TRANSLATION.
There once was time when certain man.
fiesta ions were regarded as indications of
corruption in the Democratic party, but
these manifestations are no longer neces-
sary to announce to the world the integrity
and morality of the parry; by its own con-
duct it announces to the world that it is not
only corrupt but rotten 10 the core. If We
needed any ppof to snbstantIate this posi-
ton, we think the course pursued by its
Press in relation TO the Treasury deialca-
tion as being sufficiently ample and conclu-
sive. Notwithstanding the incontestIble
proofs that the Treasury defalcation, or
rather embezzleme nj of the public funds, had
it's rise and progress under the adminiStra-
ton of the Democratic party; in spite of the
warnings which Democratic Legislatures
ignored, and refused to consummate the
receseary enactments to protect the peO-
pIe's money ;notw outstanding the admissions
of Nessrs. Morgan and Medill that they
were were we'll aware that Bresin was
guilty of embezz cement, and u detaulter;
notwithstanding that when examinations
were proposed, they always were declined
- fse.sFStea by The Democracy; notwith-
standing the incontroVertible fact that il
was Democratic officers, chiefly, who pro-
dsced the disorder,an caused the deficits
unblushingly in the face of all these things
does the Democratic Press grow rancorous,
and even Morgsn's Press is venting its
spleen, and is laboring sedulously to fasten
its own shame on the yeurg Republican
party, and to impute more than an ordinary
portion to Gov. Chase. In all past time
the Democratic party has presented no in
dications Of such thorough corruption as at
the present.
In other days the reserve guard OF Demo-
racy still embodied some honesty, and did
some acts in consequence with truth and
purity; but now all seems to be STEPPED in
vileness and blows through tie same trum-
pc: the deafening howls Of shame.
Chase is the first Governor of OHIO who
has honestly and with whole hear., deter
mined to arrest,e even upon the slightest sus-
picion, peculatisns and official misdemean-
ors. To him, more than to any other State
official, are praises due for having promptly
interfered as a genuine patriot, not only
without regard to party affinities. but in op-
position TO counsel from members fhis own
party. And this man is now to be disgroced
by the meanest and vilest of motives which
actuate the human being.
The trio, Morgan, Medill and Trevitt,
should hide their heads in shame, for they
were the ones, who, fully aware OF Bresiin's
corruption, yet at the same time stood side
by side in the campaign, and not only gave
him their votes, but their influence, by
which his reelection was secured; and in
stead of uniting with those who really and
earnestly desire reforms, are now found ac-
lively engaged in fabricating the most mis-
cradle and contemplate subterluges to con-
ceal Bresiin's viliainy, and SO to represent
the transactions that the charge OF embez-
lement that shall rest chiefly on Gibson's
shoulders; and they even seek to cover the
unimpesehable lie Chase with the basest impu-
tations that ever were coined in the slime
and filth ofthis corrupt and corrupting party.
Miserably wretched must be the man, and
desperate indeed his condition, who uncon-
ditionally submits to the yske o: this party,
and who voluntarily obeys its every behest,
whether founded on right or wrong.
