what docs GOV. Chase wants.
What does he Meant

We have on the table before ua, the
Ohio State Journal, containing Gov.
Chase's recent speech at Cincinnati.
In the course of that speech be says:
81 WANT TO SEE SLAVERY OVER
THROWN, and | intend to help overturn
its power; | want to see the power Of
250,000 shareholders over 1900, 900
OF people cease; | WANT IT ACKNowL'
EDGED THAT CoLoRED PEOPLE HAVE
RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES WHICH THEY
HAVE NOT NOW; | want to see the ter.
ritories become the free soil homo Of
free labor. These are some of tho ar.
ticles Of MY POLITICAL FAITH, and |
call upon You to vindicate these prin.
ciples nj the ballot bor."
Here is an avowal worth pom.
dering. Here is something that is
not mere "abstract question:" but a
practical something which Chase
wants "Uindicated ut tile ballot 6Os."
He wants more rights and priviLege8
for cOiOred peopIe! What are the
rights and privileges to which he re-
ters! They already enjoy the right
To worship God according to their
own consciences;
To hold property inviolate
To bear testimony;
To sue and be sued in all State
courts:
To be protected in liio, limb and
liberty.
Besides the above, what other rights
and privileges does Gov. Chase wish
to secure the negro by means Of an
appeal to the ballot box2
OTIs it that lie shall vote7
O7ls it that he shall sit on your
juries
DTIs it that he shall preside in
your courts Of justice2 "
DTls It that he shall bo eligible as
a Legislators
If these are not the additional
rights and privileges which Gov.
Chase wishes conferred upon tho ne
gro, let him tell the publicin plain and
unmistakeablo language what he
means.-Ne70ark A0Uocate.

The unex pected production of
Chase's City Bank Letter ~ Breslin,
has brought suddenly to the knowl-
edge of the public some Of the secret
workings by which the peoples mo-
ney is sometimes got out of the pub
lie treasury and applied to illegitimats
uses.
We have good reason to believe
that still other important light win
be forthcoming on the trial of Glib
son and Breslin, provided the friends
Of Gov. Chase do not succeed IN sup..
pressing it. Tob be more specific, we
may state as a fact, which is believed
to be susceptible of the clearest proof
before a court of justice, that in the
summer Of 1856, the SOHO State

furnished for that purpose FROM THE
STATE TREASURY BY WIN. H. GIBsoN,
THE REPUBLICAN TREASURER OF STATEI
The particulars of this transaction are
not yet all known, but for the last
three weeks the main points have
been in a course Of gradual develop
ment and confirmation. 1t was at
first presumed that the notes taken
for the money advanced in the pur.
chase, were endorsed directly by Gov.
Chase himself. Subsequent enquiry
has led to the belief that this direct
connection with the transaction was
avoided by inducing friend of the
Governor to make the, endorsement,
he Qhe endorser,) receiving from
Gov Chase a guaranty against loss.
We have been careful not to give
publicity to the facts here presented,
until we should be folly assured Of
their Truthmlness. Having no Ion.
ger a particle of doubt as to their es.
sential accuracy, we deem it o duty
no longer to withhold them. Newark

publican paper, says:

This confession Of the Courier is
not very fattering to the discernment

The Proof of Black Republican
EXtraVagHnCe.--ChaSe u Dema-
gOgue!--Escad! Read.
Our readers will remember that we
charged Governor Chase with wiiiul'
ly deceiving the people in relation tC
the amount of taxes assessed for the
expenses of the State government by
his party since its accession to power.
While we admit that the general ag-
gregate of the levy is no higher, we
charged (and last week gave items to
prove) that the expenses OF govern
ment were vastly higher. We now
quote from the official documents
black republican at that--to prove
every word we said. On page 81 OF
Auditor Wright's Qhe present Audi
tor Of State) Report for 1856, will be
found statement for the levy for all
purposes in 1856 under democratic
rule.
That levy was as follows:
For Sinking Fund and payment OF
State debt-the levy being in
mills, 1
Expenses of government, G-10
State Common School Fund II
School Library Fund lilo
Total levy in 1855 by the =
Democrats, 3 2-lO
Here it will be seen that our party
in 1855 levied for all purposes3 LILO
mills on the hundred dollars valuation,
Of this, one mill was required by the
State debt and sinking fund, in order
that the faith and credit of the State
should be maintained; one and one
half mill was the rate fixed in the
school law for thesupport Of the com
mon schools of the State; and one
tenth OF one mill the same law requi
red to bo levied for school library pur
poses. This leaves but siv-tenths OI
one mill, which was levied for the ac
tual expenses OF the State Govern
ment, and which the administration
is responsible for.
With this explanation we will now
turn to page SO OF the same report
and we will there find the levy made
in 1856 by the present black republi
can dynasty for State purposes. 1t j,
stated as follows:
For State debt or Sinking fund
purposes, the levy being in
mills 7 II
For general revenue or support

Here it will be seen that the aggre,
gate Of the levy is precisely the same
as under the democrats, while there is
nothing levied for school library, they
refusing to buy books ior the poor
mans children to read. Now let us
look at the elements Of this levy. For
school purposes it is the same in both.
The democrats levied one mill for
sinking fund and State debt, and paid
every dollar that the faith and credit
Of the State required 70 be paid; but
the Black Africans only levied 10
OF one mill Tor that purpose, and then
to make up the deficiency sold 81

he falsely pretended that his party
had not increased the expenses Of the
State government! We vii! carry
out the figures so as to show exactly
to the cent, how much these black re-
publicans have increased the expenses
Of government. On page 5 Of the
report OF Auditor Morgan for 1855,
