That William Bebb, the whg candidate for Gov
ernor, is IN favor of abolishing all laws making
distinction on account Of color,- and that ne is IN
favor n the present tax law, and OF taxing bankers
only upon their profits Recollect, that TINS same
William Bebb, was President of the Hamilton and
RossvilIe Hydraulic Company, and that that Com
panv issued shin plasters which afterwards were
sold by the honest laborers for the company at 5o
cents on the dollar. Recollect, that the wing ieg
slature of ls44-5 repealed the clause in the char
ter of that company which made the stockholders
individually liable for the debts OF the Concern
RecolIect, that Mr.. Bebb asserted in late speech
at Columbus, "that the democrats refused to re-
move Mr.. Bates from Office when it was known
that he was defaulter. Now, 1t is well known
fact that Mr.. Bates tcas removed from office by the
democrats, during the session of lS4l-2; and 1t II
equally well known that every whig voted aga'ns
the resolution displacing him. This resolution
passed the Senate of Ohio on the 4th OF March
1912. by vote of IS yeas to II nays-every one
of the former being given by democrats, and all o
the latter by wings. In the House OF Representa-

A Specie urrrncy.

Will our readers give the following extract from
speech delivered in the u. S. Senate in 1885, by
Hon. THOMAS H. BENTON, candid and careful
perusall 1t affords perfect answer to the cant
phrase of the wings that the business of the coun-
try cannot be carried on with specie currency.

healthy currency--the result ofa true and steady

THE NEW STATE HOUSE. The law
for erecting a new State House was
once repealed by democratic Legis-
lature and afterwards again passed by
the wings. The building is to be 1876
by 3o6 feet-and will cover one acre
and a third of ground. lts,foundation n
walls are hreipe feet thick, and the build
ing when finally completed will have
cost the State between one and two
million dollars. 01-The wings say
that the work on the State House is tc
be done by convict labor from the Pen
.itentiary. But this does not help tht
matter. The Penitentiary itself ha'
got into debt, and the next Legislature
will be compelled to grant an appro
priationforit, relief.--Ohio Patriot.

The Progress of the War.

The capture of Santa Fe, and the
possession of the province OF New
Mexico, are among the most memora
Bile events of the present war. lhe
success with which the commanding
general carried his expedition through
country Of 900 miles, uninhablted by
white men, but beset by struggling IN
dians, until he took possession OF this
important position, entities him to the
great gratitude Of his country. The
discretion which marked his proceed
ings after he reached Santa Fe, and the
subsequent steps that he isabout TO take,
will make this acquisition one of the
most remarkable and important events
Of the war. He has located our VIC
torious eagles at this point, and Mexico
has to ask herself. if we have thus ac-
quired one other finest provinces, what
is to stop US in our career, or why will
she persevere in the war amidst so
many dlfficulties9

CAPTURE OF SANTA FE.

We understand that Official informa.
tion has been received from Gen. hear-
ney, announcing the capture and quiet
military possession OF the territory oi
New Mexico. On the 18th August he
entered the city of Santa Fe without
firing gun or spilling a drop OF blood,
having accomplished this after a march
of nine hundred miles in fifty days.
Gov. ArmJo had assembled a force OF
about q 900 men, and had taken strong
position in the vicinity of Santa Fe to
oppose his progress; but that force dis
persed, and the governor himself fled
on the near approach Of the American
army; and he was supposed to be about
$50 to 200 miles below; accompanied
by few dragons: there is no appre-
hension of any attempts on his part to
disturb the quiet possession which Cen.
Kearnev now holds of Santa Fe and
the adjacent country. The American
flag was hoisted, and now waves over
what was once the Mexican governors
palace, and all is tranquil and quiet
among the people, and they appear not
only to acquiesce in, but to be recon
ciled and pleased with, the change OF
government. 1t appears that Gen. K.
has treated them with great kindness
and consideration. Some ordnance
was captured, including brass field
piece taken from the Texan expedition
fitted out against Santa Fe some years
since. ltis understood Gen. kearney
with small force, is about to leave
Santa Fe for few days on an excur
sion to some of the principal places II
the territory, and may conclude to es
tabish military post below or nea

The Farmer and the Banker.

SOMETHING OF DIFFERENCE. The farm
ers are the poorest paid of any class OF our czehs
Their profits will not average more than three
per cent, and yet whiggery taxes their farms at
their full cash value, well as their horses cows
sheep, pigs, guns, bee.hives, saddles, and every
thing else movable and immoveabe. All their
mproyemen,s-thei shade trees and ornamental
trees their houses and fences-and all the pro.
ducts of their hard labor unless disposed OF before
six months.
The rich banker, through his shaving operations
makes from eighteen to twenty-four per cent,
profit upon his capital without work. Yet whig-
gerry says, because the banker is unwilling TO De
fared as honest men are. he need only pay SIX per
cent upon his profits and is exemptfrom all county
road, poor, and township tax.
Ifthe farmers crops fail as they did last year.
his taxes are still the same.
| If the banker has no PROFITS, he pays no taxes
| If an honest farmer goes to the western part OF
the State and purchases piece Of land, clears it
up builds his log cabin, and after years OF toll
has enhanced the price of his land several hum
dred dollars, whiggerY compels him to pay taxes on
the full cash value.
If the rich banker. with the proceeds Of his sha-
wings, purchases few hundred acres Of wild land
alongside of this honest farmer, for the purpose OF
speculation, whiggery only taxes him upon his
lands in Wild state.
After the honest farmer has enhanced the value
of the rich bankers lands, the banker sells out and
pockets the profits-which really the result OF
this honest farmers lsbors
This is whiggery. This is the operation of the
wbig tax law People of OHIO, are you willing 10
