then arose as to the place-of holding the
convention—one member . proposed the
Court House at Lancaster, another Inde

Pennsylvania and Ohio.—Our readers

introduced in the Senate of Ohio to pre
vent the establishment, within that State,
of any branch of the bank of the United

dower the bills, &c. of said bank. Mr.
Penrose has introduced into our S2nate a
Preamble grid Resolutions of a countervail

ing Legislative interference to prevent ta

Read moved that two thousand copies in
English, and one thousand in Germ:l,l l im

p4inted for the use of the members.. In
the speech which followed, this gentleman
stoke of his being selected as the medium
of communication, as the highest -honor
*lnch had ever been conferred on him,jor
of which' he ever expected to be the recap
tent, and then ably advocated his motion,
which nevertheless was rejected by n vote
of 15 to 13. So much for the gallantry
of the Senate! Perhaps this body deem the
right of petitioning to be confined to the
male sex alone, and if so, their deciion
was strictly in accordance with this erro
neous doctrine. Mr. Reed happened to
say in the course of his speech, that ;the
ladies were wiser than themselves---Od
truly the result verified the correctriesti of

with all becoming respect, aim with all . the brevity in
my power k The Senate is ordered by the conatitamon
to kelp a journal of its proceedings, and to publish it
frost time to time. This injunctipu is .thus soldninly
imposed upon the aggregatq body, and on each intim.
dusisenator. Whatever shall be done shall be faith
fully recorded by the Secretary. and shall be faithfully
-
, kept—not for an hour.and then to be defaced—not for
a•day, and then to he erased—not forht year, and then
I to 'ae expunged—but forever, as'a perpetual witness,
a faithful history, by which the ittondirm.ihe m#tives.
• the a; boils of men, shall be judged. nett by thoselof the
present day only, but through alt tirnei It was a wise
custom among the Chinese. which required the biog.
raphy of each Emperor to be writtembefore the close
of his life and placed before him. sri as to gibe him
foreknowledge of what the world wohld think ofhim
after his death. It wan designed to, restrain his evil
passions—to curb theerercirie.of despotic awhy. It
addressed itself to his ambition, and excited 'within
hum a longing fur an immortality to pie gratitude and
admiration of succeeding ages. Bub this provision in
our Constituticki is still wiser. Each Senator, writes
daily his own biography. He is required to ;record
lira own atm. and takes an oath to ,keep that record
and to publtsh it from ttrne to tuna. The applause
or censure of his fellow men isnot Mistrieued nubl he
has descended to the tomb. It is ddily uttered by the
living generation. How powerful are the inducements
thus addressed to each member to lie redbird to the
trust confided to him. How much to be adnitred the
wisdom of our ancestors in framing the Constitution'.
Ifthis Was its only feature, their ode to immortality
would be established.
.. .
This simple provision is me of the great securities
of A tuerican liberty. It taken nothing upon trust.. If
the Senate kept no journal. it would be a secret con.
elate. where deeds the most revel, ing ling 111 be per.
formed in seereay and darkness. TLe train

thete be laid, the mine prepared, and the emit know
ledge of the treason might be the explosion, and eon/ie
.:pent overthrow of In e government. liabetty could
•not co exist with such a state of things. l'here is no
liberty where there is no responsibility, and there can
be no responsibtlity where nothing is kncissu. To
have a Secretary seated at the table of the Senate to
write downier proceedings. and to clan' u for;itself the
right to cancel. obliterate , or expunge what he had
written. is equivalent to having no joumallat all—a
mockery and a fraud: The journal; et die t morning
may be cancelled in the . eretting—that of td.day may

lowing preamble and resolutions; which were u
nanimously adopted. •
The him that those individual* engaged in tire
boating briiineas last season, did hot receive a fair
compensation fee their labor, is universally admit-1
ted by all conversant therewith.' Boatmen then I
indulged in the hope that the approaching season
might tie more prosperous-oin this hope, however,
it would seem their prospects are again blasted—'
the Navigation Company having, at the instance
of the consignees, agreed to 4 , futther deduction of
3 per centurn On the toll; all lbw who possess a
knowledge of the effect. this may produce, (judg
ing from the past,) will clearly see that it will end
in taxing the boatman or coal carrier to the a.
mbnnt of the additional a pex cent. This loss to
the boatman must be a dear, gain In another class
of citizens engaged in the Caul Trade, and that
the gainers are the consignees in Philadelphia, is
evident;—that they are the persons wife) profit by
the labor of the' boatmen acid shippers, is evidilnt
from the following well known fact: A boat load.
ed jn the coal region with fifty tons of coal, is put
in the care of the-boatmen, who proceed with the
boat to the place of its destination, say Philadel
phia,—opon its arrival the consignee declares '2i
tons of the load to be dirt or wastage. This a—
mount is deducted firom thelabor of the boatsmen
and shippers, and the artielOptenconced dirt, sold
at an average price of 83 pdr tosi by the consignee s
amounting to $l5 on every hundred tons of coal
ahipped,Jor which act a cent is paid to the carrier
or shipper, and is pbeketed by the consignee.- 7
Desirous then that if any profits can be realized
from the coal business, that the same may he at ,
divided that each branch of the'Coal Trade may
realize at least a living profit for his labor, be it
Resolved, That the Naiigation Company, by
their late act deducting 3, per ttun on Coal toll,
