The undersigned, having been appointed

chap. sos, require that the Judges of election
should refuse the vote of every naturalzed citi-

that Act.
I'd, If the said Act of the Legislature does
require the stamping of each certificate of ma
turalizatlon, as condition to the reception of
the vote by the judges of election, then is the
same act in conformity with the Constitution Of

"Our Flag is there" !"
VEN Ma, OHIO:

We this day hoist the name of that distin-
guished and true Democrat, DAVID TOD, as
candidate for Governor in '46. There is
not man in Ohio, who would fill the gaber
ma torial CHAIR with more credit to himself and
more acceptaby to the people tllan DAVID
TOP. THERE'S not man in the State who
could have run the Coons as close a race in
"a as did this true-hearted Democrat, and
there is no one who can be as sure of success
in '46. We are assured that Mr.. Tod is not
urgent that his name should be brought be>
fore the people at the next Gubernatorial
election, yet we are confident that it is the
desire of the whole democracy that he be
their candidate, and with him we are sure to
succeed, He must be the nert Governor Of
Ohio.
DAVID TOP was beaten in "A by the most
foul means. Charges as false as their au
thors were brought against him. But in AS
DAVID TOP will not be stranger to the peo-
pie of Ohio. .. sa
Many of the Democratic papers of the
State have already hoisled his name and there
can scarcely be doubt that the remainder

Let there be Union.

1t is hardly possible, where there are many
names brought before convention for Mons
ination 10 the same office, that the friends OF
all should be perfectly satisfied with the Sc
lections made, yet, after The nominations are
made, if the convention has nominated such
as are honest, capable, and true to the prin-
cipleS of Democracy, it is the duty of every
democrat TO yield hearty support to each
and all the nominations made. That the
several candidates placed before the people
of this County on the first inst, for their
suArages, are in all respects. worthy men and
capable of performing the duties of the sew
eral Offices for which they have been nomin,
ated, their bitterest opponents will not deny.
If every true democrat, then be up and active,
IN endeavonng to secure the success of these
candidates, we shall see the principles ofright
and equality triumphant, in ''Old Portage" on
the ed Tuesday Of October next.
We commend the following well timed arr
ticle upon the Importance Of harmony in the
ranks of the Democracy, which we copy from
the Cadiz Sentinel, to the Democracy of this
County: H.s5 -..s 5e.ec.. ..-..e .....-
every good democrat, after the nom.
nations are made whether he be disap-
pointed or not as to the result, will do
all in his powerto secure the succe IS Of
the nominees. The glory Of Rome, land
not the welfare Of Cesar was the ad-
mirabIe motto Of the republican citizens
Of ancient Rome. PRINCIPLES, AND
NOT MEN, is a cardinal maxim in the
creed Of every genuine American Dem
ocrat. The meref election of an in
dividual is nothings but the triumph ol
Truth and Principle and Right is every
thing. Sometimes an individual may be
nominated for an Office, towards whom
we feel no particular Partially, and IN
such cases it sometimes becomes neces.
sary to make many sacrifices, in order
to secure the ascendency of democratic
measures." e,- .,..s.,.. r.g., ,-fI.

For the PORTAGE Sentinel.

MEssRs. EDITaRs:-I perceive you are de-
termined not to bow down and worship my
angelic Friend ABBY KELLEY. Some sprg
of democrat, through the Sentinel, gave
some reasons in opposition to the great prin>
ciples ofmy friend. Many consumate scoun-
drels, like him, have reasoned in favor of that
Internal Instrument, the American Constitu-
ton, Washington did and Franklin did; and
Jeferso and Madison, and Jackson, and all
those abomnable hypocrites, who opposed
that great and glorious nation of British phi
lanthropists, in both of our unnatural strug-
giles against that most free and christian ma
ton. Now will give you q specimen of
the reasoning such Of wretches: #at m
"Once our country consisted Of several dis
united States. These States were then all
Independent sovereignties. No one was ac-
conntabe to the rest, in relation to its internal
regulations. Each have the sovereign power
to make and enforce its laws in Its own way,
being amenable only to God. Different laws
then prevailed in different States. Slave
laws exstedin many of them; and Slaves
were held. The States upheld different in.
stitutions. and were governed by different
views and interests. But there were some
interests common to them all. Divided, they
were exposed to foreign invasion, and to con-
flcts among themselves. For this reason, it
was thought advisable to form Union of the
States, by creating a General Government.
This Government was to act only on those
matters and interests which were common to

The Debt Of Texas,

To console those who apprehend thai
the United States will be involved il
the payment of the debt of Texas, and
receive nothing In return but her pub
lie lands, a writer in The N. Y.Journa
of Commerce affords the following con-
ciliatory information:--- ...~
"The entire debt OF Texas is between
ten and thirteen millions of dollars. Its
public domain comprises 36,O0O,OOO
acres, s5,O0O,OOO of which are as fine
lands as ever drank in rain and sunshine
These lands are embarrassed by only
two small grants-one to Mr.. Fisher
for the Germanic Association, and the
other called the Castro (or French
grant. The conditions of the only 9TH
er grant by the Texas Government,
to Mr.. Mercer, have not been com.
piled with, and his title is consequently
void, as is also the case with all the
Mexican Emprrssario grants, except
that to Austin. The Texans are now
selling their lands at 81 an acre, paya-
bic in the debt, and they will no more
give us their lands upon the condition
Of our paying their debt than they will
exchange anything else with us-giving
much and taking little. The time was
perhaps, when the United States might
have obtained the public domain Of Tex
as upon condition of paying the debt.
The time was, too, when Texas would
have agreed to the exclusion Of slavery
from one halfher whole territory; but
the furious outcry against an event
which every wise man saw from the
beginning 10 be inevitable, has lost us
all the advantages which might have
been secured in the mode of Texas an
nexatlon. a..
The Indian title to Texas lands is OF
no Importance. There are no Indians.
in fact, located upon them. The Ca.
manches roam about from place tc
place, claiming every thing upon which
they can lay their hands. We exclu.
ded the debt and lands from the con
cract ourselves; and the good men who
have so long and earnestly contended
against annexation may take comfor,
that all their forebodings Of evil have
already come to nothing excepting wal
with Mexico, which is still very doubt
full, and that the real evils Of annexation
are OF their own prosurlng."

"By their Fruits shall ye know them"

Politicians of all parties, whether Demo-
Gratis, Coons, or Aboltionists, profess to have
great deal ofregard for equality, and they
all profess to hold to the good Democratic
maxim that, ,."the blessings of government,
like the dews Of Heaven, should be dispen.
sed alike to the rich and the poor, the high
and the low" They all believe that in all
legislative enactments the interest OF the
whole people is to be consulted, aud that the
object should be the comforting Of benefits
upon the whole people regardless Of wealth
or employment. Though this be the pro-
fcssion of all, it is not true that all poitica
parties seek TO secure this end in their leg
islatiye action. There is no better or surer
method of testing the sincerity Of these pro-
.fessions than by referring to the public acts
of these political parties when they have
obtained the ascendency. The democrats
have had occasion in more instances than one,
to refer to The partial and unjust Legislation
Of the federal Coons; and as one among the
many acts of that party which manifests the
inslncerity of these professions we have here>
torore referred to the law passed by the Coon
Legislature of last winter, denoninated "tlie
Tax Law" The objects in the passage oi
this law,was 10 bring OIL the duplicate for tax
alton, certain property. which, had heretofore
been exempt from taxation. We said the
object in the passage cf this law--we should
have said the excuse for its passage. Il =
Had this law been SO con structed as to
have brought on the Tax duplicate aH prop
erty, money at interest, &c. and taxed il
equally and alike, we should find less grount
for complaint. But such Is not the case; for
by that law, all property, or the hall of al
property, money at interest, capital IN trade
SIC. &C., must pay a tax in the County o.
Portage Of cent and three mills upon the
dollar, which is equal to 8,63 mills upon The
full valuation of such property, &c., while
had we one of Kellev's Banks established ir
our county, by the Goth Section Of the rs sec.
ton law (the Bank not being taxed by the
Tax Law,) "Each Banking Company estab
lished under this act. or accepting thereo
and complying with its provisions, shall semi
annually, on the days designated in the 5stI
section for declaring dividends, set off to tn.
