STATE PRINTER.
A writer in the "Intelligencer" of yesterday appears to think that the late election of "State Printer" under the law creating that office is null and void. That the public may determine how far the opinions of "Tyro" can be supported by the law itself, the following extract is communicated, from an "Act to amend, and supplementary to the act, entitled an act for the appointment of a State Printer, and defining his duties," passed December 22d, 1827.
The first section provides, "That there shall be appointed by joint ballot of both Houses of the General Assembly at the present session thereof, and by a majority of all the votes given, a State Printer, whose term of service shall commence on the first day of July next, and who shall serve for the term of three years thereafter and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified-unless sooner removed by a resolution of the General Assembly for neglect of duty or misconduct in office."—
Same section further provides that in case of death or resignation during the recess of the General Assembly, the Governor shall have power to fill such vacancy, by the appointment of a printer to serve until the first day of July, next succeeding the next session of the General Assembly.
The second section authorizes the Governor to appoint a State Printer to serve from the close of the session to the first day of July, 1828.
The third section provides-That the State Printer, before entering on the duties of his office, shall give the security required by the act passed January 28th, 1825, referred to by "Tyro," and thereafter shall perform the duties, and be entitled to such fees and emolument, as are or may hereafter be provided for by law.
It appears to me that if "Tyro" will refer to the act cited above, which may be seen by reference to the 26th volume of the Laws of Ohio, pages 6 and 7, he will have no further difficulty to satisfy his mind, or public opinion, as to the right of the present incumbent to all the fees and emoluments appertaining to the office of "State Printer."

Tyro, Jun.
Main Argument
the recent election of state printer is valid under the 1827 ohio law, which provides for appointment by joint ballot of the general assembly, with terms and provisions for vacancies; this counters 'tyro's' claim of nullity.
