Wherever it has been in power there has the debt boon increased, taxation raised, and corruption and licentiousness prevailed. It is not alone in Now Yorlr city that the parSr is guilty of these practices, but wherever it is entrusted with power. The journals that belong, to the rotten organization attempt to offset the dam aging-exposures of their guilt by counter charges of pecidations against Republi can officeholders. These in every in stance have been exaggerated or entirely fabricated. Where there have - been de falcations they are always individual there is no ring' within the Republican party—and in every case where the guilty party could be reached he has been punished and compelled to disgorge his plunder. Below we give some of the recent and well illustra tions of Democratic financial misman agement : - Q. W. LEIDIGH TWO . YEARS AND VIALS' DV DEMOCRATIC SWAY.

According to the official report of the defendant, Richard B. Connolly, Con troller of the city and county of New York, for the year ending Diirty-firk, of December, 1868, thefunded and bonded debt of the city on the date upon which the defendant, Hall, entered upon his du ties as Mayor amounted to. $34, 746, 030 00 And tholunded and bond- ed debt of the county, as evidenced by the same official report, amounted Making together a total of ;V50,628,830 80 The last official report of said Con troller was made _up_to_ll4.o_tivi-rty-fir-s day of July, 1871, and by this report it is shown that upon thu date the funded and bonded debt of said city amounted to $77,914,108.-51 And the funded and bond ed debt of said county amounted to Making togetlior a total Front this deduct the amount of the debt of said city and county when the defendant, Hall, became Mayor, as shown above, $50,628,830.80.. The difference is the increase iu the funded and bonded debt of the city and county •during the two and a half years of the present Mayoralty, $02,028,- 427.71. In addition to this sum of $63,008,- 427.71, raised upon the bonds of the said city and county, the Supervisors of 'the county, in accordance with the pro visions of the statutes enacted in that behalf (Laws of 1869, chaps. 875 and 876, and laws of 1870, chaps. 382 and 882), levied and raised during each of the years 1860 And 1870, by tax upon the estates by law subject to taxation within said county, for the support of thmcity and county governments, and to pay the quota of said county of State taxes for each of said years, as folloWS : In 18G9 In 1870 Mriking' a total of There has Also boon paid itdo the treasury of the city and county, during the years 1800 and 1870, and the first six months of 1871, on account of ,, assessments collected during said years, as the plaintiff is inform edand believes And from the general fund I= AUCTIONEER Total To this add the inereaS'e of the funded and bonded debt, as above. 63,028,427 7' And add further the float ing debt and claims made against the city and county, unpaid at this data, which to gothor, as the phlintiff is informed and• be Neves, exceed Total showing tho average expondituro and, cost. t the government of the city and county during 'the two-and-a-half years' of the defendant, Hall's Mayoralty to have boon per year $50,087,648.08, or Upward of five and one-half per: cent upon the fixed . valuation of the estato4 - real and•Rersonal, subject to taxation in the said county, the fixed valuation' of said estates being, according to the re port of the Commissioners of Taxes and Assessinonts, for the proSent,year (1871), $1,078,060,000.

In two years and seven months tho public debt of the city and county of New York was, by Democratic extrava gance, increased $63,028,427.71. Third. In two years and ono Month, by the Republican policy, the annual 'outlay fer interest was' reduced $12,062,- 008.06. . Fourth. hi two years and seven months, by the Democratic policy, the annual outlay for interest in it single city was increased more than $4,400,000. Fifth.

KENTUCKY MOBIL lIEAUTIES OP DEPSOCBATIC PINAN- MEM If, as the Democrats allege, the New York frauds are stale, we can refer them to Kentucky, a State as overwhelmingly Democratic as New York city. There the party has had complete possession for years, and it alone is responsible fin' the management of tho finances, Gen. Harlan, who was the Republican candi date for Governor in the recent canvass, in one. of his speeches. referred 'do the subject in the following language : • " ' The Republican party chargo the Democratic party with squandering the public Money of the State of Kentucky.

The case of the new Hospital at the almshouse, which was built in the most. expensive, manner, affording t• Feat profits to all concerned, and costing Moro than twice , the esti mated- Amu, is another proof of our assertion. It. is not wonderful, there fore, that ex-Senator Kinsey felt it his duty to call for a legal investigation and report upon the expenditures of the commissioners. Neither is it wonderful that the commissioners and their friends resisted the bill to the utmost, and pre vailed upon Senator Knight to stranglo it for the sake of the party. They knew too well the character of the ,develop ments that would be made. That oppor tunity of securing justice for the tax payer's of the county.is now .past.

There is nothing new in the statement thus given, and it was probably only attempted because the party interests required that, something should be dune. The main point:lids not yet been touched.

From 1850 until 1860 the Democrats held almost unbroken control of Penn sylvania, while from 1860 until 1870 the Republicans held power: A. comparison of these periods wfitenablo us to put a proper estimate upon the way ill' Which each party used its power. They furnish practical examples, and show us 00 pre cis° worth of any professions looking to economy and retrenchment. Tho State debt in 1850 was forty millions, in 1860 thirty-eight millions, and not until the Democratic 'power was threatened in 1857 was there any reduction. In that year the public works were sold, and in the three follYehg years tlre — Rupttbl cans steadily gained until they obtained complete control. During Most' of tho first ten years, the Democrats had—the benefit of all taxes derived from real and personal estate, and the tonnage tax, averaging $120,000 per year, from the Pennsylvania Railroad. The revanne from these sources amounted to a mil lion and a half annually. In 1861,.when the Republicans had full possession, they had to arm the troops from rCivar loan of three and a ‘ half millions ; in that year the tonnage tax was repealed, and 411865 the tax on reallestate. And yet Repub lican administrations, despite all these disadvantages, steadily reduced the State debt until in July, 1871, wo find it but twenty-nine and a- half millions. In ton years, with all the old taxes, the Demo crats reduced the State debt less than three millions ; in ten years, with taxes reduced and abolished, tho' Republicans reduced the debt nearly twelve millions, 34,063,355 63 41,57G,365 to 880,430,3 0 0 25,775,580 CO :11;261,400 Ofo 16,1353,529 01 18,1551,•246 74 THE TWO DECADES.
