REAL AND Personal PRopEgrY IN IyDr-
ASA--The following statement contains

and personal property in Indiana. for the
year 1860, which we take from tie report
Of the Auditor Of State:
Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1861-02-07
From the New York Evening Post.
The Breckenridge Dodge.

We were arguing yesterday that the
Crittenden proposition. to protect slavery
in certain parts of our territory. was pre-
cisely the point on which Breekinridge
was so signally defeated at the last elec-
ton, we had no idea that Breckinridge
himself was the author of Crittenden's
plan. But such appears to be the CASE
a correspondent of the Herald writing
from. Lexington. Kentucky. under date Of
January 10Th. makes this disclosure;
Il have seen some complaint in certain
newspapers charging the Vice President
with supineness at this time. This il un-
just. Mr.. Breckinridgc is among that
gallant band who are striving to secure
peaceably our rights and are making one
last final effort in the Crittenden amend
ment before an appeal to arms. This is
essentially Mr. Breckinridge's own propo.
sition. and state now to you from the
best personal Authority. which is generally
known here. that the Crittenden amend
ment, SO called was drawn up by Mr..
Breckenridge and NJ. c. johnson. Esq..
Of this city. prior to the departure Of the
former for Washington. and by him taken
on and entrusted to Mr.. Crittendcn. This
you may rely on as authentic beyond .
question"
This is about the sharpest practice in
politics that we have ever known; and the
sly Vice President ought to be voted .
leather medal at least for his impudencs.
Defeated before the people by . vote Of
more than three million, he has yet the su-
dacity to offer the very principle on which
he was so Overwhelmingly defeated. as ''a
compromise to his victorious antagonists.
Sprawling upon the ground he says to
them, like the highwayman in Don Juan.
when he was knocked down: "Gentlemen.
I'm ho,red," but st,sightway sprinsing
up. he conceals himself behind his person
al friend Crittenden. and. presenting pis-
tol to our heads. threatens to blow our
brains out if we DO not accept his principles
under the name Of ''compromise."
Breckenridge must be q genius in his
way. If he had been elected President We
should have had him and his slavery pro-
lection dogmas for four years at most; bus
having been rejected by the people. he now
proposes to incorporate these dogmas per-
manently into the Constitution. as amend
ments. Better for the Republicans to have
allowed the election to go BY default than
to have triumphed on such terms. What
is worse. Mr.. Breckinridgc menaces civa
war if we do not accept his overtures.-
This same gentleman. too, if we are not
mistaken. was few years ago about to
remove inte Minnesota. to escape tho IN
fiuences of slavery in Kentucky.

seutei. Thus the limitations set to the
public expenditures by the General Assem-
bly, are broken down, and as consequences.
the finances are thrown into confusion. do
mestie debts are created, and fraud and
corruption in contracts countenaneed.
Public plumber, decentralization Of official
honesty, and heavy Indebtedness. are NOT
the only results Of this course. As these
officers cannot levy additional taxes To
meet their additional expenditures. they
seize one fund to meet the expenses OF an
other; and as "oficial compensation is
not much increased by such expenditures
as made to the common schools, and pay
ment of our public debt, these pure and
useful objects of State expenditure ara
stripped of their legal appropriations
What then is the duty Of our General
Assembly and of Governor Morton? We
answer:
L. That the General Assembly declsrs
by law that the Auditor shall not issue .
warrant for any purpose, beyond the
amount appropriated to it. and that he
shall be liable on his official bond for any
excess.
2. That the Governor shall be requir-
ed, as indeed faithful discharge of his
duties now require of him. q constant SUI
peryision of the official acts of tho State
officers. with power to stop any action
by them which he may consider illegal.
For all indebtedn SIS, which tho Rspub-
lican party has thus inherited from their
political opponents. we hope to see . spe-
cial tax levied. that the people may see it
was no debt of Republican origin.-Ind;-

The Financial Condition of the State.

When Gov. Hammond announced in
his message that nearly the whole Of the
January installment of Interest. due on the
State debt had to be provided for by loan.
it was no hasty judgment in Gov. Morton
to declare that the financial condition OF
the State was in great embarrassment and
confusion. and to demand that the laws
should be enforced and peculation resist
cd.
Not only has this loan been made. but
by turning to the report Of the Auditor Of
State for 1860. page 28. it will be seen
that the State is still indebted as follows:
Loan from Sinking Fund to pay inter
est July l., 1853 .s165, 900 90
Indebtedness Of the General Fund to
other funds. s.................9e9 9e9, l6o 81
Domestic debt. 81, ia, lSS 50
This'is portion Of the legacy left by
the Democratic administration Of our State
affairs to the incoming Republican admins
tration. Let the people look to the fact that
the Republican party must provide for the
payment Of this domestic debt. for it is =
debt owing to funds that need its payment.
OF this debt, s3O3. .92l 6s are due the
common school fund. and there is prop
osition now before the House contemplating
its immediate payment. To the State debt
Sinking Fund there is owing S541, ,176 20.
This fund was raised to liquidate gradually
the State debt. but instead of devoting it
to this sacred purpose, as directed by Tar.
it has been illegally appropriated to other
purposes.
What these purposes are may bejudgcd
by one of the leading acts that has charac
terized the Democratic administrator Of
our State affairs. We allude to that gross
and intolcrable practice Of "OvERpnAwiSG
THE ArPRoPRIATroSs '-apractice that vests
in the State officers powers which belong
to the General Assembly alone.
From the Auditors report for 1859, it
is seen that the appropriations overdrawn
for that year. for various objects of public
expenditure. amounted to about SIS. .S27,-
IS. and in 1860. by the report for that
year. to about $50. .480 A.. making togeth-
er S75,30S 27.
II the General Assembly means to toler-
ate this practice any longer, it should at
least, give it some scmblancc of legality,
by declaring that the officers of the State
may draw any amount ont Of the Treasury.
for any purpose they desire. connected with
tho ordinary or extraordinary expenditures
Of tho State
Take as an instance of the result of this
illegal practice. the payments on account
of the Northern State Prison. Mr.. Jen-
kinson declared in the House. the other
day. that he had examined the Auditors
books, and found warrants on account of
this Prison, amounting to about 800 600.
The appropriation was for $50, 900 only.
He also stated that there were $40. 600
