Ace. We did not notice at the time, the comments of the Cincinnati Enquirer, upon Gov. Corwin'sMea-aag-e, in which the editor, with the characteristic decency of the school to which he belong, charges him with hypocrisy for his expression of "gratitude to God fur the various blessings which have been conferred upon the people of this State, during the past ye:tr. The Enquirer, referring to the first passagui ot the Message says : " There is nothing here which be trays the compirathn at our liberties !, the enemy of our holiest institutions, or a contempt of the pop ular will." &c. "The sentiments are those which every good man cherishes every patriot entertains;' but Gov. C. approved of the resignation in August, and cannot therefore be sincere ! How conclusively is the cose made out ! The Enquiror remarks ngain: MIIow will hit) grntilitde to God that we have been exempted front intestine commotion, as expressed in his Message, conlnist with that wicked sentiment which he uttered during the latsreanvass, in the county of Tuscarawas, that the people would have been justified, had thy entered lite capital and put all Utt Loco Foco meinben to death !n Style is an important qualification in a public writer, and the specimen above will show what may be expected from the new editor of the Enquirer. A certain class of editors, principally among our opponents, deem invention an indispensable merit, and the Inst quotation cannot fuil of establishing its author's reputation in that line. Time at Wellington, The Letter writers have much difficulty in making their correspondence interesting. The sea of politics is unusually qitiot on the surface, and so it always is before a storm. The correspondent of the Philadelphia U. S. Guzctte closes a recent letter as follows : " You will perceive that thrro is nothing of an exciting character going on here to give interest and rati nuns to the 'sayings and doings at Washington.' On the contrary all is us tame, as spiritless, and as dull as a political meeting alter a defi-ut, culled for We areas anxious them as a surtol official epositioti of the views of that school of politicians to which be has sltarlied himself.

If no "brcezo" ruffles the surface, now, the under currents arc doubtless in motion, and the billows will soon begin to break along the shore.

The two articles in the Old fcicliool Republican of Tuesday, contiin the iisuhI, or rather more than the uhuuI, proportion of misrepresentation and misstatement gross and palpiible. Rut so far as they are intended to affect us personally, we cure nothing about them, and we presume our readers would choose to be spared a repetition of matters that cannot concern the public; and the more especially as we do not deem it nercssary to our exculpution, and would avoid the suspicion of laboring fur our own sclf-cxaltation.

Mr PkaR Sib : I have been promising mviclf to write you almost every day, since 1 came here, but from the general mouolo.iy of things I have not been able lo draw any event thiii would be like to interest yon. The political cauldron continues to bod, but who wdl be found swimming upon iu surface, llenlon, Calhoun, Van Hurrn. or Cai, is yet to tie leveloped. In s lailer gentleman has been making some re cent movements in Ihe Extern Sl,ite, which are not entirely saixlacmry to his Loco l oco Iriemts. Some of them find fault with hit pulling the French institutions, Wiih Mhicli they pteictMi lo tear his opinions are (incurred. My own opinion is, that the contest is narrowed down lo Van Iturcii and Cal houn, and dial the disalfeclion exiting amongst their friends is ftidening every day, and will ulnmiuely Iwcnme a breach, which it wdl bedilmult lo heal. Ihe foigiiMmn of Mr. Cal noun is preparatory in a full avowal of hn ilelermmaiion lo run, alter Ihe llh of Mnrrh. Thit is avowed by his leading organ si Ch-uk-tlnn, and reiterated by Ibe unanimout vole of the l.cgilaiuie of that State, in the adoption of a resolution whirb declares that he has only " withdriwu from the mime dials tortire of Ihe Stale," to devote his talent " upon a mr enlarged arena, to the tretfar of the rW( ( woht." I his diMmcl communication of hm as a candidate, is decis ively disliked by the Van luren men, some of whote k'odcrs openly express their dissatisfaction. Yu saw llenlon' lei ler, tho other day, I suppose, in which he deflates Inmetf lor Van Ihircn, and rumor says he has declared thai be wdl vole tor tiny in prelerenee lo t alhoim. Ot this, however, there is no very good pnwf but il is very certain thai he is mott decidedly opposed to Calhoun, and freely declares that np)iotilion. Ol course, rer teel no micntt or inclination to trrpoe lo accommodate their diflVnnrcs, (ml Jui prnnii these gentlemen io woik out their on difficulties, m ncir own way.

There are a few ol' them who keep up their viit to tho While llmue, rather to enjoy (lie " spo il, ' thaa to pay their devotions to the President. I th.nk, kowevrr, that this is gem-rally confined to the Calhoun men lor il is not doubted that ibey will have the aid of the A dm nistraikm, if it should Iw deemed adviioIOe to drop Mr. Tler, the idea of running bun not being fully alauloned yet.

Sbitusj luangssrsil N. 4 To the Editor of the Ohio State Journal : Sir In my last, I glanced at Ihe practical effects which would follow the introduction of Ihe system recommended in the Inaugural, by an allusion to the present rate of duly collected on American Wheal in Hriiish ports. The official endorsement of these notions can he regarded in no other light, than as a deliberate decision against home industry, and in favor of foreign trade and foreign induitry. The question at , issue is too momentous, aud ihe occasion too solemn, to let it pass away wllli only a casual remark. The Govprnor treats il as an open question, in which we had only in choose what position we would occupy, saying, in so many words ' If we exclude their productions those " of foreign nations from our market, by duties so high as lo " prevent ibetn from selling al a lair profit, ihey will not purchase our productions "when, in truth, we as a nation arc already concluded : Foreign Hrli are already shut against our staples, save that of cotton, which latter Uicy lake not to ohltg uj, but to benefit themselves : There is no "free trade," and the duty of rixty etntt on a hiuhtl collected in a British port on American wheal, furnishes the proof. And yet we arc cautioned by our watchful and considerate Executive, to beware of protecting our industry, lost we offjnil foreign nations, aud prevent them from purchasing our productions ! On grave questions of national policy, a difference of opinion may be expected, in a country so wide and of so diversified interests as ours. Such differences, however, where the) extend beyond detail, should be founded on something more substantial than mere party differences, and least of all should they Iw tolerated when they arise from ignorance. Il is not fur mc to say on which horn Gov. Shannon shall hang. 13ut when wo como to teil his auumpliont by facts, and liis facts bv experience, they dwindle down to a uoiiit so cquivi cal thai ihcre is liiilc left fur a statesman to be proud of. Take the following paragraph, and if il have ant tiling lo recommend it beyond a blind subserviency to Southern policy, regardless of consequences to every oilier interest save that ol ihe slave power and foreign navigation, we shall leave it for outers lo point il out : " A large amount of Ihe wheal of Ohio and Michigan, has " found m way lo England, through the Cmnidas, within the " last few years, by pnying mere nominal duties. This is on " important trade now io ihe agricultural interest of Ohio, nnd. " under favorable commcrnal regulation between the United " States and Great llritaiu, would greatly increase in magni-' tude and imiHirtance. Vet ihi trade, k'o important to us, is in danger of being sacrificed to iho protective policy." Here is a ftct staled in such a way as to rcn-ler it quite ccr- n Hi at Ins hxcellenry did not underhand its leariug; or, ho did, he wa willing lo disguise il by assumptions which not naturally follow. The amount of agricultural produc tions eXjHirted in tho manner above staled, when compared ilh our total surplus, is too small lo be taken seriously into ac count when seeking so to adjust our foreign and dome-tic pol icy as to ensure a compensating return for the agricultural la bor of the country, Even the wheal crop of Ohio, according the Governor s own cxtiniule, amount litis year to twen'y attr mitti iu of bitsh'ls, wiih a surplus for exportation offour teen millions. Now, il apjiears by arlnal cti-tom house returns, thai our average yearly cxwrt of wheat and rlour for l&tf, '37, '38, V and 40, ma le lliro' all the British North American ilouics, amounted only to the sum of 'Hjl,71 1 ! ! For this pitiful return, our home market should be siirnuccd. lint, sny our observing Governor, "uudor favorable cnnij merciol regulation" litis trade would greatly incr jnsc ! Does he know under wli it regulations this trade is now carried on ! he aware that not akblicl of the limited amount which thus iiLitiwav lo England'' is carried in mi American bottom t Or must he lw told thai the "commercial regulation" under hich il pattcs into the Colonics, is dctig:ied expressly lo give mploymeut to British sailors and Britidi shipping al the ex pciiM;nl America T II he (k-ores to sec ihCi a commerce neur it at thu cvjiciiso of every American ml-riMt, let htm run up the Tory flag and declare hiinclf at once in favor of nn en- liikivc Bttirisu SrTt:M. He mny ihon clitun some merit for consistency, and there will le some connexion lelwccn profession and practice. How humiliating is Iho reflection thai tho public ago.ils ol the American people, though ignorance or design, are enraged crippling and destroying American interest. I he laudation af the policy by which England is indicting deadly blows on our navigation, conlrnststxidly with the deprecatory language vouchsafed to tire patriots of the land whoe effort are direC' lest to securing for our productions a market al homo, w inch is itemed m abroad.

Mr. Stanton said ho hoped the friends of Mr. Van Hook would nut inswt on having a committee composed exclusively of his political friends.

The joint resolution, relative to the election of President Judge of the 7lh Judicial Circuit, was taken up and referred to a select committee. Mr. McNulty offered thu following: Jr.w.W, That it is inexpedient to extend the char-ters, or prolong tho existence of any Hank or llank-inrr eornomiiiui. iii this Slate, that have at any ti.nc siis'ndeil specie payments, or violated any of Uio Inws in relation lo HinkillC DrivilcrCS, Mr. Olds said the object of the resolution was to prevent the granting ol any extension wnaiover, as all nr nearly all ot tlio uinxa in tne mate uau impended at aonie time during their curiwralo exist, once. I Io should not waste any words on tho sub ject, but thought the good senso of tho Homo would prevail, and the resolution would not bo adopted. Mr. McNultv said the resolution embodied a piain reposition. The Banking institutions' of the Siato psonlo of this Commonwealth. If he was not gross ly deceivod, the Bigns of the times indicated that the people had set the seal of their condemnation upon these institutions, and wero patiently awaiting tho timo when their corporate existence should cease. The gentleman from Pickaway had been aco-laborer in the cause, had struggled with the Democratic party for the possession of power, and now, when obtained, it was to be used for prolonging the existence of tin banks. What would tho honest mechanic and laboring man who had been plundered by them sny, if told that the groat Democratic victory obtained last fall was to end in such a result? Mr. McN. could see nuthinjj extraordinary in the allusion tn the address put torth last August He believed that had it not been for the resignations, a law extending charters would have been passed, but not with the aid of his vote, however ; and ho would thank his God if no worse measure gets through tho Legislature than Uiut would have Deen. A Daa com prevented him from giving all the reasons he wished to urge in favor of trie resolution, and he had reduced some of them to writing, which ho would ask the Clerk to rosd for the information of the House. The Clerk read something like the following: "Jital Estate PleJgal. "Ono day after date pay to Tho. Huston, or ordor, Fii-Tir Cf.ts. "CirclaitU, StpL 14, lg37. E. B. OLDS. "To ." Mr. Olds said if tho resolution proposed lo suppress shinplastcrs, he hopd it would prevail, but he had understood it differently. Ho was no less anxious to protect tho public trran tho frauds of these institutions, than was the gentleman from Knox. He did not come here to protect the interests of the Btnks but of his constituents. Would the resolution havo the effect of protecting tho interests of the people, or would it itrike ot home a doadly blow ? Suppose those of tho Banks whoso charters expire on the 1st of January, should be compelled at that time to go into liquidation, would nut a call bo made on all their creditors to make immediate payment, and would they not be compelled to do it, as tlio gentleman from Pike would say, "without tho interven tion ot Judicial proceedings?" Tho consequences of such s step must bo apparent to all. Many mil lions ol llank stock are owned out ol trie ntato, aim foreign capitalists would be anxious to withdraw it and their duing so would affect tlio pockets of tho : .7 -.1 ,1.... U..n- A consiHlieius oi every goiiuetntni im inai num. n proposition was now beiorc tho House to extend me timo ol" payment to purchasers of school lands, and salt lands, and could wo not with as much propriety extend tho same relief to tho creditors of Banks ? In lrW he (Mr. O.) was as good a Whig as there was in that House, (although ho might not have nb-sqiiatulatcd,) and had issued shinpl asters, but ho had since given in his adhesion to the Democratic party, and was he for thatacttobo arraigned for judgment now ? What reason was it in favor of this resolution? How diditatl'ecttheDresentqucstion? The people had called long and loud for an extension of the charters ot the hanks, and this nan neen promis ed Ilium by the gentleman trom Knox, in tho address put forth by him last August, but now ho says he will have nothinir to do with them. Could it bo that ho whs sineero in siibscribiiiQ- to the sentiments of that address, or was he doing so for the purpose of making a little political capital lor his party I 1 here was about as much consistency in his argument as the reisons ho had sent to be read by tho Clerk. Mr. Atkinson hrielly opposed tho motion to recom mit, when it was lost !(i to 34. Mr. MeFiirlanrl moved nn adjournment lost Mr. Uvinzton moved to amend the resolution by itrikim' out all after the word "Resolved," nnd inser ting, "that the Judiciary committee bo instructed to report a lull providing lor a grauu nod stay ol executions upon all judgment which have been or may e rendered in lavor ot any Diinu wnose cnaner snau tnire on tho first day of January, lt)l3, or in favor of tho assignees of such bank."

Mr. Walton, from the mnjority of tho committee on Finance, reported back the bill to amend an act i wiln iMtructirni, it was Tost nays 12: a strict party vote ; Mr.Hundcron,(Whig) being absent. On motion of Mr. Ritchie, tho senate toon uptne bill extending the time for making payment of taxes. Mr. Waltun proposed to amend Uio bill by adding another section, applying to non-residents of counties. IjOSL The question being upon ordering the bill to a third reading, Mr. Bartley said he had taken some pains, during the recess, to inquire into tho operations of this bill, n it passed, ne nan icarneu, in conversniiuu .un the Auditor of State, that it would have the cfl'ectto delay distribution of the school fund until March ; which was a very serious objection. Another serious objection would be, that it would have the effect to prolong the sossionsof the Legislature for the requisite data of rnuking appropriations for the year could not come before the Senate earlier than March. These were two of many objections. Mr. Newton waa opposed to the passage of this bill. It was impossible that it could pass and go out before the tune of paying taxes has expired. It might be that some sections of the State needed an extension of time ; but, the proposed relief could not reach them before the expiration of the time for making payment, and consequently not until their accounU with the County Treasurers havo been closed, and there remains no necessity for it As to the permanent provisions of the bill, since temporary relief ia out of the question, he thought the Senate should not hastily pass upon them especially aa it had been remarked that the bill required some amendment. Mr. Hazeltine Baid that as the time for temporary relief had passed, and the passage of this bill waa calculated to have an important bearing upon the financial concerns of the State, ho hoped the committee on Finance would take the subject into consideration, and make a report upon it He therefore moved to recommit tho bill to the committee on Finance.Tho bill waa recommitted, without a count. On motion of Mr. Stauton, the Senate went into committee of the whole, and considered and report-ed back sundry bills, which wero recommitted to standing committees. The resolution of the Scnato appointing a committeo to investigate the books and accounts of Wm, B. Van Hook, lato Warden ol Uie reiuieniiary, ana and the causes of his removal, was returned from the Honso with an amendment Laid on the taulo. The resolution for the election of certain Judges was returned from the House amended by adding an Associate Judge for Uie county ol Bheioy, and a President Judge for the First Judicial Circuit On motion of Mr. Updegraff, the amendment was amended by striking out Associate Judgu for the county of Shelby. Unsuccessful attempts had been made by Mr. Loudon to have the election of the President Judge postponed. On motion of Mr. Bartley, a resolution was adopt-od for printing 3,000 exlra copies of the annual report of tho Directors and Superintendent of the Ohio Lunatic Asylum. The Senate then adjouned until Friday morning, 10 o'clock. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The bill to incorporate tho First Presbyterian Church of Waverly, in Pike county, was read a third time and passed. The bill extending the time of payment to purchasers of school lands, was read a third time, and the question being on its passage, Mr. Ackley mofed to recommit the bill tothecom-mitteu on Ihe'Public Debt, wiih instructions to amend the same by adding a section extending ihe time of payment to purchasers of ministerial lands. Mr. McNulty moved to amend the amendment by including all lands returned delinquent lor me nonpayment of taxes. A long donate ensueu, in wnicn iuesw. niryt Schenck. Atkinson, Fisher, McNulty and Probasco took part in fnvor of the amendment nnd in opposi tion to tho original mil, on tne grouno mar, u wrong to extend relief lo one clans of State debtors to the exclusion of others who were equally entitled to it, and that no distinction existed between tax payers and school land purchasers, which snouio deprive the former from the benefit proposed to be extended to the latter. Messrs. Larwill, Henderson, Okey and McFarlsnd apposed the amendments and supported the original bill, on tlio ground that school land purchaser! were a peculiar class of debtors, owing largo amounts, and that the passage of the bill would not tend to diminish, but, on the contrary, increase tho amount of money receivable from that source, that the lands wore held in trust for the uso of schools, and the Stato waa not entitled to the proceeds of their wiles.

Dr. Linn has been re-elected United Stato Sn-utorfrotn Missouri. stal the action of the House in regard to it, Mr. McNulty replied. Ho had everbeen opposed to prolonging the existence of these swindling institutions, which had already disregarded Ihe law of the State, and of their own being. He wished to reflect faithfully the sentiments of his constituent in reference to Ihis question, and he believed Uie root utioii he had offered reflected the sentiments, not only of hi constituents but of vast majority uf tlio prescribing Ihe duties of County Treasurers, passed March l lull, recommending its passage. Tin bill extends the time tor nuking payment ol taxes, hereafter, until the tirst day of January, previ ous to which time County Treasurers shall nut dis train pripcrty tor non-payment; and provides that sales of lauds for delinquent taxes shall hereafter bo made on tlio second Monday ol January ; Hut County Treasurers shall hereafter make settlement with County Auditors on the last Monday in January, and pay over tho moneys received into the Slate Treasury on the second .Monday of February. Consider-bio discussion followed upon motion of Mr. Birt-ley to indefinitely postpone the bill, in which it waa contended on the ono side that this measure was calculated to throw Uio wholo monetary affairs of the Stato into contusion, without attording llie loast relief to tax-payers at tho present time, which wa tho main reason urged for Uie passago of Uie bill; Uiat it was important to havo a hxed time for making payment not subject to alteration, a giving 13 months this year in which to make payment of taxes would leave but 11 months next year, and thus require an other extension of time ; that improper advantage would be taken of this lenity on tho part of the State ; that not pork growers, or fannors, hut apoculators in land, etc., are Uto delinquents ; lhal the wants ol uio public treasury will not admit of any indulgence; etc., clc. and on Uio other hand, it was urged that the present waa a time of great ciiihsrrassment and distress in monetary concerns; thnt the pork raising district ot the state nre not prepared tn mako payment of taxes until tho time given in Uio bill, when they hnvo marketed their pork ; that purchasers nf pork oven made an instrument of extortion of a proposition to advance amall auiu upon the farmers' pork, aulficient. to pay his tax, on condition Uiat ha will sell Ins pork at a lowor rale, etc. etc. Tho motion to indefinitely postpone was negatived yen 10, nays 85, The question being upon ordering tho bill to i third reading, .Mr. Nash said that it was impossible Uiat the passage of tins bill could afford the least relief to tho tax payer, as, undur tho present laws tho County Treasurers must settlo with tho County Auditors by tho first Monday of January, before Uiis act can pan and reach one-hnlf the counties. The only immediate effect therefore, would be to give tho Treasur rer a mouth lunger tn keep the money in their hands, ami givo Uiem a month longer to goon tlist raining and selling properly. If this was Uie gmil rrtitf gentlemen proposed to give to tho peoplo such rtiirf as tigers bring to lambs he could not go with thorn. Mr. Franklin could not seo the mischief in this bill which oilier seemed to aeo; but he thought it psssago would oirect some pood. Mr. Bartley thought lhat if gentlemen could have a litllo further Uino tn rellect upon tho subject nnd tho provision of tho bill, not one would bo willing to vote for it He then-lore moved to lay Uie bill upon the taltlo.
