At Chi- cago Gen, Heatty hearty approved of Mr. Rol ertson’s course, and cousistensy should prompt him to heartily indorse Mr. Robertson's appoint: ment tn the Coniicctorship, Of the other signers to the above alleged dispatch wo know nothing, and care less, ‘The Register, without doubt, expresses the opluion of the Republiean party in Ohio to- day.

Gen, Foster, having large business Interests, and being well informed as to how the credit {the State stood in New York, insisted that It could be done: and, upon his earnest udyice, the authority was granted — by ie Legislature, Murk the result. Two million eight hundred thousand dollars’ worth of4 per cont bonds have been sold at par,—the party buying them papinga premium of $105,000, ‘This reduces the Interest to dq. per cent—certalnly showing that, under un able and wise ndiniutstration of the State Government, capitalists are not at all afratd to Invest. The Democratic papers have, during the past two months, been putting the question: “Why don’t the capitalists crab at Cunrley Foster's tinanelal scheme ?” but all of a sud- den, they have become silent. Under Foster the Statu has enjoyed an honest adnninistration, expenses have been cutslown, and taxation reduced. ‘These ar- guments will havea most persuasive etfect on the people, and nothing short of fire and Yamlne will defeat the Ohio Republicans in October next.
