THE coolest specimen of impudence
that has come under our observation.
is the effort now making by the Demo
craey to hold the Republicans respon-
sible for RANDALI's NAL administra-
ton of the Post-Ofice Department.
It is iutimated that the accounts have
not been balanced since the 31st of
December, and THAI a fearful defcien-
cy will be exposed when they are
again balanced. A Washington Cop
perhead, in view Of such a contingen-
cy, gravely says, whea the facts and
figures come before the people, the
dominant party will not receive much
credit on the score Of economy 1t
is well known that Postmaster RAN
DALI. after he had J~ohnsonized,
made a most merciIess prescription,
and cut off the head Of every Repub-
lican who would not sell out fol- the
sake of keeping his Office. 1t i rot
surprising that such a sweeping
change of deputies should materially
damage the business of the Office, or
that men who retained their positions
at the sacrifice of their independence
should prove net the most reliable
men for their positions. But to say
that the Republicans are IN anywise
responsible for such miserable work,
is to assert a falsehood not containing
enough truth to make il ~daarerons.

G%oyernor BAKER on state Finances.

GOEeT nor E1AUE On Db@@O
We ask attention TO the extract
which We publish from Governor
BAKERS speech at Lebanon last
week, relating to the State Finances.
1t is a. question in which every eiti-
zen has g pecuniary interest. In the
gubernatorial and legislative cam
psign it is a very pertinent subjact Of
inquiry to examine into the finances
of the State, and contrast the admin
~igtration Of the Democfats aud the
Republicans, especially relating to
the. expenditure of the peoples
money and tie management Of the
State debt. IF the statements made
by Governor BAKER ia reference to
Democratic administratton3and DEM
ocratic financial officers are facts. the
citizens of Indiana wilE hesitate long
before they return such men to
power. If the figures given by Gov.
BAKER are true, and if the Republi-
can party has so rapidly reduced the.
public debt without materially in
creasiDg tie burdens Of taxation, he
may we'll claim that it is better to
retain that party IN control Of affairs,
so that the good work may 90
on to a final dis .harge Of our
Indebtedness. These are facts
which the people will take hold
of readily, and we advise the Democ-
racy to meet and disproye them if
possible. We would be glad to see
some Democratic newspaper or speak
er contrast the management Of State
finances and the Public Debt under
the administration Of the two parties
in Indiana. We would be pleased to
see them undertake a comparison Of
the management Of the School funds
and the condition and progress of our
Common Schools under Democratic
aud Republican administration. We
are curious to know what kind of a
case they would make out.
But these financial aud tax matters
are subjects which the Democratic
papers and speakers have very little
time to discuss 10 detail. They cry

relating to State finances, or a contrast
