The scatter plot is easy:

plot(pH1 ~ pH2, data = OBJ)

When you say a loess for each -- how do you break them up? Are there
repeat values for pH1? If so, this might be hard to do in base
graphics, but ggplot2 would make it easy:

library(ggplot2)
ggplot(OBJ, aes(x = pH1, y = pH2)) + geom_point() + stat_smooth() +
facet_wrap(~factor(pH1))

or something similar.
