The gross frauds practiced at the Freeport

agement and disregard of the public interests
which are now displayed by the 'Canal Board
and their ntlicers ot - the lines of State improve=
meats. It is difficidt to get at " the secrets of
that prison house," locked up as they are in
the bosoms of members of the same party who
have a -common interest in preventing them
from coming to the - public - eye.. '%w and then,
however, either in the fight of factious or in
sonic unguarded moment, the truth is discov
ered, and one of the nests of fraud and cor
ruption exposed to the generalgaze. The Ly

cat out of the bag," in-the following paragraph,
which we extract from its columns, being an
extract of a very long article containing also
oilier revelations, and which exposes the par
ticular kind of dodge by which the State is
made to suffer on the West Branch Canal for
'the profit and - befretirof the priffiii/ic - Democrats
in that section of country. Bead and perpend:
"The Stele requires from 5000 to GOOOton;
of soft coal which hus licritofore been furnishud
from the mines at Queen's Run and

inviting proposals to furnish this amount of
coal at the lowest figure, the contracts are giren

That is a very neat device fir silencing the
grumblers in Lycoming county. Ncilfody suf
fers but the i ßtate and the Tax-payers; but
what difference does that make so long its the
partpis held together, by "the cohesive pow

WIII. BIGLER the Locofoco candidate for Gov

that the whole scheme originated with himself;
nt another place, he tried to prove that it was
a very small alfair, and in his speech at Pitts

baseness to utter a barefaced falsehood, and
say that, untfer trio operations of the present

When the Sinking Fund was first suggested
by Uovernav Johnston, it met with viblent op
position from the Locofoco party. Theirpress
es opposed it, and sought to prevent its pas
sage by all the means in their, power. In this
Akey_wermunsueeessful—ltlvas,mlopted, it is
now in existence; IT IS GRADUALLY PAY-
ING THE STATE DEBT! The summer after
the Sinking Fund net was passed, the Key
stone and Democratic Union .b'oth denounced
it with great bitterness. %Ve cjuoted their lan
guage in our paper of last week. They said
thq Sinking Fund was a "IIUMBUO;" that
it was " ABSURD'AND INJURIOUS;" that
it wee " UNWISE AND. UNREASONABLE.;"
that it was "TRIFLING AND IMPOLITIC,"
and that it was "DEGRADING THE quit-.
ACTER OF TFIE COMMONWEALTH.' -La
eofeco orators denounce it with equal bitter
ness, and mill it a " CONTEMPTIBLE" scheme
to pay the debt! It is thus that Locofocos
forinerly talked on the subject, and •'.t.lts that
the dish idlest of their party now talk. They
opposed it in its inception. As a party, they
now hate it, because they cannot justly claim
the credit of Its adoption.
The State Treas•u•er, a sworn officer of the
Commonwealth, and a high-minded member of
the opposition, dayS that the,Fitiking Fund of
Gov. Johnston, if continued in force, will UL
TIMATELY RELIEVE THE PEOPLE from
the taxes now necessarily imposed upon them!

No:. the wheat crop was :clover 'bettor : .
Why then - does it bring a low price ; co tlif}t
there is no profit in selling ? •
' One reason is that money is scarce in the
great cities, especially in Now Yorks and need ,

What makes this scarcity of money?.
• The necessity of sending. all, the gold wo ob,

But why is it sent abroad?
To pay for the immense importation of foi

near us? The workmen must cat in Europa,

By such an alteration of the policy of our
government as will proieet our own industry,
relieve it from the pressure of foreign compe.

But will not this policy make manufaCtured
goods dearer?
Yes: nominally, for a while. Butnot rela
tively. The operatives will, Ile they multiply
and are encouraged, be,come consumers instead
of producers, raising the price of provisions
and bringing actually more profit to the farm
er. Not merely the operatives alone will cre
ate a demand far provisions, but all of the ra n
ried population that belong to a manufacturing
village and are called'into life by its prosperi
ty, will add to this .demand, and produce a
ready, nctivo market. The slightly higlfev
price of the manufactured article, made thus
higher to prevent foreign competition, will be'
compensated to all
,classes, by the increased
impulse given eo evels , description of business,
HO that though prices actually rule a little
higher, there is an increased facility to Meet

..-11'hy is this policy pursued then 2
legi•-
lationuf our country is opposed to the protec

tb the influence of long entertained party
prejudices by those who dislike to •relinquish
a favorite tenet, partly to the long established
habits of seme,`:itates . who,have never manu
factured but raised the raw material, and who
dislike a change, but more from the false idea
entertained.that our shipping interests might

This is a kind of, Whig document the 'People

airier had anythinglike it under a Loinifabe

their only proclamations were, ,anuotineements
that the State was every year, being plunged
deeper and deeper into debt, and that it would

These five million of dollars, thus kept out
of the pockets of the hard-werking mechanics
of the United States, would purchase a . vyt
many comforts. It would enable those thus
virtually robbed, not only to feed and , (froth()
their families comfortably, but to educate their
children; nod to provide for themselves a home
- ha their olditge.
But Loco-focoism is regardless of the inte
rests of the working men of the country. To
carry out a ruinous- party- dootrine, they are
willing that our mechanics and artisans should
suffer. Yet they profess the most profound
friendship for then, (ilia denounce the Whig
party, which advocates Erotectiorr to Home La
bur, ns their enemies!
If-we should tako•up the statistics of other,
teptirtments of mnitufactures„almost equally
'injuriously affected bythe anti-American poli

more startling. TWENTY MILLIONS

OM Shenk paid $O,OBO in four years! This
Money went through the hands of somesubor

Who kept it? WhSr (lid he not payit ever, to
- the - State -- Treasury ?-- WhatZthief-was-about
the-Capitol robbing the Treasury and the Peo

Locofoco Plunder, Bankruptcy and Debt Let

NOIV AND THEN 1
T. IL Snowden in his letter says that in 1842
"our financial difficulties were such that al
though a loan was authorized to pny the inte
rest In August, 1842, there zeere :no bidders for
the loan and the interest in consequence was not
paid." This was in 1812, when the Locofocos
had all branches of government in their hands.
In 1850, under a Whig Governor, the State
credit is firm, the interest is promptly paid
and in par funds, the State can borrow money
dt a premium, and the State Debt is . being
gradually le4'46alill: Look on these two pie
tms, and say do you wish to o'so 'power to
the party who brought-our State so -low that
.for'several years she could not pay the interest
on the dlib4 - utid - oulti not-even - borrow - money'
when she wished? or to the Whig party who ,
rescued the State from her difficulties, placed
her credit_upoil ' firm-,foundation and have
commenced TO PAY OFF THE'DEDT. •
WHY Tall LOCOFOCOS DID NOT PAY

In 1845, at least' one thousand Justices of

• ..These: faCts,were stronger than arguments,
and *Ted that neyer befpre had we so good
a Governor as Johnston. (Cheers.)
He knew Willianl Bigler: He litid eat for six
years in the Sonate•Chambot with him—he be
lieved. that he was an honest, clever man, but .
he told them FROM HIS KNOWLEDGE OF
HIM: that lio was not the man Johnston was.
HE WANTED'JOHNSTON'S COURAGE AND
FIRMNESS,4hat firmness which should make
him resist demano's.on the public treasury. He
could illustrate this hyn number of anecdotes;
but could bring nothing stronger than facts to
prlove his assertions. A bill was. introduced
into the Seuateowlien Mr. Biglerbelonged te it,
now well known as the " General „Manufactu
ring Law"—a law by which our mechanics
could associate themselves together, and be
come manufactUrers. Mr. Bigler would riot
vote for it,- but asked it to be postponed, until
he-went-up-the Susquehanna-,- - and-attended to
his rafts. This was the character of the man :
—HE ALWAYS WISHED TO AVOID RE
SPONSIBILITIES:"

We have examined the .TournaiS during the
six yohrs that limit Bigler Was in the, Pert-_

member of that-body dodged as many votes as Mr. -
13z:yler. On bank questions we have exposed
several of his dodges. On other questions we
could readily do it.' lie - wanted courage and
firmness- -that courage and ftrniness'Whichare
the prime, elements of the true man: An indi

he to be veered about by *hostile influences—
one so certain. to be, if elected, under the con
-trot of others, is.not.the..tutm to fill the chair
o to c a This period, when the State is just
emerging from her difficulties. A slight in
diuretion now may unclo all the good that lids
been done. lb° people take a man-aliam

wanting, for ono who has not been tried and
whose previous history 'slows that he lacks

term nor condition of absolution. He might
have plunclei•ed the' Treasury—neglected the
State interest—increased the State Debt And
beggared the Commonwealth. These would
leave been venial offences. But he has dared
to do more. Ile has paid the interest on
State Debt—raised its credit from 67ets. on
the dollar, whore lie fOiid it, to par,', and ac
tually committed the outrage on their hopes of
paying off a large slice of the principal. Be

the interest, he hue paid 635,000 and odd.dol-,

knocked off $32,000 of the annual interest of
