneering at us as "foir" and "tut-gar fellow." It is true, that many a Whig and working man, in Uio country, tloes not wear as line clothes as Ihcso "gentlemen" who hold tlie offices, pilfer tho " quassi quires " and form Uio " upper crust " of good society in the cities; but Uicir hearts areas warm and beat with as honest impulses, as if they strutted about in "free trade " British broad cloths, paid for out of Uie State Treasury. And if one of them should bo charged with "STEALING," he would probably recovora greater verdict thnn $,187,-50!! lo salvo up bis wounded reputation with! The "RABIILE!"

NJcnntor Nash's Leller, lo is Whig I'ltlaess sir Adnana County. Gallii-olis, September 9th, 1842. Dkar Sir : Fearing that it will be impossible for me to be with the Whigs of Adams on the 17th instant, I have UiQtight it expedient to place on paper some things I could wish to have said to the people I havo seen the letter of Mr. Robbins, and was astonished at it at Uio time. From what I had seen of him, I had formed a favorable opinion of his integrity. I had known that he was opposed lo the destructive policy of hii own party, and disposed to pursue a moderate course. But this letter of his has unsettled all my opinions of the gentleman. Ho makes charges Uiat even the Statesman itself docs not venture upon. He charges that tho Whig members did not resign on account of tho bill to divide Uie State into Con- ressionai aistncts, out to prevent tne passage ot a ill to re-charter the soecie navinr banks, llv this he charges the fifty-two Whigs of the Senate and liuuse with putting their names to a deliberate falsehood in signing Uieir address. They suy they did resign on that account! Mr. Robbins says Uicy did not Now, which know best, the Whigs who resigned, or Mr. Robbins, whose views were defeuted by such resignation ? The ll'higs resigned solely for the cause assigned, and for no other. Tho majority in the Legislature proposed to pass a bill so shaped that a minority of lt!,000 of the people should elect twelve members of Congress, while the majority of 10,000 of the people should elect but nine members : or placing the majority of the people at 11,000, then that majority should elect but seven members, while to the minority would be secured fourteen members! The bill, if passed, would have operated a fraud upon the majority of the pcoplo ; and the Whigs, to whose custody the rights of this majority of 10,000 freomen wero committed, resigned their scats and restored their official power buck to tho people, who could best protect their own rights by saving from desecration the power of the ballot box. I believed then, and still believe, that the Whigs were morally bound to take tho course they did. What right had they to hold on to official station, given them by tho pooplo, to be exercised for their benefit, when so doing would permit a gross, an admitted fraud, to bo consummated against Uie rights and interests of the people? Justly could the people have blamed the Whigs for a courso ao craven. A solemn feeling of obligation to my constituents constrained me to acknowledge the propriety of the step taken by tho Whigs. They resigned to prevent a fraud upon the rights ot a majority of the people of tho Slate of Ohio. But, says Mr. Robbins, these fifty-two Whigs have not told the truth : thero was another reason which led them to resign, tho fear of a re-churter of the banks. I will soon show how utterly false this pretenco is. In the first place, I assert, as a fact, that no Whig dreamed that there wus any dcaign of passing any kind of a bill to re-charter a siuglo bank. Several of Uie majority of tho late Legislature were pledged to voto against all banks. Taylor, of Licking, is so hostile to corttorations, Uiat be refuses to voto for a charter even for a Church or Academy. There are oUiers equally rabid against bank corvorulions. Now, Uien, bow could tho majority pass hank churters of any kind ? 1 know they could nut do it. Nor is Uiis all. The wholeof tlie Inst annual session had been pormilted to pass without doing any thing for banks. The extra session was to have been closed in Uirec days, and nothing had as yet been done on Uiis subject. Potitions had been presented the first week ol the extra session in both branches, had been referred to Uio appropriate committees, and up to the time of Ute resignations the committees had made no report in favor of the petitions ; and the House committee, as I am told by one of its members, had never been called tngcUicr. A bill also bad been introduced by Mr. Sharp to extend ohartera under Lothnm'o bill, so called t this had also been referred to Ute House committee near a week before, and tho coinmitteo hud never been called together to consider of it. Further: Mr. Taylor, of Licking, aaid, in Uie Senate, on a resolution to print extra copies of the Bank Commissioner's Re'iort, Uiat this question of banks was to bo referred to the decision of tho people at Uie coming election. Now, willi these facts before them, how could any man havo supposed Uiat Uio majority designed lore-churter any banks at that session ? As a fact, know Uiat the Whigs, when Uicy resigned, had not Uio remotest idea thnt the majority designed to do any siitli thing; though, wo well believed, and then predicted, that this pretence would be put furlh to cover up tho enormity of the fraud which Uie Tin Pan hud determined to perpetrato. It was not till after the Whigs had resigned, that we ever heard of any design to extend tho charters of the banks, even under Lstham's humbug bill of last winter. Alter Uio resignations, Mr. Hatch reported back tho bill of Mr. Sharp to extend charters under Lstham's bill, which Mr. I lamer has effectually annihilated. No alteration of it was proposed. To pass such a bill, then, was to do a useless act, was, as Mr. llamcr says, to refuso tu mako safo and sound banks. No bank had ever agreed to come in under LaUiain'a bill There wore but tlireo days of tho session left. Now, a bill has to bo read on three scvpral days in each House. This bill had not psased tho lower House: how, then, the majority could have passed the bill, is more than 1 can soc. Hut this idea of enacting a banking system fur Uie State of Ohio in three days, when tho majority had not been able to do so for four months, is, of itself, t palpablo absurdity.This, therefore is all pretence. Tho people, if they wish for sound banks according to Mr. limner's views, and with whoso views, in this respect, I agree, must aend a different set of men to the Legislature. Hanks or no banks is the issue. The candidates being nominated by tho lvcos aro mostly hard money men. In Cincinnati, Hatch and Ewing have been dropcd on suspicion of being in favor of banks, and Ihnroiigh-going hard money men aelecled. Such is tho caso all uver tho State. Let ovory man, then, who w-ishes for good banks, come nut from lcufoco dictation and go for men pledged to carry tint Uioir viows on the subject of the currency. Let tho people also put Uieir iron heel on the tlcapoiiam of Uie l"in Pan, a machine whereby a few arc enabled to control the many, to tho ruin of all. Yours, &c, A: c., SIMEON NASH. Ilevolsttionnry. It is said that the resignation of the Whig members was a Jtevolutionnry movement Not so. It was to prevent a llmlul'mn that it waa done. It is a fundamental principle of our government thai tho majority shall rule. Any course of action Uiat goes to take that power to rule from the majority is Htn-lutionary. It strikes at the fundamental principles upon which our government is bssed. If the attempt to take Uiis power from tho majority is successful, there is a Revolution already consummated. This is a Republican government It cannot be a Republican government any longer Uian Uie majority aro permit-ted lo rule when Uie majority are defrauded of Uiat right, Uio government ceases to be Republican and becomes an oligarchy. The Locoforoa in this State havo by fraudulent apiKirtioninents made the attempt to lake from the majority of the people the power to govern. This attempt waa JtViofiifi'onnru. In Uie Legislature of thia State they have not only made the attempt but Utey have been successful in it while Uie majority of Uie people have been one way, the opponenta of that majority, havo by fraud held Uie political power. Then, as far as Uie government in Una State is concerned, the Locos have not only committed a Hen-tidionary act by attempting to take from tho majority their power, but have actually consummated a jVrro-furion, aa far as they havo been successful in their attempt to deprive tho majority of Iheir rights. They attempted to carry nut this Itnvtutionaru movotnent in our representation to Congress, as well as in our own government It was to prevent this, Uint the Whigs resigned. The resignation then, was nol a Knvlutionary act, but it was to prevent tho consummation of a' lUvot.t Tiort which would havo weakened if not have sundered Uie ties Uiat bind Uie people to Uio government Marin Mr. Two of Iho Tyler organs havo gut to loggerheads. As a specimen, tako Uio following Ironi Bennett's Herald: " On ! nit ! nit ! John Jones, of the Mndinonian, has slopped exe hanging his paper fur the Herald, he cause we think him a fool. I he loss is only equal to a few tnonUifuls of milk and water. Wo can easily balance Uiat account" THURSDAY EVENING, SEPT. 88, 1612. Liberty of Speech denied by Ihe Exclusive Friends mt Lae and Order. Whsil are we coming lo t We aro afraid that Uie new bom zeal of tho Loco Focos in favor of tho observance and preservation of the rules of law and order, is destined to an ephemeral existence. It blazed up brightly for a short period, but already its flame seems to be flickering like an expiring taper in its socket. ' Among the host of our true and working friends in the eastern part of the Slate, is a young gentleman of tho name of John A. Bingham, who resides at Cadiz, Harrison Co. Within a year or two Mr. B. has been taking rather an active and prominent part in politics, and this summer he is devoting himself with a feeling of patriotic fervor to the advancement of Uio republican principles professed by the Whig party. We have no acquaintance with Mr. Bingham's powers as a public speaker, but we have noticed for some time past, that his efforts in Uie good cause were drawing down upon his head a large share of the bittor and malignant vituperation of the small fry of the Loco Foco press, and concluded thence that they were at least respectable and that he was rendering efficient service. Mr. B. recently attended a Whig meeting at Now Philadelphia, which he favored with a speech that seems to have excitod an unusual commotion in Uie Ixhso Foco camp. Ho ia threatened with personal violence, by Uie new made converts tu law and order, if he ventures into the county again, to address a political assembly. Hoar tho Loco Foco organ at New Philadelphia:" lie llingham is a disgrace to community a firlcd, stalking peslilcncc dial should not lie sulfcred lo taint Ihe politic alniocplicre. And if be ever again altempls lo intuit die Democracy of Tuscarawas, with Iiin hrolliel slang, we guiir. mine him A COPIOUS SIIOWF.ll OF FUGS WITH DUADt.'lllt'KKNSlN'Kiu." We believe Uicro is an old-fashioned instrument in force, in this State, which secures to every individual in the Coniinonwualth who has not forfeited his rights by the commission of an infamous crime, tho " liberty of speech and of the press." We lcavo it to tho reflecting and intelligent portion of our citizens to determine how fur the lenders of the Loco Foco party are vindicating their claims to be considered the exclusive friends of law and order, by Uireats to assault an individual in tho performanco of what he considers to bo a duty to his political brethren and associates. Such a menace as Uie above, in our judgment, defines any thing but a very chivalrous regard for Uioso privileges for which our fathers poured out Uieir blood. Alnrmed nl l.nsl. Wo havo been told, that Shannon has been resting on his oars, in Uio perfect conviction that Judgu King, on the one hand, and Dr. Miller on tho other, would abstract so much from the Whig vole of 1810, that nil danger of defeat has been put fur offi Wo suspect the worthy fugitivo from Virginia justice, with the man who goes by the name of the "Ohio gong," at Washington, are getting over their security, and begin to feel thnt they have something lo do, if they mean to save their bacon. Accordingly Uicro is a considerable hurrying to and fro, and an unwonted agitation among tho leaders, as if the Whig thunder which seems to be rolling in every part of the horizon, had just waked them out of a deep slumber. Allen has been despatched into the West and South West, on "a fearful undertaking," as tho Statesman pronounces it, Shannon hos gone North, and that young cub of "democracy " as Col. Mcdill is conceived to be, is to make himself generally useful as occasion may require. Doubtless they havo been visited with somo sort of a premonition, that every thing is not quite as safe as could havo been wished, snd an effort ia now to be made to retrieve their failing circumstances. We Uiink they will find it an up hill business. Let our friends be on Uieir guard. Vigilance, perseverance, courage and determination will conduct us to a glorious victory.

Thero is certainly a sensible improvement lit the small amount of business doing ; and where no posi live chango ia observable, there is Utal better feeling, that returning confidence, which is Uie harbinger of belter times. It is lliu starling point Uie first step towards a Uiorough piwperily. It will revive anil infuse new energy into Ute languishing interests of the great West Although this great measure was obtained and secured at Uie expenao of the Land Distribution lull, nevertheless it was sacrificing to Uie whims of a isortidious Executive, a lesser for a greater good. But Uio people of Ohio will not bo discouraged at iho defeat of this great cardinal principle ul 1 8111. I hey, in connection with Uieir Whig brethren of other States, havo lhe power to set Uus mailer right and through their representatives to remove lhe difficulty and a steady, patient, and resolute porsever-anco at the ballot box, will soon accomplish it. Much credit is due to the patienco and persevering enurgy of a Whig Congress in bringing about this salutary measure amid embarrassments and difficulties, such as novcr before beset a deliberative body. The Locos are again al Uicir old game of brag which Utey attempt to conceal under Uie cry of persecution. The charge of Pipe-laying comes with a bad grace from a party who introduced Uio system into the Stato, and tu whom it owes its paternity. Tho Whigs understand Uio game, and having the cards, that is, tho moral and numerical strength, we will not bo defrauded and cheated out of our rights. All wo want and what no human power can prevent, is a fair and candid expression at the ballot boxes. Tho W higs of old Hamilton, Uie battle ground of tho Stato, are wido awake, and would caution their fiiends in oilier counties to bo on Iheir guard. Our opnents aro becoming desperate, and tiro hatching sumo nefarious plot by which to per-ielti.Uc Uieir wer obtained by fraud and villainy. We have meetings nightly, and Uicy weto never better attended. Since I wrote you last in addition Ui our own apoakers, wo have had HcNitmcg, of Dayton, Camprkll, Debs, and Mii.i.iuan, of Hamilton, and Clarkc, of Clermont H of whom matlo ell'ec-live speeches to lurgo and enthusiastic audiences, Tho spirit of IH1U is about to be eclipsed. The Dayton Convention is to be the Lion of the campaign. Extensive preparations are making to go up in large bodies from Una city. We have resolved to go in squads of !0 and 5(1, and provide our own tents ami provender. And I would suggest the same arrangement to the Wluga of other counties. Our Dayton friends will no doubt provide liberally and bountifully l but my impression is, that there will nut bo more Uian mom aiillicicnt for our Whig brethren from Uio adjoining States and from distant counties of our own Statu. Hence the propriety of Ute arrangement I suggest I am informed that aev-eral of our Military Cumpanies havo chartered canal bonis to go up on Uio 2Sth. ' It is feared that Brother John carries too much steam in speaking of Whig gatherings, and unless he opens his safety vslvo he will collspso about Uie time tho Dayton Convention comes off. You had better suggest to some uf Uie (irannios of his party to deliver him of a little pulp before that time, and if possible prevent such an awful catastrophe. HAItllY.

FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 23, 1842. Bcmevnl f ihe Wnrecn of Ibe Prnitcnllnrr Mr. Dewey's Ht'port in Ihe sjcnnle. Wo surrender a largo portion of our paper to-day, to the Report of Mr. Dewey, made in the Senate on the hut day of the extra session the printing of which, the most of the Lam foco Senator! toted to suppress ! No right-minded citizen of the State can road the evidence disclosed by the examinations of the committee, without experiencing a deep sense of shame and indignation, that a high public functionary slruuld bo found guilty of the practice of uch disgraceful and criminal frauds, and that they should have been carried on for so long a period without detection and the application of a remedy. Yet whilst this system of swindling was going on, no man prated more of his " democracy," or was lauded higher for his attachment to the party, than Van Hook ! At the very moment lie was appropriating the peopled money to his private uses which in a " poor man's " case, would be called plain ttealing the State Printer was loudly boasting that he enjoyed the honor of his friendship ! Truly, they wore par nobilefratrum ! And when his peculations had become so open and notorious, that the Directors of the Penitentiary could not but choose to dismiss him, they sent him forth with a certificate that he had managed the institution for the advantage and interest of the State! And what sort of a man, has been appointed to fill his placo ? Let the publications that have boen made respecting his conduct in another capacity furnish the answer. But after all, Van Hook is only the victim of circumstances. He Is not a whit more culpable than those of his associates who are still rioting upon the spoils and "fea.iriin"of office. His abstractions of the money and property of the State, is only the game of the "rjunssi quiru " over again. His certificate of good character, is only the resolution of a legislative committee in a new form, that his u conduct sheds additional lustre upon his former reputation." They are all alike Van Hook, Modary, Orough, Stuihlen, Spencer and the rest, and if the people intend to put a stop to swindling and peculation, the whole tribe of vampiros must be turned adrift. A Voice from tho. Alhuille. The Boston Atlas of the 15th instant contains the interesting proceedings of the Whig State Convention, assembled at Funeuil linll, for the purpose of nominating candidates for the office of (jovernor and Lieut. Governor. "The Whigs of tho Old Bay State," suys the Atlas, " have every reason to be proud of, and to congratulate themselves upon, tho glorious spirit that was manifested by tho noble gathering of tho tmn-henrted Whigs who assembled yestcriluy in Old Funeuil Hall, to consult together on the welfare of our Country, and the Commonwealth. Never, oven in 1810, havo we witnessed any tiling to exceed the xoal, enthusiasm and unanimity that every where prevailed. But one mind but ono spirit, seemed to animate the whole. The whole proceedings were tho spontaneous, unanimous prompting of freemen, without dictation and without any extraneous influence." Governor Davis and Lieut. Governor Hull were nominated for a re-election in November, with great cordiality and enthusiasm. But the point of greatest interest in tho proceedings was the nomination of HENRY CLAY for President, and Hohkst John Davis for Vice President, In the canvass of 1844. The manner of these nominations are thus given in tho Atlas: " Mr. Nrwrnrr, of Pillsfiefd, Hid thai he should preface the suggestion he wiu sihiuI lo make with no attology. Tlie Whig-i thrtmghrsut the ctstntry demanded that this aorit-ii! Commonwealth should lake Ihe lead in the good cam, end the time-hallowed anil steed-hallowed plare in winch thi'V were assembled, waft a fit spssl for Iho nomination he wnt alsout to proKMe. He moved that lite Convention thoitlil isrocecd In isnminnte a President and Vice President or the United Slates for die csssuing term. Thia motion waa adopt, od. and thu mm of HKaifiV. CLAY, ssf keouirky. iituue. dinlcly echoed aod re-echoes! from nil parts of the Hall, and waa received with uemendoua and long-continued abouu of congratulation. ' Vhcn the first burst, of applause bad sulssitled, the white-haired veteran, Kbkskxvr CrouGH, proponed nine cheers and, taking off hit hat, set the canmile himself, which, it need hardlv he added, was followed with immense enthusiasm. "John davis was then nominated lor Vice President, anil this nomination was confirmed liy equally hearty, long continued, and enthusiastic applause.1' Massachusetts is therefore in the field. She echoes hack the shout sent up by the freemen of Ohio! That both States will perform their wholo duty in 1813, as well as in 1844, is not to bo doubted. Under the eanncr inscribed with the names of Clay and Davis, names that aro every where kindling the fires of patriotic enthusiasm in the hearts of the people, tho Whigs of both States will overwhelm all opposition. Another gosse or l.nw onsl Order! We aro informed that a gentleman of this city, high in tho esteem and confidence of tho Loco Foco party, in a speech at Uio Johnson Dinner last evening, exhorted his friends to "arm themselves " fur the final issue, if they believed the Whigs would succeed in carrying the State at the coining election for he said tliey would have use for their veations. What desperate deeds are tho Gerrymandcrera bent on next ? Do they expect to frighten any body by swelling words ? We know it is hard work for the blood-suckers of tho treasury to give up their places, but Uio voice of tho people wills it, and they must succumb. "Am tiismsxiviu," forsooth I How much of the respect of tho community, is a man entitled to, who can give utteranre to a aentiment that points directly to anarchy and blood-shed? And what should the pooplo say to a party, whose leaders talk openly of resistance to the constitutional expression of the public will, through the ballot boxes? An OdsHly, Old Diogenes, of the Boston Courier, is in a perfect fury because Uie Whigs are every where uniting upon Clay fur Uie Ptesidoncy. Ho says Clay ought to have been nominated and elected years ago now tho Whiga aro just coming to Uieir senses. The old curmudgeon is really in a rage, because the Whigs seem to bo doing with t trill, just what he has long desired Uiem to do. It's amusing to see a man snapping liko a turtle at his own nose. Dranenetrnlioai Mason I, letting. "Petticoat" Allen went to Ncwsrk to mako t soooh o.i Tuesday, but it waa like goingwool-gathering to come back shorn. The expected mootings was almost a total failure. A procession waa attempted, which conaisted of itDO persons, all told. Tho whole affair was destitute of spirit and has only had Ute effect to expose the weakness of Uie "hard-money " clans.

After Iho Convention was duly organited, on mo-lion, SRAMtHr Forii, our Isle Senator, was nominated hy acclamation for re-olecUon. A motion was Uien made to proceed to Uie nomination nf a Representative by ballot 1- 1- Adams, Eq., of Dover, arose and aaid, that previous to the resignation of the Representatives, the Whigs of several township had fixed upon James A. Unions, Esq., aa their candidate for tho legislature; but Uint act had put a different face umn political matters, and Ihey fell, as Mr. Briggs did, that they ought In sustain their Hepresentalivti. Mr. B, was Ihcn railed out, and asked tn stato his views to the Convention. Ho arose and aaid, that lie Imped Uie Whigs would nominate Mr. Thomas M. Ks llxv, and send him bark to Columbus, endorsed by a majority of 800. That however gratifying it would be to him to receive Uie nomination from the Whigs of Cuyahoga, under the existing circumstances he should he more gratified at the nomination and election of Mr.' Kelley, and he desired that Mr. K. should be put in nomination, not by ballot, but by acclamation. The members approved of the suggestion of Mr. B, and Mr. Kelley was nominated for re-election by acclamation, without a dissenting twice. The other officers you will get in the Herald. The greatest unanimity of feeling prevailed among the delegates. Several excellent resolutions were adopted. The banner, inscribed with the names of CLAY and DAVIS, was flung to the breeze; Con-win, it was resolved, llmidd be elected a "Clay Club " was formed j Col. Whittlesey elected President, with Vice Presidents in each township. A. A. Bliss, Esq., of Lorain, was called upon, and addressed the Convention in a very able manner for about an hour and a half, relative to the proceeding! of the Locos in the Legislature. Mr. Briggs was called for, and made short speech, giving a report of " doings " down South. Ho gave a cheering account of Whig prospects at the South, and told the Whigs that the " Reserve " was pledged for 8000 majority for Corwih. The Whigs of the Reserve are arousing. They are putting on their political armor, and they will be ready for the contest on the 11th of October. Fear not fur the Yankees, they will do their duty, and rally nobly, gloriously, for the rights and interests of the people. Ohio is safe. The greatest excitement exists here among men of all parties at the reported appointment of B. Andrews as Post Master in this city, in the place of A. Burker, Esq., one of the most faithful, efficient, and honest officers and men in this world. Mr. Andrew! could not get three votes in this city for the office ; and all tho strength that John Tvler adds to his of- fict-teeking party by this miserable appointment, he is welcome to. un, shame on such a President! But he has no shame no sense. Yours, Sic, CUYAHOGA. For die Ohio State Journal Mr. Editor : As the dissolution of the late Le-gislnture is a subject of general remark and discus sion, permit me through the medium of your paper, to mane a tew uric! remarks on trie subject In attempting to analyze this subject, it seems to naturally divide itself into these three propositions : 1st. ('un a minority of a legislative body sufficient to destroy a quorum, resign their office :n order to defeat the passage of any law ? And indly, If they enn, are they justifiable under ant nVcttrnjinnrei, in so doing ? And Silly, If thev are, was the circum stances under which the Whig members of the late Legislature ressigncd their scats one of tint character?Tho first proposition seems to need no proof, inasmuch as (here is notion? in the Constitution or laws of Uio United States, or State of Ohio to prohibit it j und inasmuch as the right of an individual member to resign Rt pleasure, has never been questioned in the General or Statu Government, it would be difficult to say that one, two, or a dozen in succession nmy resign, but the last one which would destroy a a quorum should not have the same right as those that preceded him. But why attempt to reason on a proposition that needs no reasoning one that tins been demonstrated before our eyes and where is tho preventing power? To prove the second proposition, that is, that they ore jiiHtitinble in extreme cases, (and nono contend Unit they are, except in extraordinary cases) let us suppose thnt the majority of any Ohio Legislature should determine to pass a law giving to each of themselves filly or a hundred dollars a day for their own services, Uiere is no way to prevent its passage hut by a sufficient number of honest members re signing. Our Executive could have no power in me premises ; ne nns no power to veto any act tlie majority may pass ; and the case could not be brought before the judiciary; they would only have to get their order from Ute Auditor, call on the Treasurer, ant) pocket Uicir cosh. And hence ouronlv safety would depend upon the resignation of an honest minority. (By the way, however, I am no friend to the exercise of Executive vetoes and am satisfied with our Constitution that does not give Uie power, believing thst power was only designed to be used in extreme cases, and as a check to corrupt legislation.) This a uui one amongst a tnousana supposaoie cases in which it would certainly be the duty of the minority to resign their seats, and thereby save the State. it appears to me that by these few remarks 1 have fully established both the power and the duly of an honest minority in extreme cases to resign their seats to prevent usurpation, or corrupt )rrinirt. It now only remains to examine whether the i...utisucea-iiniier which the minority of the late Legislature resigned, was of a character to justify the measure. On this, a difference of opinion, evon amongst Whigs, may exist Some, in politics, as in religion, an dus posed to bear any injury without resistance j whilst others believe it their duty to actively contend for Uioir rights. That all legislation should be imoartisl. dointr e- qual justice to all parties and sects, is a proposition so ptain ana so just, mat none wiu deny it (speaker Spalding oxcepted) whatever their practice may be to the contrary ; and yet I have met with no one, even amongst tlie Democrats, (so called) that will fur a moment claim that Byington'a bill, that caused tho dissolution of tlie Legislature was impartial, or did equal justice to Uie political parties. The State being nearly equally divided on the question of tariff, and anti-tariff; land distribution, andanti-distribution (though I trust a majority in favor of tlie former) the districts were so arranged in this bill as to give to the tariff and distribution party six or seven votes in congress on utese questions, whilst too anil party would liave fourteen or fifteen, (to say nolhinrr of the inconvenient and ill shaped form of the districts.) luiieieai iimo oujeci, no manticatiy unjust wss me motive of the resigning members. Whetlier they were justifiable or not, is now before the people ; but whatever may bo public opinion on that one isolated question, does not effect the Whig party aa a party, nor their general principles, for aa before observed, perhaps some very good but non-resisting snugs may uoi approve or uie resignation, while they heartily approve of the measures designed la he protected by the resignation. . The strange kind of bombast that constantly appears in that paper called the Statesman, sometimes denying Ihe power, and at other times the propriety of members reaign- mi;, aim nrawuog out aa it were at ine top ot its voice "7Vm'ors" "TYro-sort" "Tmaiosj" and all llmt kind of aillv stuff, has induced one who is not in the diatom of writing for Uie public eye, to take thia, as lie thinks, candid viow of the subject. I The Jackson sinsl H nvrrly Hirelings. The good people of Juckaon and Pike counties, it seems, have resolved lo have a couple of jubilees "on their own hook," as we aay in the VVeat Their nitV may be found in our paper j and we trust it may bo honored by the attendance of hundredsof Whigs good and true, from the neighboring counties, on Uie davs designated. Our private advices from Jackson are lo the effect that the men who have heretofore supported tlie Locofueo ticket there, have become heartily sick of the llrniigh and Medary " Bank Reform," Biipported by liyington, James and Karshner last winter, which lias ruined and made scarce our currency. A word or two of comfort from men who havo alwaya protesti d against tho ruinous measures of those currency tint era, put in at this lime, will be in good season. II lhe men on Salt Creek do not wish to sell their pine or popular next year for lese than a dollar or lifty cents, they will unite hot and heavy against Uie hard money men Byington and Johnson. And Uien, our patriotic Whig friends of Pike, what shall we say of Uiem ? Words can scarcely do jus lice to their merits, for Uie hearts of all of Uiem are filled with Uie "true fire of the flint" Let its all go to Waverly, end give them t bumper. ChiUicoth Uaxellt. From Use Sieuisrnville Herald. The Hnnb mt Knglnag rsxnlng. Ilia honor, (,Snnttr Tsppan,) in his last paper, with apparent exultation, gives Uie following piece of information. We give it in bis own words : " It is said that the Rank rsf Knglaml is atsotil estsbUshiiur a branch in New Orleans. So sure il ia lhal if caalal is lelt lo find its own level, uulrainntclcd hy legislation, II will go where is llsu greatesl demand, ami Iho best jslarr for il." So Uiis exemplary Democrat, Uila hard money man, this honorable Senator, who could not bear Iho idea of a II. Slalea Bank, directed and controlled by our own ritixeus, seems willing to countenance Uio establishment in our country, of branches of Uie Bank of Englond ! I Some years ago, English cns-ital, invested in our banks, was sullicient to swallow up our free institutions and establish a monarchy it wns too horrihlo even to talk about but now, the samo folks who ao declaimed, can look wilh cum plnrency upon Ihe importation into this country, of lhe whelps of the great mnnsler itself, Ihe Bank of England ? W hirh is now tho British party ? Surely the fikies will not follow this kind of lead. They will hardly consent tn put down our i,wn bsnks and bring in branch of the Bank of England in their stead, under Uio plea Uiat capital will find its level. I'pnn this principle, monarchy itself may be imported hore from Europe there is more of Utal amclo there than is needed by Ihe people. |
