Mr. Case, of Hecking.
This gentleman, at present a mem
ber of the Constitutional Convention,
gained some notoriety in this Con
gressional district a few years since,
sj a Locofoco candidate for Congress.
He has, as member of the Conven
tion, been quite as nnable to please a
portion of his party as he was to
gratify the wishes of certain of his
political friends hereabouts on the
occasion referred to. The great
cause, for which Mr. Case has been
accused of "treason," by his own
political friends, is that he will not
take the Locofoco-8th-of-January-hard-money
resolutions as the rule
of bis action in the Convention. He
wUl not vote to incorporate into the
Constitution, without consulting the
people by submitting the question to
be decided by a popular vote, a
sweeping clause prohibiting the gran
ting of any bank charter on any terms
whatever, and for this he is charged
with being an "Arnold," by the
main wing of Locofocoism. This is
no quarrel of the Whigs, but a Loco
foco family affair. The simple ques
tion presented is, can a Locofoco be
a Locofoco and stand any where
else than on the hard mosey, no bank
.nlatform. True this is no affair of
r
ours, but we thought proper to refer
to It now, as it may prove an interes
ting item, as explaining certain Loco-
fooa manoeuvres in this district the
coming fall.

nominated Gen. Taylor, dissatisfied

corresponded to the honest pur-
ses of the great body of the peo
s'le. This is a truth that is daily
Jaing better understood throughout
Ahe country. A few mere politiciars,
whose rule of conduct, is marked out
in the secret caucus, have spared no
pains to prejudice the people against
him. hut the ocinions and wishes of

The Crops.
Our farmers are now in the midst of
the wheat harvest. Although some fields
contain a great deal oi chess, yet it is
thought, considering there was consid
erable more sown last fall than ever be
fore, that the yield will be larger than
any previous year in Gallia" county.
The berry.never was better. The corn
crop which, with a cold, wet spring,
succeeded by a dry June, was looking
sorry enough, is rapidly coming forward
since the late showers.
Attempted Suicide of Gontalve Man

bidding hi n adieu, handed him a note,

of his brother, Saymond broke open the
paper and read, "I die this night by
poison." Medical assistance was im
mediately procured, and with much dif
ficulty, as Gonsalve stoutly resisted, the
laudanum was extracted by means of the
stomach pump. The progress of the
trial was, in consequence of his con

Accident at Niagara Falls. NIAGARA FALLS. June 29. Judge Johnston.
We cut the following just tribute
of respect to the talents and capaci
ty of our candidate for Governor,
from the Albany Journal:
Judge Johnston, the present Whig
Candidate 'or uovernor ot Uhio, has
a history not unlike that of Ewing
and Corwin. He was kept at hard
work clearing up a new farm and
splitting rails until his 21st year.
After that he took his place as pupil
in a common school attending a ses
sion of tho county Court as witness,
became enamored oi the law, obtain
ed a situation In a law office, entered
upon his professional career with
gloomy prospects, soon tcquired dis
tinction by his eloquence, and was
lately called to a seat upon the su
preme bench for his learning.
Having been nominated for Gov
ernor, he has resigned his judgeship,
and will electrify the people from
the stump, from this time on to Oc
tober. Such a man desarves suc
cess. "
OThis week closes the publishing
of the Laws. Hereafter we shall be
enabled to give a greater variety of mis
cellaneous matter, as our space for some
time past has been limited.
Judge Johnston.
We have favorable accounts from
all quarters, of the impression made
upon- the people by the Whig candi
date for Governor. He is on a tour
through the eastern part of the

From Washington.
The Baltimore Patriot, contains
the following in regard to the settle
ment of the questions now before
Congress:
The reports from Washington,
more or Mess authentic, are' not so
favorable for an early settlement of
the questions now before Congress,
as they were a week ago. The hot
weather has had an unfavorable ef
fect upon some of the members, and
the result is, that what seemed to
be near a successful close last week,
is now all in doubt Mr. Clay, in the
course of a few remarks which he
made yesterday in the Senate, ur
ging the importance of that body
meeting hereafter at eleven o'clock,
stated that he could not, from the ap
pearance of things, undertake to say
when the matters ' would be closed.
If there was any way, by which
these questions could be brought be
fore the people Tor decision, tuey
would make quick work of it They
would have no one hour rules or five
minute rules, to which speeches
were to be limited. They would
have nothing but voting. This is
what is wanting in the Senate. -Let

Convention.
Monday 24th.
This morning the committee took
up the report of the committee on
Jurisprudence. It is short only
two sections. It provides that the
Legislature shall elect three commis
bioners, whose duty it shall be to
codify the laws, &c, after the man
ner of doing the thing in New York;
and that, so far as practicable, they
should abolish all distinction between
law and equity practice. The com
missioners to report to the Legisla
ture from time to time, &c.
An amendment was proposed by
Mr. Taylor, that these commissioners
should be elected by the people.
This failed. It was modified so that
the Legislature should provide for
their election.
A discussion arose on the merits
of the recommend of the committee,
and was discussed till recess. . Judge
Peter Hitchcock urged, that as this
was an experiment of a vital charac
ter, it was better to wait till New
York had tried the plan, and see how
it worked. That it was within the
power of the Legislature at any time
the people might require, to do this
work, and that it should not be im
posed in express terms in the consti
tution. Judge Holt, who is chairman of the
Jurisprudence committee, defended
the report, and enforced the practi
cability and necessity of taw reform.
He dwelt at length on the nonsense
and humbuggery. ol tho John Doe
and Richard Roe process' in eject
ment. The question was further dis
cussed, by Judge fjollings and oigna
Taylor in defence of the report, and
by Judge Peter Hitchcock, Nash, and
Leadbelter against it.
Judge Vance spoke forcibly in oppo
sition to the scheme of the committee.
Mr. Case of Licking replied, and de
fended the report Judge Vance
answered, etilorcinghis views, v.
Mr. Mitchell, of Knox, made
furious onslaught'upon the commit
tee and the plan. ' He defended the
common law forms, and declared
them much more simple and perspi
cuous than the civil law, or the re
formed or New York.
June 25.
This morning the discussion was
renewed, "and remarks were made by
Messrs. Collings, Ranney and Case
in defence of the report, and by nr.
Mitchell in opposition. Ir. Arch
bold had concurred in the report.
but thought it idle to expect that a
new system of jurisprudence could
be adopted at once.-- It will lake
years to bring any new system into
operation.
Mr. Tavlor spoke at length in
opposition to the common law., t He
was of the opinion that. we had got
to be old enough and wise enough to
make a system of our own. He
wanted our glorious Buckeye State
to be independent of British forms.
Judge Vance enforced his views
He had not opposed legal reform.
But he was opposed to the idea of
abolishing the distinction between
law and chancery.
Mr. Leadbetter .was still of the
opinion that the proposed reform was
impracticable.-
Colonel Hawkins supported the
report, It was a reform that was
required by "the people of the State.
Mr. Manon thought the. commis
sioners should report a system of re
forms, and should hot be left to de
termine whether iey thought the
thing practicable, or not"
Gen. Mason said that we are all
in favor of legal reform. Thi diffe
rence is, that we differ about the
length we go, and the way of getting
at it He defended the common law
at length, and with much ability.
He commented with severity, and
yet with pleasantness, upon the pro
pensity to run after new measures,
because t'.isy are new. W e are dis
posed ta copy from New York.
Well, he was a native of New York,
and w rather proqd of that State.

Wilkinson flourished there; ."uormou-
ism nourished mere; awhmi
rnn ma4 flr.nrih there. Hfl did
not follow these, or any of them,
end he did not sympathize with this
feeling of running there alter legal
reform. . '. ,
The amendment of Mr. Taylor,
making it imperative oh the commis
sion to report a system' of reform,
was lost, and the. report was adop
ted, substantially as reported. . j

This A. M-the committee for fix
ing the compensation of the Repor
ter and his corps reported, by allow,
ing the Reporter eight dollars per
day, and the assistants the amonnt
that Mr. Smith had contracted to
pay them; being two dollars per
column. .
In committee, the report of the
committee on the Judiciary was ta
ken up, and that part of it which re
quired the State to be divided into
three judicial districts, each to elect
one Judge of the Supreme Court,
was stricken out,. and in lieu thereof,
a clause inserted by which all these
Judges are to be elected by all the
people in common.
Mr. Sawyer moved to strike oui
all such, La tin terms as habeas corpus,
procedendo, mandamus, quo warranto,
Ace, from the report, and thereupon
a" very amusing and learned d scus-
sion arose. In rendering the terms
io to good Saxon English, Mr. Mc-
Cormic bored sawyer rather deep.
For instance, he proposed that in
stead of sa'ving the writ of manda
mus, we should say, the writ of "do
it. dn vouP &c The amendment
of Mr. Sawver failed. After some
discussion upon the district and coun
ty court system, tfie Convention ad
journed. '
June 27.
The county court system is now
tho subiect of debate. The oppo
nents of the report object that the
county court is stripped ot its impor
tance, and the important business is
taken away to two or three points
in each circuit The opponents of
the report say that the plan will take
business away from the several coun
ties and take it to distant places for
final adjudication, that will be incon
venient and expensive to lawyers
and clients. It is contended that
there should bo a supreme court held
in each county, once or twice a year,
where appealed cases are to be dis
posed of, in the county where they
originate.
To our mind there is force in the
objection. We have not examined
the proposed system in detail, and
have formed no opinion about the
subiect. The report is undergoing a
thorough sifting, and its friends are
able, and distinguished. Judge Ken-
non, the chairman, entered into its
defence this morning. Judge Swan,
Mr. Stanbery, Mr. Nash, &c, have
advocated the system ol the com
mittee. Mr. Clark and Mr. Ranney
have opposed it Mr. Ranney, as a
member of the committee, has sub
mitted a minority report, embracing
a whole svstem. and this forenoon he
entered into a minute and very able
examination of the objections to the
report, and advocacy of his plan.
We have not heard him speak more
to the point or with more force of ar
gument After he concluded his re
marks the Convention took a recess,
June 28.
The discussion on the district and
county court feature of the judiciary
report was continued. Some voting
in the o-ommittee indicated that there
would be some change in this part ot
the report
June 29.
The discussion was continued
without anv definite action
The discussion, yesterday and to
day, has assumed rather two much
