Sr.vrs NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. CASE
Some six wears ago, says the Pittsburg Sum- DR..
Brisbane, then a resident OF Charleston, South
Carolina, being anxious to take up his residence
in Cincinnati, sold his slaves, twenty.seven IN
number, and moved to the latter CITY. during
his stay there he determined that he would redeem
and liberate each slave he had sold, short
time since he went to Charleston and at an ex-
pense of $4,000 more than he received for the
slaves, purchased them back again. lie then put
them on board of a vessel, and took them to Bal
timore. At Baltimore he hired al extra convey
ance for Pittsburgh where he arrived on Saturday
night last. On Sunday they were put on board
Of the Valley Forge, and started, with their ben
eiactor, for Cincinnati 1t is the intention of
Dr. Brisbane to settle them comfortable on land
which he has purchased in Hamilton County, u.
thus not only giving them their freedom, but an
advantageous start in life. 1t will be seen now,
whether they can take care of themselves

The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1844-12-06

OTBo,h Of the publishers of the "ably con-
Quoted and Jealous democratic paper" to which
the editor Of the Ottawa Free Trader alludes in
its last number, bol,ed the democratic nomina.
ton for Congress last August Chicago Dem.
We are not personally acquainted with either
of the publishers in question, and consequently
had no alluson to them as private citizens. We
spoke Of the general character of the journal I'M
der their charge, and see no reason for changing
our views by the above remarks of the Democrat.
We hail with heartfelt joy democratic journal
from any quarter of our state or nation, and nc.
gard all as equals in the grca, work before US.
With whatever misunderstanding may exist be.
tween our political contemporaries at Chicago, we
have nothing to do, and hope always to be able
so to judge as to render ability, enterprise and in
dustry just reward.
The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1844-12-06

people that the only possible means for the resto
ration OF the credit Of our state and the compile
ton OF the canal, is within thems.!ves-,hat no
important aid can be derived from the general
government and tina, We have right 10 expect it.
Common Schools, dc.--The governor recon-
mends that an agent be appointed to examine in
to our common school system and make repor,
to the legislature. The Mormon difficulties will
be treated on in separate report. Az alteration
is recommended in the Judiciary system. SO as to
give Chicago the benefit of separate court.
STATE FnanceS.-Thc message concludes by
exhibiting the financial condition of the state and
dwels at considerable length on the subject. II,
recommends that the land tax be resumed to the
state treasury. This is an important measure
and should be duly considered. In some re-.
specis it might be proper, whilst otherwise i.
might be the parent of much evil.
We are highly pleased with the general tone
Of the message, and hope to see many of its sound
views faithfully adhered to, II breatlcs the true
spri, in regard to our state debt, and if there are
not TOO many political demagogues in our legis-
lalivo halls, the people will have just cause for
rejoicing. The time has come for action, and he
who ialters is unworthy the name of a pa,rio,
and freeman. The welfare of the state for COM
ing time now rests with the legislature.
The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1844-12-06

most OF the counties could have been free
from debt with proper economy. With
them large revenue or small one would
answer the same purpose. A small one
would be sufficient, and large one is
squandered to no useful purpose.
This land tax ought to be resumed TO
the state treasury. Frequent attempts
have been made to effect this. but wi,hou,
success. The objection has always been
that there was more land taxable in the
old than in the new part of the state, and
and that the measure would be unequal.
The objection has now lost its force, and
no longer presents obstacles to this mea-
sure of true justice and economy.
| would recommend ,ha, the additional
revenues thus derived, and such addition
al tax as the legislature in their wisdom
will provide for, be formed into fund,
the proceeds and increase of which shall
be sacred, aud dedicated to the extinction
of a portion, however small a, first, of the
interest on the public debt.
Whatever we de in this way, ought to
have the greatest permancncy. There
ough, TO exist no very considerable dissa-
tistaclion in the public mind, and the nea-
rer unanimous we all are upon il, the more
permanent the measure would be. We
ought TO make il known 10 the whole
world. that whatever may be done in this
way, is all that ever will or can be done
Thus, by showing our willingness to con-
tribute according to our ability, by max
ing that our permanen, policy, not to be
added TO or subtracted from in future, and
by thus setting a limit TO The fears and
lmaglnations of men, in relation 10
the huge phantom Of expected taxes, we
might reasonably calculate to restore our
selves in the estimation of mankind, turn
the tide Of emigration again into our coun-
try, accompanied by wealth and inteIi-
gence. Land again would become of
some value. There would be a demand
for it at once, and our condition would be
improved in every respect
Every man of property in the state,
and all have less or more, ought to
desire the speedy and permanent
settlement of this question. His
property is of but little value, whilst
the fears and terrors of high taxation
prevail on one side, or unblushing,
impudent reputation, stares him in
the face, on the other.
May the Supreme Ruler of the uni
verse, enlighten our understandings,
to see what is best to promote the
true interest of our constituents, and
nerve our arms and hearts with cour-
age to do it.
THOMAS FORD.
Springfield, Dec. 2, 1874.
