Sale of the Examiner.

Sale of the Examiner.
Mr.. CoRwIN has sold the Examiner 10
w. G. CHENEY, New Yorker, who has
had charge of the Office ever since he has
been in the State-about two years we be-
lieve.
Mr.. CoRw1N says:
NV principal reason for taking this step
is the conviction that the sedentary life am
compelled TO lead as an editor, is incompat-
IDLE with the enjoyment of good health"
This bears''a falsehood on its face, and
will be pronounced as such by all who see
him.
Here is one Of the reasons which induced
him to sell out. 1t explains itself, and needs
no comment from US. We told the people
of this State, CoRwIN was unsound and
was only taking the position he did, because
he could SNAKE it pay" 1t is from dis
patch from Washington City to a New
York paper;
"Senator Green, Of Missouri, has sug-
gested compromise between the disagree
ing factious Of the Democracy, which meets
the approval of President Buchanan and
Secretary Cass, and which, it is expected,
will unite the party. The Western Demo-
crazy insist on the reinstatement of Mr. Doug
las as a regular member Of The party. Mr..
Green proposes TO drop all discussion upon
Intervention and non-intervention as non-es-
esntials, and proposes also the withdrawal
OF all opposition TO the admission of Kan.
sas, whether as free or slave State, in the
next Congress. These bases of accommo-
dation are accepted by the Administration,
and the breach between the factions of De-
mocracy is regarded as healed"
Another reason is that during the session
of the Legislature we were informed he
was drawing more money than honestly be-
louged TO him, when we wrote the follow
, Ing in our daily of march 18th, 1859:
PUBLIC PRINTING.
We have been requested to call the at
tention of the committee of each House on
Printing TO the following section Of the law,
page |, 308, Revised Statutes:
SECTION 81. SIT shall be the duty of the
"Senate and House Committee on Public
"Printing, at each session of The General
Assembly to act jointly, and as far as
"practibly, to have all printing of the same
"matter, ordered by the two Houses, done
''as one and the same job"
Have you complied gentlemen? We fear
not. You have, we learn, already allowed
the present Public Printer 10 draw out of
the Treasury near forty thousand dollars
and that the printing this session will cost
the State over Seventy fUe thousand dollars.
Is this so? Is this Retrenehment and Re-
form? Is it? We call for publication of an
investigation of the matter. We do SO be.
cause we believe false charges have been
made or mistakes. 1t is more than the prin-
ting has cost for the last FIVE or six years
inclusive.
We call upon the Chairman Of the Com.
isittee on Printing for statement-a pub
iIshed statement. We charge no one with
fraud, but we do charge The Committee with
q legal negligence OF their duty. Such ex-
travagance is Characteristic of a corrupt
party who work for plumber and for office
at the sacrifice Of people. No "Matter'1s
to be "leaded" unless by resolution of the
House.
SECTION IA. Page 1906 Revised Stat.
"utes, sand all bills, resolution and accounts
"shall be executed, in close work, and with
"out any unnecessary blank paper attached
"lo the same"
Have you gentlemen Of the Committee
with this section Of the law? Have
you? Is this National Democracy Is il?
The end is not yet."
When this article appeared, Mr.. CoRwIS
was on trip South, "fOr his health" (?)
and it was replied to by one of his hnslings,
We called on Mr.. AMESr at his seat in
The House and asked him if we were not
right, which he acknowledge and stated
that at the fall session the Committee should
call upon Mr.. CoRwrs TO REFUND. This
IS not his words but it is the substance.
We demand an investigation. We left
confident that by the action of the Commit
zee, Mr.. CoRwIx was enable to make from
hirty TO forty thousand dollars during The
'ession.
Another reason is that he had become SO
perfectly obnoxious to The party. that the
.ablnet here refused to endorse his democ-
acy.
We ere glad to par! with Mr.. CoRwIs'
scause We believe he stinks in the nostrils
I'll honorable men. The end is not yet.
