BOSTON JOURNAL,

ltiS naruly necessary 10 pcak. In many
years it has confcsscdly stood at the head
of the newspaper press OF New England.
/ This position was attained not through
any special effort on the part Of its pub
| fishers to increase the circulation by
agents or other Of the usual means, but
because it has proved to be such paper
as every moral, intelligent man in the
community might with prOpricty introduce
into his family circle, to be read by his
children and from which he might draw
for them both instruction and entertain
ment. With such character it has earn
ed the position it occupies; and the fact
that its circulation is much larger than
any other paper of its class in New Eng
lond, is the clearest proof of the estima-
in which it is held by the reading commu-
nifty.
What the Journa has been in the past
We intend it shall be in the future. Our
aim is TO make it cmphatically
A FAMILY NEWSPAPER.
| We eintend that it shall be q complete
record Of tho events of the age in which
we live that the attentive and careful
reader of its pages shall be able to gather
from them accurate and reliable intOrna-
ton OF every event ofintercst in poll tics
the arts and sciences, mcrals and religion
in this country and in foreign lands; and
they shall have this sintormation at an ear
lier day than they can obtain it from any
other source. In all its departments,
Editorial, News, Commercial, Literary
/ Miscel laneous, we intend that it sha III be
second to no other paper issued in this
country.
The present season is a favorable onG
for the organization Of Clubs for suOscrip-
tion to the Journal. One enter rising
man in each Town and Village can, with
very little trouble get up Club of ten or
more persons, and thus get his own paper
for nothing.
We are now ready to receive subscrip.
tions for the Weekly journal from Clubs
for the year 1857. And we can assure all
those who avail themselves of the liberal
terms on which it is offered, that no effort
will be spared to make it worthy their con-
fidence and patronage.

CHICAGO, Aug. %, -.

CHICAGO, Aug. 30, -.
Editor If Tnes Yesterday, on my re.
turn home from short visit 10 the Upper
Mississippi, a friend called my attention to
articles in various newspapers, associating
my name with certain land speculatons in
our new territories. and plausibly connecting
my recent visit TO Minnesota with the sale
oil the Fort Smelling Military Reservation.
While am ia the habit Of treating the dai.
y assaults Of the partizan press with indif.
ference, relying upon the people, who know
me, to do me justice, deem it proper 10 say
that my recen, visit to Minnesota had no
reference 70 the sale Of the Fort Smelling
Reservation nor to the sale or the purchase
Of amy other land. When 50 many of our
public men visit our new territories and
frontier settlements during the recess Of
Congress, for the purpose OF obtaining in.
formation which may be useful to them and
TO the country, in the performance Of their
public duties, IL is hardly Just 10 assume

Tie following are the closing paragraphs
Of the report made 10 the Governor Of the
State Of Ohio by the officers appointed &C
cording toiaw TO investigate the recent de-
ialchions in the State treasury:
y mo one. We think, can read the tes,imo-
ny which is here appended, ami Of which we
have given brief extract in the foregoing
pages. without being convinced that the two
late treasarers were wholly unworthy the po-
Stions they have occupied. 1t ia our opin-
ion that John q. Breslin abstraeted the
money from the treasury, and that William
II Gibson. by corcealing the dedication
and denying i's existence, has disrcgarded
truth and his sworn official duty. Whatever
may be their respective legal liabilities, we
are not AIDE 70 discoyer any difference in TIE
moral character Of their actions.
WHERE Is TIE PEOPLES MONEY!
I'VE are not able to give q full aud salts
factory answer to. this question. 1t is I'M
reasonable 10 expect that an investigation Of
few weeks duration should unrayel all tie
intricacies Of a complicated fraud which was
many years in its consummation and devel-
opment. The deialca,ion is not Of recent
date. The author Of il has had time to COW
CT over the traces Of his guilt and obstruct
the sources of information. The parties to
whom the money may have been loaned, or
! with whom il has been entrusted, are inter
ested in withholding the fact Some Of the
witnesses have testified with great reIuc-
! .i!ance, The apswers az one Of them not ha-
ing very full and satisfactory, we addressed
him letter making more specific inquiry
Our letter and interrogatories remain unan-
/ swered
Had time permitted. the law had not CON
fcrred upon us the power necessary for the
complete solution Of this problem. Without
authority to send for persons and papers, to
enforce the attendance of witnesses, and TO
punish for contempt, no commission will ever
be able to tell where the money is 10 be
found, or how 1t is invested. II is doubt
iui whether even their ample powers will
bring to light all the secret. Of this fraud
All the facts are known to one only, and he,
though importuned to do so, has refused to
disclose them. Enough has been ELECTED TO
render it probable that the money has been
scattered with q free hand, and that The par
ties who now hold it are numerous, and
many OF them beyond the boundaries of this
State"
