Mr. Pugh thought lint if Ihe day fr an sdjourn ment was tiled for the 2lal, it would be impossible In bring the S'iiaie In a vole on Ihe hill which passed the House tins morning, and thus the great tneamire ot the session would he defeated.

Mr Kdson rejoined that he had never vet obtained the praise uf that sheet, and never wished to. Rut tins retort coons from the member from Darke (Mr. Moniorl) with a bad grace, wnen lie is tne very itiiii-vidunl who told me this day that he should vote for the resolution whenever it was taken up. Mr. Moil said he understood that the r Jerks would not be able to pre n .ire all the bills in tune for an ad- joiirnotent next Wednesday. Mr. r.dson asked tne clerk ii anon was tne lact r (The clerk was understood tn say that it would be diii'u-uli, with the present number ) Mr. Ulds autfgesleil that lliat tlilllriiity could be very well remedied by the employment ol more clerks. It was much better thai even a dozen clerks should he employed for three or four days at three dollars per dy, than that 108 men should sit here that additional niiiuhernf days at the same rale of wages each.

Mr. Mott then rose to a question of privilege, fie diihked the treatment which he hud received from the Speaker, and he wished to know whether his rights were purposely disregarded. The members all round him would sustain him in the assertion that he had, in repeated instances, been the first to obtain the floor, and yet the Speaker deprived him n hi rght, and re cognized others He desired to know whether ho should construe this into a personal disrespect t The Speaker remarked that he intended no disrespect to tlie gentleman. There were repeated instances in which a number of members addressed Ihe chair nt the same moment; and the only rule ho could adopt, was to recognize the one whose voice reached his ear first. Hut if the gentleman from Auglaize would observe more order and show lessdisorder, he would get the floor often er. Mo other gentleman has complained of the chair. Mr. Mott. The gentleman front Hrown (Mr. Smith,) and the gentleman trom Clermont (Mr. Norris,) have both complained of the same treatment.

This we regard as a just cause uf congratulation with the people of Ohio, as being decidedly the measure of the session. True, the resolution is not operative, as different days art- fixed for this " conrtiiiiiuialion devoutly tu be wished," by the respective Houses. The resolution as it passed the Senate, fixed H'cdncsJny next, as the time for an anjournmeiit. Tho House elongated the period, by striking out Wednesday, the 21st. and inserting Mon day, the 2iit!i--adding five days to the already long, tedious and unprofitable session. We presume (here will be 110 serious difficulty between Ihe two Houses 111 this diflcrence. It makes lo the State only a difference of about twenty-five hundred dollars, exclusive of stationery, printing and such like contingencies and that is the merest trifle, provided the Legislature will refiain from mischief. And even if tho Senate should refine to agree to the House amendment and tho House should adhere to it still there is reason for congratulation, because then tho Governor could terpose for the people and compel the cormorants lo let go their hold upon thu treasury. Sixteen weeks have already elnpsed since this bo dycame together. All the business which legitimate ly claimed their attention might well have been done in that number of days. There has been, on the pari ol those, some of whom by hook and some by crook obtained seats in the House of Representatives, and have since controlled ils action there has been, we say, on the part uf these and their political associates, the most wanton consumption of time, and the most culpable dereliction of duly. We have not often found ourselves in the mood for lavishing compliments upon tho Whigs of the House; but whenever we have done penance hy spending an half hour in the old State House, we have never failed lo regard Iho Whigs there " more in sorrow than in an per" perfeclly dow- rless for good, and nil their efforts to bring the ses sion to a close, entirely unavailing. Had it not been for following Ihe bad example set by filteen very bad men a little more than a year ago, few would have blamed them for turning their backs on this miserable abortion uf a Legislature, and repairing to their homes. he people, for the last few weeks, have been speak ing in trumpet tones to demand an adjournment. At lust, a reluctant consent has but 11 extorted. There is now a prospect that the present session of Iho Legis lature, commenced in a tragico comico farce, on the Ith of December, lH, will hud a terminus on the 20lh ot March, It'll). Let all thu people say, .linen! Dunk ol'Circluvllle. Wo yield a portion of our space to day to an au Identic statement of the condition of the Hunk of Circleville, partly as an act of justice to those concerned in the management of that institution, and partly with a view of enabling Ihe public to judge of the amount ol credibility due lu idle rumors, and ma licious inuemloes, which may be industriously propagated fr base purposes. We do not feel called upon in our character uf Editors, to vindicate the solvency of this or any other imUitulion. The solvency or iu. solvency of s Hank is a commercial and not a political question. When it shall become the interest of depraved partisans to assnil the character and the business ot MtrchatUs, as a class of people, we have 110 doubt they will do so with as keen a gusto as Ihejr have ever manifested towards a bank, or "the banks " We do not choose to occupy the position of volunteer champion or endorser in either case. Our duties do not require tins at our hands. Hut we know somewhat uf the Mnurce whence proceed these recent assaults upon tho Hank of Circleville ; and we know something of the probity and capacity of I hose who have the management ol its concerns. And we have at least some faint idea of the motiees which influence the present onset, and of the cause which rankles al the bottom of it. In view of all this, we have but to say, that we arc owner uf some of the most desirable real estate in and adjoining the goodly town of Circle, ville; and if any body has apprehensions as to the solvency of the Hank of Circleville, we would cheerfully relieve them of such anxiety, by exchanging such real estate for the notes of that Hsuk, payable in instalments, at six, twelve, and eighteen months alter date.

The bono nf contention which the Locofocos have had thrown among Ihein, by the repeal of the Itlai-k Laws, is rapidly developing symptoms of a con stitutional cough, exhibiting a rottenness of constitution which is surprising lo themselves. Rowland Hill once said : " That the wolves should hark at the sheep is very natural, but that the sheep should bark at each other, is too bad."

Wicked Attempt to Impose a Foul Deception upon the People The Ohio StutuBmau turn ed. Pettifogger. The Stnieaman, a few day ngn, under the head of "An Important case iu point," attempted to show that the case of Gen. Shields, in the Senate of Ibe United States, who was admitted to a provisional sent in that body, pending the contest upon the validity of his election, was precisely the case of Messrs. Pugh and Pierce, in Hamilton county, Ohio. It says : ' General Shields, of Illinois, it waa stated, was ineligible from a fact of a want of naturalization, having been born in Ireland. The question arose as to thu effect ol a certificate of election from the proper oili-cer, and it was unanimously decided, that previous to investigation of the matter, the certificate was tiriinrf. facte evidence of a right to Bent, and Gen. Shields was sworn hi accordingly, to abide the investigation. Tho dishonesty of the Statesman consists in its keeping out of view this fact : Gen. Shields was ad-milled lo his seat, because he hid a prima facie right to it, derived from a certificate of election in accordance with the law undtr which it purported to have been issued, Messrs. Pugh and Pierce, on the contrary, presented certificates winch ifcrs nor in accordance uith. but contrary to the taw under which they purported to have been issued. It was the certificate and the uic, which made Gen. Shield ' prima facie right ; it was Ihe certificate ai'ainst the late which rendered the claims of Pugh and Pierce illegal. So that, instead of the decision of the U. 8. Senate bring against the action of the Whigs of the Ohio Legislature, il, in fact, confirms it. I our weeks in the Legislature of Ohio, were spent in a bold, ferocious, unconstitutional and unfortunate ly successful attempt to forco upon the Legislature of Ohio two members, claiming seats in contravention o tho very law by which the tenia were created. The fmil wrong by which ft whole State was, in effect. dis frauchised, was at length consummated, by the aid 0 a foul treachery. Every clement of political wrong, crime and treason, was invoked, and force and threats of bloodshed and civil war were openly made, in furtherance of private plot and bargain. Whether tho party that has been thus guilty in the eyes of God, and disgraced in the sight ol humanity, will succeed in rendering its power perpetual, remains to be seen. lhere is yet something to be hoped for in the acts of our intelligent people something to be pruyed for at Ihe throuo of a merciful Creator. Telling Tales. Bro. Thompson, of the Ok-ntangy Gazette, is so un fortunate as to find himself a Member of the House of Representatives; and being subject to "the balance of power," is unable to extricate himself from that po sition, His patience has been severely taxed for six or seven weeks past. Ho can, however, seek relief hy communicating hia griefs to his readers ; and in doing so un weunc"Uay last, lie discourses thus : " I am in hopes tlfatan adjournment wil! take olace soon, perhaps ihe first of next week it may not take place, however, till the 2utli. The business is being rapidly disposed of, and although " the Democracy as a body resist every effort lo fix upon a day of ad journment, there are individual members of the party woo un- uecoiuing restive ana win ere lung join thu uiga in unngiug me sesiion 10 a close. " It lias been toillid exceedingly dithciilt, during tho past few days of unpleasant weather, lo keep a quorum in Ihe H"use,and among the tnnst prominent opfio-nrntt of a sine die adjournment are those who are f ound absent at nrarlti every roll call, and they not unfreouent ly move a recesa or adjournment before Ihe House has been in session hull an hour. 1 hrse ellorls generally fail, but the motions consume. conndcraUetimtt and are probably made for that purpose."' Ihesc non-workmg and non-adjourning chaps havo finally been brought to the sticking point. They will now be settling their accounts at the Treasury, and in week from now will be bracing the muscles of their faces to enable them to (00k upon their constituents. And the people may well implore that they may " ne ver look upon their like again." Opinions ol Mr. Cluys Letter. The Richmond Ezaminer, ft Locofoco paper, thus speaks of Mr. Clay'a letter on the subject of emanci pation : " Henry Clay's true character now stands revealed. The man is an Abolitionist.
