The Whig Tin-Pan Has Again Decreed It.—When the odious bank bill passed the Senate, its monstrosities and dangerous provisions had been so thoroughly exposed and laid bare by the Democratic members of the Senate, that there was a relenting among some of the whig members of the House of Representatives, and intimations were thrown out that the bill would be remodelled before it could pass the House. But the screws of the "Tin pan" were again brought into requisition. Mr. Keller set all his creatures to work; and the crowd of hungry bank cormorants who throng the Halls of the Legislature, made a regular set upon the whig members of the House, until they have all been whipped and coaxed into the traces. It is now settled that this monstrous bank progeny of the corrupt whig tin-pan is to become the law of the land. It is with deep humiliation that we make this announcement. The bank plunderers have triumphed over the people. Whether the people of Ohio are to remain a free people, or become the vassals of a corrupt paper feudal system—whether we are to have a republican government, or a swindling bank aristocracy in Ohio, is now the great and alarming question. Let the tocsin of alarm be resounded to the remotest quarters of our State. Let the struggle of the people to be free be commenced in due time, and in a manner becoming the occasion.—Ohio Statesman.
