striking Ohio from the great brotherhood OF
white communities. Ills your duty to Illustrate
their monstrous purpose.
The Committee point with pride to the firm
and stateSmanlike attitude Of the President and
the Administration in reference to the affairs in
Kansas. The determination Of Mr.. buchanan |
to use all his constitutional power to secure to
the people of the Territory the free exercise Of
their SailrageS upon the adoption Of the State
Constitution, m,sts the unlualifi,l approval OF
the whole National Democracy, North and !
South. In the North it could dem mi no more;
in the S)uth it coul claim no less. The posi-
ton taken by Virginia at this juncture is suffi-
cient to arouse the ex llation of her sons, wher
ever they my b. lounl.within the limits Of the
Union, anil Shoul BE- enough to excite the en-
ulation Of Ohio to take a Stlnl of equal patriot
ism In the eloquent language of one of her
Democratic organs, Virginia will pray that the
Union, ~ its affairs are now administered, may
il duration, exceed that Of the Egyptian PyIa-
mids, which, after the lapse Of forty centuries
still stand erect and unshaken above the floods
of the Nile" The obstacles interposed to pre-
vent pcaCeable settlement of the affairs of the
Territory, by the people at the ballot box, in or
der to create capital for the totering Republican
factions in Ohio and New Y ork, cannot be too
severely rcprehended.
The almost daily failure Of banks to meet
their engagements, furnishes a conclusive argu-
mcnt in favor of the Democratic measure of an
independent Treasury. Had such an act been
in existence heretofore, the enormous deialca-
tions in that department could never have occur
red. Locking the door after the stced is sto

| If Ohio were never expected to have money any
more, there would be some force in the saying
as it is, it only serves to exhibit the childish fall
laces resorted to by the adversarics of the Inc
dependent Treasury, for want of sound argus
ment with which to resist it, The Democrat
party stands before you, the advocate Of meas
IRE sure to prevent losses by mal!caSance or de-
fault of bank repositories, hereafter. If not a.
Bile to obtain complete indemnity fer the past
it is resolved to exact adequate security for the
future. The Republican party, instigated and
governed by bankers and money changers, in
sists upon the continuance Of the system under
which all losses have occurred. That guilty
party, even in the hour Of its detection, and
while endeavorng to obtain a remission of the
punishment due to its crimes, impenitently re-
fuses to say "lead us not into temptation" Ii
as the Republicans say, there was no lack of
vigilance in guarding the Treasury, it cflectual
| ly dispoSeS Of their case against the mersure we
lvocate, No vigilance of the kind they eXer-
cised will suffice. 1t is like that OF their Gov
erner, who, according to his own account, lock
G up the empty vault, ater Gibson,s rcsigna-
ton, and sat up all night at the keyhole. Their
vigilance prevented nothing and detected no.
thing; anl their own avermenr of it cuts them
Up root and branch, upon the chief State issue
of their own choosing in this campaign.
The frequently occurring losses inflicted upon
the most industrious and provident of the peo-
pie, by the failure Of the manufactures of paper
money, call for the initiation OF policy which
will, in time furnish an abundance of the pre-
cous metals as a circulating medium. The
Democratic party looks forward to, and is de-
ternined to bring about, the time, wlen the
wages of labor shall be paid in gold and silver,
and the farmer may ride home, after having sold
his wheat and corn, with bag of specie on the
pomnel of his saddle. The Republicans advo-
F cate an increased emission of small bank notes,
and corresponding decrease in the circulating
m.diuul of intrinsic value.
The extraordinary ineftciency of the Repuhl
C N State officers their want of diligence in the
performance of their duties, and their shameless
prohigacy in the administration of your affairs,
have already attracted your attention. The in
sane and audacious suggestion OF Gov. Chase, to
devote an enormous sum of your money to the
stirring up and carrying on of civil war in one
Of the territories Of the United States ard to
raise and equip military force, for the express
purpose of hoStlities against the United States
troops, must be unsparingly denounced. 1t will
not be forgotten at the polls. His gross negi-
gence OF the duties imposed upon him, in re-
gard to thorough scrutiny Of the Treasury has
been one of the causes of immense loss to the
State. His recent unparalleled attempt TO inter-
fere with and arrest the due course of Justice
will receive the unqualified condemnation of ev-
ery wise and impartial man. The setting up
by him, OF his unsupported declarations in oppo-
siton to the findings of the Grand jury, and the
sworn statements of the Attorney General
while the criminal cases and the civil cause arc
. yet pending against Gibson, is an act Of treache
. ry to the State, whose Governor he is and a
guarantee of impunity to wrong doer, with
whom he has had intimate personal aud business
\ relations.

up brokers' shops, and certain faithless and in
solvent banks, in which some Of them were in
o terestcd, reveals the coveted object of the mer
cenary Republican leaders, and their utter dlsre
Il gard of decency in grasping at it. Nearly fort,
thousand dollars Of your money was advances
/ by Republican Treasurer to the Attorney Gene

Of kiting bills; and large deposits were made il
N banks in which the Treasurer and one of til
