Tho secret circular issued by the Whig State
Central Committee announces tho success of tina.
party by saying, that Ohio has . repudiated those
who would tarnish the honor and brin the dis
grace Of reputation upon our State,, The
Findlay Herald (Whig) echoes their language
and doubtlessthe whole federal pack will con-
tnue the howl Of ropudiation and anthems for
salvation therefrom. This care Of the whig
leaders for the holders Of State stocks snd the ner.
vousness about their interests that overleaps
all truth in lis eagsrnsss in their behalf, is strong
evidence, taken in connection with the exemp-
tons Of the Infamous tax law, tha. monied

The idea that u Alfred's Kelley's tax law was
either modified or repealed, the legislative
ability of the State would bo oxhaustsd, and tha,
there could exist no choice betweon that law
and ropu pudiation,is ubouias far renewed from alb
sardity as to suppose that the next cid lady who
fills her tea kettle from the Ohio will exhaust ito

Of the burdens of taxation of the State, with

sity or how important the crisis, even 10 furnish
means to check rebellion or repel invasion, would
have been a sacrifice ofprinciple not common with
our noble Demoeracy Yet the begging the oon-
sent of Bankers by the whigs to a change OF
taxaiisn,und acquieacence in their refusal,was an
admission that that party had rendered bank in.

demanded by the true intent Of our institutions;
and if the corrspt and dangerous precedent could
in no other way be reached, REPEAL would be in
ifinitely preferable 10 its existencs and because
the De mocratic sahctisn has been refused to this
infamous precedent the charge Of liquidation is
mouthed against the party BY the whig leaders.
( No Dsmocratic Press has ever advocated di.
rectly or indirectly the application Of this prin-
ciple to any public debt t,honestly ndsgally con-
Htrac,ed. And W. know Of no State in the Unisn,

In New York, constitutional provision for ths
payment Of the public debt has been made,
giving the highest safeguard known to legisla-
ten against repudiation. This was dsns by
Democrats, against the bitter opposition Of the
wings, who like repudatien as a bugbear, but
are willing TO practice il whenever it suits their
convenience The assumption Of sase Debts
was measure Cor the virtual Reputation Of the
debts Of individual States, and designed to cast
them upon the Unon as lavge, and upon those
states whohad part in consrnc,ngthe debts 10 be
paid out Of the public Treasury. This kind Of
indirect Reputation was proposed in the Ohio
Legislature in 1913, By Chambers, Of Muskin-
gum, and metths support Of every whig pressnt
on the occasion. By this ii will be perceived
that refusal by State to pay the debts which
it contracts 10 not repudiation in whig eyes,
