basely and falsely instructed (hem,nrid 1 chal
lenge you ti) tho test before an interpreter,
to prove my position.
You state in the petition, thnt T had " let
a large contract for building a bridge across
Bean Creek, when there was a bridge suit'
nble, convenient and safe to cross, which
would answer for several years." You knew
that you asseated a wilful falsehood, bv sta-
ting that the bridge was " convenient and safe
to cross;" tor you well knew, as well as tho
public generally, that said bridge was rendered
Utterly unfit and unsafe to cross, by the July
freshet of 1844 in fact the west abutment
Was so washed out, that the end of the bridge
Lad fallen down near the water's edge, and
you well knew it: Furthermore, at the time
the contract was let, to build tlm new bridge,
in September last, you were present, and
expressed your entire approbation, not only
of putting the bridge under contract, but of
the expediency of having the bridgo finished I
travelling community would be accommoda
ted with a bridge to cross said creek.
You slate furthermore, in said petition,
that I have used Hie tunds ot sa;d road for
my private purposes, as well as charged two
clonals per iay lor my services, in tinswer
to the two last mentioned charges, I assert,
Judge Haymaker, that in making tli char
ges, vou lied most foully in your throat; that
you cannot prove either of the cliaiges with
out committing perjury, and a! the time yon
made them, you well knew th.it they were
unfounded, as well as all oilier charges in
your petition, making complaint against my
officii) conduct as Road Commissioner. I
leave you for the present, Judge Haymaker,
to wallow in the slough of infamy, into which
you have cast yourseif, iot da'iug to look nn
honest man in tho fxe, without your con
science telling you that you aro a debased
scoundrel, and at n more convenient time I
will most cheerfully attend to your case, to
your full satisfaction.
I am aware that in penning tho above, I
liave been digressing from a strict sense of
dignity, which every gentleman ought to

the insolent puppy, I nave stooped to reacu
him. If I have cccmpl;shed my object,
f.tid the lash has sufficiently applied, 1 risk
of a generous public forgiveness for being
caught in such ennpany. It was only with
a view of having a road constnicled that I
accepted of the office, not that I expected
that the office would in any way benefit me
more than any other citizen; and havo for
two years performed the duties of Road
Commissioner, of the Free Turnpike above
alluded to, free of charges; and I defy any
man to point to a single act in my cfiicial

who have signed tho petition ignorant of its

Hvrct'Kisv. The cant of tho fedcial
newspapers about these days, with regard to
removals from office, is trr.ly amusing. This
lying fr.itcrnily before the election charged
upon Mr. Folk every thing will) which a
traitor to his country could be subject. His
father and grandfather were represented as
black hearted lories, nnd the derisive epi
thet of " Old ZckeV was as pat in the
mouth of a coon blackguard as was the Jack
cf Spades in the hands of Mr. Cby; while
Mr. Polk !;;rr.c!f was upbraided as tho tool
of the old hero of the Heimitrge, and r.s
one possessing no qualifications for the pre
sidency. But now the tunc is changed, and
the same hungry, cringing, fawning tools,
Feck to obtain favor at tho hands of the man
whom they have thus abused, and pray that
their friends mr.y be suffered to retain ph.ee
obtained by virtue of the hard cider cam
jmign. Such sycophancy, and low, degra
ding, selfish meanness is beneath contempt.
We sincerely hope Mr. Polk will duly ap
preoiate tho disinterested motives of these
patriotic scoundrels, and reward them ad
they best deserve. Wo admire the man
who boldly advances and proclaims his opi
nions, but scorn him who seeks, by fawn
ing upon power to retain a place of trust
within its gift. Such is the part only of a
slave. Dayton Empire.
Ant'SE of the Feank. We see by the
Kentucky Yeornan that Mr. Clay claimed
and received the franking privilege nearly
two years after he ceased to be a Senator,
upon the ground that he was entitled to it
until the full term for which he had been
elected expired. Mr, Critenden exercised
the privilege from his election, and there
fore during the last campaign three Senators
from Kentucky, were franking electioneering
documents and speeches, in utter violation
of all law and every principle of justice.
And yet, as if to screen this violation of the
lajv by their great "embodiment," tho fede
ralists tell us that Mr. Clay's postage bill
Jast year was $10,000. Oh! Roarback.

05" Since Monday last, the weather has been
a model for May. The rays of the genial sun
the opening flowers the melody of the forest
songsters, and tho tomptations of the ball alley,
render us too poetic for writing editorial.
The great puzzle. To the uninitiated among
t.ie wings, as well as among the democrats, the
Bank echemo of Kelley and FaM!INjton appears
to be tho most ingenious puzzlo of tho 19th cen
tury. A writer in the Cleveland (whig) Herald
suggests " tho getting up a commentary on this
law, like' Story on the Constitution.' " Ho thinks
tho work " need not exceed seven volumes of COO
pages each;" and that "our whig legislators
would probably become liberal subscribers to the
work." This is on excellent hit at (he stupid
coens in Ihe legislature who " went it blind" un
der tho It-ad of Ar.rr.ED Kshav.
Another writer in tho eamo paper acknowledg
es himself very essentially nonplused in his efforts
lo " get inlo common sense English" the G2d
section, He suggests that " some boy be put in
to a mesmeric sleep and let us know what the
compiler of that section meant."
These ominous mysteries and puzzles will soon
be solved. Timo will soon simplify them to the
understanding of every democrat and whi;r in
Ohio who has a pocket to foil. We suggest the
following interpretation of ibolaw, for tho benefit
of those enquir ing and simple koons who profess
to be so utterly in tho dark :
Be it enacted hit Hie Ccneral Assembly of Ihe
Stale of Ohio, That Kin;' Kelley, Prince Farrin
ton, and thcofliccrs of the Ohio Life insurance
ami irust Ooinpany, aro hereby created a body
politic and corporate, and declared to lie released
from all those obligations, which, as citizens,
thny owe tho Slate.
Sec. 2. That paid corporators shall bo invested
with-tho lrg'mlniive end exeeutivo functions of

Wo copy this paragraph from the Philadel
phia Public Ledger:
" Mr. Webster will enter the United States
Senate with tho intention of devoting his
timo to the office. Ho has been rendered
easy in his pecuniary affairs by the action of
his petsoUr. f:in?? in B9s;ou. One hun
dred thousand dollars havo been settled or.
his family by a gift from a number of wealthy
persons there, who chose fo take that means
of placing Mr. Webslor in an easy position.
As it is an afliiir between the givers and
receiver, we have nothing particular to say,
except this: it is certainly an unusual thing
for our public men, of capacity lo support
themselves and acquire wealth, to accept of
such gifts.
" In regard to the course of Mr. Webster
and his friends in the Senate, it is under
stood that they will give all possible support
to the administi'alicr. of Sir. Folic IIg;ivc:;
send it so; and may the monster, party spirit,
be crippled or crushed."
Tho tariff men of Boston have given this
hundred thousand dollars to Mr. Webster as
a senatorial retainer, to advocate, for the six
years to come, the policy by which they make
millions for his thousands. The hundred
thousand dollars i3 not one per cent, on the
gains they calculate on out of tho present
tariff. But may not liicso kssu financiers
miscalculate, like Mr. Biddle? This gen
tleman's retainers to tho bank's attorney in
ihe Senate of the United States wore great
er than that now advanced by tariff' monopo
list, and secured tho untiring labors of this
god-like fee taker, during the prime of his
life. But what was the result to tho bank
stockholders, and the great bank manager?
A total loss of the stock of the first, and the
ruin of the reputation of the last.
It may be however, that the admirable
manner in which he acquitted himself in a
more recent employment when, under the
auspices of another great banker, he cut a
slice out of Maino a hundred and ten miles
deeper than tho most encroaching monooo
lizing broker among the nations ever before
Had the f;ico lo insist on has increased the
confidence of our tariff monopolists in thi
political factor. And we may fairly suppose
mat no is commissioned to use. in tho ellec-

The inlianious conduct of the Whig
jorsly in the Senate.
The bill to re-district tho Slate for repre
sentation in Congress, camo up in tho Se
nate m tlio afternoon of veslerdav. Tho in
famy of the measure was exposed by a num
ber oi tlio democratic benators; and tho
conduct of the whir members durina the
scussioii, was disorderly and insultin;' in
tho extreme. Alfred Kelley mid his crea
tures disturbed tho Senate by loud talking,
aligning, sneering and moving about, when
c democratic benators were addressing the
Senate. Such insulting and disorderly con-
uct on the part ot a nuionty in either
ranch of tho Legislature of this State ne
ver before disgraced tlio free government of
til's bliitc. Allied and his tools with insult
ing insolence, exulted in this reckless net of
tyrr.nny, whilo trampling on the established
institutions of tho State, until they so dis
gusted a portion of tho members, that when
tho vole was taken they sat still in their
seals, and did not vote when their names was
called. And no one could havo been pre
sent and witnessed this disgusting scene of
insolence on the pirt of a few petty tyrants,
rioting in the brief authority obtained by ac
cident, and thought strange that some of tho
democratic members, for tho time being dis
gusted and astounded by tho baso atrocity
and Vandal recklcssncs, with which our in
stitutions aro thus broken, up, should lcVe
even declined p:ntic;pr,uiig by even forming
a part ot tho quorum which voted on, and
passd tills nefarious act of perfidy and out
rage. And because some of the democrat
ic Senators, outraged by the infamous and
insolent conduct of the majority, declined
to vote and constitute a part of the quorum,
a majority of which was liorpctratiii" the
deed of infamy, 'Alfred Kelly and some of
his creatures became very much disturbed;
when he was apprehensive at one time that
a quorum was not voting he jumped up and
said " well, well, Mr. Speaker, it makes no
difference1, if there be a quorum present the
bill can pass even although a quorum docs
not vote." And immediately one of Kelley's
fioaturcs ot uo and offered a resolution,
pending the bill, and of course out of order,
requiring Ihe fact lo be slated on the Jour
nal, that some members present had not
voted, and the resolution was adopted. The
Senators who did not vote, acted with no
concerted understanding; but outraged by
the infamous conduct ot the majority, de
clined to become a party, by voting, to the
quorum a majority of which did the deed.
Had the whig party been m the minority,
and the democratic parly attempted such an
act of tyranny, the whigs would have form
ed a conspiracy and absquatulated, and de
stroyed lliO Lyich'ive branch of the go
vernment, as they did on a certain former
occasion. When the wins members absquat
ulated, they met in secret caucus, and form
ed a conspiracy to dissolve tho Legislature
by a simultaneous resignation, and leaving it
without a constitutional quorum. It was a
concerted conspiracy against the sovereignty
of the Slate, and a violent dissolution of the
government by representatives sworn to sup
port the constitution. Ohio Statesman.

The voice of Gex Washington. The
advocates of a rag currency would do well
to rein up a short time in their mad career,
and read and reflect over tho contents of
tho letter below, from ono who is truly sly
led the Father of his Country. It speaks
in tho strongest terms of the fallacy of the
paper money system, and adds another link
to the strong chain of evidence which is
presented by the " hards" in support of the
position which they have taken. It would
have b??n far better for tho country if ita ru
lers had been guided, upon this question, by
the views of that great and goou man, as ex
pressed m this letter. The vast amou

bankruptcy and distress which invariably fol
lows in the train of an inflated currency,
would have been averted. The letter should
ho read by all, and its contents treasured up
and transmitted to the rising generation as a
rich legacy.
Letter to Thomas Stone,
" Mou.vr Vernon, 16 February, 1787.
"Deak Sir: Your favor of the 30lh ul
timo camo duly safe to hand. To give an
opinion in a cause of so much importance
as that which has warmly agitated the two
branches of your Legislature, and which,
from the appeal that is made, is likely to cre
ate great and perhaps dangerous divisions, is
rather a delicate matter; but, as this diversi
ty of opinion is on a subject which has, I
believe, occupied the minds of most men,
and as my sentiments thereon have been ful
ly and dacidedly expressed long before the
Assembly either of Maryland or this State
was convened, I do not scruple to declare,
that, if I had a voice in your Legislature, it
would have been givon decidedly against a
paper emission upon the general principles
of its utility as a representative, and tho ne
cessity of it as a medium.
" To assign reasons for this opinion would
be as unnecessary as tedious. Tho ground
has been so often trod, that a place hardly
remains untouched. In a word, the neces
sity arising from a want of spscio is repre
sented as greater than it really is. I con
tend, that it is by the'substance, not the sha
dow of a thing, we aro to bo benefitted.
Tho wisdom of man, in my humble opinion,
cannot at this time devise a plan, by which
tho credit of paper money would bo long
supported; consequently depreciation keeps
pace with tho qfuintily of the -Cmisjion, and
articles, for which it is exchanged, riso in a
greater ratio than the sinking value of the
money. Wherein, then, is the farmer, the
planter, the arlizan benefitted? The debtor
may be, because, as I have observed, h
gives the shadow in lieu of the substance
and, in proportion to his gain, (he creditor or
the body politic suffers. Whether it bo ;
legal tender or not, it will, as has been ob
served very truly, leave no alternative.
