The state of the Ohio treasury and the
open resistance TO the execution Of the laws
and their sad train OF consequence, show
what Repubicanism has done for the Buck
eye state. New York is pink OF a Re
publican State Her Constitution has been
violated by the Legislature filling her session
laws with tyrannical enac,mcnts. Her courts
are continually called upon to declare their
statutes void for want Of constitutional power
to enact them. The nine-million loan bill
passed to give Int contracts to hungry Re
pablicans, and her tyraunical Maine law, are
illustrations. Her highest court is now
considering the New York city police law,
claimed to be equally invalid Her public
debt Is continually increased and her taxes
are becoming intolersble. Her state au-
thorities are srrayed against those Of her
commercial city. and the people within its
limits are in a state little better than actual
war. Such is her condition that many
