- When viii the people put quetus upon
this wholesale robbery aud palpable swinding
accordingto law" by these chartered monopoes,
bankers and brokers' at least so far as their con-
nection with the State Treasury is concerned
Ohio has no doubt been loser by the failure of
the great mammoth Of them all, the Trust Com
pany Bank Now what does the failure Of these
institutions teach and what relations do they bear
to the poi:ica parties What party Is respon-
Sibe for the swinGiing and explosion of these
privileged corporations T.? Has not the Democrat
ic party always contcnled, open and above board
against them, and taken decided stand on the
part of the people ?-PerrySburg Democrat.
How will our friend Norton like to swallow that
dose Our young friends should be a little eau

one Of the most ardent lovers of banks we know
of anywhere AMI we will wager ii small sum that
he will vote for the NV Bln!;ing Law. Not only
SO, but he purposes establishing, when his means

which actually issue "rotten rags" We are not
going to argue this point here but merely state
these facts to SLOW the c)liis.el;y OF on friends

that Ohio has lost largely by the failure of the

Two of the Locofoco candidates, one a rabid
Know Nothing and the other consistent Catho-
lie, left this place Tuesday morning for the pur-
pose of addressing the Democracy of Freeport
in the evening. Finding a certain black Re-
publican on the ground, they both Backed out
but remained in the village over night. The
landlord placed them in one bed, but Know
Nothingism was SO rank and offensive to our
Catholic friend that before morning it made
him quite sick and he was compelled to send
for physician. His friends claim that il was
his smothered speech that injured him, but the
physician decided that his disease was caused
by too close contact with incongeniul ele-
ments!

More LocoCoco swimdlinr.

Every day some new fact is developed which
shows the manner in which the Locoloco leaders
and office holders have been robbng the people
of their hard earned funds. We have Just had a
talk with Joseph Langendcrfer the gentlemanly
Superintendent of the Western Reserve Road who
informs us that unless some unusual damage oc-
curs, the expense of keeping said road in repair for
the current year will not vary much from $1,000
This includes all eXpenscs--pay Of Superintendent
gate keepers, &c. Backus and Stecdman, un-
der their official oaths reported that this same
work cost the State under their management, at
the rate of Ss7765 per annum for six yeas making
a difference in that time of S1O,59O! James J.,
Parks was allowed $5 400 per year for keeping
this road in repair, showing that they intended to
keep up their system of swindling for five years to
come. In that five years. Parks would have had
from the State, over and above all legitimate ex-
penses, $23,095 The two robberes added to-
gether make the snug little sum of $61, ,5SJ =
the steaings of elven years, just about six thou
sand dollars year. And Norton says, because
the last Legislature discovered this bold fraud and
closed the Treasury against the pilIerers, Oho is
"Rcpudiatlng State p We glory in all such re-
pudiation, and so docs every honest tax payer in
the State. In the face of all these facts Locoro-
cos arc crying at the top of their voices for the
people to remuncratc these public plunderers, and
it their demagogue candidates can be elected to
the Legislature, this internal robbery system will
be again organized

Gsg~ President Buchanan has addressed long
letter 10 the free state people Of Kansas in reply
to memorial from them asking protection against
further outrages at the hands of their pro-slavery
prosecutors in the shape of U. s. officials. Strange
as it may seem, the President joins IN with the
southern sentiment, and declares that the eutre
difficulties originated with the !awess disposition
OF the free state men-that when he went into of.
flee, he found Kansas as thoroughly and well orga-
nized any territory in the country-that she had
a code of laws which were adopted by her own
leglslature--and that these laws he is bound to en-
force to their full extent even if the entire power
Of the government is necessary to accomplish that
purpose This settles all doubt as to Buchanaas
position towards Kansas, and puts the qrictus up.
on the northern locoioco plea that he is favorable
to the free state interests Of that territory. He
petty logger like fails to alude to the well known
fact that every enactment which he is pleased to
call "aw," is a fraul upon the people of Kansas
and that they were all adopted by a mob from the
State of Missouri. 1t remains TO be seen whether
modern Locoioco tyranny and violence is sufficient
to ride over the just rights of free people, in
their own territory, or wether the attempt to
force them into slaveish submission will cause their
indignant facings to bid defiance to their oppres-
sor and by force of arms maintain those rights
which are inalienabIc. When the President o.
the United States becomes mere tool for the slave
driver and asserts his readiness to enforce their
fraudulent cnactmonts upon ,ho northern people at
all hazarls,-whcn the blood of northern frcomel
is declared to be OF less value than the extension
human bonluge--it becomes ui to prepare for any
aud every emergency. II the Rights, Interests and
| Opinions of thrce-Iourths of the American people
are to be tramped upon for base sectional and par
tiziu purposes, we fear and trembe for the conse-
quonces When the President OF the United States
becomes deaf to the cries Of injured men and wo-
men, and fails to afford them that protection
against wrong aud outrage which is guaranteed to
them by the constitution and laws OF our country.

The Bargain and sale.

1t is well understood in some quarters that ne
gotatiOns of " Bargain and Sale were commcnc-
ed about three months since, between the present
slavocratc nominee for representative AMI the con-
tractor upon See. No. 8. We are informed that
the "chuir" of Toledo was first consulted in re-
gard 10 the matter and gave it his approval Two
prominent slaveocrats OF Milton and Liberty
townships were called to the county seat to ap-
prove and lvitness the contract.
The terms Of the contract, as we understand,
were simply these--the locofocos to nominate the
chief of the Know Nothings for representative,
and he, in consideration thereof, to transfer to the
locofoco party not less than 800 and from that to
400 Know Nothing votes.
more corrupt bargain and salc, or shameless
trading in politics, never perhaps transpired
An important Office and hundreds Of votes Were
sold aud disposed Of with as much assurance and
Confidence, droycrs would sell and transfer their
Property in the "ca!tle market"
The contract has been fulfilled by the one party
and time will soon determine whether the other is
able TO discharge his Obligations. We shall socr
know whether men, protesting to be 'iree and in
dependent" will suffer themselves to be barterei
like mere merchandise, or traded of like the poor
black slaves Of the south. Whether the vaullng
assertion of the boasirll Know Nothing leader
shall be realized or he be consigned to that posi-
tion due the corrupt trader in politics.
And it was in view Of the great acccssions which
he was TO bring to the slayocracy that the old wal
