For the New Era.

LINES suggested on hearing an american G,
the political institutions of the Old World.
All! tell me not of gorgeous thrones
In lands beyond the sea,
Show not to me their pomp of state,
Their pride and revelry;
Their flow of wealth, their lordly rule
Have no fond charms for me-
For we'll know those splendid courts
But dazzle with the glow
OF diamonds dug by wretched toll
OF thousands bowIng low,
Beneath the strong oppressor's rod,
While tears of anguish flow.
Methinks see in every gem
Which decks that regal crown,
burning tear drop shining there
OF some poor wretch crush'd down
From off mans lofty pedestal,
Mid waves of wo to drown.
The wealth that pampers mindless lords
From Industry is torn.
Those gaudy trappings all belong
To them the toll have borne.
That power extortcd from the mass
Abus'd makes millions mourn.
Then give US still our equal laws;
Let ,corh not ,oealth have sway.
To all Of Fair Columbia's sons
Give right for rule Away,
Nor sceptr'd king nor lordly knight
Shall wake a Freeman's lay.

BY this court were all offenders tried, for crimes
not under the cognizance Of the black code, and
the Colonel only retained to himself the peto
power. In an after conversation the Colonel in
formed us, that. for the last five years-when he
commenced his plan. he Mad had but few occasions
Of calling his court together.
Colonel White having erected a new sugar
house on his plantation, has converted the old
one into place Of worship. 1t is divided into
three apartments, one for the use of the Episco.
pal clergy, and the others for the Baptist and
Melhods,s. On the Sunday that we partook of
the Coonel's hospitality. hundreds of slaves from
the neighboring plantations of Gen'l Wilkinson,
Robert Wilkinson. Esq, Captain Stafford, and
Madame LIE Fargo, including those belonging to
Ceionel White. attended the meetings, and the
order and decorum of these slaves would nut to
blush the white population of many Northern
cities we can name. Many of these slaves were
better dressed, than tho ladies and children Of the
opulent planters, that attended these meetings.
And why are they 500 Why did they appear
so contented and happy? They were well fed
and clothed. If they were sick regular physi-
clan attended them, and all their reasonable
wants were supplied. They were not over
worked, and never were punished, unless they
really deserved it.
We wish the candid abolitionists-we care not
for the political untebanks-would throw aside
their prejudces against Southern slavery, and
visit the Southern planters at their homes, and
look, and judge for themselves, and they would
return to the North, much wiser and more liber-
al minded.

SATURDAY. AUGUST Is, is4e,

NJ As Mr.. Bebb, the Wing candidate for Gov
ernor, is to be III this place ina few days we sup
pose he will undertake 10 tell the people why Il is
that bankers should only be taxed on Their pron's'
while the farmer and laborcr is taxed on all ne y
worth, even TO Ills lambs and pigs of6 months DID,
Also why it is that the holderso Of state bonds, re-
ceiving their interest promptly, should be exempt
from taxation, while the farmer must pay tax on
note he may hold for horse or COW sold, vine.
ther the note draws interest or not, n ti
Will Mr. Bebb also tell the people Of this coun'
ty why the wings of the Ohio legislature refused
10 pass an amendment offered by DR.. Olds, for
taxing the Lafayette Bank of Cincinnati, and oth;
ers, on their capital and not on their profits, as Is
now the casel Also what are his views in relation
10 repeal OF what are usually called the " Black
laws." And whether he is in favor Of permitting
negroes to testify where white men are partiess
Is Mr.. Bebb still in favor of issuing shin.pfa''
ters, similar to the following'
The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1846-08-15

A correspondent Of the Ohio Press says that he
" has the original OF the above" and "that he
will keep it for the accommodation of his friends
as we'll as the friends of the President above nam
ed" This correspondent further speaking Of Mr..
Bebb, says: "If you should see this perfect spe-
cimen of whig bombast and demagog ueism, just
ask him If he was not at one time connected with
the Hamilton and Rossville Hydraulic Company
and if the above is not in substance correct copy
of shin plaster, issued by him as money, and
forced upon the laborers that work. at their face,
and if the laborers were not obliged to sell them at
fifty cents to the dollar or their families suffer for
bread. The above is nearly correct copy of one
Of these shnplasters; bank notes If they are not
willing that we should use hard name as shin
plssters. In consideration Of which gave the
holder lbs of coffee at 10 cts and lbs. sugar al
cts, in all 62 cts for one of William Bebbs shin
plaster-promise;to-pa one dollar and lhirty-three
cents ON demand"
Mr. Bebb had as we'll be at home hunting up
these old shin plaster, aud redeemng them at their

From the Daily Union.
Sham Sympathy for Labor.

The whole burden of the protection
ist cry now is, that the new tariff of
1S46 Is a persecution Of American labor.
Now be it observed, in the first place,
that more than three-fourths Of Amerl-
can labor is devoted to the tillage ofthe
soil; yet no man stands up TO say that
the tariff Of 1912 gave, or was intend
ed TO give, this immense proportion of
American industry any substantial pro-
lection whatsoever. 1t is a most as
founding fact, and will hereafter be look
ed upon as one Of the wonders of our
day, that the party calling themselves
by way of eminence the protectIonists
of American labor, have left the agrl-
cultural labor of our country wholly
out Of view in their calculations.
This is enough, but it is the least part
Of the truth. II the protectionists in
their tariff of 1912 had only failed to
protect American agriculture, and so
lei IL alone, the case would have been
lar better than it is.
Instead of doing SO, they have taxed
the farmer ormously, and on system,
in everything that he buys. They tax
his salt-and the senator from Missou-
ri we'll called this an implous tax--l5O
per cent. They do, in the law Of i842,
