Fourth Resolution.

The fourth resolution of the Demo
cratic State Convention was badly
mutilated as published in the Demo-
crGt. The following is correct:
RESOLVED, That the great doctrine
Unpopular sovereignty, first proclaim
ed to the world in the Declaration Of
Independence, reiterated by Mr.. JEFF
ferson in his resolves of17S4, indorsed
by the Kansas Nebraska Act, and re-
affirmed in the Cincinnati Platform,
if fairly carried out, will rid the coun-
try alike Of Northern and Southern
fanaticism, and fix in perpituity the
existence of our glorious Union"

The Treasury DeGaIcatiOn.

Well, the long expected report Of
the examiners of the Treasury has at
last been made. From synopsis of
the report published in the Cincinna-
ii Enquirer, we learn that the total
defalcation Of Breslin and Gibson
amounts to S72S,749,61. Giving
Breslin credit for S154,636,65, lost by
the failure of certain banks, the
amount unaccounted for is S576 112,
SO. The substance Of the report, all
told, is simply that Breslin took the
money, that Gibson concealed the
crime, and that both were aided and
assisted by bankers and others, (the
names Of whom the committee have
not been able to ascertain in the rob,
biDg and concealing.
The Committee state (what the
people already know that both Treas,
urers were wholly unworthy Of the
trust confded to them. We have not
room to notice in to-day's paper, the
report at length, but there is one fact
elected that we wish the people to
know. The Committee say:
"There is little in the correspon'
dence of the Treasury Office for sew.
eral years past to distinguish it.trona
that ofa bank, except that the writer
subscribes himself Treasurer Of State
instead of Cashier"
The Democrats now desire to es
tablish Treasury system that will be
safe and independent of the banks
and if the people heed the lesson o.
dearly bought experience they will &c
with the Democracy.

MIR. Morris, the Candidate for
State Treasurer.

The Wheeling (Va.) argus thus
compliments, the Democratic candi-
date for State Treasurer. 1t says:
Mr.. Morris of Monroe County, and
editor ofthe Spirit Of Democracy, re-
ceived the nomination for Treasurer.
Mr.. Morris is a talented aud worthy
gentleman, and is entitled to the con-
fdenco of his party. Should the
Treasury fOhio be placed under his
control, it will be exempt from pecula-
ting defalcations to which it has been
subjected for the last few years. We
heartily wish him success.

A Telling Fact.

An examination of the official re-
turns, says the st. Paul Pioneer, on
file in the Office Of the Secretary of the
Territory, show that at the election for
Delegates to the Constitutional Con-
vention, the Democratic party had a
majority in the aggregate vote of over
SiNteen hundred.
Yet the Black Republicans talk at
their bogus Convention representing
the political sentiment of a majority
ofthe people of the Territory. What
impudence.

ONO DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS.
TIE Cincinnati Enquirer pays a high
but deserved compliment to Henry B.
Payne, Esq, who has just been nom
mated by the Democrats of Ohio as
their candidate for Governor. Mr..
Payne was we'll known in this State
in his early life, being, we think, a
native of one of our Western counties.
The writer of this paragraph knew
him while receiving his education at
Hamilton College. He is a gentle
man of fine talents, true Democrat,
and noble leader for the Democrats
of the Buckeye State, in the campaign
upon which they are entering. They
must not fail to elect him.--.d .dI6any

Fusion DoINGs.-The canals are
doing no business, and hence no tolls
are coming in. The canal contractors
sue the State and will receive DANA
ges, and entail heavy costs upon the
State. The State has sued Breslin
and Gibson, deiaultiDg Treasures, and
will get nothing. The State officers
have borrowed $150,000 to pay the
July interest which was stolen by
Gibson, and will have to borrow $3.50,
900 more to pay the Jan. interest
Full one million of dollars will be ad-
ded to the Indebtedness of the pres
ent administration, which, when it
was soliciting power up this way,
Chase, Hamlin, Gibson and compa-
ny promised should institute a new
era in Ohio-Retren chment and Re-
form-low taxes and strict accounta-
bility. How these specious promises
have been realized the people are be-
ginning to find out to their Sorrow
Defance Democrat.

Now his (Chase's) Bakersfield
speech does not say that he is in favor
of aboliShing slavery in the States
where it exists, and Mr.. Chase has
since said, hundred times or more,
that he is not i'll favor OF any such

The above is from the Cincinnati

abolishing slavery where it exists, in
the names of common sense, we ask,
is he in favor of abolishing it where ii

.publicans have given niggerism prom

the issues which are properly before
the people. 1t is to be their shibbo-
leth for the campaign. They hope by
this course to be saved from the just
Ily-merited condemnation Of the peo-
'ple. We shall no doubt hear reitera-

mocracy being "pro slavery" " sla-
very extonsionists," "opposed to

ry has nothing to do with the contest;
it is one in which questions Of State
policy alone ale involved, and these
questions we intend to decide. Be-
sides, it does not show a very high
appreciation ofour intelligence on your
part, to attempt to impose upon and
deceive us again with the same sto.
ries which You told us last year.
You asserted that if James Buchan-
an were elected, slavery would be
forced upon Kansas against the will
Of the settlers. Buchanan was elected
but Kansas, by the Democratic poll,
cy Ofallowing the people to decide for
themselves, as even you now acknowl-
edge, will become free State. This
is not the only instance in which you
have deceived us. Two years ago
you gave us the most solemn promis-
es that if the government should be
entrusted to your care, you would in
augurate an era Of economy and light
taxation, &c. Wherein have you re-
deemed a single one Of the many
promises you then made 2 Tie rates
Of State taxation are just as high as
ever. Your Legislature was the Ion,
gest and most expensive one ever
held in the State. The public debt,
which the Democrats were trying to
pay of, you have increased you have
sold two and a half millions of State
bonds for S250,000 less than they
were worth, and under your admins
tration our treasury has been robbed of
over five hundred thousand dollars +!
These are facts which certainly afford
us no encouragement to support you
or to place confidence in any pledges
,you may now give of retrenchment and
reform.
These are not the only objections
we might urge against you. Some Of
you are strongly in favor of making
the negro our equal in political and
civil matters. You favored the prop |
osition to strike the word "white
from the Constitution; your central
organ at Columbus, which gives tone
your press throughout the State, has
advocated negro equality, and the
whole of you made a great fuss be-
cause the U. S. Supreme Court deci-
ded that negroes are not citizens of the
United States, under the Constitution.
In short you are so very intent
upon securing rights for the Blacks
that you seem to have entirely
forgotten those Of the whites" We
believe that majority Of the peo-
pie thus talk and think about
the Republican leaders. The Octo-
Der election will prove whether or not
