anche Of falsehoods, q shower Of abuse Of the
Democracy and q cloud Of dust. The first
speaker was Hon. s. EDeERToN, Member Of
Congress elect from this District, to whose
remarks we had not the pleasure Of giving
an attentive ear, but il is said he proved to
the satisfaction of all that il what be stated
were true, "them pesky locomotives is, oh
my stars, 90 c'ruptr' Hon. 8. p. CHASE,
after dinner, endeavored to prove that the
defulcations OF BresliB and Gibson were di. |
recty chorgeable, to the Democracy. He
said that during the time the Democrats
were in power, utter the formation Of the
New Constitution, they never attempted to
provide for the safe. keeping Of the public
funts in the Treasury, and that they elected
BresIin who squandered them. To these
charges oil Gov. Chase, we ieel constrained
to say that he has perhapo forgotten that all
attempt was made by the Democratic. mem
bers OF the Legislature, in 1854, to pass
law providing Tor the safe keeping OF the
public moneys, and that the measure wus de-
nounced by all the opposition P'pers in the
State-thut the bankers in the Legislature.

counties IN the Senate, aud be earnestly en-
deavored to get it into ii law, but his effOrts
were powerless against the combined vote
OF the opposition and the bankers. Gov
Chase says that because he Democratic
party elected Bresin, ana he squandered the
money, they should be held responsible.-
! This is grave error into which the Cover
nor has fuiIen-it is also "good j9ke.-
Breslin squandered the money and because
/ Democrats voted for him they are os bad as
he is, indeed! But Gov. Chase not only
voted for Breslin and gave his influence to
secure his election, but also advised and ur.
ged Breslin, Us a friend, to deposit money in
one of the Cincinnati banks, endorsing the
institution as sound. Breslin did 80, and
that bunk swindled the State out Of nearly
$780, 900, ard to no mon more than Salmon
P. Chase, who induced Breslin to deposit
the funds there, does the State OF Ohio owe
this loss. These are facts that we think the
Governor failed to remember on Wednesday
last, and therefore considerably refer tc
them. The last speech was made by A. G
RIDDLE, Esq and was very vigorous ef
fort OF the "God and liberty" style.
