1.-The Auditor of State reports the
public debt at SIS, 2OO,O 900, nearly all OF
which has been incurred for the canals
for which, ii seems, we received $751;
459. The account of interest and re-
ceipts stands thus:
Ns,t Rsceint. of phil Wort: 10 40
Provided by Tax..--.---- .---.---- '41,54l
"While our State Auditor, therefore,
tells US we pay little for the State, here
are some figures which tell a very differ
ent story"
1t is of no use for our neighbor TO play
the innocent" game, and think to gull
the people of this county by mere force
of buster and bravado. The facts are
altogether too notorious. The free press
of the State has been ringing with the
story of the swindling commissioners Of
Hamilton county, the home of the Miami
tribe. Commissioner Patton, a Locoloco
Democrat of the s~traitest sect, has been
tried by the Court of Common Pleas, for
misdemeanor in Office, convicted, fined
$500, 1.-THE mildest penalty of the law
and deprived ofhis Office. His colleague,
Miller, is also accused. This was about
two weeks since. Is the memory of u
neighbor so very short In The same
county, Timanus has proved a defaulter
to the tune of over thirty thousand dollars.
Yet the Democrat challenges US 10 bring
examples of Locofoco extravaganza, mis-
management, or peculation. 1t has
probably forgotten that the draft of their
State Treasurer on New York, in favor
of the W. R Bank, for a very large sum,
was protested some time since! 1t does
not know that the whole State is boiling
with indignation at the democratic princi-
pie of taxation which is making men pay
taxes on what they owe as well as what
they possess, and is thus doubling and
even trebling the burden of taxation upon
those who are least able to pay 1t rep
resents NJ tar party,-oh, mol What
say the people to that?
The fact is well known that a financial
agent is kept in New York at the expense
of the State, and it has been charged
again and again that this arrangement
was a burden of between four and FIVE
thousand dollars per mum to the Stale,
whereas, when the Wing party was in
power, it used 10 cost the State nothing.
Yet the Treasurer refuses to make any
exhibit of that expense, notwithstanding
the laws of the State call for a particular
schedule of items. Does not that smell
of Encouragement?
Every charge of being pr~o-slavery,
and pro-taxation, is abundantly substan-
tiated, and we have still a budget of
facts, some of which the Democrat and
its best friends would not admire, to
which we may treat the defenders of this
immaculate patty, when occasion shall
offer. The less our neighbor says of the
purity of Locofoco officials, the better for
itself.
FRANK LEsLIE's GAZETTE OF FASHION /:
Published by Frank Leslie, IL Spruce
street, N. Y, at 25 cts. q number, or
50 per annum.
The August number is received. We
do not profess TO be a connoisseur of
ladies' dress, but think there would be
as much truth in The remark of Henry
Ward Beecher, if aPl lied 10 ladies, as TO
men. He says: elf dress does not
make the man, after the man is made,
he looks much better when well dressed"
This number is full of patterns and en-.
cravings of different articles CT ladies'
dress. Mr.. Leslie says many editors
have made the following mistake, viz ::
that the Gazette IS only a fashion book
intended for Milliners and Dress Makers;
such is not the case-although no per-
son in those branches of business can be
thoroughly posted up without receiving
monthly instruction from it--yet the real
object Of the editors is, to make amonth-
ly record of fashions and fashionable in
telligence, needlework, music, reviews
of new books, articles on dress, practical
recipes, amusements, etc. intended for
the lady and family.
