Locofoco Tax Fight Warns of Gold and Silver Bondage
A Hamilton county Locofoco meeting endorses the State Convention, passes a resolution favoring tax collection in gold and silver, and predicts drastic banking reforms. The piece argues that abolishing banks would force foreign currency into the state, deplete local specie, and rely on brokers offering hard money at high costs. Farmers are urged to unite behind this principle.

Ohio House Debates On New County and Constitution Bill
Columbus correspondence from January 26 1846 describes a lively House session. Debates over creating Ma yoning county heated between Vallandigham Williams Barnes and Hibbard with the latter supporting the bill. A petition from Cincinnati ladies urged a heavy bachelor tax grounded in biblical doctrine. Discussion also covered a constitutional convention and changes to judges and corporations, with mixed support and petitions. The Oregon question and a plan to adjourn mid February surfaced as sessions continued.

Legislation on bill stalls as assembly splits votes
A factional debate over a public bill shows yeas and nays split. The bill risks failure without two thirds in joint ballot. A replacement joint resolution is proposed but unlikely to pass. In Norwalk a Mechanics Institute meeting appoints a drafting committee and schedules another gathering for February 7 at the Court House.
