OUR CONVENTIONS.

The Democratic Central Committee Of Wy
andot county, have appointed the SECOND
SATURDAY in July, as the time for holding
township meetings to appoint delegates to at
tend the Congressional and Senatorial Con-
Fention to be held in Tifin, on the 3lst of
July, and The Representative Convention to
be held in Bucyrus, at such time us may be
agreed upon, of which time notice viii be
given. We hope that the Democracy Of each
township will attend TO the call of the Commit
tee and send full delegation. If we have
a full delegation, then we can feel perfectly
satisfied with the nominations, which will not
be SO much the case if our county is not rep
resented. Let all our democratic friends who
are in this Congressional, Senatorial ano
Representative District not fail to be on hand
at the time and places designated; for the
offices are important and good men ought to
be nominated to fill them.

PROS ECT U s
orTHE
Democratic Pioneer,
Published in Upper sandusky.

THE undersigned, believing it to be for thu
welfare and better organization of the Dem
ocratlc party, is desirous ofpnblishing paper
in the above named place, which in politics
will be thoroughly Democratic; while at the
same time much other interesting matter will
appear in it. 1t will be published every week
and as far as possible, contain the latest in
telligence.
In taking the responsibility of publishing a
paper, practice has made it necessary to give
an avowa of the principles by which it will
be governed, and in so doing, it Is deemed sut,
ficent when we say: it will be devoted to
principles which guarantee to every man,
equal protection, equal privileges, and uni
versa liberty,--holding the doctrine that all
men are alike worthy Of protection, SO long as
the doctrine of freedom and equality are pro-
tessed to be the governing principles of our
happy land--wlthout distinction between rich
or poor. Believing such were not the gov
erning principles of the majority in our State
Legislature last winter, we shall be found bat
tleing against all such men and measures.
1t Is the intention of the editor to be per-
fectly free and uncontrolled by any man or
set of men; and always willing to receive the
counsel of such as are desirous Of promoting
the good cause for which it is published to
vndicate, as the advice of many Is moro like
ly to be correct than the few.
The full desire being, to print sheet truly
and wholly Democratic, we not only take our
own opinion, but also the opinions of the IL
lustrious who have promulgated Democratic
principles from the earliest dawn of our rep
| ublican government.
The mechanical branch of the paper will
be neatly executed
TER OF BsCRIP TION

Another Remuneration.

Col. Richard Wall, of Hancock couu! y
comes out and gives his opinion pretty
freely of the party Of which he has been
heretofore prominent member. His re-
nunciauon is given in the Democ cratic
Courier. He says-'I have found out

said to possess. | have become disgus,ed
with theii partial, tyrannicsl, aud reck,
less legislation-their oppressive and I'M

that have "come out from the foul par.

gives the following interesting scenc.:
After the line of battle had been form.

be proud of his little band, and venture
into fight with the odds Of three to one
against him. must confess never saw
such perfect composure and Indifference
in my life Every man was as cool as
p ssble, and hal they been going to take
dinner, could not have appeared more in
different. At this time Gen. Taylor had
not the slightest knowledge as to whether
the enemy had any artillery or not. The
long prarle grass prevented any one from
dst ngu'shiDg it, wien maske by men in

1t was an allimportant point. Captain
May was ordered with his squadron to go
forward and reconnoitre the enemy, and
if possible draw fire from their artillery,
bat to no purpose. They took no notice
f him, and the General was no wiser than
before. Lieut. Blake then proposed to go
forward alone and reconnoitre. l was
close to him, and volunteered to go with

ward to within eighty yards Of their line,
the whole army looking on us with aston

Lieut., Blake alighted from his horse, and
with his glass surveyed the whole line, and

him to mount. lie quietly told me to

off and took new position, and there

Come, Farmers all, both small and great,

Don't be alarmed, let ali give ear,
A wondrous story you will hear.

Draws out book with pen in hand
John Clod, I've come to tax your land,
Your horses, barns, and your pig stys,
Your corn cribs, sheds and granaries,
Your peach, your plum, your apple trees,
Your mines of coal, your nurseries,
Your wales, your hills your forest woods,
Your mills, your stoves, your fields, your
Now at your duds III take a peep,
While you, pray, will silence keep
Down goes at once five thousand dollars
This is not all pray mark what follows
Scarce had this SCISSOR gone away,
When his young son to him did say,
o, father pray, but yonder look,
There comes another with his book
well, Mr.. Clod, how do you do,
I'm come to levy tax on you!'
To levy taxi John Clod replies,
With vengeance flashing from his eyes;
'5ust now my houses and my land
Were taxed, this will never stand.'
You musi, for do now declare,
TO every thing you own, must swear;
Your horses, cattle, mules and asses,
That under collar or bride passes;
Your hogs and sheep, 'bove six months old, /.
Your watch Of silver or of gold;
Your tca-cups, sadcers, spoons and knives,
Your buggies, guns and bees in hives,
Yocr saddles, brides, rings and toys,
La, them be owned by girls Or boys.
Come. mo, ,.'her, count your poultry quick,
Gander and go,se, duck, hen and chick;
Mary your parasoll pa.'a'e;
We tax them all--this is cur trade;
For every thing you must account,
And praise them to their full amount,
For if you don't, by jing | swear,
Well double every item there
Old Johnny looked, fact--tis true
As if his eyes would pierce him through.
Are The Bankers taaed?' he sternly cries,
why no. they'r precious in our eyes
Says John, these laws are worse than kings.
We can't tax banks-they're sacred hings-
But next year when come again,
'Tis then perhaps you will complain;
Il tax you then on son and daughter,
On pump, and well, and springs Of water;
On every item that you own,
And skin you to the very bone;

GETTING SUBSCRIBERS.

Some fellow called in our town on We'd
nesday evening, whose business appeared to
be getting subscribers for the 'Sandusky Ga
ron,' whig paper, printed in Sandnsky city.
The fellow is undoubtedly very smart chap
and therefor can explain matters perfectly,
at least in his own green opinion. He gave
as a reason why Democratic papers have SO
, small support, shat the Germans and Irish
are very iggorant people, and are locos-do
not understand any thing about this country,
and never take papers," The green thing
will be apt to discover some ignorant Germans
and lriSh,' as we said, smart enough for him.
Let every German and Irish man remember
the whig sentiment and the insolent puppy
who puts it forth. He is now travelling about
and let those who meet him stick it at him.
Friend BREsI.lN, this knowing fellow puts
down portion Of your citizens, Thompson
township as very ignorant indeed. Cant you
obtain this chap or some other knowing wing,
(for from his discourse none but wings arc
smart) to instruct those persons?
