The political curse Of this nation IS party.
Things have reached that pass that democ-
racy openly teaches that the men II elects
to office, are the servants Of the party and
pot-of tho people. So high an officer as a
Senator of the United States, in the person
of Maj. Gen. Pugh, declared openly in The
Senate, that he considered himself as the
representative of the democracy and not Of
the people of Ohio. To hold such scnti-
ment is scandalous. To publish It is afro
cious. Yet this is tho doctrine Of democ-
racy. It is corrupt corrupting and abom-
niable. 1t is turning the general govern
into vast engine Of party. From the
President down through the endless list Of
tidowaiters, postmasters, DC, every man un-
dcrstands his oath of Office to mean that he
is to devote body and soul to sustain the
democratic party. 1t was this vast array
of men and money that carried the last
Presidential election against the will of the
people. Democracy has parted with all but
its name, yet by the aid of cohort of Of
ficeholders who act as whippers in, it main
tains its hold on the national government.
The evil is destined to work its own cure.

II was quito inadvertcdly snid by q cotem-
porary, that there was difficulty IN paying
tho State Intefcst, and there might be a
called session Of the Legislaturei So far
from this being tfue, there never was time
when the Fund Commissioners Of Ohio
could not borrow. half a million Of dollars at
a days notice. But in this case, it was
only necessary to borrow comparatively
small sum. The amount of interest due Is
about $4,000. Of this 100000 had
been deposited in New York, ready to meet
the interest. Only about $l5o,oo0 remain
ed to be borrowed, and for this the State
has offers from two or three different sourc-
es; and might have in many more. The
only question is, the rate of interest. They
could borrow on their own responsibility
but, if necessary, have sufficient good COLA
terals to secure it.
Not only is tho interest secured but all
the ordinary civil expenses Of the State
Government will be paid in the usual man.

the case, and nothing will be omitted nec-

Such are the facts for eight years, and by
these facts it will be seen that the shortest
sessions which have been held in Ohio du-
ring those years, have been the two last,
which were the two in which the Republi-
cans were in power. In 1852, the Demo
Gratis being in power, thoy raised the pay Of
members to four dollars day and fixed it
at that sum by statute law. The shortest
session held by that party under the high
pay was one hundred and twenty days, and
the longest was one hundred and thirty
days, while the Republican sessions wero
respectively lo2 and lo4 days. Again: as
regards the cost. The Democrats run the
expenses up 10 over ninety thousand dol
lars. The Republicans reduced it down to
seventy thousand dollars making differ
ence of taoenty thousand dollars in favor o.
the State. With. these facts staring then
in the face, the Democratic organs have the
audacity to charge upon the Republicans
that they increased both the length and tho
cost of the sessionsof the Legislature, wher
in fact the very reverse Of all this is thu
exact truth"

The State Journal of Monday corects its
statement of Saturday that the Governor and
Auditor had not acted under the law of 1855
in regard to the examination of the treasury.
Auditor WRIeHT has informed the editor
of the Journal that an examination was
made at the time specified in the act for ma
king il, and everything in the Treasury was
apparently correct. The Journal says:
But it will be asked, if Mr.. Wright made
this examination, and Mr.. Kelley mado an
examination, and the Committee of Investi
CATION made an examination into the condi-
ton of the Treasury, and found the money
to be there, how was it accomplishedl The
answer is simple. Mr.. Gibson, in his desire
to screen Mr.. Breslin, no doubt borrowed the
money for the timo being, from certain
banks, and when he thought tho examina
tim was closed, returned it again. The
knowledge, however, that the law Of the Re
publican Legislature existed aud would bt
enforced by Governor Chase, and that an ex
Imination would be made when he was no
prepared for twas one of the chief causes
which led to an acknowledgements Of the de
felt, and Of the defalcation BY Breslin Of five
hundred and fifty thpusand. dollars.
The plunderod people would like to know
what banks aided Gibson in his rascality t.
cover up the rascalities of Breslin Let al
treasury robbers be exposed and punished
hit whom or where it may.

INSTINCT.

No vulturc or carrion crow ever swooped
down upon purifying carcass, with more
eager appetite, than docs the Messenger up
on the recent Developments of fraud in the
State Treasury. We would advise our mod
est cotcmporary not to put too much pow
der in his gun. 1t might kick its owner
over. Gibson deserves shooting for cover
ing up Brcslin's frauds. But Breslin ought
to be hung without benefit Of clergy. When
the proof is out, as it will be in week, that
Breslin, democratic Breslin, the Brcslin that
owned and controlled the Seneca Advertiser
in the days when Brother Flaugher was its
ostensiblc editor, has stolen the money, the
Messenger will have to throw up the load
of carrion it now has on its stomach.

We will now look to the truth of this

ment made above. The Ohio State Jour

lature would not advance their cause, they
have fallen back upon the Dred Scott de-

the Legislature sat, or has attempted to

cratic Legislatures which Immediately pre-
cedcd it. What they have omitted we
propose to supply, and we shall show from

Republican Legislature was in session less

than any Legislature that has convened in

A southorr, opinion OF senator seward

A Southern Opinion OF Senator Seward.
The New Orleans Times of Sunday, June
18th, thus speaks of Mr.. Seward:
We look upon Mr. Seward as the most
formidable candidate the north could choose.
He is wealthy, therefore the respectable
classes viii be with him; he is circumspect,
therefore the hypoesites and oily pastors
will support him he is Of subtle and refined
intellect, therefore the press will praise him
he is very firm of purpose, therefore the
crowd will stand in awe of him. We gain
nothing by disparaging foe-epd that MI
Seward is the most deadly foe Of the South
We never doubt; his opposition to slavery
while it assumes tho form of gradual abo-
liton system, which is willing that the Insti
tuition shall remain where it now is but shall
never be extended to another mile of terri
tory, is far moro dangerous than the doc
trine of Garrison, GEeeloy, and the whole
raco Of fanatics, sNy Stewards design /:
that the north should grow each year NOR,
strong, and the south moro weak; that th,
frontier states, where even at this hour abo
litionism is openly preached, should be ab
sorbed by tho north, and then the south de
prived of federal power, weakened by losses
with the emissaries of her enemy in ever,
town, should be at the mercy Of the abo
llitionists. i t PIG of
