The following paragraphs taken from sim
gle number of the Statesman, show what gem
eral good feeling and satisfaction has been
produced by very short period of Locoloco
ascendancy:
The Ono LEeIsLArURE.---This body,
which has been in session for about eight
months, from first to last, will adjourn on Mon
day next, after which time we hope to give
our readers something better than daily dry
details that only now and then excite the
least interest in the public mind. We have
thrown away hundreds of dauarS to report and
publish these proceedings, merely to accom-
modote the Legislature, yet we have received
only the cold satisfaction of not even getting
pay for the printing Of their first session.
Such conduct will make pretty record before
our honest, confding people.
1t is with the utmost reluctance that we
can consent to be compelled to expose men
elected to Office as Democrats; but their own
conduct drives us to that course. If we can
get copy of the scandalous report Of the
State Auditor on this subject, we will appeal
to the people for justice, as last resort.
PUBLISHING LAWS BY CoNTRAcT.-We
refer to this law in our paper to-day, and the
advertisement Of the Secretary of State to
give them out here to the lowest bidder. The
law reads as though the authors OF it were
ashamed of it, and the advertisement is not
much better. 1t appears that any paper in
the State can bid to publish the laws in this
city!H as the bids are not confined to the
Columbus papers! More anon!
Col. MED IL AND CHARGES OF CoRRUP-
TIoN.--The Dayton Journal has admitted into
its columns, an article purporting to come
from the pen Of democrat" assaling in a
most infamous manner the conduct OF Col.
Medill tour candidate COR Governor,) when he
was the efficient and incorruptibe Superin-
tendcnt of Indian Affairs under President
Polk. If the writer and the Journal have not
stirred up matter which, when fully exposed
will exhibit the official conduct of Col. Me-
dill in most favorable light, and all who op-
posed him at the time as aboring under the
influence Of private interest, or weak error,
then we will confess that we are mistaken in
the man.
We think the writer is Wing, and has as
sumed the alias of a Democrat in order to
gain character for honesty a. veracity. II he
is a Democrat, then he is dishonest and mali
cious in the pursuit of some infamous private
motive. and unworthy of any honorable treat
ment.
In good time the .tdcts will be before the
people of the State, and in advance of them
we have no hesitation in affirming that the
honesty and integrity of the Democrtic nom
inee for Governor, will stand the test of the
kcenest scrutiny, and grow brighter in the
estimation of honest men, the more violently
they are assailed.-C Enquirer.
Col. Mediil after quietly looking on at the
papers in his especial interest in pouring out
their vile and infamous ISLANDERS upon us, can
here see that he is not free from charges him
SELF We have not seen the article in the
Dayton paper referred TO, but we remember
that these charges were made on the floor of
Congress by Democrats, yet we never for u
moment believed them, and we do not think
they are worthy of the least belief. Yet the
Enquirer and its especial advisers can see how
easy it would be to fill the State with crim-
nations and re-criminatons, and send the De-
mocratic party of Ohio TO the lowest depths
OF defeat and disgrace. There seems to be a
curious settlement of accounts on hand, and
let the consequences be on the getters of it
