to that position, has introduced resolu-

ing the President Of being as mean a

have been adopted. They provide

ofthe President, is oil the Committee

and see if he has not one or two more
than is nect ssary! We might as well
have the Ogle humbug re.enacted in
full, Twenty years have elapsed since
that interesting performance occurred,
and some people may have forgotten
it. The Presidents reply to Covode
g. Co., is very fair exhibit of their
dishonesty and scathing rebuke to
their sneaking mode OF damaging his

Retrenehment nnd Retor,,,.

During the campaign last fall the
watchword of the Republicans, in
every part OF the State, &as " Re
tyeacAmsnt and RJormj They
asked the people to place the legisla.
ton of the State in their hands, and
that the happiest results would follow
They promised that there should be
no adjourned session; that the taxes
of the people should be reduced; the
public burdens lighlened; all the
leaks in the treasury stopped and
and all useless offices abolished, and
the public expenditures Fetrehched,-
Promises like these were made by
every stump politician from Cover
nor Chase down to Corwin who took
care of the baggage. The Republi-
can press rang with pledges of IRE
trenchment and Reform" and the
people did return a decided majority
OF Republicans to both branches OF
the legislature. That body met on
| the Cd January and adjourned on the
Goth March, to meet again on the first
Monday of January next. The mem.
bers left there for their homes last
Tuesday morning, and to-day each
and all of them are again moving
among their constituents. What sort
Of an account can they render in'view
Of their pledges Have they fulfilled
them ? Not one. Never were any
people so grossly deceived, cheated
and defrauded as the people of Ohio
have been by this Republican Legs-
lature. Not a single promise has
been fulfilled. Men who pledged to
the people "Retrenchment and Re-
FORM" when seeking their votes,
scoffed at the mention of any thing OF
the sort when here in the Legislature,
aud even declared that the thing was
a bald humbug--that it was impossi,
BILE to Introduce any retrenchment
into the Public Expenditures, or re-
form any of the existing abuses, -
The people who have been deceived
and their interests wholly neglected,
should demand from their servants o
strict account. They should know
why the Public Burdens have not
been lightened why appropriations
were made Tor large sums beyond the
amount that will be derived from
revenue froln all sources why the
Taxes were increased; why all prom
ises have been violated9 And the
answer from these faithless represen-
tatives should be carefully scanned by
the people, and if not sufficient and
satisfactory, the niembeN should be
consigned to the com $lmnation appro.
pirate to such conduct. Who can
doubt the faithlessness of the Republi-
can party after the conduct Of the late
General Assembly 2-&ateSmaa.

A Bankrupt Treasury

Nothing could be more humlliating
toAa community like the people OF
Ohio, then the fact that their State
Elk chequer has not got one dollar in
its vaults. The people pay their tax,
es promptly, notwithstanding the i'm.
mense amount Of money that is drawn
from Them for public dues, but still
through the prodigslity oftheir public
agents, the Treasury is bankruptl-
The Legislature was well aware Of this
fact before it adjourned, and YET while
it was busy in making appropriations
to be paid out of, it took no steps to
replenish the Treasury. Such con.
duct would be regarded IS immoral
and dishonest, in the every day affairs
of life, and should not be resorted to
by the law-making power OF State,
under any circumstances. The Re.
publican legislature which has just
adjourned did not seem to be in the
least concerned at the condition oI
the Treasury, but went on appropri
ating money to be paid ont Of 1t, as
though the vaults were full. We are
now in the fifth year since the Repub
licans obtained the control of the
State Government, ard the result is
that the State Treasury OF the grear
State of Ohio has not to day one dol
lar with which to discharge the cur
rent expenses of the State Govern
ment. What humiliating condition
is this for the third State in tn,
Union! But such is the fact, and il
is the Legitimate fruits OF giving the
political power in the State to thu

The Grand Jury at Charlestowr,
Va, found bills against two men OF
Ohio-Owen Brown, . son of old
John, the uarper's Ferry {: Martyr"
and Francis Merriam-for treason,
murder and melting slaves to insnr-
rection. Gov. Letcher made his req.
uisition on Gov. Dennison for the
delivery of those two men into custo-
dy, to be taken to the State of Va
for trial. The United States Marshal
for the Northern District Of Ohio,
presented the paper in due form to
the Governor, last week, and the lat
ter, after day or two for delibera-
ton, notified the Marshal that he hal
decided not to deLirer either of them.
Tho Constitution OF the United

a fearful step, and committed a treas
enable act, which cannot and will not
