PRIVATE BUSINESS PUBLICLY PAID FOR
Mr. Editor One characteristic of must of our
$o called public works, fa the pitiful littleness of
the income which they afford in comparison with
the immensity of the outlay expended in their
construction. Why is this so? Because when
one man direct the expenditure and receives all
the benefit, and another has to pay the bills, the
expenditure becomes lavish and wasteful to the
last degree. There is no Ivay to prevent this ten
dency of things, except to let those that dance
pay the Ptptr. , In case of our miscalled public
works, one little section, county, or dstricl, pro
jects the work, clamors for an appropriation, and
obtains it by intrigue, cunning, solicitation, log
rolling and underhanded influence, and all the
tax-payers in the State have to foot the bill. In
other words out public work are all private busi
ness publicly paid for. Would the people of Mt
Vernon libel, bullyrag, villify, blackball, threaten,
and attempt to intimid.ite the Treasury Guards
in the House of Representatives, for opposing
the extension oi the Walhonding canal, if the
counties interested had to pay the expense? . I tell
you nay, if such werejlhe case, they would regard
the opponents of that concern as their dearest
friends, for the worthless thing will in all probabil
ty, never make a return of one tenth of one per
cent on the outlay, if the State shall ever be so
foolish as to make the experiment One thing is
certain.. If an individual engages in speculations
which compel him repeatedly to borrow money by
selling his own paper at forty or fifty per cent,
discount, we begin to suspect some error in bis
plans, and if his capital invested makes him a return
of less than one tenth of one per cent, per annum,
we advise him to discontinue his enterprizes. Is
not that economy which h wise or foolish in an
individual, wise or foolish in a State or communi-
ty? The question which the subscriber wishes
distinctly to propose to the citizens of this county,
is, whether it is ptoper lor thrm to remain silent
and make no active opposition to that system of
legalized plunder which has been going on in our
beloved State for years, or whether they should in
conjunction with the other paying counties, em
ploy their political powers against it? Arguments
may be fallacious, let facts speak. And if, like the
above mentioned unfortunate speculator, we have
had our own paper sold at an enormous discount
and with as poor a return, let us quit the business.
My space will only permit me to give a very jpv

. QO The tvhigi groaned when they heard of the
Dominations of Polk and Dallas, and they will
groan still more when they are beaten. u '
instances out of the many that might be produced.
In one case our State bonds, (bearing an interest
of six per cent, per annum,) to the amount of one
hundred and thirty-six thousand dollars, were sold
by the commissioners of the canal fund for eighty
eight thousand, three hundred and eighty-eight
dollars and fifty eight cents. In another case, two
hundred thousand dollars were sold for one hun
dred and sixteen thousand eight hundred and fifty
one dollars and two cents. In another case, six
hundred and eighty seven thousand eight hundred
dollars were sold for four hundred and forty-seven
thousand four hundred and thirty seven dollars and
thirty three cents. In another case one hundred
and fifty three thousand four hundred dollars were
J cV fr one hundred and sixteen thousand, four
hundred dd.'lars and 37 cents. And in still an-,
other, three hunirei thousand dollars were sold
for one hundred and eight, til?wd. I call these
transactions sales the substance of 'he iu't''r was
and is, that the canal fund commission'"', borrow
ed the smaller sum, issuing certificates of State
indebtedness for the larger sum, giving the differ
ence by way of discount for the sake of the loan
the reader may call them sales or loans or whatever
he pleases. And, gentle reader, would you be
lieve it, we paid out of the State treasury no less
than eleven thousind six hundred and twenty-four
dollars, and eigty-eight cents, by way of premium
for driving these precious bargains!! Such is the
cost of privatt business publicly paid for!! Let
the reader not suppose that the above are the only
instances of such wasting discounts given for
canal loans by our good State of Ohio.
For instance two hundred and seventy four thou
and five hundred and two dollars and twenty cents
were sold for one hundred and ninety two thous
and one hundred and fifty one dollars and fifty four
cent, being a discount of thirty per cent. In an-
other case fifty two thousand dollars have been sold
for thirty nine thousand and in still another case
ninety eight thousand seven hundred and seventy
nine dollars were sold for sixty nine thousand one
hundred and forty five dollars and thirty cents.
These were six per cent, st cks, our neven per cent-
have also been sold al a discount. What premium
was paid for negotiating these last mentioned loan
I know not; but it was currently reported in Co
lumbus last winter that our stockbroker in New
York received a compensation of about fifteen
thousand dollars pei annum in the shape of per
centages on . the loans which be negotiated
heard this assorted in conversation repeatedly and
I never heard it contradicted. Reader what thiuk
you of these things'. Is lint private business pui
licly paid fur, rather expensive. Fifteen thous
and dollars per annum for a New York broker,
compare this with the salaries of some ol our pub-
e servants at home!!! Compare Mount Olym
pus to rmole hill.'!! Reader be assured that as
tyrants in other parts of the world prevail by force
so our Ohio speculators prevail by fraud
OSCAR
THE ACT TO PREVENT FRAUD IN THE
;,; PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. "
Tbe New York Evening Post remarks on this
subject, and justly concludes, that federalism, by a
solemn vote of its senators, has given evidence of
a desire to palm a President on the nation by fraud.
- Ffom the Evening Post.
, The occasion for the law is acknowledged; the
good effect it is likely to produce is not denied. : We
are on the eve of a presidential election upon which
its effect cannot be otherwise than benefical, and in
which it might prevent much spurious voting
The House of Representatives passed, by a large
majority, a bill in which this measure was present'
ed in a most unexceptionable form. ' The bill went
up to Senate, and there, by a whig majority, it
was vntually rejected by laying it on the table.
When we recollect that prodigious frauds in the
election of 1840 were charged upon the whig par
ty, upon evidence so plausible, to say the least
that many men, not hasty in forming unfavorable
opinions of their fellow men, fully believe the
charge, we would have thought that the leaders of
that one party, anxious to show that they, at least
were clear of the iniquity, would have eagerly co
operated m closing the door against future frauds,
and would have passed the bill from the House of
Representatives, with no other deliberation than
was necessary to see that its provisions were prop
erly framed, and adequate to the purpose. If any
man expected such an evidence of virtue in the
whig members of the Senate, he has been disap
pointed. The bill was lost in that body, and the
next election mjst take place with all the opportu
nities for bringing armies of voters from one State
to another which existed in 1840. .
What are we to infer from this? Simply that it
is expedient for the whig party that the opportuni
ty to commit fraud should exist. It is necessary to
their success that no check should be put upon the
transportation of voters from city to city from
Philadelphia, for example, to New York- They
have declared this by a formal proceeding in the
United States Senate. The vote of twenty-six to
twenty-five, laying the bill on the table, may be
translated thus : "Wanted, by the whig party.eev-
eral thousand pipe-layers for the presidential elec
tion in New York and other cities."
It is true, that the whig had a pretext for voting
against the bill. Pretexts are of all things the
easiest things for an experienced politician to find.
The excuse for not passing the bill is, that two or
three of the State government would find it neces
sary to call a special legislative session to give ef
fect to the law. Not that there is not time enough;
but the whig members of the Senate were fearful
of subjecting the States to the expense.
When, last year, a whig Congress passed a bill
ordering tbe election of members of Congress to be
held by districts in the Several States a measure
which, whatever might be its merits, was not one
of immediate urgency the objection was made
that such States would be compelled to. call special
sessions of the legislature to provide tor giving it
effect The whig members treated the objection
as frivolous, and passed the bill notwithstanding
They were not then disturbed by any scruples in
regard to the expense This fact is another indi
cation that the argument by which they now op
pose the bill is a mere subterfuge, and that their
real object is the one we have imputed.
Sugar crop in Louisiana The New Or
leans Price Current, a well informed journal, con
tains the following correction of a very erroneous
statement now in circulation from the Patent Office
report In the statement alluded to under tbe head
of sugar, the amount produced in Louisiana in
1843 is put down at 37,173,590 pounds. . These
figures are altogether erroneous :
The crop of this State in 1843 was estimated by
us in our annual statement of lt September last at
135,000 hbds., but it was afterwards ascertained to
have been fully 140,000 hhds. t according to the in
vestigations of Mr. Degelos, who published a mi
nute statement of the product of each plantation.
The average estimate for each hhd. is 1 ,000 pounds;
consequently, the whole product was 140,000,000
of pounds instead of 87,173,590, or trifling differ
ence of about 103,000,000 pounds." '
The number, of cases of yellow fever admitted
jnlo the Charity Hospital at New Orleans, from
the 1st of January, 1822, to the 1st of January, 1844,
was 7,787, or which 3,808 terminated in death. In
1823 there was but one Case, in 1831 and 1840
three cases each, and in 1838 six cases. ' v ' ' j '
The Miltonian, published on the west branch of
the Susquehanna, says that the grain crops in that
region of country look well, and give promise of
to abundant harvest '..,,,.1..,; ,,.

Editors of the Dayton Empv e: My
grandfather was a democrat and a sol
dier in the revolutionary army. My
father was a democrat, and I was bro'i
up prefessing and believing in the prin
ciples ot democracy. But in 1840, 1
was induced by the boldness with which
the basest charges were made against
the democratic party, and somewhat
affected by the tremendous excitement
got up by the federalist during that
campaign, and from hopes that the great
promises daily made oi future prosper
ity, of two dollars a day nnd roast
beef," might be true to go lor "Tippe
canoe and lyierioo." i nave since
become convinced that i was most
wofully deceived, that the principles in
which I was matured are the true dem
ocratic principles, and that whig prom
ises are made but to catch votes, with'
out any intention on the part of those
who make them to- redeem them. In
short i go for Polk and Dallas, Tod

"The cry is still they Come." We
cut the following from the Marbhall
Expounder:
, Messrs. Editors: I see the States
man is a good deal troubled because one
of my anvils flashed the night of the
Democratic glorification. Now I want
to explain the reason of it. In 1840 1
used to fire thess same two anvils,
(swivels,) for "Tippecanoe and Tyler
too," but since then, like a good many
others that 1 know, I have seen the true
character of modern whiggery,and now
1 go lor vioung Hickory" and true
Democracy. But one of the anvils
gotso used to whig jublileei in 1840
that now and then it goes off with a his
sing noise like cider fizzling out round
a bung that dosn't fit well. It flashed
so twice the other night-once for Clay
ana once tor b relinshuvsen.

THE OLD TORT SPIRIT.
The whig papers are praising up the
Native American party of Philadelphia
quite rapturously. It pains us to see a

"he Lexington Intelligencer Mr.
Clay's Ashland Organ has the follow
ing:
'With a slight transposition of letters
our locoloco mends can have l'OLIv
bALLADas their Presidential dish.''
For aught we know this-may be a
piece of Mr. Clav's wn wit. If so.
Messrs. Editors, tell him lor us, that a
plenty ot folk and Sallud is beuer than
a scarcity of "roast beef" to say noth
