~ We wish the taxpayers 10 bear this
fact in mind. This is among the first
fruits of Wing legislation in Pennsylva-
mia. 1t was among the first fruits of
Wing legislation in Ohio. Under Loco
foco rule and with Locofoco extravagance,
both these States had been driven TO the
verge of repudiation; but when The peo-
pie sawthe necessity for it and made a
change in their financial agents, the good
effects became at once apparent. Men
may talk as much as they please about
"Galphinism," but at last we must have
recourse 10 facts, not rhetoric. One of
these facts is recorded above others are
written in the past few years of the his
tory of Ohio--stll others have been al.
luded to in this paper from time to time
n In both these States, strong efforts. are
now being made 10 bring back the old
order of things; but it the people are
true to themselves, if they have any re-
gard for their own interests, if they wish
the public finances to be managed dis.
creetIy, economically and honestly, they
will repudiate the claims of those men
q who unblushiugly acknowledge that "to
the victors belong the spoils." Such men
are not to be trusted. 'r'
q5. Locopoco CoRRuPTroN.-The Penn
sylvania Wing papers are making some
awful disclosures of Locofoco corruption
in that State. In one work--the Free
port AcquedOct-it has been ascertained
that the check rolls show an amount paid
out which far exceeds tile sums received
by lhe worlsmen. Only one third of the
men employed have been examined, and
yet they were charged with nearly ST.,
600 more than they received. and nc
doubt if the whole could have been ex
atnined, lit would have been found tha
over Sc 900 was drawn from the Treas
.ury more than was paid to the workmen
and accounted fm by making false charg

D' Simila, disclosures were made in THU
State when the Wings first came into
power, and especially in the same de
opartm nit. Both in Pennsylvania ant
Ohio, the Locofocos are again trying Il

the State Governments, finances and all
One would suppose that the leaders

Auditor Brough is still fresh in the mind
of the people. 4e
@a In our own State it will be remember
ed that Breslin, who acknowledged tn
.'double balloting," is the Locofoco can
didate for Treasurer. and Morgan CHI
of the same block, is candidate for Az
fditor. Against them are presented Bills
and Woods, who have been tried and .
gainst whose integrity no man dar
breathe word of suspicion.
The people Of Ohio should remembe
these things. The Wings have had til
control of the finances of the State ft
