During the session of the last Legislature, Res
oluton was passed, calling the Treasurer for the
names of the debtors to the Literary and Internal
Improvement Funds. The wings at frst were
alarmed at the proposition, and evinced great
deal of horror at exposing the names Of the debt
ors -; but finding it would operate greatly against
them to vote down the Resolution, they consented
by tacking on Resolution, to appoint Commute
to inquire into the solrency of the debtors. But
mark the duplicity of the whggery. They made a
great flourish in passing the Resolution, knowing
that they had door to creep out at. The Treasur-
er reported that he had the Bonds and therefore
could not give the names. The Resolution was
then re-considered and laid on the table. The
'swhigs" h I'd, during the electoneering canvass,
published the fact where it was known that Demo
crats had borrowed of this fund.- and greatly exag-
gerated the case; bat when they had the power to
mete out even handed justice, they faultered-be-
cause justice would not suit their purposes of de-
ception and humbug. The Treasurer would have
had difficulty in obtaining the Information from
the Governors Office; as we understand he had
on other matters. The people had right to know
the names of the debtors-it is their money, and
the creditor certainly hasa right to know the name
of his debtor. Bat this would not suit the "whgs,'
as the members of their party are undoubtedly the
largest borrowers and they could not think of ex-
posing their own eectioneering fasehoods by their
own Legislative acts
