THURSDAY KVENINO, Beptkmbkk U, IBjS. Tlia Issue before llio Valors nf OMo. Tlie llniiiillon county resolutions have boon placed before llio people of Oliio through the Journal, tint all doubt might bo removed, as to the nature of tho ponding contest on tho Currency question. Tho Statesman has beon playing a double gamo, and attempting to bowilder its readers in a maze of words designed to obscuro rather than to elucidate tlio actual views of tho editor, and of tho party in Ohio. That ho bad concluded to abandon tho contest with the leaders of the hards, and yield tho questions in dispute, wo wero convinced and so staled moro than a week since. Although lie has not gathered courage to place tho Hamilton resolutions before his readers, ho has not vonturcd to utter a word against their radical and destructive doctrines. Tho eanili-dates nominated by the Hamilton Convention, ho has endorsed, knowing that their sontimcnts are in accordance with the resolutions. Thus wo see the gama that is to bo played. White ho flatters tho softs with tho belief that ho is with them and endorses their candidates, ho commends with equal readiness the hardest of the hard nominations. How much claim to independence or principle a man can have who thus acts, wo leuvo those interested to decide.The Fairfield resolutions, a portion of them, have also been placed before our readers, that there might bo no rouui for the charge that we are misrepresenting llio designs and views of our opponents. They correspond in spirit with thnso adopted in Hamilton; and although they too have failed to find a place in tho Statesman, wo havo yet to see tho first word against them in that paper. We havo now before us tho resolutions of a loco-foco Convention held in Henry county, which we find in the Kaliila Venture. They arc atrocious in sentiment, and indicato as do all tho signs of tho times that this is tho death-struggle of that faction ut the head of which has stood for ytars, such men as Jll'tn, Tappaa, Hartley, McXulty and lii'iigrm. Forced by the honest and fearless action of tho lute Legislature to throw of all disguise, thoy now launch out inlo tho final contest determined tu try llio virtue ol a bold move. If, by any fortuitous circumstances, tho remissness of their opponents or sny other canso, they succeed, the coast is clear for them and they can do their worst without exposing themselves to the charge of having triumphed on a fulso issuo. Hence wo are determined that they shall apeak for themselves through our columns, and that all men of all parties shall realize, if possible, oil that is st stake. It seems almost incredible that there should be even a shade of doubt as to tho result of the coming election, Willi such an issue; yet our op- ioncnis aro determined to inako a mighty effort to accomplish their ami', anil it is only by correspond ing exertions that we can secure such a triumph as will once nncl forever put at rest the ruinous war on tho Currency of tho Hluto that has been productive of so much evil from first to last, to tho best interests of all ; mora especially llio laboring and funning classes of this great Stato. Hear Ihc hards of Henry county: Itnsolrrd, That our opposition to bank domination, under all its phases, ami pretended "reforms'," "limitations'' anil 'safeguards," shall nevur cease until every uiterer of bills of credit for circulation as money, is placed under tho samo legal disabilities with tho uiterer of counterfeit coin, or any other public robber. Hesohed, That tho Independent Treasury is the great Ark of our financial salcty, lor tlio collection, Hale-keoniny and disbursement of tho public funds, and that the "signs of tho time" arc fraught with warning of tho dangers which encompass our gov ernment and people, unless tlio law is spc"unyre-tMiucted.

A great Convention was held in tho Representative District c posed of Putnam, Williams, Henry, Defianco and 1'aulding counties, on tho V!7lli ult., for llio nomination of a candidate for the House.

Ks.U'P, a man who lias declared himself in favor of making tho issue of paper money a I'cnilentiaij offmee, was nominated for Representative, by tho wiro-workcrs present, and after that the following resolutions, among oth ers, wero adopted : llisolred. That tho democracy of this legislative district pronounce once moro their settled and undy ing hostility to every species ul tiaukiiig, lur me e mission of a naner monev medium of circulation, believing as they do, that every system for the o nis-ion of such a currency is at war with the funda mental principles of our government destructive to tho morals uf tlio people delusive, fulso, and lie II 10.

That Iho lime has fully arrived tho democratic, parly of Ohio, if it would bo in the ascendant, must in a body army ilsell, aiiaoiutciy and without reservo, on llie side of the Constitution and its currency ; and nevur rest satisfied until the precious metals occupy every channel and avenuoof circulation. Ittsolved, That tho first duly of tho Ohio democ racy, is to wipe from tho stalutc book that munstcr of iniquity and falsehood, entitled "An Act to In-cormralc the State Rank of Ohio, and other Hanking Institutions," and to ahato tho nuisances thut have grown up under it Theso resolutions need no commontary, aavo that to bo furnished at tho ballot-box. The day has gone by when it is necossary to advanco a serious argil ment against that most miscrabloafall humbugs, tho " metallic humbug!" Exploded ovcrywhere anil indignantly spurned by all who can claim even the smallest modicum of cotninonscuso, coupled with common honesty ; ill author lleuton has for yours aluiusl ceased to vonluro a word on tho subject, lest ho should remind those around him, that he once an vaiinlingly claimed tho honor of having "set that hsll in motion." Experience lias doiio its work in n wakening tho people of Ohio to a senso of llie shiil lowncs uf this humbug, and the wickedness of tho demagogues who urgo it Olio or two yosrs' oxh rience has satisfied tho peoplo of .Missouri and Illinois, and Ihey are beginning to manifest their rcs-tiveness under the galling yoke.

The last Statesman contains a letter from Mr, Spencer which reads as follows: To the Editor Ohio Statesman : During my absence from this city, the editor of tho Ohio Stale Journal has seen proper to arraign my conduct as a u ember of the Into Hoard uf Public Works, and to brand Mr. Ransom and mvself, by base insinuations, ss defaulters. In all its parts, this charge, or insinuation is untrue. I um not now, and never have at any moment been a defaulter tu llio Stato. And now, as ever, am I ready to render an account uf my stewardship, and account for all money which has come into my hands, as Boon as tho travelling member of llio Hoard of Fund Commissioners is ready to mrtko tho settlement with mo. What renders the charge of defalcation against tho late Hoard the mora unfair, is tho fact, that Mr. Ransom and myself havo frequently visited Columbus to procure a settlement with tho acting Commissioner of tho Fund Hoard, and have as often been disappointed. This fact must have been known to the Journul scribbler, and if so, it at once pluces him in the lowest runk of slanderers. Respectfully yours, Columbus, Sept. !), 1H45. WM. SPENCER. As to Mr. Spencer's allusion to us, we puss that by with silent contempt, as coming from a sourco unworthy of notice We have to do with Mr. Spencer as a public officer, and in that capacily aluno. Mr. Spencer denies that he is a defaulter this will depond upon what ho means by that term; lie may not bo so in his own opinion, but ho is not to bo judgo in this matter. Tho facts in tho caso sro to decido that que.tlon. Mr. Spencer does not deity that he Aril public mom? in his hands lehich he has no right to hold j he only says Ihat he is ready to account for II moneys which havo come into Ins hands. To ac count for tho money might bo en ensy matter ; but when this accounting bus been had, will it not snots bidanct in hit Amid? Thai is tho question. Has Mr. Spencer money in his hands which has not been applied to the public service ? Now for the facts : The members of tho Board of Public Works litivo nder the law rendered (heir nccounts twice overy year, on the l.'iih of May and the 15th of November, n theso accounts they nrc required to render a state ment of all payments made during the previous six months, and produco tho proper vouchers therefor. rheso accounts aro first examined by the Hoard of 'ublic Works, and recorded in their office. Tho cling member must then deliver them tu tho Audi tor of Slate, and, if ho finds thoni correct, tho Au- iter is required to havo them recorded ; and the originals with the vouchers are to remain on filo in is olhce. In complianco with tlio law, the members of tho late Hoard have regularly rendered their ac counts up to tho 15th of last Novcmbor and they havo been passed and recorded. In their accounts aro found tho payments at that time claimed by them to have been made. Messrs. Spencer and Ransom continued in ollico up to tho 1st day of last April, and were then required to render an account of their doings from the 1.1th of November 14 1 to that dato April I, It3 15,) in order to close their accounts. Mr. Ransom has rendered an account, which has been recorded in the books of llio Board of Public Works, without however, any action on tho part of said Hoard, anil by a clerk employed by himself. 1 Ins account has never been passed upon by tho Hoard, has never been presented to 'lie Auditor, and liad no vouchors attached to it tho Inst time wo ex ain.ned it. And yet in slating his account, the Hoard of Commissioners, examining the same, havo given him credit for tho amount of this account, huwever nformal it may be, and, alter deducting this sum nfid every other sum, which Mr. Ransom's accounts show ho has paid, tho balance wo havo before mentioned stands ngainst him; and what in more, the account! show that this turn has Itcen in his hamhfor more than sixyrars, Mr. Spencer had better take care of him self bef ire bo vuluutccrs to defend Mr. Ransom about a matter of which ho is entirely ignuranL Nay, more, wo learn that a copy of Mr. Ransom's account, ns made out by tho Commissioners, was handed to him as early as llio V.lth of June; and no response has been heard from Mr. Ransom since. So much for Mr. Ransom. Now for Mr. Spencer. Ho too lias rendered his accounts up to the loth of Novoml-er lust; has claim ed credit for all payments, ho could produce vouchers for up to that dale. In stating his account, Mr. Spencer bos been charged w ith no moneys but what his own checks show him lo havo drawn, nnd ho is credited with all payments claimed by him to havo been mado up to the 15th of last Nov., when he rendered his regular scini-onnual account. This is Mr. Spencer's last regular account; the lust that he has filed in tho ollico of Iho Auditor of Slate. The amount of money in his bands on the 15th of Nov. last, according lo his own showing was JV',1111) tri. Since that time Mr. Hpcnccr has drawn from the State I reasury Iho sum uf .li,:l7;l 7(1, which makes the sum in his hands amount to $H!rli 7rJ; for which ho has as yet rendered no account to the Auditor of Slale. .In looking inlo tho office of tho Board of ln. lie Works, wo find an account, purporting to bo the account of Wm. Sencer nn tho various works under his charge up to tho 1st day of April last, when h s term of service expired. Tho credits claimed in this account amount in tho sum of iui,.'i7 Ph. and, if we givo him credit for this whole sum, and deduct it from the .-i,lNi 7H, there slill remains tlio sum of ijc.VIU 5! in Iho hands of Wm. Spencer, which ho iloos not pretend thai ho has applied to the public service. vv hat right has Mr. Spencer lo retain this sum in his hands? Why does ho neglect to closo his accounts with tho present Hoard and with tho Auditor, as tho law requires? Why docs ho neglect to pay this sum over? Hut wo havo not yet dnno with Mr. Spencer. Wo have looked into some of the items of this informal account; and wo cannot believe that any officer of tho Stato will uvor allow tliem. Wo gavo two of those items somo week or two since; tho receipts of Mr r. Ii. llirnoy; with whoso doings our readers aro somewhat acqusinted. The dam account exhibits him in bis geiiuino character. These two receipts, amounting lo tho sum of $:f.leVII, bear dato prior to tho l.'iih of last Nov. to wii: on tho 8 1 and :ld days of last September. Why then did not Mr. Sjicnccr return these two payments with bis Inst Nov. accounts? If these sums wero paid when tho receipts bear dale, llio law required him In incliido them in lus November account! Why was not this done? Will Mr. Spencer answer us that? The items themselves aro wholy inadmissible. What right had K. (1. Barney to sell chocks at a discount, or to borrow money for tho uso of Iho State ? Wo have reached a pretty pusa if our engineers can turn in and borrow money at whatever rule of inter est or discount they think proper, and mako tho Slalo pay the amount! There is also another item that needs explanation, John W. Erwin was paid on 'J7th of March 1HI5, r?'J 111,00 for services as engineer on the Sydney Feed-or from 1st Apiil H I to I ."nil of April ltl5, at tiO per month. This Mr. Erwin is also paid his salary of f'ss'i.OO as Resident Engineor on the Mia in Ca nal, as wo judge from a ro-.eipt of his for 41 months salary, at that rato per year. Tho law limits tho salary of Resident Engineers, to guiisi. Was this anctfort to get around the law ? Tho Sydney Feeder is a part of tho Miami Extension Canal, and Mr. S. Medbury was llio Resident Engineer on that work. Wo would like lo hear from Mr. Spencer soma explanation ol this item. Mr. Spencor lias also been very liberal towards himself. Ho credits himself mil Ii $ I.'15,00 fur 15 days services from April 1st, If 13 to May 15, 1 HIS for K'fina; up ncrtiuni. Now tho law allows a member of the Hoard but $'2,00 por day, when in tho sorvico of the Stato. Mr. Siencer charges J I por day for doing what the law requires him to do without additional compensation, vis: lo render hit nrrminfl iii to the close of his lirm of iiJinf. This ia not all. Mr. Spencer also credits himself with $151,00 paid for clerk hire and expenses in settling tip mrounfs after the l.'iih of April. And yet moro with the further sum of(lli!4,70, for clerk hire, post age paid, expenses incurred &lc. in settling accounts &c, closing up business to April 1st, 1H45. Here then, Mr. Spencer has credited himself with the pretty sum of 4110,70 for settling up his accounts; a matter, which by law he wu bound to do on the expiration of his ollico. He know too, tor somo time, that his offico was to cxpi o on. llie 15th day of last April; and yet, instead of preparing himself to ad just all nutters on that day, ho postpones it until his term of office, expired, and thon modestly asks tho present Hoard to sllow him 1 110,75 for doing what by law he should have had dono on the l.itli duv of April. There aro some other items in this informal ac count that look very suspicious; but we will pas them ovor fur llie prcBcnl. There is, howevor, ono oilier matter which we cannot pass ovor. Tho account as stated is more favor able than it can ultimately bo. Many of these pay ments, for which Mr. Spencer claims a credit, have hecn made by drawing checks upon the Stato Trea surer, which checks aro, ns wo learn, slill outstand ing. What tho amount of those outstanding checks may bo no one but Wm. Sponcer knows, llo must in Iho end, therefore, bo charged with these, or dis allowed for the credits hcclsiins on account of these payments. Muny of theso checks too, wo huvo rea son to believe, havo been drawn by Mr, Spencer without any legal aulhoiiiy, sinco the expiration ol his tonn of ollico, and antedated so as to make them apiear to have Doon drawn while bo was in office. If Mr. Spencer has beon thus drawing checks, after the expiration of his office, it is amatturto be looked into; and tho holders of such checks had belter look to it also. Wo havo now dono with Mr. Spencer for the present We huvo mode good our churgo. Mr. Spencer has not less than '.'( I! .."! I uf public money, by his own showing, in his hands, which ho docs not protend to huvo paid out for tho public use. He had .,,,lil!lW in his hands on tho 15th of last November; On tho 15lh of November, 1H K1, he had in his hands $1,4!IH.IH, after deducting all payments reported and claimed by him. It is, therefore, no now thing Willi Mr. Spencer, this, of having a balance in his hands; it is a matter uf long standing, commencing very soon after his appointment. If, however, wo deduct the illegal credits which ho cl lims, llie default will bo swelled tu the sum of 1,5! 18.73; to which must bo added tho amount of the outstanding checks. How much of this sum of r?li,.'t7.l'J may have been paid by checks, which aro still outstanding, no ono but Mr. Spencor can tell. Ho, and no one elso, is able at present to fix llio prociso magnitude of his default, as i understand that term. When Mi Siencer shall have falsified his own accounts so as lo show a different result, wo shall bo ready to pay our respects to him again. From llietlliio HlntesTnaa. The nianufactiireis were very loud in their decln-ralions ihat ruin would result lo them, and of cour e lo the country, if tlio Tcnnesscan should triumph over tho Konttickinn. Doleful, indeed, were their predictions. I lud you believed them, vou might have seen far enough into futurity to have beheld Abbott Jiwrcnco commencing llio anew Willi a pair ol brushes and a boitlo of the real Warren ; Nathan Apiilelon applvinirin the trustees of sonic churiloblc fund fur the amount of capital requisite fora gentleman about engaging in the wiiod-sawing profession; no miinciuus oilier worthies ol tlio same patriotic and di interested class, carelullv nulling nway a small portion of the best New Voik salt, In be used for seasoning such stray potatoes ns might be iriven to them fur sweet cimiitv'ssake. The future was a woful sight indeed to ono cluss being nothing less than tho spectacle uf a whole class of 'gentle' people actually necessitated lo engage in liselul occupa tions, to Ihc manifest discomlorl of llie 'upier classes,' tun uie destruction ot llio organs ol reverence nn too leads of thoso whom thu whirrs call tho 'common people.' This brief uxtrsct from the Statesman of last even ing, is from an article of considerable length, tho do- sign of which was tu produce nn impression that die anular.liirerH huvo prospered noiri'isriuiltiis; the election of Mr. Polk; and that in proportion ns they ivo prospered tlio laboring classes of the country havo been depressed. Of just such stufl as this paragraph was ihe whole article made; and jusloflhis churaclcr are alt the editorials of the Statesman, ui- ler its new editor. There is not in tho whole arti cle a single apjical to the belter judgment, a single argument addressed tu Iho understanding of those who make up tho strength of the opposition. Instead d seeking to make men wiser or belter and to make society happier or more peaceful, bis whole aim scorns to bo to stir up the baser passions, to array one class against another, and to awakonjcu!nusies,hcarl' burnings and strife. This seems to bo the peculiar aim, llie special mission of ono who has come in the midst of the people of Ohio lo teach them what ' Mas sachusetts democracy " is. In view of such cxhilii-lions wo cannot be surprised at llio ill success that attended his Inborn in Massnchusclls, nor can it be a matter of surprise that such " democracy " should cause that State to roll up a majority of more than firmly mriiMrnin ngainst Mr. Polk, in llie Into contest, and givo all the Congressmen to tho Whigs. He is at liberty to believe it or not, but we can tell tlio editor of the Statesman (and we speak not as a paitizan, for there are considerations of a higher nnluro that wo desire to bo guided by generally,) that his mis sion is a bsso and dishonorable ono, and that ho has mistaken, most eggregiotisly tho character and feel ings, and underrated Iho intelligence of the people of Ohio, of all parties, if ho supposes that any consul orable portion of thum sympathize with him in his agrarian views. In his classical researches, of which he makes so much display, ho may havo found out that the good peoplo of ancient (ireeco wero suc cessfully indoctrinated, occasionally, by their ora tors, with the peaiilent principles and prejudices ho so eagerly inculcates. Hut, if ho did not find out that they were productive of just such billor funis as anarchy-ridden France was compelled tufenst on, at a later day, he will not bo long in discovering ihat tho people of Ohio havo read and thought to a better purpose than he aeums to havo done. Wo can tell him that the peoplo of Ohio aro nu more inclined tu listen to such teachings than wero the peoplo of Massachusetts. Kipenenco has luught them to bo a little cautious of thoso who are eternally prating of their own patriotism, democracy and luvo for Iho poor. They havo limbec n so blind as lo fail to seo what locofocoism has dune for tho country during the many years that it lias been under its iulluonce. A national debt, wido-sprcad corruption, a bankrupt treasury, a disastrous convulsion in tho business of tho country, and Stale Repudiation, wuro some oftlio beneficent results of lncofoco policy. In our own Stale a ruinous war on the currency, an increaao uf llio Slolo Debt, an increase or Taxation and tlio introduction of a wicked partisan rule and a system uf favoritism towards miserable party hacks, were a few uf tho advantages resulting from tho ascendancy of locufoco counsels for a succession of years. And now, when after having delivored themselves from these unpropitious influences, they are asked to join in a crusade against tlio 1 arm, against thoir Currency, against themselves, against Mexico for Texas and tircnt Britain fur Canada, they inquire to what purpose is all this ? hat is to bn gained? What new ami extraordinary necessity has arisen to de mand such proceedings ? Will it mako us belter, happier and wisor ? ill it strengthen Iho Republic, enlarge our privileges, lighten our burlhons, en banco our resources or elevate us higher socially, morally or politically ? They find no satisfactory answer in the omply clamors and high-sounding pro-ten ions of those who would sediico them to their ruin; and they turn awny with undisguised loathing from theso falso teachers and hypocritical pretenders. They contrast Whig practico during tho short time Ihey have had power in tho Stale and Nation, with the practice of these pretenders, and they thus learn how to apprcciato the professions of thoso who have more successfully prey on '.he earnings of the peoplo and seduce Ihotn from the counsels and policy of thoso who framed and administered the government when patriotism was measured by its sacrifices for tlio public good, instorid of tho amount of its pretensions, when merit and not partisan subserviency waa a pussKrt to distinction. In the National counsels they seo tho Whigs laboring to rcstoro to the country its nnequsllod currency, to rostoro a system of protection under which tho country had prosporcd for so many years to give to the people the proceeds of their own lands to bo used as they may direct to secure tho right of petition to prevent on extension of tho power of the only aristocracy known to the country, (that of Ihe South, which givo a Southern slaveholder a right lo exert so much more influence al the ballot-box than his honest free neighbor of tho north) and to prevent tho abuso of the "one man" power. In tho Stale Counsels, they aco tho Whigs making use of the power vested in them to equalize taxation, furnish a substitute for a wretched foreign' currency ferret out tho abuses Hint have been practiced by men selected for their partizan qualifications maintain the honor and credit of tho Stato, and put an end to llie drain on the Treasury, by a reduction of salaries and a refusal to embark in wild schemes of internal improvement. We havo allowod ourselves considerable latitude in those remarks, that wo might tako in the full scopo of what seems to be tho whole lubor of the Statesman. A vory few roui'rks in reference lo tho arti-clo fruir, which wo havo quoted, and wo leave it to its inglorious work, with an aasuranco that it will reap ils reward. Neither tho manufacturers or tho friends of the manufacturers, the friends of American labor, or the American laborers themselves, asserted tint the more elevation of Mr. Polk, or any body elso, would ruin the country. It is from the mrusnres that Mr. Polk and his friends aro so determined to establish and tho destruction of tho measures of a Whig Congress, that ruin is anticipated. Because the very fear of what is threatened has not rendered llio Treasury bankrupt, turned the tido of trade against us, and prostrated tho manufacturing interest, Iho Stales-man is inclined to claim credit fur Polk, and sneer at Whig predictions. Wait till the country gets a taste of locofoco freo trade and llio odious Sub-Treasury, and then we shall bo able to make np a verdict on the merits of tho question. Bot, tnoBt extraordinary of nil, is tho assumption against the Tariff, based on llie fact that it has onobled Abbott Lawrence, Nalhan Applcton, and such men lo raiso themselves from the humblest walks cf lifo and from poverty, to uffluonco and distinction. Where is the poor American laborer who will not join in decrying a system that holds out such inducoiicn'j to indus try, perseverance and enterprise? ies, the Tariff, the black Tariff, has given wealth anJ honor to those who commenced in the world poor as llie poorest in our midst, and lest it may do the samo for other honest nnd indusiriuus men, it mint be repealed ! That is llio point of llio argument, if point it has. To tlio British and I rcucli monopolies would tho Statesman transfer the profits of manufacturing, and by prostrating our own manufactories, cast upon tho country to starvo or to swell the ranks of the competitors in llioalrendy uvcrstockoil produce mnr- kot, thousands who now aid in furnishing a market for tho surplus pruilucts of thu soil. This is tho friendship of the Statesman for tho laboring and tho producing classes. The tender mercies of such men would bo a withering curse lo tho laud. Tho last scntenco of the quotation is worth) of Jack Cade. Thoro is so much of olevated senti ment, pungent satire, dignified appeal and substan tial argument, we cannot consent to break its ferco or mar its beauty by a commentary. It might trnub-lo our neighbor lo say when and where too Whigs sKike of tho "common people," but poets are allowed considerable lutitudo in the use of language, and poiticiaus may fairly claim omo wo suppose.

A f-ler reading the following fulso and infamously deceptive article from tho columns of the News, they will at least admit that this foreign volunteer does not full behind its Ohio contemporaries cither in its choico of linguago or vindiciiveiiess of spirit.

That cliquo of individuals who have preyed upon the people of Oiiio seek to identify themselves with her interests, but their masks will be torn off, and the people of Ohio will know thnt to attack those who have robbed her is to servo her interests. The Ohio Journal makes a statement in relation to our expose only worthy of thoso who sell Ohio stocks at 52 cents on the dollar, and pocket the plunder. Acw York Arms. It i gratifying to find that the rebukes which havo been bestowed on the Now York News in as well as out of that cily, for its shameless attacks on the credit of Ohio; arc compelling it to a change of tono. It qualifies an unwilling endorsement of tho integrity and credit of the Slate, with somo ambiguous allusions that recoil only on the heads of its friends. Tho developments that havo already been made, as the result of the investigation into tho management of those who have ao long been pensioned on the State, show who have plundered tho Stato by their corrupt practices. All over the State can bo found those who arc rolling in the wealth acquired through jobs given tliem at enormous profits, as party favorites. The Slato Finances and Stale Improvements havo both boon under the management of locofoco incumbents, almost exclusively, for nearly soven years, during which time they have increased the Slate Debt from ?5,000,000 to nearly cJO,000,000 ! These Canals that it is said were pushed so rapidly to completion wero commenced under the auspices of locofoco Legislation. The Whigs only assented to appropriations for their completion that they might lot be worthless to the Slate, after tho expenditure f millions of dollars. By tho false estimates of loco-bco managers and financiers, locofoco legislators vere induced to engage in many works of duubtful expediency. Wit heartily agree with the News that he "people of Ohio will know that to attack thoso vho havo robbed her is to serve her interests." Tho gnoranco of the News relative to the affairs of Ohio, ir some other causo has prevented it from aiding is in this work. Instead of attacking such men it las attacked tlio State, and seeks to fasten on others ins that have been committed by its friends only. Die miserable fling at those who wero forced to sell )hio stocks at a ruinous sacrifice, in order tu pay llio lehu which locofoco profligacy had incurred, takes -ffccl on thoso alone whom it would shield. Tho Whigs of Ohio shrink from no investigation into tho icts of those to whom they havo entrusted the rcs- Kinsibilities of cilice. Tho N. York Tribune thus nanliilty rebukes its contemporary and endorses the .lonesly of Ohio: The Morning News has a habit of attacking about onco a week (he credit of the Stale of Ohio and its ability to continue to pny tho interest on its Stale debt. Indeed it appears to have a mania on this subject. What its motive may bo wo do not pretend to say, but wo hope it is belter than its arguments. Ohio, with nearly two millions of inhabitants and still on llio highway of progress, will never repudiate her debt nor shrink from tuxution to pay theinterest. Convention met aflorwards and refused to second this nomination and substituted the name of F. W. Thornhill, of Coshocton. This, it is thought, will be a grievous disappointment to Dr. P. Tho Whigs of Guernsey manifested their regard for their own characters and tlio interests of the State, by defeat- tng Mr. Lawrence last fall, and unless they think a locofoco of vory small calibre and one who seems to aim at consuming more timo in nuscrablo stump twaddlo, than all the rest of his brethren together, will bo of servicoto the formers of that section, they will do him asimilar service this year. Portaoe Cousjtt. Tho locofucoa of Portage havo nominated for Representative, NelsonEgglo-ston. Clrrmo.it. The Locofocoe of tho Clormont Senatorial district met last week and nominatm! for Senator, Col. DowTr Utter. So, Monsieur Ton-son is coming again. Well, if the Col. won't suit the hards, thoy aro hard to suit. Con. David Dial was nominated to represent Clermont in the lowor house. The military spirit seems to run high in that section. A l.ellev fram !?lr. Van slurrN. The Now York papers contain a letter from the sago of Lindcnwald, in reply to one from the loco- focos of tho 10th and 13th wards of New York Cily. It is short (a mom that can but asldombe claimed for his letters,) and is devoted mainly to annexation. Ho alludes to the well known fact that the proceedings of the late administration on the Texas question did not receivo the approbation of "portions of tho democratic party," but expresses a very decided conviction that proceedings under the present administration havo rcachnd a point, at which opposition to the measure can no longer bo acccssable. He man ages to place himself on tho Tuxna platform in a manner worthy of his reputation as a cunning politician. Ho says nothing of the mrrmsby which annexation has been accomplished, and avoids committing himself in favor of the proceedings of ils friends. Lest, however, some should be inclined to think ho was guilty of inconsistency, he takos occasion to remark, with a churming nntvttte, that he considers his present declarations " in honorable consistency " with his post course on the question. Tho reader will bo apt to inquire why auch a remark waa necessary if the fact was so palpable? A suspicion is entertained that the magician wishes to prcpsre the way for a hand in the game of 18 Ir!. Ohio Stocks TheN. Y. Newe of the 5lh inst. quotes Ohio 7 per cent stocks, nt 115 a V5j. This ia mistake, we presume; as the other N. Y. papers of llie samo date quoto Ohio O'a nt 115s. If there aro any seven per cent stocks of Ohio in market, (which is doubted) the N. Y.

It is observoblo that llie Branch Banks nre nearly all old concerns with broken or expired charters, which by sH)cial graco are allowed to resume Ihcir scheming in a new form. Tho City Bank of Clove- land has been long known as tlio r Iranian s insurance Company, but has now taken livery as a " free booting Bank." There does not appear lo bo any actual disposition to subscribo any tirtr capital, but tho opportunity is a good one to turn the assets of the old banks to good account to make the inim omi dregs uf years of speculation tho basis of renewed credit. No manor how corrupt the interior uf these concerns msy havo been, they havo only to apply tho wliiio-waali ol Iho new law to ineir lotu vaults, inscribe a new sinn over their doors, and Ihey may atund forth renovated as fresh members of Iho coin- meiciul cunimuniiy. Sixleon ol Iheseniil carcases havo already received Ihespiiit of the new law, and nro crawling forlh to prey um tho iooplo of Ohio. We enn linrdl ' conceive of any thing as aliouio-lessly falso as tlio assertions of the above article. The capital subscribed in the new banks is all "new capital."

Tho organizations of the institutions arc all new, and havo all boon made public, that all may judgo of their character, and know with whom they aro dealing.

Cleveland nnd t'alambns Ilnll stand. By reference to our advertising columns it will be seen that the amount of stock required for the organization of the company has beeu taken and that a meeting of tho share-holders is to bo held in this city on tho lllh October. Wo do not know what tho prospects are of a speedy commencement and completion of ibis work, but viewing it as wo do, of icai liiiMirtanceio tho terminating points, to tho intermediate country and to tho whole State, wo earnestly hoK it may bo promptly commenced and vig orously prosecuted. That the extent of travelling und transjmrtation upon it would be very great there can bo no doubt, and if judiciously located and sub stantially snd at the samo timo economically con structed, it seems to us it must prove very profitable stock to the owners. Howevor this may bo, that such a rood would add many tunes its cost to the value of property on its line, is 1 question about which there can be but one opinion. Kvory acre of wheat through a strip of country 'M miles in width and more than a hundred in length would bo worth an additional dollar by Iho diminished axpenso of transportation. The road hence to Cincinnsli will be dono within a year or two. Extend it to Cleveland and thereby bring Columbus wilbin eight and Cincinnati within fourteen hours of Cleveland, and both within about two days and a half of New York and Boston, and who ia bold enough to predict the extent of travelling upon it! And whatevor it might be on the completion of the road, it would go on increasing till the whole Mississippi Valley shall he fully peopled and every rood of land in its wide limits sustains ils man. That tins work can be executed we have nn doubt, if exertions commensurate with ila imporlanco bo uado, and that they will be mado we have strong confidence. Itlare Catnnliuirnla far Ihe inlasmnn.

Vermont Election. Partial returns havo been received from tho election held in this Stato last week. Sho is right side up as always. Tho scattering votes may defeat an election by the peoplo, but Sladu is away ahead nf his competitor, and the Legislature is nearly all whig, which makes all perfectly aafo. Counterfeiting, By a letter from Mr. I. B. IIalscy,nf Springfield, we loam that a man calling himself King, passed a counterfeit 10 bill on the Lafayette Bank of Cincinnati, near that place, on rucsdny. He was pursued towards Urbane, but es caped. (L7 Our friend Mr. S. P. Draer who recently retired from the West Union Intelligencer, has associated with Mr. Drouillard in the publication of the Portsmouth Clipper, a spirited whig paper. Jt roe Stoat was not quite ao ill at Inst dotes, ond hopes were entertained of hia recovery. Am ladepMradealJ W. J. Martin, Esq, of Shelby county, a democrat. and a condidato for the legislature, has issued an address to the people in which he says: There appears to bo some objections to the bonk law pnsscd at tho last annual session of the Legislature, but what the real objection is, I am at a loss to know; unless it is because tho law was passed by our political oppononta: but if this be tlio only ob jection to Ihst law, it is badly taken, and ought not to or supponee oy any good amen, it such a spirit of retaliation should be carried out by Ihe two great political panics, as or ten aa ihey gel the ascendancy, it would certainly bo introducing a precedent into the law making branch of our Government, which wouiu oc ruinous in ita consequences, if not manifestly injurious lo Ihe interest of community, and the pcrticluily of our freo institutions. However much this spirit wns indulged in by tho niombcra of Ihe legislature last winter, it ought to be discouraged by every philanthropist and lover ofhis country. I believe it would bo highly impolitic to attempt a repeal of Iho bank law at present, and believe ii ought to remain aa il is, until it ia fairly tested, and should il then prnvo to be iusullicicnt to protect the um iii'iuei, m wen ns 10 noi iuu DaiiKera lair proht for his monoy the Legislature has the power lo amend it, which ought lo be dono with mool, o.ro. Hut should Ihe law prove to answer a good purpose, and Ihe banker continue lo act honestly, all will be right. Hut should the bunkers prove to bo dishonest, and attempt lo transcend Iho power vested in them by Ihcir charier, giving them the right lo bank by virtue of llm law, then lot our conns enforce the law, and the dishonest banker bo made to suffer. Ho has already been denounced as a Whig by somo of his locofoco brethren, for this independent expression of opinion. If tho leaders undertake to shoot down all Iheir friends who think as Mr. Alar-tin docs, Uicy will havo thoir hands full. Tke Hard., It il vory evidont from tho nominations already mado, that the Isjcofoco party in the next Assembly, whether the majority or Ihe minority, will not only go for the ri'iK-ol of tho present banking law, but will take strong ground against all banks and all paKr money. Look at tlio nominal ions of that par-ly, as slated in another column. Thoro is Knapp of Kalida, who contends Ihat tho legislature has no power or auihorily lo charter a bank of any character. There ia Kwing of Cincinnsli. who save. "I llnry in the name of a hord-inonoy man". Thoro is Reemelin, who renealcdlv last winter declared him self opposed la overy thing like a bank.

THURSDAY KVENINO, Beptkmbkk U, IBjS. Tlia Issue before llio Valors nf OMo. Tlie llniiiillon county resolutions have boon placed before llio people of Oliio through the Journal, tint all doubt might bo removed, as to the nature of tho ponding contest on tho Currency question. Tho Statesman has beon playing a double gamo, and attempting to bowilder its readers in a maze of words designed to obscuro rather than to elucidate tlio actual views of tho editor, and of tho party in Ohio. That ho bad concluded to abandon tho contest with the leaders of the hards, and yield tho questions in dispute, wo wero convinced and so staled moro than a week since. Although lie has not gathered courage to place tho Hamilton resolutions before his readers, ho has not vonturcd to utter a word against their radical and destructive doctrines. Tho eanili-dates nominated by the Hamilton Convention, ho has endorsed, knowing that their sontimcnts are in accordance with the resolutions. Thus wo see the gama that is to bo played. White ho flatters tho softs with tho belief that ho is with them and endorses their candidates, ho commends with equal readiness the hardest of the hard nominations. How much claim to independence or principle a man can have who thus acts, wo leuvo those interested to decide.The Fairfield resolutions, a portion of them, have also been placed before our readers, that there might bo no rouui for the charge that we are misrepresenting llio designs and views of our opponents. They correspond in spirit with thnso adopted in Hamilton; and although they too have failed to find a place in tho Statesman, wo havo yet to see tho first word against them in that paper. We havo now before us tho resolutions of a loco-foco Convention held in Henry county, which we find in the Kaliila Venture. They arc atrocious in sentiment, and indicato as do all tho signs of tho times that this is tho death-struggle of that faction ut the head of which has stood for ytars, such men as Jll'tn, Tappaa, Hartley, McXulty and lii'iigrm. Forced by the honest and fearless action of tho lute Legislature to throw of all disguise, thoy now launch out inlo tho final contest determined tu try llio virtue ol a bold move. If, by any fortuitous circumstances, tho remissness of their opponents or sny other canso, they succeed, the coast is clear for them and they can do their worst without exposing themselves to the charge of having triumphed on a fulso issuo. Hence wo are determined that they shall apeak for themselves through our columns, and that all men of all parties shall realize, if possible, oil that is st stake. It seems almost incredible that there should be even a shade of doubt as to tho result of the coming election, Willi such an issue; yet our op- ioncnis aro determined to inako a mighty effort to accomplish their ami', anil it is only by correspond ing exertions that we can secure such a triumph as will once nncl forever put at rest the ruinous war on tho Currency of tho Hluto that has been productive of so much evil from first to last, to tho best interests of all ; mora especially llio laboring and funning classes of this great Stato. Hear Ihc hards of Henry county: Itnsolrrd, That our opposition to bank domination, under all its phases, ami pretended "reforms'," "limitations'' anil 'safeguards," shall nevur cease until every uiterer of bills of credit for circulation as money, is placed under tho samo legal disabilities with tho uiterer of counterfeit coin, or any other public robber. Hesohed, That tho Independent Treasury is the great Ark of our financial salcty, lor tlio collection, Hale-keoniny and disbursement of tho public funds, and that the "signs of tho time" arc fraught with warning of tho dangers which encompass our gov ernment and people, unless tlio law is spc"unyre-tMiucted.

The day has gone by when it is necossary to advanco a serious argil ment against that most miscrabloafall humbugs, tho " metallic humbug!" Exploded ovcrywhere anil indignantly spurned by all who can claim even the smallest modicum of cotninonscuso, coupled with common honesty ; ill author lleuton has for yours aluiusl ceased to vonluro a word on tho subject, lest ho should remind those around him, that he once an vaiinlingly claimed tho honor of having "set that hsll in motion." Experience lias doiio its work in n wakening tho people of Ohio to a senso of llie shiil lowncs uf this humbug, and the wickedness of tho demagogues who urgo it Olio or two yosrs' oxh rience has satisfied tho peoplo of .Missouri and Illinois, and Ihey are beginning to manifest their rcs-tiveness under the galling yoke.

The last Statesman contains a letter from Mr, Spencer which reads as follows: To the Editor Ohio Statesman : During my absence from this city, the editor of tho Ohio Stale Journal has seen proper to arraign my conduct as a u ember of the Into Hoard uf Public Works, and to brand Mr. Ransom and mvself, by base insinuations, ss defaulters. In all its parts, this charge, or insinuation is untrue. I um not now, and never have at any moment been a defaulter tu llio Stato. And now, as ever, am I ready to render an account uf my stewardship, and account for all money which has come into my hands, as Boon as tho travelling member of llio Hoard of Fund Commissioners is ready to mrtko tho settlement with mo. What renders the charge of defalcation against tho late Hoard the mora unfair, is tho fact, that Mr. Ransom and myself havo frequently visited Columbus to procure a settlement with tho acting Commissioner of tho Fund Hoard, and have as often been disappointed. This fact must have been known to the Journul scribbler, and if so, it at once pluces him in the lowest runk of slanderers. Respectfully yours, Columbus, Sept. !), 1H45. WM. SPENCER. As to Mr. Spencer's allusion to us, we puss that by with silent contempt, as coming from a sourco unworthy of notice We have to do with Mr. Spencer as a public officer, and in that capacily aluno. Mr. Spencer denies that he is a defaulter this will depond upon what ho means by that term; lie may not bo so in his own opinion, but ho is not to bo judgo in this matter. Tho facts in tho caso sro to decido that que.tlon. Mr. Spencer does not deity that he Aril public mom? in his hands lehich he has no right to hold j he only says Ihat he is ready to account for II moneys which havo come into Ins hands. To ac count for tho money might bo en ensy matter ; but when this accounting bus been had, will it not snots bidanct in hit Amid? Thai is tho question. Has Mr. Spencer money in his hands which has not been applied to the public service ? Now for the facts : The members of tho Board of Public Works litivo nder the law rendered (heir nccounts twice overy year, on the l.'iih of May and the 15th of November, n theso accounts they nrc required to render a state ment of all payments made during the previous six months, and produco tho proper vouchers therefor. rheso accounts aro first examined by the Hoard of 'ublic Works, and recorded in their office. Tho cling member must then deliver them tu tho Audi tor of Slate, and, if ho finds thoni correct, tho Au- iter is required to havo them recorded ; and the originals with the vouchers are to remain on filo in is olhce. In complianco with tlio law, the members of tho late Hoard have regularly rendered their ac counts up to tho 15th of last Novcmbor and they havo been passed and recorded. In their accounts aro found tho payments at that time claimed by them to have been made. Messrs. Spencer and Ransom continued in ollico up to tho 1st day of last April, and were then required to render an account of their doings from the 1.1th of November 14 1 to that dato April I, It3 15,) in order to close their accounts. Mr. Ransom has rendered an account, which has been recorded in the books of llio Board of Public Works, without however, any action on tho part of said Hoard, anil by a clerk employed by himself. 1 Ins account has never been passed upon by tho Hoard, has never been presented to 'lie Auditor, and liad no vouchors attached to it tho Inst time wo ex ain.ned it. And yet in slating his account, the Hoard of Commissioners, examining the same, havo given him credit for tho amount of this account, huwever nformal it may be, and, alter deducting this sum nfid every other sum, which Mr. Ransom's accounts show ho has paid, tho balance wo havo before mentioned stands ngainst him; and what in more, the account! show that this turn has Itcen in his hamhfor more than sixyrars, Mr. Spencer had better take care of him self bef ire bo vuluutccrs to defend Mr. Ransom about a matter of which ho is entirely ignuranL Nay, more, wo learn that a copy of Mr. Ransom's account, ns made out by tho Commissioners, was handed to him as early as llio V.lth of June; and no response has been heard from Mr. Ransom since. So much for Mr. Ransom. Now for Mr. Spencer. Ho too lias rendered his accounts up to the loth of Novoml-er lust; has claim ed credit for all payments, ho could produce vouchers for up to that dale. In stating his account, Mr. Spencer bos been charged w ith no moneys but what his own checks show him lo havo drawn, nnd ho is credited with all payments claimed by him to havo been mado up to the 15th of last Nov., when he rendered his regular scini-onnual account. This is Mr. Spencer's last regular account; the lust that he has filed in tho ollico of Iho Auditor of Slate. The amount of money in his bands on the 15th of Nov. last, according lo his own showing was JV',1111) tri. Since that time Mr. Hpcnccr has drawn from the State I reasury Iho sum uf .li,:l7;l 7(1, which makes the sum in his hands amount to $H!rli 7rJ; for which ho has as yet rendered no account to the Auditor of Slale. .In looking inlo tho office of tho Board of ln. lie Works, wo find an account, purporting to bo the account of Wm. Sencer nn tho various works under his charge up to tho 1st day of April last, when h s term of service expired. Tho credits claimed in this account amount in tho sum of iui,.'i7 Ph. and, if we givo him credit for this whole sum, and deduct it from the .-i,lNi 7H, there slill remains tlio sum of ijc.VIU 5! in Iho hands of Wm. Spencer, which ho iloos not pretend thai ho has applied to the public service. vv hat right has Mr. Spencer lo retain this sum in his hands? Why does ho neglect to closo his accounts with tho present Hoard and with tho Auditor, as tho law requires? Why docs ho neglect to pay this sum over? Hut wo havo not yet dnno with Mr. Spencer. Wo have looked into some of the items of this informal account; and wo cannot believe that any officer of tho Stato will uvor allow tliem. Wo gavo two of those items somo week or two since; tho receipts of Mr r. Ii. llirnoy; with whoso doings our readers aro somewhat acqusinted. The dam account exhibits him in bis geiiuino character. These two receipts, amounting lo tho sum of $:f.leVII, bear dato prior to tho l.'iih of last Nov. to wii: on tho 8 1 and :ld days of last September. Why then did not Mr. Sjicnccr return these two payments with bis Inst Nov. accounts? If these sums wero paid when tho receipts bear dale, llio law required him In incliido them in lus November account! Why was not this done? Will Mr. Spencer answer us that? The items themselves aro wholy inadmissible. What right had K. (1. Barney to sell chocks at a discount, or to borrow money for tho uso of Iho State ? Wo have reached a pretty pusa if our engineers can turn in and borrow money at whatever rule of inter est or discount they think proper, and mako tho Slalo pay the amount! There is also another item that needs explanation, John W. Erwin was paid on 'J7th of March 1HI5, r?'J 111,00 for services as engineer on the Sydney Feed-or from 1st Apiil H I to I ."nil of April ltl5, at tiO per month. This Mr. Erwin is also paid his salary of f'ss'i.OO as Resident Engineor on the Mia in Ca nal, as wo judge from a ro-.eipt of his for 41 months salary, at that rato per year. Tho law limits tho salary of Resident Engineers, to guiisi. Was this anctfort to get around the law ? Tho Sydney Feeder is a part of tho Miami Extension Canal, and Mr. S. Medbury was llio Resident Engineer on that work. Wo would like lo hear from Mr. Spencer soma explanation ol this item. Mr. Spencor lias also been very liberal towards himself. Ho credits himself mil Ii $ I.'15,00 fur 15 days services from April 1st, If 13 to May 15, 1 HIS for K'fina; up ncrtiuni. Now tho law allows a member of the Hoard but $'2,00 por day, when in tho sorvico of the Stato. Mr. Siencer charges J I por day for doing what the law requires him to do without additional compensation, vis: lo render hit nrrminfl iii to the close of his lirm of iiJinf. This ia not all. Mr. Spencer also credits himself with $151,00 paid for clerk hire and expenses in settling tip mrounfs after the l.'iih of April. And yet moro with the further sum of(lli!4,70, for clerk hire, post age paid, expenses incurred &lc. in settling accounts &c, closing up business to April 1st, 1H45. Here then, Mr. Spencer has credited himself with the pretty sum of 4110,70 for settling up his accounts; a matter, which by law he wu bound to do on the expiration of his ollico. He know too, tor somo time, that his offico was to cxpi o on. llie 15th day of last April; and yet, instead of preparing himself to ad just all nutters on that day, ho postpones it until his term of office, expired, and thon modestly asks tho present Hoard to sllow him 1 110,75 for doing what by law he should have had dono on the l.itli duv of April. There aro some other items in this informal ac count that look very suspicious; but we will pas them ovor fur llie prcBcnl. There is, howevor, ono oilier matter which we cannot pass ovor. Tho account as stated is more favor able than it can ultimately bo. Many of these pay ments, for which Mr. Spencer claims a credit, have hecn made by drawing checks upon the Stato Trea surer, which checks aro, ns wo learn, slill outstand ing. What tho amount of those outstanding checks may bo no one but Wm. Sponcer knows, llo must in Iho end, therefore, bo charged with these, or dis allowed for the credits hcclsiins on account of these payments. Muny of theso checks too, wo huvo rea son to believe, havo been drawn by Mr, Spencer without any legal aulhoiiiy, sinco the expiration ol his tonn of ollico, and antedated so as to make them apiear to have Doon drawn while bo was in office. If Mr. Spencer has beon thus drawing checks, after the expiration of his office, it is amatturto be looked into; and tho holders of such checks had belter look to it also. Wo havo now dono with Mr. Spencer for the present We huvo mode good our churgo. Mr. Spencer has not less than '.'( I! .."! I uf public money, by his own showing, in his hands, which ho docs not protend to huvo paid out for tho public use. He had .,,,lil!lW in his hands on tho 15th of last November; On tho 15lh of November, 1H K1, he had in his hands $1,4!IH.IH, after deducting all payments reported and claimed by him. It is, therefore, no now thing Willi Mr. Spencer, this, of having a balance in his hands; it is a matter uf long standing, commencing very soon after his appointment. If, however, wo deduct the illegal credits which ho cl lims, llie default will bo swelled tu the sum of 1,5! 18.73; to which must bo added tho amount of the outstanding checks. How much of this sum of r?li,.'t7.l'J may have been paid by checks, which aro still outstanding, no ono but Mr. Spencor can tell. Ho, and no one elso, is able at present to fix llio prociso magnitude of his default, as i understand that term. When Mi Siencer shall have falsified his own accounts so as lo show a different result, wo shall bo ready to pay our respects to him again. From llietlliio HlntesTnaa. The nianufactiireis were very loud in their decln-ralions ihat ruin would result lo them, and of cour e lo the country, if tlio Tcnnesscan should triumph over tho Konttickinn. Doleful, indeed, were their predictions. I lud you believed them, vou might have seen far enough into futurity to have beheld Abbott Jiwrcnco commencing llio anew Willi a pair ol brushes and a boitlo of the real Warren ; Nathan Apiilelon applvinirin the trustees of sonic churiloblc fund fur the amount of capital requisite fora gentleman about engaging in the wiiod-sawing profession; no miinciuus oilier worthies ol tlio same patriotic and di interested class, carelullv nulling nway a small portion of the best New Voik salt, In be used for seasoning such stray potatoes ns might be iriven to them fur sweet cimiitv'ssake. The future was a woful sight indeed to ono cluss being nothing less than tho spectacle uf a whole class of 'gentle' people actually necessitated lo engage in liselul occupa tions, to Ihc manifest discomlorl of llie 'upier classes,' tun uie destruction ot llio organs ol reverence nn too leads of thoso whom thu whirrs call tho 'common people.' This brief uxtrsct from the Statesman of last even ing, is from an article of considerable length, tho do- sign of which was tu produce nn impression that die anular.liirerH huvo prospered noiri'isriuiltiis; the election of Mr. Polk; and that in proportion ns they ivo prospered tlio laboring classes of the country havo been depressed. Of just such stufl as this paragraph was ihe whole article made; and jusloflhis churaclcr are alt the editorials of the Statesman, ui- ler its new editor. There is not in tho whole arti cle a single apjical to the belter judgment, a single argument addressed tu Iho understanding of those who make up tho strength of the opposition. Instead d seeking to make men wiser or belter and to make society happier or more peaceful, bis whole aim scorns to bo to stir up the baser passions, to array one class against another, and to awakonjcu!nusies,hcarl' burnings and strife. This seems to bo the peculiar aim, llie special mission of ono who has come in the midst of the people of Ohio lo teach them what ' Mas sachusetts democracy " is. In view of such cxhilii-lions wo cannot be surprised at llio ill success that attended his Inborn in Massnchusclls, nor can it be a matter of surprise that such " democracy " should cause that State to roll up a majority of more than firmly mriiMrnin ngainst Mr. Polk, in llie Into contest, and givo all the Congressmen to tho Whigs. He is at liberty to believe it or not, but we can tell tlio editor of the Statesman (and we speak not as a paitizan, for there are considerations of a higher nnluro that wo desire to bo guided by generally,) that his mis sion is a bsso and dishonorable ono, and that ho has mistaken, most eggregiotisly tho character and feel ings, and underrated Iho intelligence of the people of Ohio, of all parties, if ho supposes that any consul orable portion of thum sympathize with him in his agrarian views. In his classical researches, of which he makes so much display, ho may havo found out that the good peoplo of ancient (ireeco wero suc cessfully indoctrinated, occasionally, by their ora tors, with the peaiilent principles and prejudices ho so eagerly inculcates. Hut, if ho did not find out that they were productive of just such billor funis as anarchy-ridden France was compelled tufenst on, at a later day, he will not bo long in discovering ihat tho people of Ohio havo read and thought to a better purpose than he aeums to havo done. Wo can tell him that the peoplo of Ohio aro nu more inclined tu listen to such teachings than wero the peoplo of Massachusetts. Kipenenco has luught them to bo a little cautious of thoso who are eternally prating of their own patriotism, democracy and luvo for Iho poor. They havo limbec n so blind as lo fail to seo what locofocoism has dune for tho country during the many years that it lias been under its iulluonce. A national debt, wido-sprcad corruption, a bankrupt treasury, a disastrous convulsion in tho business of tho country, and Stale Repudiation, wuro some oftlio beneficent results of lncofoco policy. In our own Stale a ruinous war on the currency, an increaao uf llio Slolo Debt, an increase or Taxation and tlio introduction of a wicked partisan rule and a system uf favoritism towards miserable party hacks, were a few uf tho advantages resulting from tho ascendancy of locufoco counsels for a succession of years. And now, when after having delivored themselves from these unpropitious influences, they are asked to join in a crusade against tlio 1 arm, against thoir Currency, against themselves, against Mexico for Texas and tircnt Britain fur Canada, they inquire to what purpose is all this ? hat is to bn gained? What new ami extraordinary necessity has arisen to de mand such proceedings ? Will it mako us belter, happier and wisor ? ill it strengthen Iho Republic, enlarge our privileges, lighten our burlhons, en banco our resources or elevate us higher socially, morally or politically ? They find no satisfactory answer in the omply clamors and high-sounding pro-ten ions of those who would sediico them to their ruin; and they turn awny with undisguised loathing from theso falso teachers and hypocritical pretenders. They contrast Whig practico during tho short time Ihey have had power in tho Stale and Nation, with the practice of these pretenders, and they thus learn how to apprcciato the professions of thoso who have more successfully prey on '.he earnings of the peoplo and seduce Ihotn from the counsels and policy of thoso who framed and administered the government when patriotism was measured by its sacrifices for tlio public good, instorid of tho amount of its pretensions, when merit and not partisan subserviency waa a pussKrt to distinction. In the National counsels they seo tho Whigs laboring to rcstoro to the country its nnequsllod currency, to rostoro a system of protection under which tho country had prosporcd for so many years to give to the people the proceeds of their own lands to bo used as they may direct to secure tho right of petition to prevent on extension of tho power of the only aristocracy known to the country, (that of Ihe South, which givo a Southern slaveholder a right lo exert so much more influence al the ballot-box than his honest free neighbor of tho north) and to prevent tho abuso of the "one man" power. In tho Stale Counsels, they aco tho Whigs making use of the power vested in them to equalize taxation, furnish a substitute for a wretched foreign' currency ferret out tho abuses Hint have been practiced by men selected for their partizan qualifications maintain the honor and credit of tho Stato, and put an end to llie drain on the Treasury, by a reduction of salaries and a refusal to embark in wild schemes of internal improvement. We havo allowod ourselves considerable latitude in those remarks, that wo might tako in the full scopo of what seems to be tho whole lubor of the Statesman. A vory few roui'rks in reference lo tho arti-clo fruir, which wo havo quoted, and wo leave it to its inglorious work, with an aasuranco that it will reap ils reward. Neither tho manufacturers or tho friends of the manufacturers, the friends of American labor, or the American laborers themselves, asserted tint the more elevation of Mr. Polk, or any body elso, would ruin the country. It is from the mrusnres that Mr. Polk and his friends aro so determined to establish and tho destruction of tho measures of a Whig Congress, that ruin is anticipated. Because the very fear of what is threatened has not rendered llio Treasury bankrupt, turned the tido of trade against us, and prostrated tho manufacturing interest, Iho Stales-man is inclined to claim credit fur Polk, and sneer at Whig predictions. Wait till the country gets a taste of locofoco freo trade and llio odious Sub-Treasury, and then we shall bo able to make np a verdict on the merits of tho question. Bot, tnoBt extraordinary of nil, is tho assumption against the Tariff, based on llie fact that it has onobled Abbott Lawrence, Nalhan Applcton, and such men lo raiso themselves from the humblest walks cf lifo and from poverty, to uffluonco and distinction. Where is the poor American laborer who will not join in decrying a system that holds out such inducoiicn'j to indus try, perseverance and enterprise? ies, the Tariff, the black Tariff, has given wealth anJ honor to those who commenced in the world poor as llie poorest in our midst, and lest it may do the samo for other honest nnd indusiriuus men, it mint be repealed ! That is llio point of llio argument, if point it has. To tlio British and I rcucli monopolies would tho Statesman transfer the profits of manufacturing, and by prostrating our own manufactories, cast upon tho country to starvo or to swell the ranks of the competitors in llioalrendy uvcrstockoil produce mnr- kot, thousands who now aid in furnishing a market for tho surplus pruilucts of thu soil. This is tho friendship of the Statesman for tho laboring and tho producing classes. The tender mercies of such men would bo a withering curse lo tho laud. Tho last scntenco of the quotation is worth) of Jack Cade. Thoro is so much of olevated senti ment, pungent satire, dignified appeal and substan tial argument, we cannot consent to break its ferco or mar its beauty by a commentary. It might trnub-lo our neighbor lo say when and where too Whigs sKike of tho "common people," but poets are allowed considerable lutitudo in the use of language, and poiticiaus may fairly claim omo wo suppose.

That Ohio is a great, rich and nubte State, no one over for a moment doubled; nor has any one ever, to our knowledge, doubted the willingness of the people of Ohio to dischnrgo Ihcir debt, which they did in specie wnen almost all other mates paid in uepro iimem(mm Isanilniitlans. Wo leurn from the Guernsey Times that the 1.0-cofocos of that County mot on tho 1st, and nominated for Representative, Wm. Lawuf.me, Esq., and cinted paper. All this, howevor, only mnkos the ini-! for Senator, Dr. A. Pattsbsoh. The Senatorial liiit v of those men who havo gotton rich by corrtnl practices in the mnnngeiiient of the Stnto finances llio greater. Tho ruinous sales of the Stato promises to push canals to completion, which are scarcely opened, before railroad competition along side of them threatens to destroy their usefulness. That cliquo of individuals who have preyed upon the people of Oiiio seek to identify themselves with her interests, but their masks will be torn off, and the people of Ohio will know thnt to attack those who have robbed her is to servo her interests. The Ohio Journal makes a statement in relation to our expose only worthy of thoso who sell Ohio stocks at 52 cents on the dollar, and pocket the plunder. Acw York Arms. It i gratifying to find that the rebukes which havo been bestowed on the Now York News in as well as out of that cily, for its shameless attacks on the credit of Ohio; arc compelling it to a change of tono. It qualifies an unwilling endorsement of tho integrity and credit of the Slate, with somo ambiguous allusions that recoil only on the heads of its friends. Tho developments that havo already been made, as the result of the investigation into tho management of those who have ao long been pensioned on the State, show who have plundered tho Stato by their corrupt practices. All over the State can bo found those who arc rolling in the wealth acquired through jobs given tliem at enormous profits, as party favorites. The Slato Finances and Stale Improvements havo both boon under the management of locofoco incumbents, almost exclusively, for nearly soven years, during which time they have increased the Slate Debt from ?5,000,000 to nearly cJO,000,000 ! These Canals that it is said were pushed so rapidly to completion wero commenced under the auspices of locofoco Legislation. The Whigs only assented to appropriations for their completion that they might lot be worthless to the Slate, after tho expenditure f millions of dollars. By tho false estimates of loco-bco managers and financiers, locofoco legislators vere induced to engage in many works of duubtful expediency. Wit heartily agree with the News that he "people of Ohio will know that to attack thoso vho havo robbed her is to serve her interests." Tho gnoranco of the News relative to the affairs of Ohio, ir some other causo has prevented it from aiding is in this work. Instead of attacking such men it las attacked tlio State, and seeks to fasten on others ins that have been committed by its friends only. Die miserable fling at those who wero forced to sell )hio stocks at a ruinous sacrifice, in order tu pay llio lehu which locofoco profligacy had incurred, takes -ffccl on thoso alone whom it would shield. Tho Whigs of Ohio shrink from no investigation into tho icts of those to whom they havo entrusted the rcs- Kinsibilities of cilice. Tho N. York Tribune thus nanliilty rebukes its contemporary and endorses the .lonesly of Ohio: The Morning News has a habit of attacking about onco a week (he credit of the Stale of Ohio and its ability to continue to pny tho interest on its Stale debt. Indeed it appears to have a mania on this subject. What its motive may bo wo do not pretend to say, but wo hope it is belter than its arguments. Ohio, with nearly two millions of inhabitants and still on llio highway of progress, will never repudiate her debt nor shrink from tuxution to pay theinterest. Convention met aflorwards and refused to second this nomination and substituted the name of F. W. Thornhill, of Coshocton. This, it is thought, will be a grievous disappointment to Dr. P. Tho Whigs of Guernsey manifested their regard for their own characters and tlio interests of the State, by defeat- tng Mr. Lawrence last fall, and unless they think a locofoco of vory small calibre and one who seems to aim at consuming more timo in nuscrablo stump twaddlo, than all the rest of his brethren together, will bo of servicoto the formers of that section, they will do him asimilar service this year. Portaoe Cousjtt. Tho locofucoa of Portage havo nominated for Representative, NelsonEgglo-ston. Clrrmo.it. The Locofocoe of tho Clormont Senatorial district met last week and nominatm! for Senator, Col. DowTr Utter. So, Monsieur Ton-son is coming again. Well, if the Col. won't suit the hards, thoy aro hard to suit. Con. David Dial was nominated to represent Clermont in the lowor house. The military spirit seems to run high in that section. A l.ellev fram !?lr. Van slurrN. The Now York papers contain a letter from the sago of Lindcnwald, in reply to one from the loco- focos of tho 10th and 13th wards of New York Cily. It is short (a mom that can but asldombe claimed for his letters,) and is devoted mainly to annexation. Ho alludes to the well known fact that the proceedings of the late administration on the Texas question did not receivo the approbation of "portions of tho democratic party," but expresses a very decided conviction that proceedings under the present administration havo rcachnd a point, at which opposition to the measure can no longer bo acccssable. He man ages to place himself on tho Tuxna platform in a manner worthy of his reputation as a cunning politician. Ho says nothing of the mrrmsby which annexation has been accomplished, and avoids committing himself in favor of the proceedings of ils friends. Lest, however, some should be inclined to think ho was guilty of inconsistency, he takos occasion to remark, with a churming nntvttte, that he considers his present declarations " in honorable consistency " with his post course on the question. Tho reader will bo apt to inquire why auch a remark waa necessary if the fact was so palpable? A suspicion is entertained that the magician wishes to prcpsre the way for a hand in the game of 18 Ir!. Ohio Stocks TheN. Y. Newe of the 5lh inst. quotes Ohio 7 per cent stocks, nt 115 a V5j. This ia mistake, we presume; as the other N. Y. papers of llie samo date quoto Ohio O'a nt 115s. If there aro any seven per cent stocks of Ohio in market, (which is doubted) the N. Y.

It is observoblo that llie Branch Banks nre nearly all old concerns with broken or expired charters, which by sH)cial graco are allowed to resume Ihcir scheming in a new form. Tho City Bank of Clove- land has been long known as tlio r Iranian s insurance Company, but has now taken livery as a " free booting Bank." There does not appear lo bo any actual disposition to subscribo any tirtr capital, but tho opportunity is a good one to turn the assets of the old banks to good account to make the inim omi dregs uf years of speculation tho basis of renewed credit. No manor how corrupt the interior uf these concerns msy havo been, they havo only to apply tho wliiio-waali ol Iho new law to ineir lotu vaults, inscribe a new sinn over their doors, and Ihey may atund forth renovated as fresh members of Iho coin- meiciul cunimuniiy. Sixleon ol Iheseniil carcases havo already received Ihespiiit of the new law, and nro crawling forlh to prey um tho iooplo of Ohio. We enn linrdl ' conceive of any thing as aliouio-lessly falso as tlio assertions of the above article. The capital subscribed in the new banks is all "new capital." The institutions are all "new" institutions in every senso of Iho term. Tho stock has been subscribed ill open books; and all tho movements have been as free from concealment as possible. Tho organizations of the institutions arc all new, and havo all boon made public, that all may judgo of their character, and know with whom they aro dealing.

Cleveland nnd t'alambns Ilnll stand. By reference to our advertising columns it will be seen that the amount of stock required for the organization of the company has beeu taken and that a meeting of tho share-holders is to bo held in this city on tho lllh October. Wo do not know what tho prospects are of a speedy commencement and completion of ibis work, but viewing it as wo do, of icai liiiMirtanceio tho terminating points, to tho intermediate country and to tho whole State, wo earnestly hoK it may bo promptly commenced and vig orously prosecuted. That the extent of travelling und transjmrtation upon it would be very great there can bo no doubt, and if judiciously located and sub stantially snd at the samo timo economically con structed, it seems to us it must prove very profitable stock to the owners. Howevor this may bo, that such a rood would add many tunes its cost to the value of property on its line, is 1 question about which there can be but one opinion. Kvory acre of wheat through a strip of country 'M miles in width and more than a hundred in length would bo worth an additional dollar by Iho diminished axpenso of transportation. The road hence to Cincinnsli will be dono within a year or two. Extend it to Cleveland and thereby bring Columbus wilbin eight and Cincinnati within fourteen hours of Cleveland, and both within about two days and a half of New York and Boston, and who ia bold enough to predict the extent of travelling upon it! And whatevor it might be on the completion of the road, it would go on increasing till the whole Mississippi Valley shall he fully peopled and every rood of land in its wide limits sustains ils man. That tins work can be executed we have nn doubt, if exertions commensurate with ila imporlanco bo uado, and that they will be mado we have strong confidence. Itlare Catnnliuirnla far Ihe inlasmnn.

Vermont Election. Partial returns havo been received from tho election held in this Stato last week. Sho is right side up as always. Tho scattering votes may defeat an election by the peoplo, but Sladu is away ahead nf his competitor, and the Legislature is nearly all whig, which makes all perfectly aafo. Counterfeiting, By a letter from Mr. I. B. IIalscy,nf Springfield, we loam that a man calling himself King, passed a counterfeit 10 bill on the Lafayette Bank of Cincinnati, near that place, on rucsdny. He was pursued towards Urbane, but es caped. (L7 Our friend Mr. S. P. Draer who recently retired from the West Union Intelligencer, has associated with Mr. Drouillard in the publication of the Portsmouth Clipper, a spirited whig paper. Jt roe Stoat was not quite ao ill at Inst dotes, ond hopes were entertained of hia recovery. Am ladepMradealJ W. J. Martin, Esq, of Shelby county, a democrat. and a condidato for the legislature, has issued an address to the people in which he says: There appears to bo some objections to the bonk law pnsscd at tho last annual session of the Legislature, but what the real objection is, I am at a loss to know; unless it is because tho law was passed by our political oppononta: but if this be tlio only ob jection to Ihst law, it is badly taken, and ought not to or supponee oy any good amen, it such a spirit of retaliation should be carried out by Ihe two great political panics, as or ten aa ihey gel the ascendancy, it would certainly bo introducing a precedent into the law making branch of our Government, which wouiu oc ruinous in ita consequences, if not manifestly injurious lo Ihe interest of community, and the pcrticluily of our freo institutions. However much this spirit wns indulged in by tho niombcra of Ihe legislature last winter, it ought to be discouraged by every philanthropist and lover ofhis country. I believe it would bo highly impolitic to attempt a repeal of Iho bank law at present, and believe ii ought to remain aa il is, until it ia fairly tested, and should il then prnvo to be iusullicicnt to protect the um iii'iuei, m wen ns 10 noi iuu DaiiKera lair proht for his monoy the Legislature has the power lo amend it, which ought lo be dono with mool, o.ro. Hut should Ihe law prove to answer a good purpose, and Ihe banker continue lo act honestly, all will be right. Hut should the bunkers prove to bo dishonest, and attempt lo transcend Iho power vested in them by Ihcir charier, giving them the right lo bank by virtue of llm law, then lot our conns enforce the law, and the dishonest banker bo made to suffer. Ho has already been denounced as a Whig by somo of his locofoco brethren, for this independent expression of opinion. If tho leaders undertake to shoot down all Iheir friends who think as Mr. Alar-tin docs, Uicy will havo thoir hands full. Tke Hard., It il vory evidont from tho nominations already mado, that the Isjcofoco party in the next Assembly, whether the majority or Ihe minority, will not only go for the ri'iK-ol of tho present banking law, but will take strong ground against all banks and all paKr money. Look at tlio nominal ions of that par-ly, as slated in another column. Thoro is Knapp of Kalida, who contends Ihat tho legislature has no power or auihorily lo charter a bank of any character. There ia Kwing of Cincinnsli. who save. "I llnry in the name of a hord-inonoy man". Thoro is Reemelin, who renealcdlv last winter declared him self opposed la overy thing like a bank.
