FOR GOVERNOR OFOHIo.
What SaV we.
R A VET N A, OHIO:

tits earnestly contended by the editor of
the Ohio Star, that in the present condition
of our State finances it is the interest and
the duty of the State to levy a tax upon
every species ofproperty according to its
true value. To this proposition We say,
amen, and amen. But it is admixed by
that paper, that vast amount of profta-
BILE property is held by the wealthy capital
lists of the State entirely exempt from tara-
tion. Twenty millions Of the States in
debtedness drawing interest semi-annually
which has been sacrificed by the State for
from 60 to 90 cents on the dollar,-which
is bought up for the purpose of speculation,
may be held entirely free from tar. But
it is said that there is a law which declares
that these stocks "shall nerer be taxed"
Weare at loss to see upon what prin
ciple of justice and equity tho holders o.
these bonds should be exempt while al
other species of property, of whatever
name or nature musi be burthened with tax
Were the money with which these bonds
are purchased in the hands of the bono
holders, that would be taxed. And are the
bonds less valuable than the money invest
ed otherwise? We care not whether such
law be in existence or not. Its repeal
for the purpose of compelling the wealthy
capitalists to bear the burthens which of
right belong to them to pay-their share of
the enormous expense incurred in putting
this iniquitous law into operation-ofbuild-
ing an extensive and costly State house
when the State is burthened with debt of
over $2O,o0O,O0o-of keeping the wheels
ofState in motion-and finally ofdischarg-
ing the interest and principal of that debt
upon which they are feasting and growing
fats loudly demanded by every princi-
pie of equality and Justice.

ssIndenendence'' and Courage"

The tory editors of the State and those
who follow their. lead are proflse in their
praise of the independence" and "cour'
age'' ofthe sagacious Members Of Congress
who voted against raising the means for
protecting their country when a state Of
war actually existed upon its borders
when the murderous knife of the brutal foe
was still streaming with the blood Of our
countrymen. independence" and "cour-
ageu' Yes, Benedict Arnold had the Tin
dependence" and courage" to barter his
country for gold. For thirty pieces of sill
yer, Judas Iscariot had the ''independence'
and s'courage" to betray the Lord of life
and glory into the hands ofhis cruel perse-
cutors; but it was left for this immortal
fourteen, to have the independence" and
courage" without money and without
price, to betray their country into the hands
of its enemies: that they might damn their
names to everlasting infamy-and they are
fit. subjects for the fulsome praise Of the
Ohio BLUE-LIGNTs.

Sorry for II.

The fine sensibilities of the mighty "lit-
tie man in boots" who presides with so
much dignity over the sanctum Of the Sum-
nit Beacon, seems very much shocked that
the Democratic editors of the State should
be guilty Of the henious offence of mutilla-
ting the lying promises put forth by the
rag-mills. He is extremely sevargerows
upon the son of Ben (little Ben we suppose
he means) Tappan for having, as he says,
divested bank bills Of their only charms,
the beautiful pictures, which give them such
currency and value among the admirers of
his better than specie, and presenting the
naked promise, to the rag factories for re-
demption. And we have been guilty of an
offence, in the eyes of the superlatively
nice little man, in defacing the backs of
these bills by printing "garbled extracts of
whig speeches" thereon. Whether the
extracts with which we deface. the backs
of these pictured lies be garbled or not,
matters very little to us, SO long as they
utter what is true in relation to banks and
bankers; and that they do, is most amply
proved by the past history of these iniquit-
Gus concerns, and is being daily certified
by their conduct. But ''the head and front
of our offending seems to be, that tone
of the publishers" of this paper H'boasted
that he had drawn four dollars out of the
bank of Cuyahoga Falls, and would have
drawn more ifhe could have obtained the
bills" We would inform our good friend
Of the Ign;s- -Fatuus, that what LITTLE money
or paper promises to pay money comes into
our hands, is obtained by the appliance Of
our hands to hard labor. Years past have
proved the utter insecurity and worthless
ness of banks, and the people have been
richly repayed for reposing confidence in
such concerns as the Cuyahoga Falls
Branch Bank, we have no confidence in
the concern whatever, and we shall return
home to its counters all and every Of its
bills which we may through necessity be
compelled to take; and the people of Ohio
will manifest mark ofwisdom in "doing
likewise" not by this concern alone but by
all concerns of like kin; for these bank
plunderers come upon US, like other thieves,
at q time when we are slumbering in fam
cied security.
BY the by friend Bowen, don't you think
that you would have made display of wis
dom had you demanded the 'shiners'' Of the
Rcd Dog St. Clair for the small amount

- FROM THE ARMY.
II iii R Il e DAYS TER!

An EXPEDITION STARTED TO ATTACK
BARRITA-GEN. TAYLOR PREPARING
uroiCRoss THE RIO GRANDE, AND AT
TACK AND OccUpY MATAMoRAs.
From the New Orl ans Bulletin.
The steamer James L. Day, Capt. Grif-
fin, arrived this morning from the Brazos
Santiago, which place she left on the 10Th
instant, bringing intelligence two days Ia
ter than by the Galveston.
The news is important. Capt. Griffin in
forms us that Gen. Taylor left Point Isabel
on the morning of the 18th, with about
two hundred men, and a supply of provis-
ions for the army at the camp. After pro-
ceeding short distance, however, he DEEM
ed it expedient to return and increase his
escort, and take with him large quantity
Of supplies. He did so, and took up his
march again for the camp on the morning
of the l4th, with from six to eight hundred
men, q park Of artillery, and about two hun
dred and fifty wagons. He was met about
midway between Point Isabel and the camp,
late on the evening of the 18th. Up to
that time he had not met the enemy, nor
was it anticipated that he would encounter
opposition as the general impression was
that the enemy had retreated from our
soil, immediately after the defeats of the
9th and 10th, and sought safety on the west
side Of the Rio Grande. a
While General Taylor was at Point Isa
bel he received intelligence that the Mexi
cans were gathering large numbers at Bar
rita, Mexican town, Immediately on tn,
the bank Of the Rio Grande. On beint
thus informed, he ordered the two com
panies Of Louisiana Volunteers, unde
Capts. Desha and Stockton, and detacb
mcnt Of United States infantry, numbering
IN. all, regulars and volunteers about on
thousand men, composed entirely of lnfan
try,, to proceed to the attack Of that town
These troops embarked on the morning {
the 18th, on the steamer Neya, Leo an
