From the haYenna Sentlnel.
Salmon p. ChasG--SeVen Counts
of the Indictment against him.
Salmon p. Chase is the Republican
nominee for Governor. Having been
in Office for one term, his whole ad,
ministration is legitimately a subject
of discussion in the present contest
There are q few leading features in
his policy, and a few important facts
to which we wish to call attention.
1. During the administration of
Chase the largest defalcation has oc-
Cured in the Treasury ever known in
this or any other State in the Union.
Over half million of dollars belong
ing to the people, has been stolen
from them. The defalcation, though
not directly chargeable to him, might
and would have been prevented II
Governor Chase had done his duty.
The man who, by an utter failure to
guard the public interests, allows
them to be ieopardized and ruined, is
unworthy Of public confidence, and
ought not to be chosen the chief exec.
utive of Ohio.
2. During the administration OF
Chase, money has been borrowed TO
meet the ordinary expenses OF the
Government-the public debt has
been increased, and a new and addi-
tional burthen has been placed upon
the backs of the tax-payers Of Ohio.
Is an administration which increases
the popular grievance, adds to the
load of our Indebtedness and grinds
the laborers of our country into the
dirt, worthy of Endorsement The
people will answer this question on
the Cd Tuesday Of October by a stern
and unmistakeable negative.
8. During the administration of
Chase, the money belonging to the
Sinking Fund, and set apart by the
Constitution for the payment of the
interest and principal of the public
debt, has been appropriated to illegit-
innate and improper purposes the
payment of the debt has been post
poned for thirty years perpetual
burden has been imposed on the pres
ent and succeeding generatiOn-the
credit Of the State is gone, and RUIN
and EMBARRASSMENT stare us in the
face.
4. During the administration Of
Chase, the Office Of the Attorney
General has been converted into a
banking house, the funds Of the Trea-
sury have been taken from the treasu-
ry vaults, and the notes of our citizens
have been shaved with their own mo-
ney paid into the treasury.
5. During the administration Of
Chase, the HOME INTERESTS of Ohio
have been wantonly neglected, the
rights and property Of three millions
of people within our boundaries have
been disregarded under the miserable
plea Of sympathy for one or two hun
dred negroes in a distant territory.
6. During the administration Of
Chase, the laws of the Federal Gov
ernment have been openly violated,
and resistance has been made to the
authorities OF the United States, un-
der and by virtue of his sanction and
direction.
Z. Under the authority of Chase,
money has been raised and invasions
have been planned against one Of the
territories OF the Union. Open rebel
lion has been advocated and treason
has ripened in the Executive chambers
Of the State.
These are Il few of the counas in the
Indictment against Salmon p. Chase,
and on the issues here presented he
must be tried. The people of Ohio
are the jury before whom he must ap-
pear. What answer can he make
when called upon to defend his admin
istratiOn2 What excuse will he rem
der for his promises broken, his pied
ges violated, his duties unperformed9
