Government Expenditures

The black Republican County Con.
~vention condemned the 'wasteful extrav-
agance of the present Administration"
The expenditures of the government is
now one of the themes of the black.re

reporters. From one wild statement

tradicted, so that we now find them bel

ing their statements by figures no two
of which are alike. Some put down the
expenditures of the past year at 20 odd
millions; other at IS millions, and a ma
jority, who prefer tine biggest lies, run
on to 90, 100, l03 and l07 millions of
dollars. If they were left entirely un-
contradicted, they would 60 on piling up
the figures so that in a short time they
would have the amour up to 200 mil

the Ridiculous sums they now use, it be-
comes necessary to show what really is
the expenditure. For this purpose we
prefer statements prepared by honest Re-
publicaus themselves. The n. Y. Times
Washington correspondent had "the
time and material for making a close ex-
animation of the subject" and he fnds
the sum total of appropriations for the

ther, some moro of the appropriations
of 81 millions arc not fairly chargeable
to the administration Of MIR. Buchanan,
for many millions were necessarily ex-
pended by him in driving Brigham
Young out Of the Office OF Governor of
Utah, to which he was appointed during
the Taylor and Fillmore administration.
Hence if the account were freed of all
matter not properly belonging to it, it
would be found that the expenditure is
less than it was during the last year of
President Pierce's administration, as the
appropriations are less than the lavish
ones of the last Republican Congress

More about the Tyranny OF the
Times and Insurance Clique.
Mr.. FEM was a candidate for re-nom.
ination to the Office of Commissioners
It is the custom of all parties to re elect
an officer who has faithfully discharged
his duties.-and no complaint being
made on this score, his friends annoui-
ced his name as u candidate for re-nom-
nation, aud the Times company %rcceiv-
ed the usual dollar for the service.
But Mr.. FEM wasn't Ensured" in
the company He was not a good instru.
ment for their purposes; and Mr.. D. G.

pany, and * A MAN WHOSE
NAME HAD NOT EVEN BEEN
ANNOUNCED2 received the nom.
i%natiop! Old NICK BIDpLE in his palm
lest days never play, d a more adroit
high handed or successful trick than this!
Again, the same uuheard-of piece OF
tyranny was enacted with regard to Sher-
if. Messrs. SPENCER and HILDEBRAND
had announced their names, but Mr..
CoULTER. q man whose name had not
been announced or taken iuto considera
tion by the masses of the Republicans
was my~steriously forced upon tho Con-
v~cntion and put through under the iron
pressure of tho Insurance Corporation
Mr.. COULTER, it is probably thought,
would make a better "ogent" than either

to say about negro slavery, if they can
endorse ard submit their necks to tyran-
ny like this!

suran Co
hasn't money

hasn't money enough.
We were informed on Saturday, by an
intelligent and reliable Democratic friend
from a township north of this, that our
notice of the .intrigues of tho Ashland
clique by which Mr.. FINLEY was defeat
ed, and Mr. PORTER nominated, by the
Republican Convention for Auditor, was
misunderstood. He appeared to awe
fears that some Democrats would con-
strue what We said into a reflection upon
them. We do not see how such q con.
struction could have been placed upon
our notice Of the affair. We merely
gave the reasons, as we understood them,
why Mr.. FINLEY, who was the undoubt.
ed choice of the Republican party, WAS
thrown aside, and Mr.. PORTER, the can
didate of the Ashland Times and the
Ashland Insurance Company, was nomi.
mated ia his stead.
We wish to say here, distinctly, and
by way of explanation, that it is our firm
conviction that the Ashland Insurance
Company havo not sufficient money or
other assets to seduco any considerable
number of Democrats from their allr.
glance TO their party. The Republican
leaders Of the north undertook too large
n contract. And furthermore, we desire
to say, that those colored Republicans
from the north, in our opinion: had no
more right or authority to offer for sale
one hundred Democrats in OraDge-or
rather, to pledge them to the support of
Mr.. PoRIER-than their political father
had, on a certain occasion, to offer to
bargain away the Kingdoms of the earth.
We know the Democracy of Orange
township too well--we know that they
have too much regard for their political
honor and integrity--to render them
justly liable to the implications which
the political stock jobbers of the Repub-
lican party are seeking to fasten upon
them. The Insurance Co, therefore, is
cheated for once. The parties of whom
they bought hadn't q good tile they
were not authorized to sell. The Com.
pany can swindle the Republican party
of the back townships oct of their choice,
by buying up delegates as they come in
to Republican Conventions; but it can't
buy Democrats, because it hasn't money
enough. Fact.

The clamor about "cliqucs.~

We clip the following from the Wayne
Co. Democrat. The Times here, and
the junto of Republicans who have been
seeking office ever since the county was
organized, have raised their annual cry
about "cliques." The clamor at this
time is all the more silly, because the
Offices of this county were never filled
by men of more capacity, or greater
purity of public and private character,
than those Democrats who now occupy
them. 1t is simply because of their 10
flexible integrity as officers and Demo
Gratis, that they are assailcd BY the organ
of the Ashland Insurance Company
an incorporation whose ambition for
wealth and power will never be satiated,
until Democrats cease voting, and allow
it absolute control of the money md
votes of the people:
WELL SArD!-The following paragraph
in relation to the silly cry of clique
which is frequently heard from dissatis'
fed Democrats, is from that excellent
Democratic paper, the Hardin Go. DEM
ocrat, edited by A. S. Ramsey, Esd
The talk suits US exactly:
I'VE have never known a man to com
mence crying cliquet clique!! and max
ing trifing, childish objections to the
action of the party, where no principle
is involved, but what eventually landed
amongst the opposition. They only
mike this a pretext for going over to the
enemy and when they once begin, the
sooner they take the step the BETTER
better for the party and better, certain
ly, for their reputation as honest men,
We hope there are no such Democrats II
this county but if there are any such
when they approach you with the a n Of
Democracy on their lips and saying you
must put down a clique,--you must de.
feat such a candidate, and you must put
down such a man, &c, Sc, turn to them
a deaf ear; they are not Democrats
they are wolves in sleeps clothing.

TsThe Ashland Times a Clique by
ifReIR.r1

To be sure it is, although the Times
makes a sort of halfway denial of the
charge
Why, just look at the institution
Here is the Ashland Times aud the
Ashland Insurance Co. mixed in togeth-
er-both using the same presses, the
same type, the same ink, the same paper,
the same fuel, the same gas!-and both
controlled by the same man! The Ash
land Times is "a clique by ITSELF in the
same sense that the late U. States Bank
was "a clique by itseJ." NICK BrDDLE
was the engineer of the Bank clique. 1t
was he (BIpDLE) who undertook to rule
the country by buying up politicians
and it was be, really, who was "tbe
clique by itself" If BrDDLE had only
had control of a big Insurance company
there's no saying what he might have
done.
Brother SRENGLE is o Nick BIpDLE
in O small way. His twins-tho Times
and the Insurance company beat the
masses of the Republican party and its
clearly designated candidates, and nom-
mated, on a purely financial basis, the
candidates of the clique.
Don't talk to US, of Montgomery Tp.,
Ashland Co., and State of Ohio, about
the coup d'etat of the French usurper.-
HIS star went down among the people Of
the town, county and State aforesaid, on
the afternoon of the 4th of September,
1858. The autocrat of the Insurance
Company and the Times establishment
is ahead! As Mr.. WARD, the veteran
who has been sin the show bisnes" twen-
ty-two years md some days, would say,

day.
Notwithstanding the very busy season
among the farmers of the county, and
notwithstanding Republican predictions
of failurc-the wish being father to The
thought-the meeting on Saturday was
sufficient to fill the town Hall, and
embraced Democrats from all parts Of
che county.
Mr.. PucH, notwithstanding the fatigue
resulting from bis constant labors du.
ring the campaign, acquitted himself
with high credit. We heard one who
never voted any other than a ticket op-
posed to the Democracy, say that it was
shs ablest speech he ever listened to, and
had convinced him of the po-
sition of the Republican party upon one
point at least.

unanimously adopted

The Ashland I~nsuranee Company,
The Democracy OF Ashland County.

This case will be for trial at the Oc-
tober term. A portion of the facts are
already in possession of the jury. In
the case of the Company against the
rank aud file of the Republican party,
which was tried on the 4th instant, "a
s'suap Judgment was taken against de-
fendant;-but in the case fixed for trial
three weeks from Tuesday, which really
amounts to an appeal from the verdict
in the former case land which, be it re-
memberad, comes before q much higher
court, and before a full and intelligent
jury it is pretty clear that defendant
will have the advantage.
Tho issue involved is one of great i'm
portance. If plaintiff, who is suspected
of having tempered with the jury, SHOULD
succeed, it will involve consequences
VIII ich will be felt for years to come.
Among other absurd claims set up by
plaintiff, is an attempt to foreolose Oh a
bogus bill of sale upon the political
franchises and b~irthright of certain of
| the defendants. There is no record ev-
idence that any such bill of sale was
ever executed. Plaintiff does not even
| claim title under any contract with de-
PENDANTS themselves, but pretends to de-
rive it in consequence of certain pledges,
assurances, winks, blipks, mods, &C., OF
parties belonging TO lis otSn household.
The claim is clearly fraudulent. Par
ties who claimed ownership and power
to sell, had no valid title in the prop
erty whatever-and if the Company had
purchased the State of Vermont of P.
T. Baruum or Artemus Ward, and had
sought to acquire possession Of that lit
tie Commonwealth under q title thus
derived, the effort would not be more
preposterous. And SO the jury will fluid.
Mark it.
