The Daily Cincinnati Republican, And Commercial Register

General Assembly of the State of Ohio, on the 2d day of January, 1834, instructing our Senators in Congress, and requesting our Representatives, to use their influence to prevent the re-chartering of the Bank of the United States, to sustain the Administration in the removal of the Deposites, and to oppose the passage of the Land Bill containing the principles adopted in the act upon that subject, passed at the second session of the twenty-second Congress;' and whereas, this General Assembly believes the right of instruction belongs, properly, to the people, it is an abuse of that right whenever the Legislature instruct contrary to the popular will, and believing that the aforesaid instructions are not in accordance with that will—Therefore,

How perfectly ridiculous! "And whereas, this General Assembly believe the right of instruction belongs, properly, to the people, it is an abuse of that right whenever the Legislature instruct contrary to the popular will." Here is the admission as plain as the noon-day sun.' Reverse the language and say it is no abuse of that right whenever the Legislature instruct according to the popular will, as was the case last winter, and what a ridiculous attitude do these learned and talented savans stand

But let us proceed: the preamble contains, " and, believing that the aforesaid instructions are not in accordance with that will, Therefore." Here we have language as nonsensical as ever came from human lips. The heavy majority in the Legislature last winter proves that the expression of that body was in accordance with the "popular will; yet these gentry believe that the resolutions, &c. are not in accordance," &c. Even a school boy would have known the difference between the past and present tense, and inserted the word "We" in the proper place, As the whole preamble reads, it is a perfect mass of incongruities and absurdities, and presents a rare specimen of all the "talents" of the Whigs.

But to the first resolution, which reads thus:

"Resolved by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio, That the Resolutions and Preamble, passed at the last session of the General Assembly of this State, on the foregoing subjects, be, and the same are hereby rescinded."

All are to be rescinded, not a single iota to be preserved, and yet these men pretend to say they do not wish the Bank re-chartered. This is not so, it is unquestionably the strongest desire of their hearts.

The second resolution is intended to gloze over the first, and evidences a design on the part of its supporters' to operate in certain portions of the State, politically: it is as follows:

"Resolved, That by the adoption of the foregoing resolution it is not intended to express an opinion favorable to the re-charter of the United States Bank."

We ask the reader to show us the sense of this farce at legislation; as well might it be understood that it was not intended to express an opinion "unfavorable, &c.

The third and last resolution then comes to crown the whole—which is:

"Resolved, That the Governor be requested to transmit a copy of the foregoing Preamble and Resolutions, to each of our Senators and Representatives in Congress."

Here are these stupendous resolutions. resolutions as defective in language as deficient in sense; a medley of contradictions, a political measure designed only for effect. They say by these resolutions that none but the people have a right to instruct, and in the next sentence, that the Legislature also, have a right, in conformity to popular will. They say that the resolutions of last Winter, passed by another Legislature, containing a large majority of Democrats, Are not in accordance with the popular will. They assert, also, that having a majority now of less than one-half that of last winter, they are sustained by the people in rescinding the resolutions of that body. They admit the right of instruction in theory, and deny it in practice. They stand before the people of this State, engaged in the commission of an act of usurpation; they have no authority to rescind the resolutions referred to; either legally or otherwise. They cannot have control over that portion of the acts of the former Legislature. They might instruct, but this even they dare not do, aware of the just indignation of an insulted people.

The whole proceeding is designed to place Thomas Ewing at his ease—but that they cannot do. It is too well known to the people of Ohio that he has disregarded the instructions, insulted and contemned them, abused the power invested in him, and degraded himself. That people will, when the proper time arrives, leave him in the "solitude" of home, wrapped up in the "waste" of his own corrupt imagination.
