The Tax In lS47 upon Lands.
VIII the Taxes OfiIhe Farmers be
increasedf AfeW facts worth a
thousand Whig NrGMmemts.

VIII the Taxes Oflhe Farmers be
increased7 AsfeW facts worth n
thousand Whig Arguments.
Great efforts have been made by the
Whig orators and writer's to show that the
taxes of the farmer will not be as high un.
der the new tax law, as they were under
the old one-and this subject seems to us to
have been SO thoroughly sifted and discuss
ed as to become familiar to the minds of
all. How can it be possible, that, with as
great an amount of tax to be collected, (and.
we are told by the authors of this law that
a larger amount is required) while the val
uation of real estate has increased from
ST., ,S45, ,255 to $4, 4,452, ,497 and the personal
property, of all descriptions has not doubled,
that the tax upon land can otherwise than
be increased? We are told that though the
valuation Of land is SO much higher, the
rate Of taxation will be much lower; and
$50, indeed, it must be. But will it not be
equally low upon personal property? od
Mr.. Bebb and Auditor Woods have, in
their speeches in various parts of the State
asserted that the rate Of taxation in 1s47,
under the new assessment, will not exceed
SEVEN MILLS upon the dollar, and the Ohio
State Journal, the central organ of the
whig party, in an article published in that
paper on the 18th Of June last, makes use
ofthe follwing language: .n
"We ask the people to remember these
facts, The personal and real property of
the State lin ls47, will not pay more than
five and half, or at the extent, six mills
on the dollar" ~. r.a
And these facts have been reiterated by
the entire whig press of the State; so that
it will be safe to adopt the least sum men
toned by them as the true rate of taxation
for next year. The following table shows
the valuation of the lands in the several
townships of this county under the old as
sessment together with the amount of tax
paid thereon for the year 1e4o, at the rate
ofl4,3 mills upon the dollar; and the valua
ton of the same lands under the new law
with the amount Of tax on the same at tht
f rate of5a mills upon the dollar: ..

The Board of EQualiZatiOn.'

A contributor of the Star Of last week,
says that we labor "under misapprehen-
sion in regard to the action Of the Board Of
Equalization. He says that, very few (not
more than ten in ally applications were
made by the individuals interested, for al
terations in the returns of the District AS
SCISSORS, and tina oil that was to be said on
both sides of these cases, was heard, and
lin each case the decision was unanimous,
that no alteration should be made.' a
All the information we have in regard
to the matter has been derived from others,
vet if the half that we hear about it be true,
there is much ground for complaint. There
is not as much equality in the valuation of
lands as under the former law.
The following statement has been fur
nished us, and it may possibly account to
the "One wo knows'' for the reason that
there were SO very few in attendance, ant
so few applications made for the alteration
in the valuation of land as returned by the

Upon the first day of this last meeting
the Auditor voted, that there should be no
alteration in the townships, in regard to the
assessment; and on the second day vote
was taken as to. whether there should be any
alteration made in the assessment of the

there was tie, the Assessors and one Com

Democrats of Portage,

Remember that there are but a few days
to elapse between this and the election. On
Tuesday next, the great battle between the
contending parties in this State d to be.
fought, and the great and important issues
between them to be decided That day will
determine for time, whether the people
areto enjoy equal rights and privileges, or
whether the laws of the State shall be such
as to conserve the interest of one class at
the expense and to the detriment Of the 9TH
ers. Whether man and mind shall rule,
or the whole power of the State be placed
under the control Of the wealthy few, whose
only ambition is to conserve their own in
terest, at whatever sacrifice to the toiling
thousands whose honest pride is to earn
their bread by the sweat Of their brow; 1t
is incumbent upon every democrat who
loves his country, who. .cherishes the prin-
ciples Of equality, to be active and jealous
in his exertions to secure the triumph of
the democratic cause. The course pursu-
