The power of this body to perform its legislative functions is atanend. Without commenting upon the revolutionary act, that has placed us in this situation; the question may well be asked, what can we do? Can we adjourn without day? The Constitution of Ohio provides that neither House, shall, without the consent of the other, adjourn for more than two days. How are we to procure the consent of the other branch, to adjourn without day? It cannot bedone. We cannot interchange communications.

The Constitution also provides that,“ in case of disa- greement between the two Houses, with respect to the time of adjournment, the Governor shall have power to adjourn the General Assembly, &c.” But there is, and can be, no disagreement between the two houses with respect to the time of adjournment, for we can have no official communication with each othe: Governor cannot, then, interfere and adjourn this General Assembly. ‘The Constitution further provides, that, “two-thirds of each house shall constitute a quorum to do business ; but a smaller number may adjourn from day to day, and com- pel the attendance of absent members On its appearing this morning, that a quoram was not present, a motion was made and carried, that (he absent members be sent for, A writ was accordingly issued by the Speaker, to the Sergeant-at-arms of this body, direct- ing hun to bring the bodies of the absent Senators into the Senate chamber. The return of the Sergeant-at-arms to this writ is as follows “fhave read this warrant to the within named Joseph Barnett. Jas. 8. Carpenter, John Crowell, Seabury Ford, Jas. Henderson. Joseph M. Root, Benjamin Stanton, Abra ham Van Vorhes, Benjamin F. Wade, and Alexander Waddle, and commanied their immediate attendance in the Senate chamber, and which they all refuse to obey, by declaring they were no longer Senators. “ Griffith Foos ‘and K. 8. Sill cauno® be found. “ Under existing circumstances, 1 cannot, in my opi- nion, compel the attendance of the members upon whom [ have served this warrant, without an application to the Governor to call out the aid of the military force.” (signed) GEORGE KNUPP, Sergeant-at-arms of the Senate of Ohio. From this itis evident that the attendance of these Senators in this Chamber cannot be obtained by peaceable means. Besides, 1 would refer to a proceeding that was witnessed by the most of you this morning, and which could not but have caused every Senators regret who witnessed it. ‘The General Assembly of this State, pitting. in Chillicothe, selected this place as a proper one for the Legislature to hold its meet- ings at. It was done under the ae peaeio that the legislative functions of the General Assembly could be here conducted in peace, and without interrup- tion. Whether this has been accomplished, isa matter of doubt. An officer of this General Assem- bly, in the discharge of an ag ic directed to him, has been insulted by a mob in the cayital of Ohio, while some of the citizens of this place gave sitetent countenance to the disorderly proceeding. It the legitimate functions of either branch cannot be carried on in this place, without being disturbed by mobs; or if the legitimate orders of either branch directed to the proper, officer, cannot be executed without, the officer being insulted and assailed y a er mob, it is then ee time to inquire whether anot place should not be selected for the seat of Govern- ment. This will have to be determined by a future Legislature. There is, then, no alternative left, but for each member to adjourn himself without form or cere- mony, if he see proper to do so. This is the only way in which it appears to me that we can be separated as a body under existing circumstances. Hovss or Representatives, Angust 12.—There not beiag aquorum present, the roll was called,when itappeared that all the whig members were absent except Mr. Perkins. Mr. McNutry moved that the sergeant at-arms be despatched after the absentees,which was agreed to. After being absent a short time, the sergeant at- arms made his return that he had notified Messrs. Rliss, Chenowith, Converse, Cooke, Fuller. Grego- ry, Kelley of Cuyahoga, Lawrence, Powell, Scott, Smith of Montgomery, Taylor, Updegraff and Wheeler, that their attendance was required in the House cf Representatives of the General Assembly, of the State of Ohio, and that the said members re- fused to attend. Mr. McNury moved that the Speaker issue his warrant to compel the attendance of the absentees, which was agreed to, and a warrant was thereupon issued by the Speaker. The seryeant-at-arme, after being absent about half an hour, made his return on the warra@t, that he had served the same by reading it to the absentees who refused to comply’ with the authority, and declared that they would not be com- pelled to attend in the House of Representatives, short of actual violence. .Mr. Byineron said, that under one of the most high-handed_ acts of treason, that ever disgraced the annals of the country, he was ata loss to de- termine what course to adopt, but inasmuch as he had no desire to see the city of Columbus flowing with blood, he would not as a representative of the people, move to adopt the use of violence to compel the attendance of the absentees, but as a member of the House, he called for the reading of the journal of the proceedings ot the House on yesterday. The journal was then read by the Clerk. The Speaker (Mr. Spalduiz) then addressed the mem- bers of the House as follows:— Gentlemen of the House of Representatives : ‘The enemies of freedom have triumphed. Law and or- der are at an end in Ohio, and henceforth, unless a speedy corrective be applied, anarchy and violence must bear rule in our beloved republic. By the mad infatuation of the ambitious leaders of the federal party in our State, thirty-two representatives have been induced to withdraw from this Hail, and thus, by paralysing the legislative arm, destroy tae functions of civil government. This rash act on the part of the seceding members, has not only interrupted our deliberations on the important subject of Congressional apportionment, which were well nigh their termination, but it has destroyed ailthe whole- some legislation of the session. Bills that have passed both houses cannot now be signed by the respective Spea. kers, and consequently the act for the appraisement of persona! property, belore sale on execution, fails to be- comealaw. The bill forthe relief of contractors and la- borers on the public works, which had passed the House, falls to the floor in the Senate. The bill to enable the spe- cie paying banks of Ohio to continue in bus after the expiration of their charters, meets with a similar fate. These matters involve serious and weighty considera tions, gentlemen, but they are nothing, and less than no- thing, in comparison with the shock given to our free in- stitutions, by the fatal example of yesterday. It is, and ever has been admitted, that the rule that requires “ the minority to yield to the will of the majority,” forms the very corner stone of our republican form of government. This important block in our political edifice has been rudely thrown out of place, ant think ae the whole of the fair fabric will not tremble at its lose y will not men reflect uj the consequences of their rashness ? vt ‘Suppose for a moment that the favorite hopes of these dis- organizers should be realized, and that a majority of Fe- deral members should be returned to the next General Assembly. Is it reasonable to suppose cy of the State will be represented by a less number than one thirdof either branch, and if so, may they not with propriety follow the example set them by their hot-headed opponents of yesterday 7 If they may, and to this propo- sition every sense of justice bie ls a ready assent, there is an end to the exercise of islative ac in Ohio.— The great chieftain himself, Thomas Ewing, would fail of an election to the United States Senate, with a strom; and decided bon vila of his friends, on joint ballot, in the General Assembly. "The recusant members, after a night’s reflection upom their pillows, havethis morning been invited to return to their duty, and aid us in transacting the business of the people. ‘They have refused to attend. e Speaker’s warrant has been resorted to for the pur- pose of compelling their attendance, in accordance with the letter of the constitution, but they have become despe- rate, and treat the sovereign authority of the people of Ohio with utter contempt. In this strange condition of affairs, we find ourselves suddenly and foreibly resolved into that elementary state in which the laws of nature prevail, and provide that each individual shall pursue the dictates of hisown will, so that he does no injury to his neighbor. Iknow of nosater course to be adopted, gentlemen,than that of immediate separation, without form or ceremony. Let us repair with all convenient speed to our consti ents, inform them of the wounds inflicted upon the consti- tution, and if there be any “balm in Gilead,” its healing etticncy willbe applied and appreciated at the polls on th: second Tuesday in October. Gentlemen :—We wow part—perhaps forever. When persed, let ustry to remember each other, rgd the ma. happy hours we have here spent in social iferconrse; bat, if memory prove treacherous in this respect, let us never forget our country, her constitusion and her laws. For the kindaess and firmness with which you have uniformly sustained me in discharging the arduous duties of the chair, Ishall cherish you all in my fondest recol. Tection, until memory shall be “swallowed up in death,” Faneweut! “ Mr. Byixoron said, in order to give the refractory members time to reflect, and return to their duty as representatives, he would move that the House take a recess till4o’clock, P. M. The House then took a recess, hingto: [Correspondence of the Herald.) Wasuineton, Tuesday, 3P. M. Out of Sight of Land—Probable Shipwreck— Reports—Pablic Gardener—Mr, Adams. Here we are—still afloat on the sea of doubt and uncertainty, out of sightof land, and without com- pass or rudder. Never was ship so tumbled and tossed about—never were officers and crew in such a condition—the former without power or authority, the latter in a state of mutiny, without order, disei- pline, or care. Whetherthe ship isto founder and go down, or reach a port dismasted and damaged in ngging and hulk, remains to be seen. The veto and the revenue question continue to absorb all attention. The ordinary business of le- gislation excites no interest whatever. The galleries were crowded this morning to hear the reports from. the several parties represented in the veto commit- tee. Mr. Apaais read his, in whieh his nme whig as- sociates concurred. It occupied about half an hour. It is violent and declamatory—vituperative and de- nunciatory, beyond all precedent or example. Mr. Girone followed in an able and argumenta- tive paper, meeting in advance all of argument which Mr. Adams presented, Then came Mr. ©. J. Iycersors, with a report in which Mr, Roosevelt united with him. Thisis a ve- ry ingenious and very conclusive document. Mr. Adams is met with his own weapons of sarcasm, and beaten on his own ground. They were all ordered to be printed, and their consideration postponed until to-morrow. This disposed of, Mr. Wise moved to take up the vetoed tariff bill, now lying on the table, which was ne- gatived. Ayes 99—noes 104. ‘The report of the committee of conference on the army organization bill was taken up, and after some debate agreed to. ‘The House is now engaged on the report of the committee of conference on the army appropriation bill. In the Senate the business has been uniateresting to the last degree. The contingent appropriation bill was taken up and passed. There was a smal! squabble about re- ducing the salary of the excellent and efficient pub- lie gardener, upon which a wag in the reporters’ gallery wrote the following :— Impromptu On the motion of Mr. Archer to reduce the Salary of James Mahr, the Public Gardener, because he had once inter rupted a Tippecanoe Meeting. ©, cut not down the salary Ot him who cultivates each tree And shrub and flower that ever grows “In summer's heat and winter’s snows.” my Mahr, from Emerald Ilse, ll the beauteous flow’rets smile— raight the tree of crooked birth, Whose apex stoops to kiss the earth. What though the Archer bends his bow, Tolay the Public Gardener low— What though asione he whilom threw, ‘To hit the flag of Tip’canoe ? ‘What though his mouth is open’d wide, In all his bold Hibernian pride, To cry for Jackson or for Van’? ‘Still Jim is an honest man. Nothing has yet been agreed upon, and allis con- fusion. ‘The opinion to-day is that distribution will not be abandoned, and ‘if any thing is done, it will be to perfect a tariff bill not to exceed twenty percent. It is said that Mr. Clay has written to his partisans here to go fora suspension of distribu- tion for three years, but this is doubtful. ‘The treaties are to be taken up in the Senate to- morrow; they are printed confidentially, and ready for Senators. ; ‘The factious spirit which animates a portion of the majority of the House of Kepresentatives, was incautiously manifested by Mr. Adams a tew days since. In declaring that there was ‘ civil war” be- tween the legislative and executive branches of the government, he avowed his determination to wage this war to the last extremity, rather than the Presi- dent should be permitted to exercise a power ex: pony conferred upon him by the constitution; and he exhorted his followers to take a stand against the executive,and maintain it,no matter what consequen- cesshould flow therefrom. A majority of the whigs seem to concur in his views—they are willing to suf- fer the great interests of the people to be prostrated while they contend with the President on a mere punctilio. They declare this on the floor, and they are encouraged by alarge portion of the whig press. A more reprehensible, a more atrocious principle of action, was never avowed in a legislative body. Mr. Adams and his coadjutors all aver, as with one voice, that there is no law for the collection of revenue—that the Executive is without the legal authority to levy duties on imports, and consequently that there are no means to carry on the government. Witha full conviction that "thi i actually the case, these gentlemen declare their determination to do nothing to remove the difficul- ties, because they would incur personal dishonor by ielding to the President. In other words, they rée- juse to take any steps to relieve the country, because the President will not give upto them. We shall see what the people have tosay on this matter by and by. Newark, Ohio. [Correspondence of the Herald.] Newark, Onto, Aug. 12, 1842. Resignation of the Whig Senators and Representatives tothe Ohio Legislature, State Convention, §c. Yesterday morning (Thursday) it was found that the whig members had resigned their seats in our Legislature, and that the two Houses were without a constitutional quorum. The democratic majority in each House is but two, whereas the constitution requires two-thirds to make a quorum. The osten- sible reason for this course on the part of the whigs will be,no doubt,the assertion of an effort onthe part of the majority to gerrymander the State so as to se- cure an undue number of democratic representatives to Congress. The conduct of the whigs in thus break- ing up the Legislature has created great excitement among the people, and will cause the next election to go off with unwonted zeal and vigor. he great hig Yomi Men’s State Convention will come off in thiscity on the 24th of August, and will be addressed by Governor Corwin, and by other distinguished men. Thave_ just learned that the number of members of the General Assembly, who resigned, were 42, 28 representatives, and 14 Senators. There were 35 whig representatives, and 17 whig Senators, and of course 7 whig represenatives aud 3 Senators did not follow the example set by their political bre- thren. ¥ The bill to provide for the appraisement of person- al property taken on execution, which required such property to fetch two-thirds of its appraised value at sales by constables, &c., although it had passed both Houses, was not enrolled, examined by the com- mittee on enrolment, nor signed by the Speakers, of course has not received the usual and neces- sary attestations of its correctness. It is believed that the people of this State, under the existing law, will have to go on and elect 19 representatives to Congress instead of 21, as no apportionment can now be expected before the October election. The following are the words of the law:— “Seo. 26.—That on the second Tuesday of Oct. in the year 1842, and at every period of two years thereaft electors of each Congressional district, that now which shall Ls tea be laid off, and bee pee ae vote for a auitable person or persons to represen State in the Congress of the U. 8.,” &e.

The thermometer stood at 88 in theshade. [Having some leisure time, we took the arm of afriend, and slowly wended our way to Tivoli Falls about three miles from the city. This place is much resorted to by our citizens to free themselves from the bustle, anxieties and cares of city life, and by the ambitious student to while away a pleasant hourin the refreshing breeze which fans the thoughtful brow. The scenery at this place truly charming-—and indeed would challenge eomparison with many places in our country better An Sin i— known. Some parts are really enchanting, having the appearance of a fairy land. We had a fine op- portunityt o view the distant landsbape from our sit- uation on the mountain top, The bright sun shone forth in all his majesty—the sky clear as crystal— searce a cloud was to be seen excepting here and there struggling in their upper abyss—as far as the eye could discern in the western horizon were some dark crimson colored clouds intermingling with blue und purple, then breaking off, leaving long streaks of white and saphire curling together like the rippled waves of the beautiful ocean. Flowerets bloomed on hill and dale—fields of corn bent gri fully to the breeze, and new mown hay sent forth “*most delightiul odour”’—nature’s songsters made the forests vocal with melody, and our mother earth seemed joyously to smile in anticipation of a boun- teous harvest to the husbandman. ‘To any lover or enthusiast in nature’s school, the whole scene was one full of romance and beauty. One day last week we visited the Alms House— situate about a mile from the city. It is neatly fitted up, and the arrangements throughout are ord lerly.— ‘The superintendent is a Mr. Stephen Ableman, from whom we received many kind attentions. We saw singular scenes at this place ; a vivid description of the whole aflair you shall have in our next. Te-day ove of our military companies, the Van Rensselaer Guards went on an excursion to Hud- son, accompanied by Engine Company No. 11.— They paraded through the different streets, and made a handsome display—we saw them off in the Steamer, which was decorated with all kinds of de- vices, flags, Wc. ‘*Gay beauty” shone conspicu ous in the crowd, and as they passed the city, they fired a salute—the boom of the guns reverberated through the mountains and valleys of the noble Hudson. Pretty nearly all our wise | ators arrived to- day. As the extra session lasts but ten days, many have brought their fodder with them. Up this way there is nothing ing, excepting in the polit field, As you are aware, the convention at $ cusesoon takes place for the nomination of atesfor Governor ; and the general opinion is, that should Bouck get the nomination, he will, without doubt, be elecied. Among the old and steady yeomanry of the demo cratic ranks, whose minds are matured in political action, Capt. ers name isa ‘‘host,”\this last act, the veto, has brought him many friends from among the democracy, who will stand by him through thick and thin. Matty Van Buren is not mention- ed but with contempt. He is too much of a politi- cal gambler—his days are numbered—and may con- sider himself among the list of fallen statesuen.— Flagg, Sam Young, Dix, and Neddy Croswell are busy as bees, concocting plans for the ensuing cam- paign. The State Barber is not idle either, but drumming up new recruits to compete with them. It will bea hot contest. There will be a strong ee a long pull, and a pull altogether—and as the rishman said, whoever beats will prove victorious. We shall advise you daily of what ever occurs in this city—a second Golgotha for roguery and cor- ruption. Yours, Srenror. Navy General Court Martial on board of the U, S, ship North Carolina, Wepnespay, Aug. 17, 1841. It being understood that the trial of Lieut. Charles Wilkes, Commander of the late Exploring Expedition, was to commence this day, the quarter deck was filled at an early hour, by numerous spectators, as well asthe host of witnesses subpoenaed to attend the Court Martial, all seemingly anxious to learn the full history of an expedi: tion which has been of vast expense to the country, and the benefits of which yet remain to be discovered. Lieut. Wilkes came on board in company with his counsel, Peter Hamilton, Esq., and appeared to be jaded and worn down by overexertion and ill-health. At the opening of the Court Lieut. Wilkes produced cer. tain letters which had passed between the secretary of the Navy and himerl!, relative to a demand from the Judge Advocwie, tei he should produce certain papers, consisting of journals, logs, general orders, &c., on the present trial, which papers, &c. are now in.
