This table furnishes full and complete
refutation of the statement Of MIR Bebb and
the figures Of Mr.. Cowen; and will show
the people the base character Of the impo-
sition which the whig leaders would palm
upon them. 1t will be seen:
lst. That not one Of these measures re-
ceived anything like the entire vote Of the
democartc members.
I'd. That neither Of them received q
sufficient number of democratic votes
to pass it through either House.
Sd. That except the Walhondipg Canal,
in the Senate, every bill had q majority Of
both parties in each House; and
4th. That saving the same exception, the
negative whig vote throughout is 90 very
small ,as to almost entitle the WHIG VOTE
to be called the act of the party in tho afiir-
native. Thus of 81 whig votes east on the
Miami Extension canal, there are but six
in the negative. Of IS upon the Warren
county canal, but2 in the negative. OF
81 upon the Hooking canal, but 5 in the
negative. Of40 on the Muskingum Inn
.provement, but Q in the negative. Of %
upon Wills Greek Improvement, but 8 in
the negative. And Of 46 upon the Turn

imitted to the Senate in secret session, and
it passed that body by the votes of all the
Senators present, except six. All the lead
ing whig Senators voted for the bill. On
Saturday night, August 8, It passed the
House Of Representatives. On Monday
morning the bill was introduced in the Sem
ate, at about half past IL o'clock. On the
question Of its third reading Mr.. Davis OBJ
tained the floor and commenced speaking
against the bill. Inthe course Of his speech,
Mr.. Lewis frequently requested him to give
way for moment, to allow him Mr.. Lew
is) to offer resolution, resembling the joint
resolution under the operation Of which
both Houses would be compelled to adjourn
at 10 O'Clock. MIR. Davis declined to give
way, promising however, to give way time
enough to permit the resolution to be offer
ed. Mr.. Lewis stood up three or four times,
and entreated Mr.. Davis to give way. -Four
or five voices from the whig side Of the
chamber cried out mo, no. and Mr.. Davis
went on until word was brought that the
House had adjourned. He then sat down
Now, it was evident to every person in thu
Senate that Mr.. Davis was speaking ngains
time. The fact was too palpable to be mis-
taken. Half the time his speech occupied
he was merely repeating what he had SAT-
the other half and the idea of speaking a
that time to defeat the bill by argumen
was totally absurd.
We believe no man regrets the conrs'
of Mr.. Davis in this affair so much as h
, does himself. The mode which he adopt
ed of defeating this bill was utterly unwol
thy the dignity of Senator Of the Unite
States, and would be pronounced contempt
ible in boys debating society. 1t onl
shows how far men Of the most exalte
characters will go to CRAFTY party feeling

Farmers Taxes,

The Star has very valuable contribu-
tor who has taken the pains to 60 to the
Auditors Office, and get the "facts from the
record" that the tax on land is less this
year than it was last. We have been re.
minded often by this whig journal that
there was vast increase in the amount of
the personal property &c. brought up
on the list this year over tho amount on
last year, and every one knows that there
has been no alteration either in the amount
OR valuation of the landed property since
''tax gathering" last year-and, of course,
with the same amount of tax to be paid, in
the county, the tax upon land must be di.
minished. But if MIR. "K. r." or any
other whig supposes that the same will be
the case when the landed property is taxed
at its new valuation he deceives himself.
We have not the figures at hand, but we
believe the amount of personal property on
the list is not far from double that of 1914,
and some part of this should be counted as
the natural increase ofa toiling, industrious,
and economical people. Now, "K. r."
may easily satisfy himself by "dropping
into the Auditors ofice' that the landed
property of the county is valued at nearly
If not three times its former valuation, and
it cannot be otherwise than that the tax
upon land will be increased under this law.
This law has no application to landed
property whatever the present year, and
we have said so often. But for the purpose
Of illustrating our position to the satisGac.
ton and comprehension Of "K. R." and
those whom he has undertaken to deceive

Cowen Bebb--State Debts.

Bebb, in his stump speeches, charges up
on the Democracy the creation ofour State
debts, and declares his party are not to
blame in the premises.
Mr.. Cowen asserts shat it was determin-
ed eraly in the session Of l645 to stop the
increare of our State debt Why did he
not honestly inform the people, that the
great blow given to this increase of debt
was by the repeal ofthe 'Plunder Act by
Democratic legislature? And does he not
know the fact? Is whiggery forever to
pocket our good deeds, as an offset to its
o,cn sins9 And how unmanly is it for Mr..
Cowen and others, directly or indirectly, to
charge the Democrats with all the debts Of
the State. Mr.. Mr.. c. knows that his or
gans state falsehood, when the thing is
asserted, as it is in his party organs. We
ask him to answer, If he can, q few ques-
tons: Did the Democrats in the legislature,
from 1886 up, vote for all the canals, turn
pixies and slackwater navigation; and did
the Federal members vote against them?
Such is the insinuation by some, and the d.
rect charge by others. Did Democrats alone
vote for the increase Of $l4,0 ,00O, 900 of debt
since that period, and as a party measure
as insinuated, and as boldly stated by the
menducious organs of whiggery? Did the
Democratic party create the debt arising
from hundreds Of thousands Of dollars sunk
by WHIG Fund Commissioners, from the
sale of State stocks at SO cents on the dol
lar? Did the Democrats vote for the new
bank law which is based on our State debtse
Did they vote to squander millions on a
gigantic State House? Did they when in
power, let the public works run down, as
they did last year, so that the tolls will not
pay the expenses Of repairs? DID the Dem
ocrats vote to make new batch of officers
to eat out the substance Of the people, or
raise the salaries Of large number Of old
officers, and did they vote to enrich few
party hacks, who are sitting as boards Of
investigation, at the rate Of $4,000 a year,
when their exposures on the public works
all tend to impeach themselves9
But as the slang Of Bebb, Kelley & CO.,
relative to the creation ofthe public works,
and State debts, we give the following table
Of facts, and accompanying reproof from

upon this subject, we will suppose that he
has money at interest 70 the amount of
$4,000, which, under the old law, he has
managed to assess at $1,000, (not very
unnatural supposition, by the way, for one
who manifests so much anxiety TO deceive
the people into the belief that this iniquitss
Gus measure was designed for the special
benefit of the farmer,) and that his neigh
Dor "Grumbletorian" has farm close by
him which has been valued ut $1,000. Now
under the new law Mr.. "K. R." is bound
to assess his whole $4,000 under oath, and
the man with the ''sausage suffer" comes
to the farm of Mr.. 'Grumbletorian' and as
sesses it at its value in cash, $3000--the
tax to be collected from these two amounts
is, say $50. Mr.. "K. R." if he be an
adept in Calculation can very easily tell
how much each will have to pay Of this
amount, and whether himself or his neigh,
Dor 'Grumbletorian' will have gained "a
the operation; but to save him the troubie,
we say, that notwithstanding his desire 70
defraud the State out of the revenue on
$1,000 of his capital, he is greatly the gain
er by the change in the law; because had
the law remained unchanged he would
have had one half or $25 dollars Of the
tax to pay, while under the new law he will
be compelled to pay but t'coJJths, or S2O-
while farmer "Grumbletorian" will be
compelled to pay $50 instead of$25. Ant
1 this is the manner in which the farmer il
to be benefited by the operations of thi'
d great 'relief measure" Of the wings. We
0 shall endeavor to pursue this matter farther
:, : when we shall present some "facts from
a the record" which we think will satisfy any
It unprejudiced whig, democrat, or no-party
II man, that this law was not designed to ben
% eft the Farmer.
And in the mean time we would say I,
" tx. r." and the editor of the Star, and al
Q . others flike precious faith" that our can

A Letter from a Whig.
! For tLe Portage iSentinel.

Mr.. EDlToR:-Permit me to make one
remark through the medium Of your paper.
The genius Of Liberty, and Equality
harbors not in all their wide domains one
Of those offensive excrescences, termed
aristocrats. It is nevertheless true how
ever, thatsome stif.necked miscreants, who
are exotics from land where thrones, and
yassalage strangely commingle may occa-
sionally be- seen treading the consecrated
soil. And sometimes too, one Of native
growth may be discovered: such however
are always puny race. and unless nursed
BY some foreign aliment soon feelthe blight
Of their ungenial cline, and die. ] am
sorry to say thatmy political brethren have
selected one Of the latter class, (whc if
elected:) is to represent them in the Senate
lof Ohio. He is true blue aristocrat: still
he is ofthe small potatoe kind, and cannot
do much injury. Did you think Of that
Wings, when you nominated Asahel H
Lewis, and did you revolve the fact in your
minds, that if he can do no good, he can dc
no harm! All; Asahel, l fear that there
is hard doom awaiting thee; for if thou
shouldst be elected, the swelling of thy ser
4 vile soul, might cause thee to burst, and il
thou shouldst not, (which heaven grant) the
shrinkage thereof, might cause thee to die
| / would not have thy life in danger Asahel
but it seems that thy friends have alread,
done it. l know of no way to avoid the
catastrophy, unless thy manumited self b.
Immediately transported to the sublime
realms Of Canada, where thou canst inhal'
the monarchical breeze, unadultered b.
any mixture of Republicanism. Go, g
Asahel, and hail thy kindred in more cor
genial cline; and then when thou dost wa
} old, and thy limbs do totter, and gra
hairs have fallen on thy brow, thou cans
die in peace and rest with thy kindred.

The South.

The clouds again look luridly in the
South, and, albict the ehaaces in Mexican
affairs would seem to defy the ,wisest calcu.
lation, there certainly aro indications Of
positive activity in tho ncighborhood Of
Monterey, as wore considered TO DO
out Of the question three weeks ago. The
New Orleans papers Of the 25th ult. con-
fidently look for stirring neMs soon from
our army, while Santa Anna compsls us to
look with no less interest towards tho Mex.
ican capital.
We have no doubt, says tho Picayuue,
that Gen. Taylor is now moving his col.
