So the motion was lost.
In the above the same result as in
the other cases will be found the de-

their endeavors to save bank ridden
and swindled people, from the further
frauds, and whiggery as naturally rail-
lying their forces 10 vote them down.
What have the banks of Ohio done,
that they who control them should
still feed and fatten upon the plunder
wrung from the people? Is it because
they have banded, together and set the
principles Of justice and Of law at def.
ance, and refused to pay their debts?
Is it because they have plundered once.
and twice, and thrice, that they must
have the right to plumber again? Is it
because they have show themselves
above all law, that the Lawmakers of the
land-the Representatives. ~ of a be-
trayed and swindled people-clo,he
them with powers which are only given
to the privileged bankersl These are
questions which we will leave to 9th.
ers the task of answering.
Thus have we traced whiggery in
its votes during a number Of sessions,
on this principle of of individual liabili-
ty, without which 1t is the interest Of
: bankers to act dishonesty, and in eve-
ry shape and form ia which it was pre-
sented, we find the federal bodies ar
rayed in determined hostility to it.
True to the bankers interest, and Ell
ther forge.ful or regardless Of that Of a
swindled people, federalism throws it's
elf into the breach to stay the tide Of
onward justice. While they hold the
power, bankers are free-nay they are
invited to swindle, with a full assur-
ance that whig prote ction will shield
them from justice. 1t has been so in
days past-it is 50 in days present, and
from the past and present we can see
!. nothing better for the future.

SESSION OF ls4O-,4l

-stF tits Unnecessary for US to remind our
readres that the lower branch Of the
Ohio Legislature elected, during the
campaign of 1910, was largely whig,
and it IS equally unnecessary now to
revert to the disgr aceful and demorali'
zing scenes enacted during that cons
test, as to d well upon the fact of the
money of the banks being poured out
freely to aid, not only in the election o.
.Tippecanoe and Tyler too,' but to es-
tablish upon basis. not 10 be shaken.
/. bank supremacy in Ohio Among the
choice spirits OF federalism, who was
elected during the campaign, ARlus
NYE, for his financicial talents stood at
the head of the list. When elected,
and during the time he was a member
ofthe Leglsla ature, he was stakeholder
in. director of, and an attorney for,
the Bank Of Marietta. But short
time previous to his election, he was
cashier of the same institution, but re-
signed, and a younger brother took his
place as cashier and a yet younger
brother filled the office Of Teller in the
same institution. These facts are mem
toned merely to show that Mr.. Nye
!, was too deeply interested in making
banks good for any person but those
immediatelyinterested. in making them
profitable to the banker, but not safe to
the billsholder. The Legislature, met
and organized, and this ARyUs NYE
was appointed by Mr.. Speaker Ford,
Chairman of the committee on Banks
and the Csrrsncy in the House, and to
which committee, under the rules, all
matters relating e g banks 'anks. were refer

Plain Illustrations Of the Equality Of the
Whig Tax Law.

A holds note of $4,000 against B,
which note was given in payment for
land-now this note by the law of last
winter is not subject to taxation.
B holds note Of $4,000 against A,
which was given in payment for lum-
ber-and he is compelled to return
his note as money at interest, and pay
heavy tax upon it.
Now where is the justice oftaxing
B upon the note which he holds for
lumber, while A is exempt from taxa
ton upon the note which he holds for
land? Both are receiving interest a.
like upon the amount of their notes.
and every principle of equality would
require that they should be taxed a.
like. This is one specimen of the jus
tice and equality ofthis tax law. Sup.
pose we try another. s ~
G holds note for $4,000 against d,
which was given IN payment for per-
sonal property. @ s}d
d holds note for $4,000 against @,
which was given for brick. iHa
Now, while G pays no tax upon the
note which he holds, ID is compelIedto
pay the full tax upon his, although the
profit which each derives from his note
is the same.
Again: Suppose an individual has a
capital OF $4,000. He invests IL in
Bank stock, and it is exempt from tax>
ation.-Another has $4,000 with
which he buys dry goods or groceries.
While the former is taxed upon his
profits. only, the latter is compelled to
pay tax upon both capital and profit,
| if there be any. And yet the former
may realize profit oftwenty five per
cent upon his Investments, while the
latter realizes upon his, not more than
temper cent. These illustrations might
lbe greatly extended, but the above are
4 sufficient to demonstrate the injustice
and inequality Of the existing law

ya'n examination Of the Record"
Federalism fighting against the
3. Journals. f t,tteS a5: h. sr3

!. Below will be found an article, which we
copy from on old number, Of the Ohio States
!, maj, containing the proof frem the record,
that ihe coons in the last Legislature were
determined to carry,out the old principles of
the Federal party, of granting privileges to
banks and bankers, and exempting them from
the liabilities which. attach to other. individu-
als. We have believed for long time and
we still believe that the people Of Ohio are in
favor Of placing these restrictions upon banks,
and never will they rest contensed until this
principle ia carried into effect. We are a
ware ofthe manner in which the leaders of
the Federal party meet this evidence. They
say, that ''the democrats did not act in good
faith in proposing these amendments. That
they weie gotten up for the purpose Of de-,
feating this Bilr'--and that "the democrats
would not have voted for the Bill if it had
contained the, provisions contained in the
amendments" That the doctrine that bank
stockholders should be held Individually lia>
Bile cor the debts Of the banks, none but those
who are opposed to making the people secure
against therepetition of those frauds which
have heretofore been practiced upon them by
bank -swndlers, will deny. The wings in. the
last Legislature had u majority in both branch
es and mighthave passed the bill containing
the provisions Of the amendments, if they
lad chosen SO to do, without the aid Of the
democrats, so that. neither the plea, that the
democrats sought to defeat the bill by offering
these amendments, or, that they would not
have voted for it though 1t had contained these
provisions, can excuse them for rejecting
them. 1t remains to be shown whether the
people will countenance these things
whether they will submit to see their inter
.ests and their safety against fraud, Disregard
ed by their representatives, while they are
looking entirely to the interest Of bank
speculators:--

THE LAST WISH.

The wish Of Mr. Wilson, the celebrated Om
biologist, IN regard to his burial place, is beautiful
ly expressed in the following lines.
In some wild forest shade,
Under some spreading oak or waving pine,
Or old elm feslooned with the budding vine,
Let me be laid.
In this dim lonely grot,
No foot intrusive will disturb my dust;
But Ger me songs of the wild birds shall burst,
Cheering the spot.
Not amid charneI stones,
Or collins dark and thick with ancient mould,
With tattered pail, and fringe of cankered gold,
May lest my bones.
But let the dewy rose,
The snow-drop and the violet, lend perfume
Above the spot where in my grassy tomb,
take repose.
Year after year
Within the silver birch Tree Ger me hung,
The chirpng wren shall rear her callow young,
Shall build her dwelling near.
And al the purple dawn of day,
The lark shall chant pealing song above,
And the shrl quail shall pipe ner song of love,
When eve grows dim and gray.
The bacl-hird and the thrush.
The golden orioIe shall fit around,
And waken with mellow gust of sound
The forests solemn hush.
Birds from the distant sea
Shall sometime hither flock on snowy wings,
And soar above my dust in airy rings,
Singing dirge 10 me.

THE LIFE CLOCK.

There is little mystic clock
No human eye hath seen,
That beateth on and beateth on
From morning until cen,
And when the soul is wrapt in sleep
And heareth not sound,
1t ticks and ticks the Ivelong night,
And ever runneth round,
Oh wondrous is that work of AT
Which knclls the passing hour;
But art ne'er formed or mind conceived
This life clocks magic power
Nor sc, in gold nor decked with gems,
By wealth and pride possessed,
But rich or poor, high or low,
Each bears it in his breast,
When li(e's deep stream mid beds of flower
All still and softly glides,
Like the wavelet's step, with gentle beat,
1t warns of passing tides.
When threatening darkness gathers DER,
And hopes bright visions flee,
Like the sullen stroke of the muiiled oar
1t beateth heavily.
When passion nerves the warriors arm
For deeds Of hate and wrong,
Though needed moi the fearful sound
Its kne is deep and strong.
When eyes to eyes are gazing soft,
And tender words are spoken,
Then fast and wild it rattles on,
As if with love 'twere broken.
Such is the clock thai measures life,
OF flesh and spirit blended,
And thus twill run within the heart
Till that strange tie is ended.

From the ALBANY Argus.

"Were our judgment to be formed by
the course of certain protested democratic
journals, the democratic party has nothing
like regular opposition to encounter
All Of danger that menaces it is from
certain members Of the party who do not
as is alleged come up to the modern STAN
dard of democratic perfection. Repub-
icans who are grey in the services
oftheir party and country, who never
supported federalism or federal candi-
dates, but have always stood up for dem
ocratic principles and sustained the men
designed to carry out those principles
are with such journals the standing OBJ
ject of abuse, misrepresentation and op-
position. The very name Of the party
opposed to democracy is suppressed or
overlooked in the hot haste made to des-
troy the influence and usefulness of those
who are thus marked for destruction.
1t is unnecessary to inquire into the
origin of this warfare upon prominent and
true democrats, by certain prolessed dem
ocrats, because the inquiry would result
only in proving the existence of this hos
tile feeling. Personal ambition and over
weaving thirst for power and the inhu-
ence and emoluments of office, doubtless
lie at the bottom of this crusade against
the influence and character of veteran
democrats; but be the cause what it may,
the effect is the same upon the prosperity
and integrity of the party. 1t would seem,
then, to be both wise and polite to in
quire whether it be or not more than prob
able that democratic journals have other
and higher duties to perform than the
self imposed ones of erecting imaginary
standards OF political perfection, and re-

garding and holding every one as an ene-
my who does not subscribe to this doc
trine of party prescription.
Although the State and National Ad-
minlstrations are now controlled by DEM
ocrats, and although TO outward appear
ance our party is in the "lull tide of sue
cessfn experiment" yet all experience
has shown that, victories are far more
difficult 10 preserve than to attain, and
that there is but one step from the height
of prosperity to the most hopeless and
overwhelming adversely. The signs of
the times portend a bitter and desperate
struggle. The whig party are cautiously
awaiting the opportunity to strike effect
ually, judiciousy prefarring that demo-
Gratis should destroy themselves as par
ty by creating and lomen,ing divisions in
their own ranks, If the democratic party
will commit political suicide and thus
win victory for the wings, the latter, at
the proper time, will be certain to reap
the fruits thereof. The wings we'll know
while united the democracy is impreg-
nable, and hence their strong desire that
the breach in our ranks be extended be-
yond the hope of re-union.
But short year since and the two
great parties were marshaled for the
contest. 1t is useless to say that the strife
for victory was the extent of the powers
of each, and 50 nearly we're the parties
balanced that the loss OF a single state
New-Y ork-would have given the victory
to the wings. For the success of our
cause and our principles we, as demo-
Gratis, should ever feel grateful. Every
man who voted for the democratic ticket
assisted to win the victory and is entitled
to participation in its honors and adj
vantages, And yet there are among US
men who look upon those who swelled
the popular vote and lobored manfully
and disnterestedly for the democratic
cause and ticket as no better than wings,
as totally unworthy of any share in the
general good resulting from democratic
success.
1t is time that this spirit is rebuked.-I
1t is high time that the immutable princi-
pies Of Justice prevail, and the men pro-
Tossing the same political faith and having
the same common object in view should
throw aside this contentious spirit and u.
mite in support Of the principles, meas
ures and policy Of the democratic party"
