The Toledo Blade, like the Cleveland Leader
and sandusky Register. is in an awful bad hu'

pnrpose of nominating q Democratic Union

consistent with our views, and the welfare Of
the country, we would gladly use our influence,
to have the call 90 worded that they might be
admitted as members Of the Convention. From
the wording of the resolutions ofthe committee
these papers are no doubt excluded; though we
hoped that they would reconsider their course

unhappy condition, and unite with us In an at
tempt to redeem the nation from its perilout
condition. If our friends, are not Of those "whc
are In favor of perpetuating the principles upor
which our Union was founded" OF course they
have no business in the convention. And II they
are not satisfied BY this time "that the present
State and National Administration, are wholly
incompetent to muuuge the government In its
present critical condition, then there Is no hope
for them ever being satisfied with anything, no

in the Convention. They ore not included In
the call. What the condition of the National
Government will be, when the "powers that be-"
release their hold, time alone will determine
But SO far as they have gone, our 'o'rH fears
will no doubt be fully realized.
As for our State affairs-no one ventures TO
evea apologize for them. The condemnation is
universal, emphatic and overwhelming.
THREE MILLIONS or DOLLARS were aporopriat-
ei by the Legislature, to be paid from the hard
earnings Of the people, almost without asking
question. It was put at the disposal OF the
Executive, three months since, and what is our
condition now7 OF its improvident expenditure
the whole people have complained. No one
defends Il that we know Of. And now, at this
day, about sEvKN HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
have been paid out, and about TWELVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS of claims are in the hands
of citizens, who are clamoring at the doors Of
the State Offices for payment, and cannot be
paid. The officers of the State--after shining
our state bonds about In this State, are now In
New York, going through the same operation.
The bonds Of ohio-always regarded as FIRST
GLASS bonds in the market-will not command
SO osnts on the dollar, though Il Is known that
no people are more prompt in the payment Of
their taxes than the people Of Ohio, or bear
them with more patience. This loss Of credit
does not arise from any fear, on the part OF
capitalists, that the people will repudiste their
just srgag gsments; but from the knowledge that
she State Government 10 10 Incompetent hands,
and that the money has been squandered In Q
most villaiuous manner, in outrageous contracts,
bestowed upon political favorites, TO such On
extent that the tax payers will become outraged
ct the infamous expenditure Of their money,
thereby rendering its collection tardy.
