The Credit Of our State Going Down

When the Democrats went out of power
10 this State, the State stocks redeemable
In the year 1875 were selling at 81 i 2 for
each dollar; or, IL per cent. premium.
In less than one year after the Republic

deemable in 1856; thus allowing the stocks
eleven years longerto run, and thus max

troll Of Republicans 3 One of these
two things is true, and thercis no denying

they were corrupt scoundrels? :
It is highly probable that they did act
eorraptly, aud of course the Republicans
would rather admit this than to agree that

until these Republicans will have them at
the same figure or lower, if they arecon-

Horace Greeley may puff Chase's ad-
ministration, and the Republican platform
may claim that it is admired by our sister
States; but the test of it is in the snle OF
the stocks. 1t is easy to praise and puff,
but Greeley himself would not give as
much for our stocks by seventeen cents on

CINCINNATI, Dec. 80, 1851.
My DEAR SIR:-I enclose Mr.. Heaton's s
letter which speaks for itself I take it
for granted that SO far as the Treasury
makes .deposites in Cincinnati, they will
not be continued with the Trust Company.
The City Bank is, I have no doubt, safe
institution, and it is managed by excel
lent and liberal men. speak the more
impartially, as never borrowed dollar
FROM them.
/ presume that your arrangements rs to
'depositing here are already made. Ifnot,
though am bound in justice to say what
1 have of the City Bank I should feel still
more bound to ask your favorable notice
of the Mechanics and Traders Bank,
with which do all my own business, but
in which have no interest as stockholder
or otherwise. Yours, truly,
7a. S. p CHASE.
The State lost $4,000 by depositing
In that bank, and Gov. Chase was the
cause of it. One of the smelling com.
nlittees declared that at the time the de-
posit was made any man Of ordinary in
telligence might have known that the
bank was utterly rotten and worthless.
Chase being attorney for the bank and a
man of ordinary intelligence" the in
ference is not very hattering to the Gov
ernor's integrity
{ Thisis the kind of man to watch the
peoples money.
