That is sensible TO the last. Mr. Cook is
every way quilf ID for the high position. and no
man in the Northwest could command larger
vote. B,ing what is termed selfmade man,
he is very naturally Republican in the most
enlarged sense of that term. Although an able
attorney now, he was but few years since a
practical mason. and is therefore man whom
the mechanics and intelligent people Of Ohio
would delight to honor.

ASTOUNDING DEVELOPMENT !



Just as our paper is going to press wehave been
placed in possession of facts which clearly demon
slratc that Treasurer Bresn and his democratic
co.workers used the funds Of Ohio to establish the
Greensborough (Md.) Bank, a Bank at Memphis,
Tennessee, and other VIII, Cat" banks, the notes
OF which have flooded Ohio to the great loss oi
the people. Our people well remember that GER
tain parties connected with the Dayton and Mich
igan Railroad scattered the funds of Of these
banks most generously and their political opin
ions, positions, &c, leaves no doubt but Breslir
and his political allies in the Northwest were at
the bottom of it. We cannot more than thus
briefly alude TO this subject at this time, but will
publish the facts in our next This is the com
mencement of an exhibition which is destined to
expose the bold frauds and INSCRIPTIONS robber
les committed by the leaders Of the democratic
party during the past four years, 1t will throw
some light on the grand schemes by which the
people have been swndled by the Treasurer, ant
we trust it may also lead TO detection of the deeE
and damnuble frauds practced by the Board o

PRESBYTERIAN CHyacu SOUTd.-ln regard to
the secession effected in the Presbyterian Church.
by DR.. Ross, the New York Iadepsadeat well
remarks:
A new branch of this Church is now to b.
organic ID, for the purpose of conserving that
o.gdnic social iniquiiy which on this side of the
Rocky Mountains answers to P0lygamy on the
West. The basis upon which this church is to
b. organized is, that the subject of slavery"
not slavery itself, but the discussion of slavery
shall be utterly unknown" The question whpth-
er it is lawful for members of this church to
buy AMI sell their brethren chattleS the Ques-
ton whether it is right for members of this
church TO sublue b. violence the chastity Of
woman, in order to stock a plantation; the
question whether members of the church may,
for their own gain, forcibly separate husband and
| wife, parents and ch'ldyens-these and like qups-
tons are to be eschewel by the very constitu-
tion of this church. Nay, it is TO get rid OF
such questions that the new church is TO be
formed. Singuiarlv enough, the call to organ.
ize new church upon that basis is headed by an
emancipated slave, born of African blood in H.
legitimate concubinage. 81 close is the affinity
between the new church of polygamy and the
new church of slavery.

Som. Of these bonds, however, ore not in the

"I find the bonds Of all the Banks to be IN

lf Mr. Gibson gives a correct account OF the
bonds, then all is right. We cannot think that
he would make statement of this kind unless
it was true, as its falsity would speedily recoil
upon him, and destroy the little hope left for
sustaining his integrity.
1t is our opinion that the State is responsible
for the bonds deposited with it. At all events
if you have notes on the Seneca County Bank
do not par with them alta discount.
