How 1t Is.

We supposed we had sufficiently refuted
the stale falsehood, so often reiterated by the
Pioneer, Times, Advertiser and other Loan
Press and Loan advocates,
-"That no State has levied or paid SIM
gle dollar of taxation for interest or princi-
pal of Bonds so issued'-that is issued bv
States as loans to internal improvement sys-
tens.
But the Pioneer of the 7th gives US re-
hash of the same dose. 1t cites MARYLAND
and Missouri as instances.
The facts in regard to these States are SIM
ply thus:
Although they have not "leuied" single
dollar of 'ta1ation" they have 'paid' hundreds
cfhousands Of dollars of interest on loans Of
State credit, and we have reason to believe
the writer of the article in the Pioneer knows
the fact.
Instead Of leuying a tao, and paging the
money, they have increased their respective
State debts by issuing, in both instances,
State bonds to pay the interest on their loans
of State credit.
The Nsw Rork f. Erie is not the only in
stance in that State. There are large num-
Der of others. The .Neuersink Nariaatim
Company, the KatshA$ Cangaharie, the
Nhico E. Osvego, Buffalo Greek Harbor, Ha1-
son E Berkshire Companies, as we'll as others,
the names of which we cannot now recall.
The weekly Minnesotian. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1852-1858, 1858-04-10

The State of Missouri, continually quoted
by the loan advocates, was obliged, only the
past winter, in order to save ner faith from
dishonor, to issue large amount of special
State interest Bonds to pay the interest on the
Loan of her State credit to her Railroad
Companies
The city of Pittsburg was also compelled
the past winter to provide for the delinquency
of the Connellsville Railroad Company, in fail
ing to meet the interest on the City Bonds
which had been loaned to it for its uses.
These are FAcrs-undisputable and un-
mistakable facts-yet these Legislators, these
Railroad officials, and these hireling presses,
publish to the world the infamous lie, that
"no State has euer lost dollar by ioaning her
credit"
Those sixty legislators are disgrace to the
State whose sentiments and intelligence they

LecOmpton Killed I'm the House"-Anc
Administration FlOOred.

The Chicago Press Of the I'd says:
YESTERDAY will be memorable day in the
annals of the House of Representatives. All
the cajolery, bribery, and attempted intimi-
dation on the part of the Administration, as
siduously brought to bear upon the members
of that body for many weeks back, have ut
ierly failed of their intended effect. Lscomp-
ION is dead, and can have no hereafter except
as thing of Infamous memory. The report
of yesterdays proceedings in the House. Civ
en- under the Geographic head, tells how the
thing was done. 1t was the result Of fair
open fight. Mr.. Stephens moved the pre-
vious question on the Senate bill, when Mr..
Montgomery, of Pa, moved Mr.. Crittenden's
amendment slightly modified, as substitute,
and the substitute was adopted by eight ma
.ority. Every Anti-Lecompton man was at
his post and did his duty"
This is glory enough for one day. On
this measure the Administration had staked
its reputation,-nay, its very existence, and
having lost, must sink to hopeless ignominy
and contempt What little prestige it ever
had is gone. Its late vainglorious boasting
of strength and deter mination to punish all
rebels" who dared to oppose Lecompton ap-
pears ridiculous in the extreme. Let all Che
people rejoice that this poor caricature Of
craftsmanship, this would-be despotism has
found in the House the rock to grind it to
powder"

The Fight for Freedom.

The Missouri Democrat boldly proclaims
that the contest for the entire extirl.ation of
slavery from that State will not cease until
victory crowns the issue. 1t intimates that
similar telling exists in Kentucky, Mary
land and Delaware, and that it looks to the
Republican party to bear the brunt of the
battle.
The mission of the Republican party will
not end with the redemption Of Kansas from
the bonds of slavery. 1t will eight on, fight

With the victory won, and it's fruits Sc

Not Very Cheering to Them.

The Lake City Tribune of the 9th ult, has
the following paragraph, by which it will be
seen that SAM. BEMAN and his spirited party
OF members of the Legislature going home,
did not meet with a very cheering welcome
on their way down:

BILE members of the Legislature came down
on the Grey Eagle last night, among whom
we had the pleasure Of meeting Messrs. Rid.

Anxious for More Light.

We notice by the proceedings of the Point
Douglas Precinct meeting, published yester-
day, that the People are getting anxious for
eight" on certain subjects: are becoming
jealous of illumination from Railroad quar-
tiers being entirely confined to their Repre-
sentatives. They are demanding to know the
details Of the expenditure of that 100000
loaned by the La Crosse and Milwaukee
swindlers to Mr.. EDMUND RIcE's Minnesota
and Pacific Company, and (which never
reached the Treasury of that Company!'-
They also seem annoyed at the Imprisonment
Of Moses M.SrRoNc,as through his testimony
they expected to receive the wished-for light.
We inform them, that Moses is out Of Jail ;
and has consented to tell his experience; but
whether he will tell the whole story, is doubt

SENATOR GREEN in his closing harangue
on the Leconpton question, gave, in a few
words, the essential creed of his party-that
is, "a lie we'll stuck to is as good as the
truth"
The conductors and writer's for the Dai.
ly Times newspaper would, on this principle
make valuable members of the Lecompton
party; and we expect to see them follow their
destiny in that direction before a great while.
There is an opening in ST. Paul for Le-
compton organ: and the Times dear friends,
the Rices, having gone over to that side, it will
probably follow suit. If the ostensible edi-
tor of that sheet would only sit down and
calculate the amount Of government patron
age he would receive by taking such course,
it would convince him at once that BucHAN.

That LithOgraph.

The Autograph representing the Gopher
train, which the boys are selling about town
rs the Railroad Characteristics" annoys the
Times-man considerably. He has a fling at
the figure of old Clootie, who in regard to the
Railroad rascals, says, II will devel-ope their
resources when l get them to my depot"
The editor of that sheet had better be eau
tious how he thus abuses lis friends some
day he will regret it. Nor do we see why
ne should accuse the gentleman with the
horns and tail with being opposed to the
Loan. Does the farmer curse the ground
that yields him fine crop? No, indeed.
The Satanic figure in the picture we observe,
is merely following closely the wheel barrow
upon which sits the figure which has copy
Of the Times hoisted as his banner and if he
with the tail is On foot, the Times ought not
20 take on airs of superiority over him on
that account. 1t isn't everybody that is feed
by Railroad Company, and can therefore
afford to ride in buggy. The hard times
may have effected even old Nick.

we regret that we cannot follow the formula
further, and cave Gods mercy on its soul.

in its opposition to the great wrong-the
outrage upon justice-the disgrace to the
