Where questions of importance in connection with our institutions and government are concerned, it becomes citizens to consider them as far as possible divested of prejudice and party pride. No matter to what set of opinions or associations men may be attached, it is their duty as guardians of the state and trustees for posterity, to act only on a full conviction that they are right, and that the men in whose hands they lodge political power, with its great responsibilities, are upright and competent. At the present moment these considerations should most especially influence every mind. The state has reached a turning point in its existence. Upon the votes . says :— of its citizens now depends the question whether the present administration has abused power for purposes of corruption or not; and if it shall be sustained or repudiated. Party ties are strong in a republic, and men dislike to break them—but they have their origin in principle, and when lost to principle should be broken. We therefore ask attention of ati while we shall show that the administration has thus deserted principles of right and patriotism, and created a need of reform that should cause every consciencious voter to decide against it. Gov. Bigler has just made two speeches in this county. Many that read this heard his defense. We notice those points he deemed necessary to defend, reserving for a subsequent article those points in his administration which even he did’ not attempt to excuse. The point he was most anxious to illustrate to his advantage was the extension scheme of last winter. He claimed he was not responsible for the bill pending in the legislature—that he did not recommend it. His annual message shows that he first suggested extension, thus opening a way for the project, evincing his disregard for vested rights, but leaving to his partizans in the legislature the shaping of the scheme into its details. One principal objection to extension is that it sets aside vested rights. Individuals have paid in good faith large sums of money br water front property, on a pledge of the state, and it is most nefarious for the state to violate its pledge and destroy the value of this property. To such a purpose is Gov. Bigler directly committed in his message. But the bill that passed the House and failed in the Senate gave two-thirds of the proeceds of asale into the hands of speculators, and but one-third to the state. It was a gigantic plan to steal millions from the people to divide among partizans. Gov. Big!er denies his responsibity for this, but the very men who now are canvassing the state for him, and seeking by all means to elect him, are they who introduced and urged forward this nefarious bill. Me Means, the clique candidate for Treasurer, was especially its supporter and voted to engraft on it is worst provisions. P. K. Hubbs, who is his colleague on the state ticket was the grand parent of the bill in the Senate. The supporters of Bigler are identified with the bill to the fullest extent, and have entered no recantation. There is no guarantee that this same bill wili not ass another democratic legislature, if one is elected, and that the election of Bigler will not be urged as the sanction of the ople of the measure. When the water ot bill was at its crisis in the Senate, Gov. Bigler sent in aspecial message urging the low finances of the state, thus using his official position as a spur to this very bill which it was falsely contended was designed to relieve the state. It is not fair or manly for him to throw off his partizans in this measure. The responsibility of this bill, giving millions of the people's property in to the hands of political speculators, belongs to him and his partizans, and the records of the state must be falsified to wipe out the fact. Gov. Bigler further attempted to show that the state debt had been increased but $100,000 during his administration. He admitted $300,000, but struck off $200,000 as a debt that would be paid by Congress. If it can be shown that this statement has no foundation in fact does it not place Gov. Bigler in the unenviable light of attempting to shield his extravagance by practising on the credulity of the people? Let us look at the facts. See Comptroller’s report to the Legislature last December, by which it will be seen that the total ex. penditures of the state for the year ending . . June 30th, 1852, were $925,964 56, while the whole receipts of revenue for the same time were only $366,826 07 ; the state beThe Dedge Carried Out. ing thus for that single year of Bigler's. GOV.

Where questions of importance in connection with our institutions and government are concerned, it becomes citizens to consider them as far as possible divested of prejudice and party pride. No matter to what set of opinions or associations men may be attached, it is their duty as guardians of the state and trustees for posterity, to act only on a full conviction that they are right, and that the men in whose hands they lodge political power, with its great responsibilities, are upright and competent. At the present moment these considerations should most especially influence every mind. The state has reached a turning point in its existence. Upon the votes . says :— of its citizens now depends the question whether the present administration has abused power for purposes of corruption or not; and if it shall be sustained or repudiated. Party ties are strong in a republic, and men dislike to break them—but they have their origin in principle, and when lost to principle should be broken. We therefore ask attention of ati while we shall show that the administration has thus deserted principles of right and patriotism, and created a need of reform that should cause every consciencious voter to decide against it. Gov. Bigler has just made two speeches in this county. Many that read this heard his defense. We notice those points he deemed necessary to defend, reserving for a subsequent article those points in his administration which even he did’ not attempt to excuse. The point he was most anxious to illustrate to his advantage was the extension scheme of last winter. He claimed he was not responsible for the bill pending in the legislature—that he did not recommend it. His annual message shows that he first suggested extension, thus opening a way for the project, evincing his disregard for vested rights, but leaving to his partizans in the legislature the shaping of the scheme into its details. One principal objection to extension is that it sets aside vested rights. Individuals have paid in good faith large sums of money br water front property, on a pledge of the state, and it is most nefarious for the state to violate its pledge and destroy the value of this property. To such a purpose is Gov. Bigler directly committed in his message. But the bill that passed the House and failed in the Senate gave two-thirds of the proeceds of asale into the hands of speculators, and but one-third to the state. It was a gigantic plan to steal millions from the people to divide among partizans. Gov. Big!er denies his responsibity for this, but the very men who now are canvassing the state for him, and seeking by all means to elect him, are they who introduced and urged forward this nefarious bill. Me Means, the clique candidate for Treasurer, was especially its supporter and voted to engraft on it is worst provisions. P. K. Hubbs, who is his colleague on the state ticket was the grand parent of the bill in the Senate. The supporters of Bigler are identified with the bill to the fullest extent, and have entered no recantation. There is no guarantee that this same bill wili not ass another democratic legislature, if one is elected, and that the election of Bigler will not be urged as the sanction of the ople of the measure. When the water ot bill was at its crisis in the Senate, Gov. Bigler sent in aspecial message urging the low finances of the state, thus using his official position as a spur to this very bill which it was falsely contended was designed to relieve the state. It is not fair or manly for him to throw off his partizans in this measure. The responsibility of this bill, giving millions of the people's property in to the hands of political speculators, belongs to him and his partizans, and the records of the state must be falsified to wipe out the fact. Gov. Bigler further attempted to show that the state debt had been increased but $100,000 during his administration. He admitted $300,000, but struck off $200,000 as a debt that would be paid by Congress. If it can be shown that this statement has no foundation in fact does it not place Gov. Bigler in the unenviable light of attempting to shield his extravagance by practising on the credulity of the people? Let us look at the facts. See Comptroller’s report to the Legislature last December, by which it will be seen that the total ex. penditures of the state for the year ending . . June 30th, 1852, were $925,964 56, while the whole receipts of revenue for the same time were only $366,826 07 ; the state beThe Dedge Carried Out. ing thus for that single year of Bigler's. GOV.
