A Plain QUestiOM.--SVilO will AR
SWGF!

On the 29th of March, 1857, w. II. Gibson.
then Treasurer of State, under the solemnitles
of an oath stated that John G. BreSn his pre-
decessor in Office had PAID TO HIM 1886 900 THE
WHOLE AMOUNT DUE, except the amount repor-
ted by Breslin as lost by deposit Why is it,
then, that Salmon ?. Chase attempts to deceive
the people by falsely stating that the deficit oc-
cured prior to Gibsons term of office? Do Mr..
Chase and his mouth-piece pretend to say that
Gibson swore falsely?
1--WE submit these facts: from tie oficid rec
o,ds, to the people. They can make such de-
ductions and comments as they obviously war
rant:''
KEEP II BEFORE THE PEOPLE, That
w. FL. Gibson, the Black Republican Treasurer
Of State, stole half million 0fthe peoples mon

KEEP II BEFORE THE PEOPLE-That
Alfred Kelley examined the Treasury on the
29th Of March, 1856, and found the money all
on hand as reported
KEEP IT BEFORE THF PEOPLE-That
the acute financier, Taylor, of Mahoning, exam
ined the Treasury after Breslin left the office,
and found the money all on hand.
REM EMBER, That Gibson has ACKNOWLEDGED
that Breslin paid the money all over.
REMEMBER, That the Auditor of State
says IN hlS annual report, published in Decem-
Der, 1856 that he he knew from actual eranaiRa
ton that the money was then all in Gibson's
hands. ...
REMEMBER, That Salmon P Chase, with
full knowledge of these facts, attempted to de
ceive the people by statement that the deficit
occurred prior to Mr.. Gibeon's term of office.
REMEMBER, THAT CHAsE's ADMINIsTRA-

MONTHS BY PLUNDER1NG THE PUBLIC TREASURY

iTo be sure, SIR"
"Will you he so kind as to state in what part

The Deacon's manner by this time became
greatly excited, and he gasped out;
"Cln it be! can it Jei''
The 1naid falling to comprehend the Deacon
inquired.
''Can what be?"
"Why that young gentleman is, at this very

"Why kaint you heard sir, that Mrs. Wisely

The old gentleman seemed; as the phrase is,
perfectly thundefstruck. Saying that "Mrs.

he took his leave. The joke got out in due time.

ever, consented to the Stranger having Mrs.
Wisely's love.

| dent that these papers were in favor of that
way. The republican officers neither steal the
money ofthe public nor of private individuals
and we are surprised that the organs of party
should still adhere to the stealing policy, when
they see at this time the blasting effects of it,
and that one of their leading men is forced to
leave the State in consequence oe it, lest for his
past sins he should hate to Spend some years Of
his life within the Penitehtiary.
"The interest of the State debt had to be paid,
or the State be dishonored, and her credit and
the credit other merchants greatly impaired
"The money or a portion of it to pay this in
terest, had either to be borrowed or stolen-the
officers ofthe State preferred borrowing"
saIfthe Legislature had been summoned, it
must have been stoleh Ell? If the smellers,
such as Brown, Brayton Irion, Hamilton & Co.,
Gould have had a chance, perhaps they might
have preferred that mbde Of raising the wind,
provided they could lie themselves out of it.
"1Ae republican officers neither stealhe a104,eg ot
the p'tJ5ic nor Of p1iuate indtUiduals" 30 says
the State Journal while it is recorded in the
annals of Franklin county, that VIM. IL. Glib
son, late black republican Treasurer, has two in
dictments against him pending, for embezzling
the public money, and using trust funds. He,
too however much sympathy may have been in
NphCu anu lIlelNt, TIE
Journal, may find himself where the other dis
tinguished financier is recommended to spend
'some years of his lifo."
There is one thing that strikes us with some
force; which is the inference left by the Journal
that the interest had to be paid and that "the
Officers of the State preferred borrowing
had to be borrowed or Stolen ard consequently if
it had not been borrowed it would have been
stolen; but having succeeded in borrowing they
were not driven to the alternative ofsteaiing.-
However, that would have been fair play, accoy
ding to system of ethics-they would on
ly have robbed Peter to pay Paul
This is serious matter-too seri6Js To make
a jest Of The Governor has transcribed his
legitimate power-he has set at naughtand de-
fed Constitutional provisions. He has accom-
plished con, Gstat. So did Louis Napoleon.
and away went the Frehch Republic Of what
use is the Constitution if Salmon p. Chase can
override it at will? To be sure the interest of
the State debt ought to have been pad and the
credit of the State maintained; but it should
have been done by the Legislature, who alone
have constitutional power to raise moneys, make
leyies and provide for the payment of debts 1t
IS usurpation Of prefogative. Some such US
urpation cost Charles the lst his head. Chase
expected to raise his popularity and heighten

aspirations are not limited by aught that may be

The editor oithe N. Y. Tribune, in his recent
TRADE against this paper used the following Ian
guage:
ave have lived in four different Free States,
in none (which, so far as we are aware, is there
any legal impeachment to intermarriage between
whites and blacks, and yet haze not k,oa0n an,
instance fsuch tatc,ma'iage."
We at first attributed the nom occurrence Of
such marriage to the fact that Greely was al
ready married man; but the Galena Courier
whose editor is conversant with the crcumstan-
ces, dlsaproves Greely's statement. The Cou-
rier says:
This certainly most remarkably assertion
IN view OF the fact that it is not more than three
or four years ago that in the state of New York
notorious case OF amalgamation took place, the
circumstances OF which were published from one
end OF the country to the other. We alude to
the case OF Aleu- the negro teacher in the N. Y.
Central College, an institution based on the prin-
clple otnegro equality who married a Miss King.
and narrowly escaped being tared and feathered
IN the overwhelming Black Republican county of
Oswegoj where the parents ofthe woman resided
Although the father Of the lady was in theory
a decided Black Republican amalgamationisf
when 1t came so close home in practice as to take
an accomplished daughter from him for the pur-
ofco dabiting with negro, he found it to be an
exceedingly difficult matter to become reconcied
to- This is a single instance, which we doubt
not the Tribune remembers and it would not
be difficult matter, we presume to cite others.
The doctrines taught by the lortg- haired and
curly haired professors of the Central College
(and they were the loudest Fremont freedom
shrlekers in the country have an immediate ten
ancy to practical alnagamation, and it would be
remarkable If the Allen and King case has not
had more than one parallel. - Chicago Times.

| A REPUBLICAN RAscAL.--Not many weeks
ago man paid visit to the towns of Colcbes
I ter and Tennessee in this county, and represen
ted himself as an agent for the Springfield Re-
publican, new Abolition sheet started at the
capital of this State. He put on good many
pretenSions to piety and morality-talked about
the horrid sInfulncss and wickedness of the
Democracy-and seemed the very embodiment
IOf tEe morals Of the country lie was so
good that he got number of Republicans to
subscribe for his abolition sheet On Sabbath
he got so pious that he addressed q Sabbath
school, and preached a sermon to Eve beleve)
a Methodist congregations He was good re-
publican and good brother, and there was
squawking in the barn yards when he visited
the brethren. He was having good time and
making MONEY, But alas, for the frailty of NOR
tai Hesh-the good brother was tempted-and
the good republican fell INTO sin, He was caught
playing cards with wicked sinners-ihe money
was of the board--7he was gambling with the
contributions Of tie saiIfts.
10 the credit of the people that ligfghbor.
hood got too hot for him. ana suddenly he
wasn't there any more. Some of the indignant
brethren wrote to the Springfield paper about
the "audacious hypocrie g." and the editor de-
MED having any ''Such fellow" in his employ. =
SO that whether he was acting by authority or
not, remains undecided, but all will admit that
he vas eery proper man to get Subscribers to
an abolition paper. The brother is doubtless
still iiinefatng somewhere in the State seek
ing where he may deyour some republicans
preaching abolitionisin and it crucified, and
gambling with the money Of the saints.
Moral When you soc man getting SUB.

be minister Of the gospel Of Christ set him
down as an arrant hypocrite and sWindlng

o tenderly the naughty day
Fills the blue urn with fire,
One morn is in the mighty heaven
And one in our desire.
The csnTion booms from town to town,
Our pulses sfe not less,
Thejo bells chime their tidings down,
Which children voices bless.
For he that flung the broad blue fold
Ger mnntling, land and sed,
One third part Of the sky uhrolled
Fer tile banner of the free.
The men are ripe or Saxon kind
10 build an equal state;
TO take the statute from the mind,
And make Of duty fate.
United States! the ages Plead
Present and Past, IN under sosg,-
Go, put your creed in to your deed,
Nor speak with double tongue.
For sea and land don't understand,
Nor skies, without frown,
See rights for which the one-hand fights
By the other cloven down.
Be Just at home, then reach beyond
Your charter DER the sea;
And make the broad Atlantic pond
M A ferry Of the free u.
And, henceforth, there shall be no chain,
Save, underneath the sea;
The wires shall mt'irHfr thro' the main
Sweet songs Of Liberty.
The conscious stars accord above,
E The waters Wild below,
And under, thro' the cable woTe,
Her fiery errands go.
For He that worketh high and wise;
Nor pauses in his plan,
Will take the sun out of the skies
Ere freedom out of man.

The attitude assumed by Governor Chase snd
the Fund Commissioners, of acting for the Leg
lsature in raising money to meet the deficit in
the Treasury, is weakly defended by the State
journal. 1t is defended by miserable subter-
fuge. It's defended by mean, contemplate
trlck. 1t IS set down as a necessity when it
was no such thing. True, some time was was
ted in visits to Tiffin and elsewhere before the
expose was made, say from Wednesday till Sat
urday. And then two weeks intervened be-
tween that period and the 1st of uly when the
interest was due. Was their no time to sum
mon the Legislature? The Constitution gives
the Governor no alternative 1t matters not
that he is man ofnerve, willing to take the
responsibility. He should have been man of
nerve, and looked into the Treasury affairs long
ago.
Great stress is laid on the credit of Ohio; is
nothing to be thought OF a wounded, crippled
disabled Constitution? Oh, glory, hallelujah!
to Chase IN ercelsis! for his promptness, energy
and efficiency. Give us back the Constitution
that you have thrown out OF doors. The amount
was borrowed at six percent, but the Consttu
ton gives no such authority to borrow it at all
1t prescribes the way to raise means how much
and by whom. Not by the Governor! Oh
no!
Whatif Governor Chase, when he SO fretted
and tumed about the bleeding wrongs of Kan
sas, and took especial pains to send an extra
message to the Legislature to levy five rcgi-
ments to march to its assistance, had taken ,lp
on himself to consider the emergency so immi-
nent he could not for legislative drawbacks and
delays, and had .
