The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1857-09-23

upon the most Industrious and proyident
of the people, by the failure Of the manu-
factories of paper money, call for the ini-
tiation of a policy, which will in time,
furnish an abundance of the precious
metals as a circulating medium. The
Democratic party looks forward to, and
is determined to bring about, the time,
when the wages of labors shall be paid in
gold and silver, and the farmer may ride
home, after having sold his wheat and
corn, with a bag of specie on the pommel
of his saddle, The Republicans .adyo-
cate an increased emission of small bank
notes, and corresponding decrease in
the circulating medium of intrinsic value.
Thes extraordinary ineficiency of the
Republican State officers, their. want of
diligence in the performance Of their du-
ties, and their shameless prohigacy in the
administration of your affairs, have al
ready attracted your attention. The in.
sane and audacious suggestion Of Gov
ernor Chase, to devote an enormous sum
of your money to the stirring up and car
Irying on of civil war in one of the Terri
tories of the United States, and to raise
and equip a military force, for the express
purpose of hostilities against the United
States troops, must be unsparing gly de-
nounced. 1t will not be forgotten at the
polls. His gross negligence of the duties
I imposed upon him, in regardlto athorough
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 JUS
ttiee, will receive the unqualified condemi
nation Of every wise and Impartial man
The setting up, by him, aof his snnsapportt
ed declarations in opposition TO thelifhdl
ings of the Grand Jury, and the sworn
statements of tie Attorney General; while
the criminal cases and the civil cause are
[ yet pending against Gibson, is an act of
ltreachery to the State, whose Governor
he is. and guarantee of 4impunity to. a
wrong -doer, with whom, he. has had sinti1
mate personal and business relations.s3;
The portiohing out of the public mon
Leys, by Gibson, between his colleagues I'M
Office, to set up brokers' shops, and cerI
tain faithless and insolyent bank in which
some of them were interested, reveals the
coveted object of the mercenary Repub-
lican leaders, and their utter disregard OF
decency in grasping at it. Nearly forty
thousand dollars of your money was ad-
yanced by the Republican Treasurer to
the Attorney General, to set him up in
business as a discounter of kiting bills;
and large deposits were made in banks,
in which the Treasurer and one of the
! Supreme Judges aye believed to have been
largely interested. ..e -,

Legislature, to any other that ever assem-

!, able to perfect and pass single measure
of general utility, might have beenpredic-
ted from the nature Of its composition
). 1t was a conglomeratipn of the most, dis
cordent elements, thrown, together by the
waves Of a furious but evanescent agitation
and unable to agree upon any subject but
one with which it had no power to inter
fere: Had it, been elected to govern
. Kansas, the majority might perhaps, have
, acted with yigor and unanimity; had i,

overthrown one of, the last acts originated

to rancorors factions, whose yirulent ami.
