You thus see Why the Democrats in
troduced the bill, forced its passage b,
means Of d ssselecf'' conmitte in the House
with Samuels as Chairman, and in the Sen
ate, where they then had majority, votet
down the Efforts Of the Republicans to ament
the Bill when its effect was discovered.
For portion Of the money paid to Re
pabticat State Printer (Moriarty) undel
1that Democratic Act, Republican Admin

is now pending in the Courts. -
We need state no other facts on this point
to arouse your indignation against the men
and party leaders, who thus falsify the record
of the State, and attempt to, impose theil
falsehoods and Misrepresentation upon a

documents to correct them. -.e.- .s...

"The State has already appropriated the erection

naked walls are yet scarcely completed. .ss

LOSS TO THE STATE"
As charged against the former Auditor.
FALSE CHARGE so. 4. -....
son the lst of Nov, 1854, VIM. Pattee,
a Democratic Auditor, as appears by bis
Report, reported to the General Assembly
that there was balance in the treasury on
that day of Sis, ,552 So" While in the Re-
publican Auditors Report of Now, 1856,
''instead of crediting the State with the sum
of SIS ,522 55, as money in the treasury on
the lst Of Nov, 1854, as stated by VIM.
Pattee, the Democratic Auditor, he gave the
State credit for only $l0,006 Sc. Here is
a loss Of S., 800 the State. John Pattee
been done cith this 81, 800"
THE TRUTH.
WIN. Pattee reports receipts
into the State Treasury ('534)
including $l0,5l5 70 from ....
the sale Of Saline Lands" at $l34, ,0G5 IS
Disbursements upon war
rants and interest, s'including
one drawn against the Saline ...
Land Fund Of $5,00O," 1852 90
Leaving a balance in State
Treasury. Nov. i, 1854, of 1882 IS
You will observe that into
this balance the Saline Fund
enters (sl0,5l5.7O less s., ,0OO)
to the amount of 5,5l5 70
Which being deducted, leaves $lO,OO5 S5
as the balance of Reusnue in State Treasu-
ry Nov. /, 1854, according to the Demo
cratic Auditor. The Saline Fund, and
Reuenue, are separate accounts, and re-
qured by law to be kept separate, .---
Now turn to the Republican Auditors Re-
port of Nov. l, 1856, (Senate Documents of
1857, page l54, and you find he credits the
State with "balance of Reuenue in Treasu-
ry at this time,"t i. e., Nov. l.,
1854, $lO,O06 s6
S Also, amount Saline Land
money in the Treasury at that
time" lO,5l5 20
Making total credit to State,
Nov. /, 1854, $50, ,522 Sc
which is ($5,000 Oily fpe thousand dollars
and one cent! more credit than the Demo-
A.l L. -
600 is the loan from the Saline Fund to the
Medical. College at keokuk, which WIN. Pat
tee dropped out of the account, and which
John Pattee put in again. What is your
opinion of such an utter, absolute, down
right Justification Of records SO plain that
any man may read?
But, once more:
FALSE CHARGE NO. 5.
"Again, on the lst day Of Nov. 1856, in
his report Of this State, John Pattee, elected
State Auditor, reported to the General AS
sembly, that there was on that day in the
State Treasury, balance of money amount
ing to S25 ,226.S3. For this sum, the State
should have had credit by John Pattee, in
his Report of Nov. l, 1857. But instead Of
crediting the State as balance in the Treas
ury on the lst of Nov. 1856, he gives the
State credit in his last Report Of 1857, for
only the sum of Sll, ,254.9l. Here is $l4,-
900 entirely undccounted for by The duditor.
No man can tell from the Report hsw that
sum has been used, how it was applied, or
what became of it,"
This is is the charge exactly as made. 1t
is further alleged that the Auditor " has
entirely failed" to state whether it has been
used, or is still in the Treasury.
THE TRUTH.
Mr.. John Pattee states the balance in the
Treasury in his Repors of Nov. !, 1856, and
on that date, at $25, ,226.S3.
Into this balance enters las
stated in the same report. See
Senate Documents, 1857, page
l54) Amount of Saline Land
money received from his pre- ~
decessor, Nov. l, 1854, and
still in the Treasury according
to his books l0,5l5.I0,
amount received from sales OF
saline lands since Nov. l, 1856. 3,456.2l,
Fund y ls,s7l.l9,
which being deducted from the
whole balance above Of $780,
226.S3, lenves as the exact -.
balance of Reuenus in the .... 81.
Treasury brought forward
from Nov. l, 1856, u,254.92,
difference Of one cent from what it is
stated to be in his Repert Of Nov. l, 1851.
This charge was made and exploded last
year, and is now renewed in the face Of
truth and knowledge.
The balance in the Treasury under both
Democratic and Republican Adninistrs atoms
has been made up Of at least two balances,
namely, the balance Of Saline Land Fund,
which was never paid out for general pur-
poses and the balance Of Repenue, which
was always disbursed for general purposes.
When the balance wasGried forward, both
balances were included IN it. At the open
ing balance of the next Report, they are
separated. p. a aa
These falsifers take one balance, that Of
Rerenue, only; and suppress the other, that
Of the Saline Land Fund; and thus attempt
