An Exposure OF Democratic state
(NIts,manage1nen

made such spirited speeches in this portion
of the State not long since, and disgraced
himself and the State of which he is the
head, by uttering his maudIin ISLANDERS
(against a respectable portion of his fellow
citizens) has in various speeches famongst
them the one made here) brought divers
charges of fraud corruption, and mis-
management against the Republican and
Wing parties in connection with State af-
fairs. The Democratic party, seeing that
their national conduct cannot bear defense,
have started Gov. Willard, Mr.. Hendricks,
and other speakers around the State, 10
make brazen- faced and wilfully false charges
of extraVagance and corruption against the
Old Whig and present Republican parties
which in justice lie at the door of the DEM
ocratic party. The Democrats are getting
desperate rs their end draws nigh, and in
their despair over the certain loss of their
national power, they are making a wild
grasp on their State power which is also
about departing from them. Their only
hope is in the retention of the local Offices.
That party for about sixteen years has
had charge of the affairs of State. During
the last eight or ten years of that time, they
have carried on their peculating operations
with high hand. They have swindled
the people out of untold thousands. But
day of reckoning is coming soon, and with
lips quivering with fear, they initiate the
rogue who cried " stop thief" to divert at
tention from himself in charging on the
Republican party wrongs of which they
themselves are guilty.
In retutation of these false charges
against the Republican party, and in order
to fasten them where they belong, we yes
terdav commenced the publication OF an
able and truthful speech, delivered at Bloom
ingtOn, Monroe county, July 81, 1860, by
Hon. Morton G. Hunter, prominent Repub-
lican representative in the last Legislature
from the above county, aud member of sew
eral of the most Important committees
The speech was reported for the New AL
bany Tribune, to which paper we are in
debted forit. This effort furnishes a triumph
against the Whig and Republican parties
by the Democratic officials and office-seek-
ers, in connection with State affairs. We
earnestly ask every voter-every tax-pay-
er-to read it carefully. Ii is lengthy, and
will require about two weeks of our time
to publish it, but in order to set all parties
right for the approaching State election, the
space and time necessary will be well occu-
pied. Read it, every one.
We notice that Mr. Hunters speech, in
speaking of Messrs. Collins and Talbot,
does not state that they were not Repubii-
cans but Fasionists They were elected
in 1854. The Republican party did not ex-
ist until 1856. Moreover, they were Dem
ocrats before they were elected by the
Fusion party; so was DR.. Nofsiger Ia highly
honorable man, whom Gov. Willard is try
ing in vain to ruin in the es stimation of his
fellow citizeus). DR.. Talbot, so soon as he
was out of office, returned to his congenial
associations, ani is member now of one Of
the factions of the Democratic party. The
probability is, that he only joined the Fu-
sionists for Office What Justice is there in
holding the Republican party responsible
for wrongs done the people of the State, by
men who were Democrats until the eve
of their election by the Fsslon party, and
whose term expired about the time that
the Republican party became party?
