AN EARNEST APPEAL TO WHIG VO-
TIERS!

Appears in the Cleveland Herald of last week.
We quote q portion Of it below.-Confdent
do we trust that such appeals will meet with a
response on the Reserve worthy of its intelligent
and warm hearted wings. We would take up
the buglc note, and sound it again and again un-
til every honest voter in Ohio is made sensible
that the battle approaches and is fully awakened
to sense of duty, to a consciousness of the re-
sponsblity that rests upon him individually, as
one of the only sovereigns that we are willing to
know and recognize. We would have every
whig prove himself worthy of the privileges con-
lerred upon him. We would have him think
and ACT-think of the consequences of a res
toraton of Locoioco rule--think of and exam
inc the issues to be decided act out his honest con-
pictionS! We ask nothing more. If whig leg
isaton as compared with that of the opposition,
will not commend itself to an honest, rejecting
man, we say let it fall to the ground. We fear
not the strictest test truth can apply.
The Herald alludes to the fact that Judge of
the Supreme Court is TO be elected next winter.
The importance Of this fact is not overrated.
Every man is interested in having good, honest
and capable Judge elected. A Secretary and
Treasurer of State are also to be elected next
winter. Who does not feel the importance OF
having faithful, reliable man in each of these
offices, more especially in the latter. With a
whig Legislature next winter we shall anticipate
still shorter session than the last. Twomonths
will be amply sufficient to do all that is to be
done. With Loco(oco Legislature, we may
expect to see extending through three months and
half the. work of undoing, oyerthrowing, m.
settling and destroying! Are the epeople Of Ohio
prepared for thisl-Wo will not believe it. We
will not insult them by the suspicion. But, we
would remind them that there is work, self-de
nying laborious work to bo performed, and we
have but little more than one month to do it in
We have received information that our oppo
ncnts have their emssaries out in almost every
county, secretly at work weaving plot to stea
into power by an avowal Of sentiment suited Il
each particular meridian! and by the dissemina
) ton of false and garbled documents! They arr
! seeking poison the minds Of those who live II
the remote portions Of the various counties, il
reference to the Tax Law and also in referenc,
10 the Black Laws, hoping that such will not b.
seen and undeceived unnl they have accomplish
I ed their work! Men are actually hired to rid,

Let them remember that this war was entirely
unnecessary, for any purpose, except TO secure
Texas proper for the shareholders, and to con-
quer the other Mexican territory this side of the
Rio Grade.
Let them remember, That the war grew ex-
clusively out of annexation Of Texas and that
until Save-hodng Democracy demanded that
Annexation should be made part Of the demo-
cratic creed, the leaders at the north were decl,
dedly opposed to it. But when party demanded
that freedom should give way to slavery, in Tex
as, these same leaders turned to the right about
Immediately.
Let them remember, That the Democratic
party stands pledged (by the terms of annexa'
ton,) to admit four more slave states, from tins
Texas territory, whenever such admission is de-
manded, and that it will be done, if that party is
in power.
Let them remember these things, and then let
them vote for Locofoco members of Congress,
if they wish slavery to be still further extended.

From the Kennebec Journal.
LET THE PEOPLE REMEMBER,

That the appropriations made at the recent
session of Congress, amount TO fifty one millions
five hundred thousand dollars, of which twenty
three millions were expressly for the slavehold-
ers war with Mexico; and that some ten millions
more will be necessary for that purpose, when
the bills are settled, even if the war stops now!
Let them remember, That in the face of this
enormously increased expenditure, Locofoco
Congress has passed a bill ''to reduce the duties
on imports" and thereby diminish the revenue
of the country; and that the expenses of the
present year will exceed the revenue at least
FORTY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS-and all
this for a war that will not benefit the North one
cent,

beast or for man. lIis true that the trading COM
panies perform the journey with pack-mules, but
under embarra1smenls that an army would find
it difficult to surmount. They are forced to pro.
vide themselves with provisions for the entire
journey before leaving Santa re, and '~isl to the
enduring nature Of their animals, with what lit
tie browse they can pick dp along the passes for
their existence. The paths are narrow, broken,
steep and winding-so much so that baggage
trains must be dispensed with, 81 old trapperswill
tell young artillery officers that TO transport their
heavy pieces will be at least an undertaking that
promises any thing but an expeditions journey to
the Pacific.
Then where are the rations TO come from
which are to supply the large force that the Gov.
eminent have ordered over our South. Western
border into the enemy's country; that country
not furnishing sufficient food for it TO subsist on,
after conquest is madei
Our Government should have taken this into
consideration before sending it forward, and have
provided against the suffering that we fear will
of necessity follow the expedition in conse.
quence of a scanty supply Of provisions for its
subsistence.
When the unfortunate Texas expedition was
expected at Santa Fe in the Fall Of l84l, the OH
y fear entertained by its friends there was that
there was not enough food in and about the place
to keep the force atire until Spring, ifthey took
possession oft, and it must be remembered that
this force consisted of only 450 men, while Gen.
Kearney has as many thousands as that had hun
dreds.
We repeat, that unless the Government sends
forward a sufficient supply of food to sustain the
force until about the middle of nert july, the
troops will suffer sadly for provisions. As to
the horses of the command, they will soon go
the way of all the living. And our word for it,
the officers as we'll as men, will regard them
selves as extremely fortunate if they return
on iackasses rather than neighing steeds, instead
of being under the necessity of footing it for a
thousand miles or more to reach ''sweet home"
when the war is over.

WILL HE ANSWER!

The Statesman Of Monday contains the pro-
ccedings of q Locoloco Convention held in Sci
oto county for the nomination of candidate for
Representative. &c. At that Convention the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted and is publish with
the proceedings in the Statesman:-
Resolved, That the Central Committee of Sci
oto county be requested TO address a letter TO
David Tod, Esqr., requesting him to state his
views in relation to the repeal of the Black Lacs
Of Ohio.
Will David Tod answer the inquiries of this
committee? If so, will they dare make the an.
swer publicl We wish to have the fact marked
throughout the State, that a Locoloco Conven-
ton has asked David Tod to avow his sentiments
sin relation to the repeal of the Black LawsP'
This is an admission that his views are unknown.
Mr.. Tod cannot refuse to answer an inquiry thus
made, without insulting the LocoIocos OF Sclo-
to county. But, the answer should be as public
us the inquiry. Every honest, fair dealing men
will say so. The Locofocos of Scioto county
have taken ground just the reverse Of that taken
in Medina county by the same party, few days
since! What course, under these circumstances,
will David Tod takel The people of the Re-
serve, to some of whom he has said that he is in
favor of the repeal of the black laws, as ace are
ready to prore, have a right to know whether he
has different sentiments for Scoo county!
They have a right to know whether he is play
ing double game and means to deceive and be-
tray them! Will he come out maniully on the
question us Mr.. Bebb has done, or will he write
letter intended to be used on the eve Of election
in Scioto and the Southern counties Of the State,
against repeal when it is too late for the Reserve
to understand the game that has been played'
We would sound a warning in the ears of the
honest yeomanry of Ohio against such lraud
Let them mark we'll the result, and if an attempt
is made to trine with them teach the man who al
tempts ta lesson worthy of virtuous and free
peoplc4 We practice no deceit! We skulk nc
issues! The people of Ohio know this and they
will Indignantly spurn as unworthy Of their sui
lrages one who attempts different course. Tc
suppose otherwise, would imply that they love tc
be cheated and are willing to be imposed upor
and mised!-O. S. Journal.

"hook, too, at the injustice practiccd under Mr..
Clay's Tariff. Costly Madeira Wines pau but
81 per cent; under Mr.. Walkers bill they pav

Is not this arocious! Time and again has
the fact been shown that Madeira Wines are
charged Siriy cents per gallon by the Tariff OF
40 Gully equal to forty per cent? and that the
practical reduction to five or six per cent. wa,
was by a Locofoco Secretary Of the ncasarl
orersetting this clause of The Tariff FIVE ana

b,ion of figures, showing the amount Of properly

pared il with the Auditors books, and found it
irueto the letter. How we larmershayeb beende-
fraudod BY the abuse ofthe law, bythose who sold
goods and loaned money. | wish every farmer
in the county would read that article, and ponder
well the effect Of the matters contained in it. II
the true amount of properly had been returned
for the last ten years, we should not have paid
more than twenty cents for a horse, or half the
time nothing. Just think of nincty-fye thousand
dollars of money at interest and merchants cap.
tal escaping taxation altogether; and that thirteen
thousand dollars, in your town, owned by four in.
diyiduals, should escape, righti where all the
business Of the county is done. I'll venture one
thing, that the widows COW that subsists the or.
