The Presidency.

Ii seems to be settled point, now. tha
there will be three candidates for the
Presidency before the people at the ap.
preaching election, and as two of those
candidates will be opponents of the pre-.
sent Locofoco "rule or RUM dynasty, il
will be necessary for those who are op.
posed to the principles of that party and
who desire its defeat to await the action
of the Republican party before they de.
eide what course to pursue.
If we would succeed. it is very impor.
tant that the opposition forces should bt

some one man. If this cannot be done
we can hardly hope for success-"u united

Then, We say to our friends, be no
hasty in committing yourselves to any
man or any particular course let us bs

will be most likely to insure success.
we can do it without sacrifice Of prin

STARTLING Facts.

In response to a resolution Of the Sem
late asking the State House Commission.
ers to report forthwith, the authority un-
der which they have made contracts fol
work and materials beyond the sums ap-
propriated by law; & also how much work
has actually been done, materials &C;
iually furnished beyond the amount oI
said appropriations, it appears that these
men havs actually expended beyond the
appropriations, thus made by the Legisla-
ture at its last session, the sum of Three
hundred and Eight thousand, one hua-
dred and 7wenty Fire Dollars and Forty
two Cents!
Commenting on this report ofthe State
House Commissioners, the State Journal
says:
Here is an exhibit that cannot fail to
attract the attention of the tax payers of
Ohio. We venture the assertion that a
parallel case cannot be found in the an
nails of the Union. Such wreckless ex.
travagance, such utter disregard of the
express wishes of the people, has not be-
fore been manifested in Ohio. Two years
ago, the legislature, after long debate,
made an appropriation of Sl75,o0o for
the two years oil853-4 and 1854-5.-
The Commissioners asked and insisted
upon a larger appropriation, but the
Legislature determined that this was
as much as the people could afford to ex-
pend upon this building in that time
Nothing could more clearly indicate to
the Commissioners their duty in the prem
ises. 1t was plain and substantial in
struction to them to keep themselves with
in that appropriation.
But, with recklessness that has no
parallel, and which Cannot fail 10 meet
the unanimous condemnation of the peo-
nte Of Ohio, the Commissioners have
spurned all advice, all instruction, all ex-
cept their own extraordinary whims, and
have squandeyed the peoples treasure as
we have indicated. They have spent the
$l75,000 and they have incurred debt
of one third Of malion Of dollars. This
sum is left to the Republican Admins
tration to pay, or to repudiate these con-
tracts, and the labor OF those who have
been the recipients OF their favors. Look
at this prospect for moment, see where
these locofoco rulers have left the fnan-
ces Of the State. Here is a debt Of one
third of million of dollars. The Luna
tic Asylums are one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars in debt. Other State
institutions are in debt. The grand ag.
gregate is, that our party finds about
HALF MILLION of dollars of debts con.
tracted by our opponents, opponents and left as 8
legacy for US to pay. The people-the
tax payers may well congratulate them
selves that they have SO soon been able tc
reach and remove these vampires. The
cost of their reign is before US, and mus
be met. But the remembrance of it viii
not soon pass away. Let their deeds be
probed to the bottom, and let their rotten
ness and corruption be exposed to the
gaze OF an outraged and indignant pub

DEFENcEs OF New YoRK.-An editori-
al statement in the Journal of Commerce
informs us that the national government
has been, for many months past, t,engaged
in Strengthening the Notifications of the
harbor of New York, by substituting guns
of a very long range and large calibre for
those previously in use. These new guns
are manufactured at West Point, and dis
tributed to the various military works in
the neighborhood of New York as fast as
they are ready. AS regards the materi-
al Of war, the Journal says that there is
always large amount of 1t accumulated
in the repositories near that city, and an.
other paper says that at present the store
is unusually great. The existing works
have been much strengthened, and are
kept in a high state Of efficiency, and ad-
ditional defences are proposed to be con
structed. This is one of the lessons
taught by the Russian war. We are GLAD
to see that our government has had the
sagacity to appreciate these teachings, ane
trust that the same activity manifested
to put New York in complete state o
! defence will be shown towards other i'm
portant points, which at present are bu
poorly cared for.

The Devil NECESSARY. = Brigham
Young, in sermon to. Mormon brother
preached the necessity OF deyil--a real
scarecrow devil He held that, but for
devil to whip the sinners in with, through
their fears, it is possible that not a single
one could be saved, notwithstandi g the
advent Of Christ. It is the devil, says
Brigham, that is after the sinners with a
"sliarp stick,' to work out their salvation
and he makes more saints than every 9TH
er agency combined. At first this struck
us as an unusually large credit mark for
his Inferpalship, but on reflection we dc
not see that Brigham looks to the devil 70,
saving help any more than tile various
sectarians who teach the existence and po-
tency of Satan. They all make him a
corner stone, prop and pillar-a sort o.
prime essential wheel in divine economy
1 Brigham is devlishly orthodox.

Rg- The Cincinnati papers contain &C.


counts of the loss Of the steamboat Henry
Lewis, on the morning Of the 9th inst, on
the Ohio river, just below Troy, Indiana,
There is no special interest attaching to
this casualty over the hundreds of others
attended With the loss of life, every year,
except, that the Lewis had on board the
slaves of Mr.. Gaines, who were fugitives
not from service, but--from justice, this
time under the guidance of their master
and under the protection of the Law !
What difference.
In the confusion, the child OF the Slave
Margaret, the one she attempted to kill at
Cincinnati, was lost overheard. It is not
known whether this occurred by accident,
or whetherthe mother threw it overheard:
one thing is certain, she reioices over as
death! What a spectacle is this! Mar
garet declares she never will reach alive
her place of destination in Arkansas
Seven lives are known to have been lost
by the sinking of the boat, though none
other of the Slaves of Mr.. Gaines were
among the missing.
In heroic times, Margaret would be a
heroine. In superstitious times, the loss
Of the Henry Lewis with its accursed car
60, would have been thought Judgment
of God. In this progressive age it is
thought a good speculation to steal ne
gro from the clutches CT the law, but bad
one to detain him from his master. For
the nice distinctions in the latter case, we
"ould refer the curious to the decision OF
Judge Leavitt in the recent collision be-
tween civil law and criminal law, in Civ
cinnati. in which the criminal went to the
wall under the pressure of foreign juais-
diction and negro catching. Long live
the Republie!-- O. S. Jourmal.

FAMINE AMONG THE INDIANs.-The ST..
Paul Democrot says that there is such a
suffering among the Indians of Minneso-
ia, especially among the Yankions of the
Missouri. Owing to their proximity to the
belligerent Sioux ofthe Missouri, the Gov
ernment saw proper to interdict the trade
in guns or ammunition with them last fall
as consequence, they We're thrown back
upon the primitive means of securing game
by the bow and arrow. Buffalo being
scarce near the Missouri last fall, they
came over TO the James River, hoping te
find subsistence for the winter, but it ap.
pears they were sadly disappointed, and
the failure of buffalo IN the winter, wher
travelling was impossible has subjected
them to all the horrors Of famine and ex
posure to the inclemeney of severe wintel
