,h.v have urged no other objections that We
are aware off, and 90 for it with their might
nd main. The points we have made might

d;snosed. Lns orr object is simply to call the

mt. on the score Of expenses. we havs the
.,c.meot with us. 1t has been generally coa-
coded that the expenses Of State Govera-
,nent will amount 10 $50, 900. which sum. we |
are satisfied. is too high. This is period
.hen Government, as well as individuals. must
prac,ice economy; we want plain and cheap
government.
With us. lands are snbject TO taxation as
som as ,hey are entered. which has heretofore
been otherwise in the Territories and new
States.
II has been urged that the expenses OF our
judiciary wenld be oppressive on orr el''zens'
well, what Of it; had we not better have
system Of judiciary. even il we have to de'ray
the expenses ourselves, than remain as we a!e'
uiftout any at all, and liable at any time TO be
deprived Of one, either through the neglect OF
design Of those who know not. or care not q.
bout us but how are the facts! The general
government has its courts in every State, ano
supports them too, and it wonld only be ex-
pensss Of the courts while setting for the State,
that the people would have 10 bear, and this
they have to do now after the first week OF
the term, and business is SO increasing ~ the
several counties as 10 require two weeks. ~
most Of them, to enable the court 10 desPatcn
the business; and this expense comes out OF
the people, SO on this score they Will not nave
an additional BURDEN to bear.
~ The last Standard contains eommu-
nication over the signature OF 20 IN THE COR

by the Bloomington Herald This We deny.
no, doubling but that the Standard was SO in
formed, "o black and white by" in The
corner;" nevertheless, the communication
published in the Standard, was never sent 10
The Herald Office, nor was il ever seen by the
Editor until he saw it in the Standard, all that
@, has said to the contrary notwithstanding.
Can this 20 in the corner" who has ap-
reared before the public in times past as an
author Of miserable slang IKE the present
communication, and who is better known than
perhaps he is aware Of; expect to be believed
in his statements in defence Of his ten friends
who have so generously come forward TO aid
him when he sends forth his defence accom-
panied by SO glaring falsehcod! We turn
him over to the good feelings of his friends.
His statement of the "charge" purpor,ng
10 have been signed by the ten, is more gar
bled % than was that furnished the Herald and
upon which the comments were based. aud
yet he brings what he calls "proofs" and
asks you to believe them, why it is absurd,
whether profe rred as law or gospel; perhaps
if he would back out and try again, he might
get ri,hted the third time.
We nigh. 60 on and answer the statements
of"Q," but We cannot separate them from
the company they keep. and we have shown
that their introduction is wanting in the es-
senta attributes of ",ruth and veracity,''
moreover the issue is with the ten. rather than
with him who comes in at the eleventh hour,
though we doubt not he was in the corner
when the "charge" had its birth, if he did
not oficia,e a, its baptism.
20 in the corner asks "when ten re-
spectacle men make an assertion Of the en-
istance of a fact about which they profess to
know without any discrepancy in their tes,i-
mony, having no pecnniary interest in the
matter and to which they stand equally indi(-
ferent with the whole community in which
they live--what kind Of testimony and how
many witnesses will be required to establish
fact
We reply as to the '.kind Ct testimony"
that We want knowledge Of not "rrefessine 10
know The facts, and as TO :" how many wit
nesses " if they are interested, (,hough they
may not be pecuniariy, they are politically
and this is matter Of politics) legion will
not do. "and you dare not say" that 20 in
the corner" is not interested as well as some
if not majority Of the ten.
The boas,ed author Of the charge, though
we doubt very much whether he did not have
Cue at his back when he taxed his brain to
bring forth so famous production, says, that
the ten are quiet peaceable citizens, never
medling in politics, and should not thus be
wantonly drawn into a newspaper controver-
81 probably this is the reason :. @ in the cor
ner ''has been called in to their assistance.
But let us eaxmine this " saying" of the
father of denominations - and see how il,
