raised in a slave state, and had owned slaves
Yet he had never sold one, and they had all

take on the subject of emancipation from those
who reside out of them. IL ras rery easy for

to make a speech on the subject of emaucipat on

are fully developed, it win be demon
strated that the failure Of the prison to
sustain itself cannot be fairly charged TO
those entrusted with its management or
administration. Then why does be not

He cannot deny that the directors de-
uanded an appropriation from the State
Treasury, Of over SIS, 200, to pay off
the accrued indebtedness, and IS, 900
more 10 meet the deficiencies of tho
next two years This outrageous state
of affairs is sufficiently " developed By
the fact that the directors have hired out
the prisoners at q scandalously inadA
quate price. Our readers will find the
report of the Senate Committee on State
Prisons, In our columns this morning,
and will be able to demonstrate from
the facts thus stated, whyit is that the
Jeffersonvilfe Penitentiary makes such
heavy demands upon the public treasury.
But the Sentinel finds defense of
Democratic delinquencies, in the fact
that the public burdens have been
greatly increased during the admins
tration of Mr.. Lincoln. It remarks:
Are the taxes, the public burdens, less
than they were two or four years ago2
Has the State debt been diminished by
the dominant party7 Has the State debt
been lessened by abolition policy? When
the administration Of the national gov
ernment Was transferred four years ago,
TO the party now in power, the public
debt was comparatively nothing, and the
taxation direct and indirect was scarce
ly felt. And what Ia the result of Repub
lican 6nsnciering7
We answer, that except for expendi-
lures made necessary by the war, the
public burdens are less than they were
four years ago. That the civil affairs of
the State have been managed with more
economy than they were under Demo
cratic administrations, and that the
State debt existing prior TO the outbreak
of the rebellion has been largely reduced
That the national debt has beeR greatly
increased all men know, but the Sentinel
does not ascribe it to the true cause
Had it's party submitted to the will of
the majority, as it's adversaries had al
ways done, there would have been no
war, nor any increase of debt or taxa
aion. The war and its sacrifices are the
result of the rebellion of the Southern
wing of the Democratic party against a
popular election, and we may add, too,
that they are the penalties the people
are now paying for keeping that intoler-
ant and revolutionary party so long in
power.

Democratic Flnancierins.

The Sentinel expresses surprise that
we should complain Of such small Demo-
cratic sharp practice as hiring out the
labor of the penitentiary convicts for o
term Of years at forty cents q day, at q
time when common labor commands
two dollars; and thinks it trivial mat
ter when John @. Walker speculatsd on
State funds for nearly two years, and
then, instead of paying back the money,
compelled the State to tak9 her public
stocks at from Ave to ten per cent
higher than they would have cost il
Walker had purchased them when the
money was placed in his hands for that
purpose. We are not surprised that the
Sentinel is amazed at our Complaints of
these practices. 1t has 90 long been the
custom Of Democratic officials, in this
State, to use the public funds for their
own profit, that the right TO do so is es-
teemed one of the cardinal doctrines of
the party.
The Sentinel Chains that Walker used
but $50, 900 of the State funds in his
speculations. In this it is mistaken.
That sum was forwarded to him more
than eighteen months ego, TO be used in
the purchase of State stocks. and in
addition to that he received more than
so, 600 from Colonel Hudson, his pre-
decessor. Why did not Walker use this
money in the purchase of State stocks
when they could have been got at eigh-
ty-five cents on the dollar3 The only
answer that can be given is, that he was
using the money in specnlations in Wall
Street, or investing it in other individusl
enterprises. While he was using this
money the State was paying interest on
the stocks which she afterwards received
from him, and besides, had 60 pay soIe
