Such a sentiment c-oiild not oxi-t on

nc- in this cun vans to test its truth.
We broadly charge, that in every
element of good government, in every
c-si iitial feature necessary to the pro
tection of ihe rights of the people, the
odiiiiiiiMMition of John V. (ieary has
been a failure. He is tint Executive

ends ohiaitied aro equally chargeable
to his account, and he is justly reepon
sihle for tho misdeeds ol his stilsuditt
ales aud of thoi-o whoso policy was
moulded at bis dictation.
IU is respnnnible, that the expenses
of the Siulo governnieiit ate larger
now than during the war, and are
increasing; that the Treasury of the
Slate is munaged in tho interests of a
corrupt ring, and tho money of the
people used to fu-tuit new burdens
upon them ; that unblushing eorrtip

debt, and yet the debt now is cnly
about four millions loss than it wus in
ISOl), and this calculation excludes the
loans for military purposes, and to ro
deem the overdue loan. Where have
these millions gone, und why is the
Slate debt still so largo ? The mi
managemcnl of the fintincos of the
State, was never so great as within the
last three years, the pay ment of largely
increased salaries, the employment of
pasters and folders and other useless
officials, the increase in tbe amount of
interest, and the necessities of ih..
Treasury ring, have combined to in
crease oar expenses to so great an ex
tent as to divert these large revenues!
from their proper destination and!
thereforo the debt still exists.
Strenuous eflorts were made at ihe
clu-o ol the lust session of the h gislu
turo to have the surplus in tho Treas
ury applied toward tho payment of
the doot maturing, and a section was
placed in the appropriation bill hy the
united vote ol all the democrats and
a part of the republicans, ordering the
anticipation of the payment of about
sotoou thereof oat of th.. surplus
then in the Treasury. This would
have saved the Klule 65o,ooU. The
biil was then sent to the commilteo of
conference, and they struck this sec
tion out ut the command of the treas
ury ring. When the bill camo up in
the Seiiato, on final passage, in this

House. Seven republicans Voted with
tho democrats and defeated the bill
and atbi ined thu wisdom of the amend

of those republicans changed front und
voted with their bruthtcn to reconsid

vote of 17 to 10, two republican vo

bill, and one democrat voting with the
republicans for the bill. Hy thi vote
the State lost at least 850.000. and the

doing so he declares, "I cordially ap
