The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1857-09-17

Why we do not publish the reports. We
do not wish to fill up our paper with such |
stale matter, 1T being OF no interest to any j
one except those who are fishing for the emol- |
uments of office. But says the PIONEER, the
Auditor offered t1 pay them well for it. Had
We published it under the proposition made us
we should have made ourselves a party to the /
fraud upon the tax payers of the county, las the
PIONEER HAS done.-DEMocRATIo UNION, Sept. |
Sd, 81.
We admit that the FACTS, which we
have heretofore published for the benefit
of the people of Wyandot county, in that
Court House Report" are stale; so old
in fact, that. that convenient provision OF
our Statutes, made to protect vlIainy sty-
led the Statute Of limitations, +" steps in and
saves the perpetrators of the fraud, fir, m
penal prosecution. 1t is charged above,
that the Report was published for cleo
tioneering purposes, and publishing the
same was fraud upon the Treasury that
the people understood the whole matter,
and were satisfied. That is simply
falsehood, and the writer knew it, if he is
posted, and if he is-not posted, we will posi-
him.
So long ago as 1852, the people of this
county, believing that they had been swim
died out of a large amount of money in
building their courthouse, demanded an
examination of the books and papers of
the Auditors Office, in order that they
might learn what had become Of the bull
ding fund, and other matters arising from
"the government land donation. =
Believing in the old-time democratic
doctrine, that the people by petition. have
the right to inquire into the acts of their
public officers, the people of Wyandot
County, without distinction of party, a.
mounting to over thousand names, pre-
sented petitions from almost every town
ship in the county, asking the examina-
ton, which has called down such calum-
NOUS denunciatons, from those most in
terested in that matter, upon Col. Nc.
4 Cutchen and the commissioners. At that
time, Chester r Mott, was auditor, j. v.
S. Hoyt was auditors clerk, and John
Welch sen. Ethan Terry and Isaac Wohl
gemuth, were commlssioners-ALL DEN
| OCRATS Those petitions, these splen-
did speci mems of the Slave Democracy
treated with the utmost contempt. Nc
notice was taken of them whatever, as the
journals Of the commissioners will show
and the bundle of petitions fled a
way in HoYrs' hand aoritiRg, Were con
ceaied in an obscure corner Of the vaul
of the Auditors Office, and no man from
that time, save Mott and Hoyteyer saw
them or kneao aOtere Mey cou5d be found,
until on the 2lst of Aug. last, Col. McCut
chen, in overhauling some old papers which
he was sending to the paper mill, foune
. them.
Here then Mr.. Un-ion, you have The
Auditors authority orpublishing the Re

defending an amicable suit Dare goa

Too BAD.-The way that Champion o.
Democracy Geo. W. Manypenny got US
ed. up, last Wednesday. Our Gerri
Smith friend, Clemons, was making a
speech on his own hook, in front of the
Mansion House, after George Washington
MANYPENNY, had finished his at the cour
house, pitching into the sham dem
ocracy in his own peculiar style, wher
the gentleman above mentioned, Interrupt
ted him with that sublime, glorious, un-
approachable, unanswerable, magnificent
and grandiloquent argument of those
who are suffering with PAINE in this can
: yass, "Would goa like to haze yoa
d daughter ma,ry niger? "Slr. salt
t Clemens turning around TO look the greo
; man square in the face. "Does it follow
: that because am willing that the blacI
! man should enjoy his natural and politi
: cal rights, that I am obliged to marry hi
daughter or sister, or that my daughter
or sister, as youso classically express,
should marry a aigger?' .'Would goa ne
: be as willing, that your daughter shoul
marry "nigger,''as poor white man?
