Corruption of our Public Officers

Corruption among our public fuactionaries
is so common, &c have almost come to the
conclusion that they regard it an essential
qualification, for the performance Of their Of.
tical duties.
To this, however, we are happy 10 know,
there are many honorable exceptions. 1t
has always been our notion that men elected
to make laws, or to execute them, should be
law abiding, and law keeping men, and it
strikes us that this is the view taken of the
matter by every good and rejecting citizen.
If this, then. is the mind and feeling Of onr
people, how disgusting must it appear in their
eyes, to see u man whdM they have hon Ired
with an Office Of trust and profit, hanging
about the groceries of the town, drinking with
the drunken; treating and being treated by
the vulgar and boated victims OF ntemper-
ance? And occasionally becoming 80 much
intoxicated, as to be under the necessity OF
holding on to the posts, and railing to keep
himself from falling into the gutter. Is it
agreeable to smell his BREATH and look upon
| his bloated face and blood shot eyes? Is ii
pleasant to see man once respected, and be-
loved. and promoted TO Office by his fellow
citizens sinking to the level Of the brute-be
coming lothsome to his family, and nuisance
to society: If such would hear. we would
say to them, "avoid the appearance Of evil,
come out from among your destroyers.
Does moi the man, who is lost to all senst
OF decency, and moral principle. inGulging il
vices so scandalous and diabolical, thai W,
dare not prin. them, disgrace not onl,
the Office 10 which he has been elected; bu
is he not a disgrace to the community in whicl
he lives, and a reproach to every man who
casts vote in his favor? Such are not isola
ted cases. they occur too frequently thorough
out our State. both among The high and low
in all parties.
But what caps the climax Of political COZ
rupton, is to elect a man TO Office, and ad
minister TO him an o tn, binding him to keep
and execute. SO far as his office extends, tn,
law, which every day of his life he violates
himself Yea, more, who is engaged directl,
in the work of manufacturing criminals; jus
as much so. as if he were engaged in counter
fei'ng. and inducing. by his influence, other
TO engage with him. Making men drunk
Fighting drunk, and til n dragging them off Il
Jail.
What in the name of morality must b
thought of that community. who with thpi
eyes open would elect and tolerate such al
officer7 And yer it is no less strange :ha
true. thst such cases do exis: in tho State Il
Ohio. For the sake of the honor of our Stat,
we hope that the day will soon come wher
lcommdn deeency will no longer be outrage,
by the election of such m 10 office. LIE
those whose portrait we have thus has,il,
sketcled, take warning for the of re,ribu
tion will come.

That the author may have ample time TO prepare

that the publishers may be enabled 10 issue the
