We received this day, (Jin. 17,) from a friend in Washington city, a copy of the " Proceedings and Debates of tlio Senate of trie Urn U'rt Stales," of the date of December 20 only ii7 days from Washington eity ! Glory to Cure Johnson ! A Iltiuk Convent We can. hardly lind words suinuiently strong to ex press the pleasure which we fuel at the fact that our neighbor of the Statesman hu commenced a aeries of ketches of the career of locofoco bankers and locofoco banking institution, with which this State was so seriously troubled and by which the people of the Stale were so desperately cheated a few years since. The whig piper have time and again devoted theircoluinns v to the very exposures which are promised in the Statesman but the locofoco ban lien were then in full tide of successful operation, and the papers of that party were slew in lending a hand to protect the public from the in. Late as it is these lucofocu institutions having Ion if since exploded this exposing of the decaying bonus of the "pels" of locofocoistn will havo a good effect; as tho contrast furnishes the strongest srgu-mcnt which could be used to support tho prebiiiit banking system of tho State. Wo begin to have a suspicion tli m our neighbor's proximity to one of the banks has been the means of mollifying somewhat his dislike ; to bank ' accommodations ;" and,. as a consequence, I he takes this rather round-about way of fighting their battles. We trust lie will not be like most of the new I converts too hot and eager in the cause ; fur should such be tho case, the public mind might be disturbed ty the suspicion that another era of locofoco bank'ig was dawning; and distrust would take the place of the perfect confidence which is now felt. We offer this advice with the utmost good feeling; and we doubt iiutit will bo received kindly. Lest our neighbor, in the trepidation of his new feeling, should forget some of the instances in which tho financiering of his party-friends got the better of tho people's packets, we will call his attention to a few eases which may serve to furnish, if well dished up, the ground work of capital " ower true tales." Among tho best, perhaps, is tho case of an institution in a neighboring town, known as the "Akmj Bank of Circle ville." If his knowledge in relation to that institution is deficient, we would refer him for the facts to a gentleman who sits on the Uft hand side of the Sun-ate ho who recently " died for want of honest principles," but who was more recently an aspirant to the ollice of Governor. This gentleman knows all the facts, and " could a tale untold " that would put your " wild cat" bankers to the blush. Next in order would come tliu case in which a locofoco Slate Auditor was paid live hundred dollars to obluin from a locofoco Governor a proclamation to let on foot an establish ment "known and designated" as tho Hank-' EiF.ciiTivK Powrit. The Washington Union con. tains i list of army promotions, occupying some five closely printed columns. Pirns the "Ten Regiment Bill," and the list would be doubled. The peculiar fitness of one of the nominees, Mr, John McPherson,a Consul at Genoa, is thus set forth by the Richmond TiuiHS." Mr. Jefferson said it was worth a trip across the Atlantic to see Harper's Ferry; it would be better worth it to see Mack,' in court dress, in Genoa. If he gain no distinction abroad, then may the whole diplomatic galaxy in Europe pale their ineffectual fires.' We know not how the vote was in the Senate upon his continuation, but if Senators could have ouly witnessed his memornl le performance of dying a second time, in Richard HI, when the audience encored t op position would have held its peace. TUESDAY EVEK1NO, January 18, INJ8. Dodging tho (lunation In the proceedings of the House, yesterday afternoon, will be found some resolutions introduced by Mr. 1'khhv of this county. In these resolutions, it will be observed, is involved but just one question opposition to the further extension of the institution of slave ry. An effort was made to obtain n rote upon the in yesterday ; but the Locofoeos were unprepared to com mil themselves and they wanted time to think about it! Can it bo possible that there are men in our Legislature who havo yet to form an opinion upon tine question, which has been before the people, in some shapo, from tho day of the formation of our government to the present lime ? Can such be the fact? It cannot and tho only desire of these doughfaces was to avoid a voto nn Din qiiCMlioii, fur fuT a commit) nl for slavery would injure the party in this State ; and a committal ugninst it, would injure them in the south. In this they follow the course adopted by their State Convention. To give these doughfaces time la prepare themsclvri to vote, tho resolutions were laid on the table to bo printed. When they are again taken up, we hope, for the character of the State, there will not be a single voice against thein. There should he no difference of opinion among freemen on this question ; one emphatic no should come from till the North, against the extension of since territory. To the Editor of the Journal : Will yon please explain to me, Mr. Editors, being hound, as you nro aware, to know and to explain everything, how it happened that the name of Senator Allen was not allowed to appear among the heroes-civil and military who were toasted at Uie tsth of January Licnf.ico supper? Have the affections of the "toiling million" been weaned from the "great icestcrn orator "t It looks prmhgioudy like it, don't it? And I learn, from good authority, that this was not merely an act of omission, but emphatically one nf cuiiiuiHsion ; deliberately nrrangid by the leaders of the parly ; ami still farther, that a certain judge the tlefi-aled candidate for I lie nomination of Governor-was fixed upon as Allen's successor ! Now I should really like to know vtnl good deed Bill Allen lias done to render him worthy of the neglect of the " patriot," who assembled on the occasion referred to? This look encouraging, and it is no longer to be questioned that there at some hopes of Allen rising into political grnc. . It is certainly no slight mark of merit considering Ins course hitherto that he whs not noticed liy such a company I'liere is hone Galhpolis for him when such leaders as Ulds, Reed, Ueeiut-lui. Fully set forth and graced by the uames of the & L'o., remembir ioftrget him. HOPE above functionaries, who galvanized it into being, this case would read well. Then, In vary the scene, a couple of columns devoted to an exposition of the " Uing-liamptou l'ost Note " operation, in which it was said a locofoco Governor look a very important and active part, would not be sunns. For (he facts, refer to the locofoco State agents who insisted in scattering these pictures along the Miami Extension. These are the cases to which we might call his attention; but we Will stop here for the present. When these arc duly attended to, we shall held ourselves in in reudiuess to assist our neighbor in his further search for " ower true tales." We liked his first: as we think witli hi in, that the locofoco legislators of locofoco Michigan did succeed in giving life to a most desperate set of shaving shops: and wo like his last, because it's funny. To be sure, the mural lias as much force as it would have if applied to a mercantile firm which had been robbed by its clerk; but then it's funny, so who cares for the moral? Finuncee of Kentucky From the annual message of Gov. Owsley of Kentucky, we harn that the financial condition of that always Whig State is just what would be expected from the fact that it it always Whig. Tho fiscal year of the State ends on the LHh of October; at which time thero remained in the treasury, after paying oil the expenses of the government and the interest on the public debt, a balance of jjlH.'JtiH. The receipts during the year were 4r.,N3t and tho expenditures tJtX'li.MT. The public debt of the State amounts to $l,G:G,lr6. Tim Statu owns tt 1 ,7t,7;Mi of bank etock, the Kentucky, ami Greene and Darren river i mprovcmentst and sundry turnpikes and bridges which arc productive. Kentucky has every clement of prosperity within tier own borders; and when the Convention which is to bo called to frame a new Constitution, shall have cleared the way for tlm strong arm of frc labor, she will take rank among the most prosperous Slates uf the Union. The following extract is from a private letter, of a ...... , sb iau uaie, irom flew xora. i no money msraei is very ugiit -misinrss uuu. "The Government cannot borrow a dollar under ths present state of things. The line of Deposits is very large, and tlw banks will place themselves iu no position by which a ma would ensue. The fact is the fiili re uncertainty of the war how lung it will continue and how much it will cost obliges the capitalists tube cautious. They have uu confidence in I he Secretary of the Treasury, and many assert be baa unqualifiedly falsified his pledges. " What do the farmers and working men of Ohio nay to a direct taxation ? At any rate they have to pay the fiddler, either by increased duties on goods, or they may sip it down with their tea and colFeu ! " We all feel a deep iulcmlin your Whig coven-tion. !) not think it concerns your Slate alone. It will effect the pulsations of every one in the Union, Our own State is not reliable, but Ohio ia at least if you are true to yourselves and the glorious cans which binds us together. There is not a doubt if you take a bold and manly stand, it will con linn our wavering Whigs who look too often In what they call "ennse- quences," instead of standing by the truth bo tho consequences what they may ! Kxport of Npecie, Oen nri KtroRT Mont sn llrv Lr.sa The amount ol coin exported from New Vurk lot the week rnding on Friday last, was $7-14,4311, or nearly three quarters of a million of dollars. The amount import. cd by the Isst steamer was less than stlll.tum. tx change on Kn'Und rules at l) a in premium. The New York Commercial Advertiser, of Saturday, paper generally very correct in what it states, in reference to the policy of thu banks, says : " The ta continuanro of any improvement tlm consequence of the renont payment ot dividends, Ac , will, for tlie present, materially depend upon the realion of specie payments, as in this care, with the quantity con. alaiitly arriving Irmu other serltonsof the count ry, our banks would soon receive sufficient to place thein in a position of great strength, and render it their policy, ms it would be their interest, to supply the legitimate wants of the community." JiHt so. To alt of wlnrh the Philadelphia Ledger says: "As long as the export of coin so greatly exceeds the import, t'-e hanks dare not increase their discounts. He I ore the institution can venture on what is called relief of the money market,' there must he more demand, if not mn increased nrici, in Liverpool, for our great stiple, cotton. Untie Knglsnd buys more of us or we less from them, the balance of trade, which the rate of ex change now shows to be so largely agamrt us, cannot be restored, and until it is put in our favor, tlie banks cannot do otherwise thin restrict their business. The rate of foreign eiehinge is a barometer of the money market which every one ran rrad and understand for himself when it falls below ten per cent , a change in the present course of policy of thu bunks may be looked for." That balance of trade " against us is just the result prrdiated by the Whigs at the passage of the Tariff of '4li ; and the condition of the money market now is only the fruits of that " bill of theabomiiia-linns." For tlie Ohio State Journal. Hingtilnr Indltiu Ceremony Renewed at Wash i n ton. Father L. Petit, a Jesuit .Missionary, in n letter written iu IH.ln, gives the following uccuuntof a ceremony practiced by the Natchez Indiana, on going to war : "When a siitlieient number of braves have presented themselves to the War Chief, he causes to be made nl his house, a beverage which they call the war medicine, itiot is an cmrltc winch they muko from a root they boil in lar-'e kettles full of writer. The wariors, sometimes to the number of three hundred, having seated themselves about the kettle, they serve each ono with two pots of it. The ceremony is to swallow them with a smgle effort, and then lo throw it up with ctl.irts su violeut that they can bu heard at a great distance." We arc informed tint this curious ceremony was performed st Washington by the President and his Cabinet, nn going to war with Mexico. To evince their determined hostility, each person was furnished with tit pols of the emetic, instead of two. The contortions produced upon the faces of those engaged in tins ceremony, uy tlie war medicine, would nave frightened Mexico, if she had seen itiem, into a peace, as soon probably as it will be conquered. The effect of tins medicine, whirl) is alinoat invari-bly tint tic, in the case of Secretary Marry, was sin-gul trly rrrersed. It is confidently reported that he lias pre rented rn tr tho damage dune tlie re by to his wardrobe to the Secretary of the Treasury. It is a i no staled that the President threw tin his six pots of the medie.inu tith uncommon violence, and that he continues to throw it up wan convulsive efforts that can be heard at a great diMtsuce. Other accounts say that tins ceremony has not yrt l'en nerl'iirmed. but preparations are being made by President Pulk and his Calinet, to perform it ou the fourth of March, Ir lit.

I. harlei Allen, of Worcester, to till the txislingvacancy. dom is in danger, and tlie defenders of the State become the pretorians of thu usurper." ' Hut passing out of con si do rat ion any danger from standiug armies for the moment and who is there that can look unmoved at the prospect of maintaining a stnnding army of aixty thousand troops? let us refer once more to the cost. Can we stand this drain of money, even if wo cuuld the waste of blood? Let us see before we plunge deeper into debt, our present poBitiou more clearly how much even a war of vie tory ' is worth. Gen. Cass, to bo sure, a cast off courtier, who, if he ever had ought of reputation or courage, was so long tho attendant upon royalty as to flitter awuy all cluims lo manhood Gen. Cass may prate of the foreign dislhc'.ioti the country has acquired abroad by feats of arms, initead of thu nobler progress in thu humanities of life. Even if this might be true in the peculiar atmosphere hu delighted to ba k in the sacred precinct of St. Clout) yet with all reflective minds abroad those especially who are watching with so much interest, the full develope- mentof man unfettered by the heir-loom prejudices of tho old World it must be a sad spectacle indeed, to seu this, the " model. republic," plunging into all the excesses of a war of conquest andself-aggrandizement ! Even Gen. Cuss, endorsement of nn European reputation, with those whose peculiar privilege it is to ride booted and. spurred by the grace of God over their fellow creatures, will not prevent us from counting the cost thu present and thu future. Wo do not want with European reputation an European debt. England has paid four billions of dollars for a very equivocal European reputation the Jews of the Continent hold the purse siring of Franco and Germany, it requiring all the coin iu their coffers to pay the interest engendered by wars for this same European reputation. Every industrial interest is taxed to the utmost farthing tint it can hour an ezcite.man is pes. ted at every gate of their cities, at every door of every house the very light of heaven is a privileged grant and yet all these would be cheaply purchased, if thereby we could gather such laurels ns his excellency, the late minister lo the Court of St. Cloud, would consider nn European reputation! This brings us back onco more to the points proposed, and we wish to call uprn the stand the ripe judgment and matured reflection uf our brother of the , " North American." What is his testimony we ark for it your considerate attention : " It has been calculated," says G bbon, the historian of two thousand years of blood, " by the ablest politicians, that no Mate, without tieuig soonex-hautited,-can inaiiitniu above the hundredth part uf its nemoers in arms and luieuess. Much n rule would unit the practicable military force of the United States t.Limit men ; but the rule was founded on the sta tistics nf European monarchies, where the people co'ild be drained by taxation to the lust shilling, lo maintain armies paid and h u at the lowest rale ot expense at which men can be made to uiurch and die. tlie citizen was starved and tlie soldier wus starved ; mid that u as the maximum rule of proportion at which a standing army could he kept by tlie richest and strongent Eunqiean government from its own rcsour- AUowiug the superior expense ot an American army, the proportion uf troops which could be maintained without exhaustion, cannot exceed one-half ; mill lliat is the proportion for an army to be sustained at hmne. Abroad, in a foreign country, as in Mexico, where, we know, the expense is inure llian doubled. the proportion actually sinks to one-fourth, or .rt),hn() nun; which, it wo nmi tlie 11,uiki troops authorized, and in process nf being enlisted as reinforcements, to the troops already in Mexico, is less than the American army which the American people are now supporting. Tlie 1 1,IHH) reinforcements, tlie 10, hill) with hcolt and Wool, the brigndo in New Mexico and tlie regiment n California with the host of sea-soldiers filling the shun of war nn the Mexican coasts make up a grand total exceeding the number of f!),ti0l): and this is Hie standing army which the Mexican war has created already. Do tlie American people tliiiik they are rich enough does any rational man think 'hey nro rich euuugh to sustain the expense of such au army mndy months longer? " I am told by those who have entered into calculations on the subject," said Mr. Crittenden, ' that the average ost ol oilieers and men is nearly ft Hint iht man. And Mr. Crittenden was right. Even Mr. Cass, iu attempting to correct him, admitted thai the "actual" rout, (exclusive of bounty landa, Medical Staff, an-J 1'rottpccts Ahend--Trie War and ita Consequences,We are no alarmists, but the signs of the times warn us of danger, Thu history uf the past, however, has taught us the humiliating lesson, that there is no ap peal, so sure to reaeh thu ears of tho people, as that winch touches their pockets W'e have waited with all due patience for that period to arrive and it hu come. Every piper from the East, Iho South, and the West, allude to the pressure on the money market. In the Atlantic cities the rates of interest range front one and a half to two per cent, tho month govern ment six percent, stocks are below par. Soulli and Westtbu binks are preparing to meet the storm they must protect themselves, and they will do it. Between a Southern Tariff and a War for aggrandizement, Exchingo un Enlaud the birouteter of Wall Street which a few months ago was as low as six per cent , showing a large balance of trade in our favor, has now run up to eltrrnf The New York Tribune, a few days Hi me, re ported draft upon the Branch Treasury of the Commercial Emporium as exceeding the coin in its vault. Wlulo Treasury notes are below ptr, not a dollar of specie goes into thu Govern mental locker. Large discrepancies have already been detected in Mr. Walker's Report ho has lust cavt as reliable authority, and capitalists will not again be caught in the meshes uf his diplomacy. In tho face nf all these circumstances with the certainty that a continuance of this war of aggression will draw duv n upon thu ountry the muvitable consequences of a deranged currency, pecuniary distress, and governmental bankruptcy, thu President, with a silly pertinacity which only shows the low and degraded passions of tho brute partisan still demands fresh troops, now loans, more power. Are the people so infatuated as to follow such a leader, who wen affects to call himself, with hypocritical humility, their " eery idirdiett servant?" There has been a time in the history of our repub lic, when the proposition of maintaining a "standing army would break down the b.urier of parly lines, and call furlli a rebuke, which could not safely bo dis regarded. Gen. Taylor, with five or six thousand troops, mostly raw recruits, defeated the bet appoint ed army that Mexico ever had, exceeding thirty thou sand in number, with a General in command, who then had their conlidenco and support. Gen. Scult, with scarcely double the number, marched from Vera Crux to tho Capital, gaining battle after battle at great odds, and finally entering a city of some iMH,l)iH) m. habitants, with the renin ant of his army, perhaps all told, seven thousand strung ! And yet with a foroe ol forty thousand troops al. rrady In Hit field, thu best appointed army we havo ever had, and a moru effective force than was Gen. Washington's in the darkest hour uf tho Republic, in a contest by our In'hera for their very hcnrlh-slnncs. and for which the poor Mexican contends, down-trod den though he bu with every strong hold uf the en emy in our possession, the President declares we have expended " not blood euoti'h, not treasury enough " to satisfy his right royal appetite ! u len Regiments" more are demanded not volun. tens, who at tho close of the war would peacefully retire lo their homei but 11 Regulsrs," au eslled that it "machines" stamped by nature indeed freemen, but dulled by time and appliances into the semblance of slsves.

Mr. Pkmu said his obiect. in introducing thrum resolutions, was not to raise a party debate, but to give members on both sides of the House an upporlu-nity to record their votes upon the question involved in Iho resolutions. He had been careful so to prepare them as to avoid all party issues. The question uf " territory " or "no territory" was not touched upon. He had no opinion of his own to shield from public view ; but he did not wish, by expressing them now, to raise a party leenng. Mr. P. said that the orator, appointed by the last General Assembly to pronounce a funeral oration on the death of the late lamented Gen. Thomas L. Hauler, recited in that oration as a historical fact, that when our army on the Rio Grande was about to march towards Monterey and the interior of Mexico, the invading column was, or was about to be, organized out of troops from tho Southern Stoles only, and the Ohio force was to be left behind to an inglorious ease in garrison : but the late Gen. llamer presented him self to thu commanding General, and informed him Ihut, if new territory was to be conquered, Ohio must be represented in the army flint was to do it, and that Ohio would assert the right to have a voice in the government of that territory when conqvered. These resolutions recite as fact, what llnmer predicted, that Ohio would share the expenses and perils of the conquest which was tu take place She has done so. The resolutions further assert, what Hairier asserted, that Ohio would imitst on hrr right to be heard on the sub-ect of the government of thu territory obtained as the result of I Ins war, if any bo obtained. This was a right of greut practical importance, and he hoped the Legislature wuuld assert it by a unanimous vole. Mr. Potter presumed the ire n tie man would not as sert that the expression used in the resolutions, that the war " was neither sought nor advised by the State of Ohio," was not raising n porly issue. nir. rr.it hv continued. Iho resolutions do not call in question the propriety of the war this has been purposly avoided. The object aimed at is simply to declare that if territory be acquired, it must lie free. lie could Iiavu used stronger language in drafting tlie resolutions, and by so doing, hu would not have viola, ted Inn own feelings nor the feelings of a majority here ; hut ho had studiously avoided this. He desired a unanimous vote from the Legislature nf Ohio, up. on the question of thu extension of Slavery ; and had framed his propositions lor that purpose. Mr. roTTLH thought there was enough in the resolutions to make an issuu. They nssert that the war was neither sought nor advised by -the Slate ol Ohio. If hu recollected aright, a majority of tho members of Coiigressfrom this Stale, voted that Ihe war was commenced by tlie act of Mexico. This was the fact. The resolutions should be referred or printed. They were not yet understood by members. If the question was now put un them, hu should nsk a division. Hut he wished Ihein printed, so that nil might see them. He therefore moved to lay them un the table to bo printed. Mr. Pr.nnr thought the only point of difference iais ed, was, as. to whether Ohio hud advised the war. Thu remark uf the gentleman from Lucas settled that point; ns he says the war was the set of Mexico her eli if such was thu fact surely Ohio did nut advise it. Tho motion to print was then Inken and lent. Mr. Waiuiek moved to refer tlie resolutions to the commillt'u on Federal Relations lost, yeas nays Mr. WiniiKK then moved to lay ibcni on the table lost. Mr. Put tub moved lo strike out the second resolution.Mr. Smith of Hamilton would cilt the attention of the House, and the country, Ihe whole country, to the fact that now, for thu first tune during this session, the gag was to be applied in this hall fur the first time 1 Mr. Smith then moved to refer the resolutions to select committee of three lost, yeas li'J, nays 35. Mr. Wahukih moved to adjourn lust, yean 2d, nays W7. Mr. Pottf.h saw there was no use in attempting to get a moment's time In consider Ihe resolutions. A gathering of the "faithful" was to take place iu a day or two, oud they must be forced through now. Perhaps the majority understood Ihe resolutions their minds had been prepared and enlightened else w hero upon them. Mr. t rnuv said the resolutions had been prepared without consultation and had never been submitted to the members comprising the majority. Mr. Pottf.h declared ihe hastu with which these resolutions were pressed was doing injustice to the minority, as well ns injustice to ihe mnjorily. The question involved disunion, and if gentlemen should never have cause to regret their action, their children would. The a I (struct question iniirht be riifliL he did not say it wns not rmht ; but it was calcula ted to lead to a disruption of the Union. The interference of Congress is even now the watchword of dissolution. He must confess ignuiancc as to how far Congress should or might safely interfere with the question of slavery, liu repealed that his friends were nol prepared to vole on tlie question involved in the resolutions they had hud no timo allowed ihein to think of it. Hu would say to ireiitleiiien in all can dorlet il alone now. Il was unfair to press it on tlie minority while they were unprepared to meet it, nnd compel them tu vote in the dark. The resolutions had been read three times from the Speaker's chair U nl if a vole were insisted on now, he hoped tho second resolution would br stricken uut. Alter further remarks from tlie Speaker, Mr. Potter, and Mr. Russell, Mr. Rt ssKiL moved to lay Ihe resolution! on the table In be printed. Mr pLiutr said tho gentleman had forestalled him in tho motion. He had no disposition to force the minority to vole immediately nor had he any desire to debate. The question was one winch has been before the country, and has been canvassed every where ; and he was surprised to find anyone, at this time, unprepared to meet it fairly. He hoped tho motion of the gentleman from Harrison would prevail. Thu resolutions were then laid npun the table to be printed ; and Tho House adjourned. Tucsdnr( January 18, 1848. IN SENATE.
