its exercise. They resolved to give the
Republican leaders " full swing" in or

er apparent, and the sooner ended
Hence, when the several Investigating,
or "Smelling Committees" as they were
called, were raised, the Democratic mi.
nority resolved to have no lot nor part
nor representation on them.
The title of tie bill of 1856, under
the last section of which the money was
stolen from the Treasury, with immuni.
ty to the thieves, was very plausible in
its terms. It fourported to be bill to
" punish the embesslerhent and unlawful
use of the public moneys" It was one
of the series of reform theaaures" in
troduced by the reforming leaders o.
that reforming legislature. Had the
democratic minority voted against it, the
clamor about the blood in Kansas would
have been suspended long enough to
ring the charge throughout the length
and breadth of the State that the Demo
Gratis in the Legislature had voted against
a Republican scheme 4" to punish the en-
bezzlement and unlawful use of the pub

mocrats have pleaded that you were
erasing from the statute books q law
which had been effectual in restraining
all Treasurers duri"g the preceding ten
years from embczzIing the public mo-
ney, and that the provisions of your sub
stitute were no more stringent than the
law repealed;@you would at once have
raised the clamor that the Democrats
were obstructipg yotr efforts to accom-.
plish reforms" and CHASE regiments,
destined for Kansas, might have been
recalled to march against these domes-
tic enemies of the State. The Demo
Gratis, therefore, in order to "give rope"
to their enemies, and shield themselves
from an absurd partizan clamor, voted
for bill the passage of which they could
not prevent if they would, because the
whole thing had been decreed in eau
Gus of the Republican members.
In justice to Senator MUsGRAvE, who,
though q political opponent, is an hono-
rable man, we must say that we believe
he voted for the act of 1856, like the
mass of the Republican members, and
like the Democrats, without being ad-
vised of the true intent Of the wire
workers of his party, who were in collu-
sion with GIBSON, and fully posted as to

I'd repeal, and WHO were at that very
time Thoroughly acquainted with the
condition of the Treasury; and We hope
the Times will do Mr.. MUsaRAvE the
justice to go state. As Mr.. NJ. did not
intend, we learn, to be candidate for
reelection, the left handed attack upon
him is rather extraordinary.

THE KEPUBLICAN PARTY THE

It is virtually assumed in the last
Times that the Republican party is an
Anti-Bank and Anti Monopoly party.
If this were so, we should be glad, be.

knowledge of the truth, and we always
rejoice over a political sinner that ho-
nestly repenteth. But we want evidence,
we want fruits.

1856, when they submitted to the peo-
pie a mammoth Banking Monopoly for

FKrENDs OF THE UNION,

Of the Ashland Union, we mean
hear US for our cause we have no dis
position to perpctrate dun; or to even
intimate our necessities to those who
have promptly and generously come for
ward and paid in advance, or to even
within three or six months of their ar
rears on subscriptiop;-but justice to
ourselves and creditors compels US to
say to such as are in arrears moro than
six months for the Union, that we are
greatly in want of money to meet press
ing engagements, and that good op-
portunity will be afforded all such, either
by the Circus, which will be here on
Thursday of the present week, by the
term Of Court which comm ences on Mon
day, the 2Sth inst, or by the County
Fair, which will be held here on the
23d, 24th and 25th instant, to place a
few extra dollars in their pockets, for
the cause of the Union, and thus relieve
US of the burdens which are pressing up
on our shoulders.

A. SLY ATTACK ON SENATOR MUS
GRAVE AND THE BLACK REPU-
BLICAN LEGISLATURE.

A SLY ATTACK ON SENATOR MUS.
GRAVE AND The BLACK REPU-
BLICAN LEGIsLATURE.
The Ashland Times of last week,
and of the week previous, under cover Of
bill of complaint against DR.. CowAN,
pitches into the last Republican Legis-
laturo, anongihe best members of which
was our tespetted fellow-citizen, J. Mus
CRAVE, Esd, for having repealed the
law under the proSisions of which either
Mr.. BRksLIN or Mr.. GIBsoN, or both,
could have been punished for their spo-
liation of the Ohio Treasury: II the
editorials in the Times were really de-
signed to impair the confidence Of
the Democracy Of Ashland county in
the integrity and sound political princi
pies of DR.. CowEN, it will fall far short
of it's aim. Fortunately for Docto,
CowEN, his legislative course doel
not require a word Of defence at oul
hands; or at the hands of any Democrat
in Ashland county or elsewhere. 4
simple statement of the truth, which We
shall make, will fully vindicate his con
duct in the matter referred to.
In no sentence that we have ever
written in condemnation of the folly OF
crime of the repeal of the law of March
2, 1876, have we word to modify, erase
or explain. Whether it was a crime or
a blunder, upon the heads of the Repu-
bliean General Assembly, alone, rests
tie responsibility.
Tho Republican Administration, it
will be we'll remembered, came into pow
er two years ago, under wholesale char
ges by Gibson, Chase s. Co., of abuses
in the then Democratic State Admins
tration, and of high sounding promises
on their part of " retrebchment aud re
form" Under such false Slatnor and
pretenees, they obtained the power they

A big Roorback-stop iti-is going
the rounds of the Republican papers
claiming that Chase, Gibson & Co. paid
off $3.50, 900 of debts contracted by the
Democratic Administration that prece-
ded them. This is total error There
were large. amount of bogus claims,
rejected by Morgan as such, which were
promptly paid BY this Galphin Admin
istration. This is the character OF
"!deb's'', that have been paid-bogus
claims that had Seen rejected by the
Medill administration, and that never
would have been paid except by the
crew of imbeciles and corruptionists that
now misgovern the State.
Let Democrats, then, turn the tables
on these boasting Republicans, who are
glorying in their shame, and charge the
fact that, in addition to their other ma
nifeId crimes and blunders, they have
paid out of the Treasury -
100000 DOLLARS
of fraudulent claims Down with the

unnecessary excuses although thankful to those friends
