The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1856-10-16

GERS of State, we have one further item
to offer. aa.
The Auditor of State under Loco rule
had contingent fund of SO, 10000
Under Republican rule, not one cent-a
clean saving in this particular of $9, 500
No one will pretend that the salary of Of
fcers or judges was raised last winter.
But now take the appropriation which fell
short for judges in 1855.
Appropriation ng $68,OOO, 90
Fell short 100000
Total, 1855 1900, 90
This ST., 900 was paid by the Repub-
licans, (see laws, page 2o9.
Republican appropriation Sc, SO, 800.
Decrease, 1000. These facts are very
different from the false statement of the
Buchancers. a He ,s.l
The statement in relation to the Peni-
tertiary shows, that .small boats should
keep close to shore" -
Let the whole truth be proclaimed y
Republicans are to expend, as stated by
the Advertiser, 100000 in 1856 in sup
porting the Penitentiary. How much
was expended in 1855? The appropria
ton was $45,OO but at the.end of the
year that Institution owed $32, ,262, so,
to pay which the money was appropriated.
See laws of 1856, page 22o. They cost
$77, 1862, 80 for 1855, as shown by the
Warden's report and the laws referred
to, so that here the Republicans actually
saved l7,262,e0 instead of wasting 15,-
900, as Breslin's scribblers, SO recklessly
stated. a 81 @@ II saz a s-
TAXES ERRoNEoUsLY AssEssED.-Here
we are gravely told $4,000 is appropri-
ated to refund taxes enormously assessed
by Republicans in 1856. But it is at
least admitted that it is to meet taxes il
legally collected from the Banks. The
locofocos passed law for the taxation of
banks in 1852, which was claimed yiolat-
ed the federal Constitution.
The first Judicial opinion pronounced
upon that question, was by VIM. Lang.
Esq, then Probate Judge of this county;
and then as now democrat That
opinion would have done honor to any
Judge and in it, he held, that the law is an
constitutional. and he granted an injunc-
ton to prevent the collection of taxes un-
der it. Auditor Morgan however was
rabid upon the subject, and by means oi
the ''Crow Bar" law lie collected about
100000 from the Banks illegally. The
Banks sued. The State expended thous-
ands, in paying Attorneys, but the banks
at last defeated the State. The opinion
Of Judge Lang, was fully sustained, BY
the Supreme Court of the United States,
six of the nine Judges being democrats
The taxes being held illegal by the highest
Judicial tribunal The banks had right
to recover back the amounts, collected
from them by Mr.. Morgan.
! These taxes, then, were not assessed by
the Republicans, but by the Locofocos
and were at length pronounced illegal by
a Locofoco Court, as they had been a
first, by Judge Lang, whose democracy
and integrity no one will doubt. Relying
upon the official report Of w. Morgan
$50, 900 was thought sufficient to refund
to the banks. e-e,..f fz4
Upon inquiry we are informed that the
$50, 900 has been expended for that pur
pose, and that $4,000 more will be re.
quired. a.ECH . s8E3>tfs8at at#as5
But we charge that the Republicans re-
ceived the government, with debt o
$755,719, 90, recklessly contracted by the
corrupt locofoco administration, consisting
of the following items: -
Ohio Lunatic Asylum, $24,O25,4l
