'DENoCRATIC" HAPPINEss.-A few
weeks ago a slave escaped from Missouri,
aud was chased by human blood-hounds
to Springfield, Illinois, where they sue
ceeded in arresting him. The Journul
of that city, Buchanan paper in motto
ing the arrest, says it is "HArpY to an

p0Htical campaigns, says the Lebanon
Courier, politicians spend money in cir
culating electiouecring documents broad
cast over the country for the purpose Of
making converts to their cause; but fre-
4aently without much success. Were
they to aid in putting a good paper Of
their party into the hands Of voters, they
would render much more efficient service
to their cause. Newspapers will he read,
where long electioneering documents will
not.
CAGED.-Gen. Packer was announced
some time since to appear on the stump
at Clarion county democratic meeting !;
but as the State Committee had not then
got him secured thoroughly, he was not
permitted 10 attenl. As he is now com
plete!y Gagged, the committee can show
him around safely, hereafter, the faithful
being allowed to gaze at him through the
iron bars which surround him, but not to
approach close enough to talk or dsuss
the slavery question with him.

TuE DIFFERENCE.

Mr.. BREsLIN is deserted by all his
former political friends. He has not an
a~pologist in the State, to our knowledge.
And yet the extent of his offending, so
far as we have any proof, was his mere
tricious connection with Banks and
Bankers, by which the State lost $204,-
600.
Had this fact existed or been known,
in season, he never would have been re-
nominated.
Mr.. GIBsoN's d%efalcation amounts to
nearly a million. The slow and tardy
in Investigations which are being made, do
not diminish the amount and the mag
nitude of his crime. Yet he has defend
ers and apologists among the leaders of
the Repub lican party everywhere.
Think of this. It's food for thought

demands of the Democratic party, was
placing it in the hands of Banks and
Bankers, we made issue with him. The
Unaon was the first journal in Ohio that
raised lis warning and protest against
this practice. Within the first few
months of Mr.. BREsLIN's administration,
we learned, much to our amazement,
that the City Bank of Cincinnati was in
possession of about $4,000 of the
State moneys. We made a prompt ''pro-
test'' and denunciation of the selection
of this Bank, and some of the managers
of that defuuct concern have had the
audacity to charge, within the last six
weeks, that we were the cause of its ex-
plosion in 1928, and that the $40 :
sII which was lost to the Treasury, was
only the consequence of our " protest "
The truth is, the thing was rotten from
the beginning, and had it not been for
our note of warning, the Treasury would
have lost about $4,000 more than it
did.
We have thus answered the question
sohy We protested" We protested
against Mr.. WuITEHILL's official prac-
tices-against those of Mr.. Bliss
against those of Mr.. BREsLIN-and now,
for the same reasons, and governed by
the same motives, we " protest " against
CHASE, and his man STONE, and the lead
ers of the Republican party, who, be-
cause of their alliance with the Banks
and ~swindling shops of the State, they
dare not do otherwise than resist the
policy of the Democratic party, by which
alone the People will have adequate Sc
curity for the taxes they pay into the
public Treasury.

DR.. RoBAcK-Sir,-The last three bottles O
your Blood Purifier and the accompanying
Pills, have relieved me of the last vestige Of
my rheumatism. l consider the cure ali but
miraculous. After having suffered the most
acute agony, almost without intermission for
eight years, and being for three years a cripple,
l can scarcely realize the fact that at this mo-
ment, after having used your Scandinavian
Remedies for only three months and a few days,
I am a hale, hearty man, capable of manual
labor, and entirely free from pain. When l
first applied TO you, by letter, for a supply of
your medicines, l was little better than a an
natical skeleton. For more than two years I
had never enjoyed one hour of unbroken night
rest, and my mind sinking with my body had
become greatly enfeebled, the very first bottle
of the Purifier wrought a surprising change for
the better in my system, and after taking that
wonderful restorative, together with the Blood
Pills, for one month, ! felt that a complete re-
generation Of every animal function was in
progress. / was not deceived. am now, at
81 years ct age. as free from every symptom of
rheumatism as / was at 20. There can be no
doubt that this wonderful cure is due TO your
remedies alone, and l am willing. if it will
serve you or induce others to seek relief from
the same source, that this letter shouldb b. made
public.

merous but equally putrid swarm of State
Banks, (which he had been compelled to
use for a time1 and inaugurate a system
of official accountability which would
censign the SPENcERs, the LYONS, and
the HARRIsEs to the dungeons of the
Penitentiary. This great measure of a
divorce of Bank and State, and of prop
er penalties for defalcation, was con-
summated under the administration of
his successor, Mr.. VAN buren,. The
bitter and u~nrelentiDg warfare which the
SwARTwoUTs, Prices and SPENCERs, and
the big Bank then scotch'd and the
little Banks, and the whole banded cor
ruptionists of the country, waged against
this great measure of a Constitutional
Treasury, belongs to history.
The same special intereSts-the same
class-the same old grand army of
TREASURY PLUNDERERS, who
detained so loudly and SO fercely
against the .Sub-Treasury in 1887, '38
and 40, will raise their bowls against
the application of the same measure to
our State Finances. And WHY do
they oppose it ? Were they really OPP
posed to stealiDg-were they really in
favor of honest goverument-would they
do it? Why is it that propositions to
make public officers hOnest--to remove
from them temptations to embezzle the
public monies, always provokes such
violent opposition from the leaders of
the Republican party? Certainly, the
mass of that party are honest men-but
the Banks, the corporate interest and
associated wealth of the State, not salts
fed with the immunities and exemptions
which they generally obtain, demand,
also, the use of the taxes wrung from the
producing classes, for purposes of specu-
%lation; and it is this privileged interest
which engineers the Republican party,
gives tone to its policy, and constructs
its platforms.
VIZ now bid adieu to our reverend
friend and his sermon, having given him
more attention than we have to all other
anonymous writer's during the last five
years.

TREASURER OF STATE.

The suggestion of the name of Nor
GAN for Treasurer of State is cordially
responded to by the radical portion of
the Democracy everywhere. All agree
that he is the man for the crisis, and that
his nomination and election ire impora
lively demanded by considerations of
PuBLIC .ECEssIrY.
The Celina Standard has a very able
article urging the Importance, to the
interests of the party and of the State,
ofhis nomination. The Piqua Registe,
Ohio Patriot, Ohio Eagle, Cadiz Scnti-
mel, and several other Democratic jour
nails, the m of which do not at this
moment occur to US, also insist upon the
same thing.
The Republicans have been coqueting
with Hon. ELISHA WHIrTLEsEy, late
Comptroller of the Treasury; but as Mr..
WHIrTLEsEY, Republican thou h he may
be, is AN HOMES MAN, and retired from
public life with a reputation for hostility
to public stealing, he will not sacrifice
that reputation by suffering his name to
go upon the same ticket with CHASE s.
Co. This is our opinion,-and hence
our Republican fellow-citizens will be
compelled to swallow A. P. STONE, with
all his aversion to "poor men" and
&" red patches" If any suppose that
STONE wouldn't keep the moaey, they are
hoaxed; that's all. He will be as
"sound as GIBSON upon the question
of keeping the money he and the

WE cannot pass over, in our notices, so
w important a House in this department
of trade, as that of JouS TENNIS d &C. 1t is
unnecessary to speak of the individuals of
the firm, personally, the great object o four no.
tees being to give our mercantile readers in Il
few words, directory to the houses they may
wish to refer to in particular departments of
trade. We may say, however. of both Mr..
TENNIS and Mr.. DASGLER, that they are among
our foremost merchants and leading operators
in the Wholesale trade. Their store is one of
the finest in the city, and their stock of goods
places them among our first Western Houses.
Merchants dealing in Foreign and Domestic
Hardware, Saddlery, Coach Makers Goods,
UphOlsters' Hardware, or any thing connected
with most of the manufacturing processes and
arts. in the way of tools and stock, will be
found largely provided for in their stock.
We CO not need to be especially descriptive
of varieties in their assortment. Merchants
may order boldly from this house in any
branch of the trade. Scarce any thing needed
in the West. will be found wanting here,
and may be obtained at the best prices the
wholesale trade can give any where.-CLEvE-

WHO STOLE THE MONEY!

This is the question still under dis
c%ussion.
The Republican journals, with several
honorable exceptions, set aside the sworn
statements oftheir leading officials, and
solemnly and pertinaciously aver that
BREsL1N is the thief, and that GIBSON is
a prosecuted patriot.
The last Ashland Times has two cor
respondeuts-one who claims to speak
for d" Tifhn" and the other claiming to
be a preacher,-each insisting that BREs-
LIN alone is the defaulter. The preach
er is endorsed by the editor-one swears
for the othcr-aU swear against BREs-
LIN, and all impeach the oaths of the
Republican legislative committees, of
Saint GIBSON, and of the Republican Au-
ditor WRIGHT, who, in his last Annual
Report, dated December FL, 1856, said I:
"The amount of the available balance
in the Treasury, on the 18th November,
1856, has been stated on a preceding
poge. 1 deem it proper to say that the
accuracy of the amount reported was as
certained, not only by the books Of this
office, and those Of the Treasury depart
me71t, bit 6y personal examination and
count Of the funds an the TFFeas~rcr.'s
uaultS, as required By the provisions of
the act of April 9Th, 1856"
Now in the face of such conflicting
oaths, and swearing hat would put our
army in Flanders to the blush, among
Republican officials, Republican editors,
and Republican preachers, how are we
to get at the truth? Can qoc look for
