Upon these allegations we torbear to
comment. They do otrequire 1t. No one
of the many friends Of the State Treasurer
can regret their publication more sincar6ly,
or witness 1t more painfully, than does the
writer of this article.
| The lao, Intended 10 pr6viae against the prt-
gate use Of public funds, in any manner 'chat-
ever, under which the special examination

was reported. 1t is severe, comprehen-
| sive, and carefully, guarded statute. Itsre-
auiren,ents are plain, and the penalty for their
violation is vacation Of office and criminal pros
ecution.
So, then, this superfine patriot, Mr.. DOR
sEY, who was fighting ''copperheadsn inl
tlie rear, aand who walked through our
streets with peacock strut, ''has abused
the trust reposed in him by the people of
Ohio-has outraged the confidencesef the
party by which he was chosen Treasurer,
! and has violated the law whichshe s9ore to
d pbey when he entered on the duties of the
office"-a law the es'requirements" of which
are .plain, and the penalty for their viola
tionfs uecdtion Of Office and criminal prosecu-
4 ton" This is not all that this superfine
4 patriot who was fighting the 'icopperheads',,
i inithe rear, did, He made Jan .eimpropsr
i use" "of United States securities belonging
d to soldiers, who received pay for U. S. SER
! vice through the State Treasury" We
don't propose to grow indignant over TIN
matter. Mr.. ODLN has only broken
4 the shell, Let the people throw into
the next Legislature majority Of Dem
ocrats, and disclosure of scoundrel-
ism practiced by this sort of patri-
OTIS will be made that would make SATAN
himselfswhen inhis blackest mood, blush
Crimson NododbtAthe Abolition organs
will denounce this statement as an outrage
GUS faisehood. We beg the people to recol-
lect, that when we called attention to the
rumor that Mr.. DORSEY had wrongfully
used the funds of the State, the Ohio State
Journal setupon uslike atury, and declared
that we had thereby put ourself "beneath
the personal notice of any man who enter
tai1Sad deeentrespect for his own character, y
and We were denounced as a coward We
knew the ground on which we stood, and
had faith to believe that our vindication
would come, along some of these days. II
has come, tardily, to be sure, and nc is CON-
plete. Now letthe people elect the Demo
cratic State Ticket and majority Of Demo
Gratis to the Legislature, and if there shall
not then be revelation made of the knav-
eryand dishonesty of men who have hither-
to set themselves up as paragons of honesty
andpatriotism-we will eonfesstto having
been most egregiously mistaken. GAL
LowAY said, in his speech, at the West front
of The Capitol, on Saturday night that their
party was.the honest party. Heaven save
the mark. WIN the people Of Ohio vote for
a,change, whereby the fostering rottenness
of the party in3 power can be laid tare to
the public gaze? j2Sio & d0y jfz) -
