Faxes. Fina mcial Condition of
the State.

D"A1hg Cne past number of weeks all sorts
OF stories have been circulated tbronob tn.
democratic presses, as to the mi.msp.oanant
OF Gov. Randalls administration. Ex,r,y.osnt
statements Of State Indebtedness, have baor
manufactured at wholesale by that most unscfu-
pulous sheet, the Mad son Patriot and
retailed out to the people by ths presses of that
stripe.
The State Treasurer has made up his official
report, to be presented to the Legislature, for
the fiscal year which closes OH the first day of
October 1859. We ask every candid man TO
examine this official statement statement
which conclusively proves the depravity of those.
VINO have been industriously attempting to make
the people believe that the financial condition.
OF the State is in bad condition.

on the part of the Democracy, that the affairs of
the State are in such prosperous condition under

hard to make out a case of Republican mismsn-
agement-have greedily caught up the fabricl
tons ofthe Patriot, but they fnl it hard after
all, to falsify the official records.
