Whig Premiums TO DeSerterS

EDITORS OF THE SENTINEL:-I understand that
the Wing convention, lately held at Ravenna,
nominated Lawyer Henry Grove for election to
the Legislature. Mr.. Grove was Jackson and
Van Buren politician up to the "Hard Cider'
campaign of 1s4o, or to about that time, and, had
his political aspirations been as likely to be sue
cessful on the Democratic as on the Whig side
he might have acted with the Democracy yet
Butt believe he sought some offices of the De-
mocracy which were denied him. Let US look
back. What other original Jackson men have
obtained their reward for desertion to the whig
ranks2 Were not DR.. Earl Mr.. Pardy, and Mr.
Gardner, original Jackson men? The two Til
dens the same7 and probably there are others
with whose former politics am not so well &C.
quainted but whose political aspirations could
not be SO well gratifed on the democratic side
as on the whig. But their places in our ranks
have been we'll supplied by converts from the
rank and file of whiggery, of those who are well
contented to serve in the ranks. Fellow Demo-
Gratis, we cannot all be officers Let us then Ia
Dor in the ranks with honest zeal in good cause
and our reward will be an approving conscience
and prosperous country. SUFFLELD.

Democratic Gilket.
The 18th of October.

Democrats of Portage, remember that
the 18th Of October is not far distant, that
an important election is just at hand. In
less than two weeks you will be called upon
to cast your votes for men to represent you
in the Legislature, and for county officers.
Are you ready for the contest. Is every
township in the county thoroughly organ
lied? Ifnot let US urge you to see that it
is done Immediately; it is all important
that that work skould be performed. The
federal lazzaroni that inlest this place are
busily engaged in efforts to secure the sue
cess Of their party, and the perpetuation of
their unjust and unequal policy. They are
putting in circulation secret circulars issu-
ed BY the federal executive committee at
the State capitol; and they are concocting
and secretly promulgating all manner of
falsehoods in relation to the democratic
candidates; they are no,c practicing upon
the motto which was displayed upon their
banners in the contest Of le40-"We sioop
to conqser.' And will not the Democrats
Of the county do their dutys Now is the
time to begin, and when the polls are closed
the time to rest from your toll.

C. The Anti Slavery Bugze contains a
notice, signed by S. s. Foster, for con-
vention to be held at Randolph, on the 18th
of October next, for the purpose Of discuss.
ing the propriety of putting in nomination
ticket to be supported by the disunionists
at the next Presidential election. We can't
think of O man who would be more likely
TO receive the support of that faction than
the ex-Representative in Congress from the
10Th district in this State; we know of no
real difference in sentiment between him
and them, except that he believes the only
way to accomplish their object, is through
the medium of the ballot box. Should they
succeed in electing him, he would find no
difficulty whatever in selecting Cabinet
from among the leading whig politicians
and Office seekers Of Portage county, who
would in all respects agree with them in
sentiment. And then he has here at home
paper that would make an excellent off,
cial organ of his administration. Just think
of that; disunion President with disun.
ion Cabinet, and the Ohio Star the "Court
Journal"

Whig PrODheCieS

Mr.. EVANS, Of Maine, the great Whig
leader in the U. S. Senate, said on the
floor of the Senate, during the debate on the
Tariff question, in 1646. That the Tariff
of 1916 would not yield over $4,000, 900
of revenue; and every whig paper in the
Union, from the National Intelligencer
down to the Daily American echoed the
words Of MIR. Evans; and sthat's what ails
them.'
Poor creatures, they have not the honor
or the honesty to come out like men, and
acknowledge their stupidity and errors; but
they must needs try their hands at new
prophecies. The statesmen Of that party.
IL 1t is true, say not word,-they have
sense enough to see and feel the awkward.
ness OF their position; but the small fry
keep barking and splitting spleen, while
every sensible man in the community
laughs at their stupidity. A good Whig
manufactures remarked to US, the other day,
that the greatest curse the manufacturer
have to bear, is the constant intermeddling
OF the WhIg newspapers, and the twaddle
OF wing politicians. AL. we desire, said
he, is that these political hunters will let us
alone; we have suffered enough already,
oy allowing them to drag US into their
political fights, and to make US bear the
ourthen OF their campaigns.-PiNs. Post

1Sit Rigiit2

Banks are taxed upon their profits only,
and in case they make no profit they pay
no tar; while the farmer is taxed not only
upon his capital inres,ed but upon the prof.
us he may make. Does he improve his
farm by building fences, erecting barns
setting out ornamental or shade trees, or
from the avails of his labor and the produce
tiveness of his farm lay by hundred dol
lars as prcfts, it is all to be taxed. Should
his crops be cut off, and his farm fail from
any cause to yield him suhiciency to sus-
tain himself and family, still the tax must
come, profit or no profit, and to the same
amount too as though his farm had been
ever so productive. His neighbor has a
large amount invested in bank stock, which
fails to make profit, and consequently he
must not be taxed, say the wings. Is this
right? No one will contend that it is
Then why do we sanction it? Why do
not the people rebuke the men and the par
ty who thus bargain away their rights, and
who would make them the slaves of a set
Of swindling banks?

MIR. COOlman-Mr. Grove

The Ohio Star charges Mr. Goodman
the democratic candidate for Representa-.
tive with having been in favor of the late
division Of the county, and would ask dem.
ocrats to withhold from him their support
in consequence Well, in what better light
does Mr.. Grove, the federal candidate,
stand before the people in this respect?-
Will the editor Of the Star tell the people
Of Portage County, whether Henry Grove
| was in fuvor Of the said division or not
| whether he was not actively engaged in
promoting that object, by procuring petit
TONERS, &c.-and whether he was present
at Akron. at the Jubilee had over the pass
age Of the bill erecting the County Of Sum-
mit-and whether he did not partake so
largely Of the enthusiasm on the occasion
that he made ''Vlrginia rail fence" through
the streets Of the town on that day? And
it might be we'll for the editor of the Star
to enquire and inform his readers whether
| MIR. Grove did not, in consequence of the
active part lie took in procuring the erec-
ton Of the county Of Summit, frequently,
while resident of that county, apply to
the leading wings there for nomination
for Representative, and when he found that
his chances were slim, if he did not move
back into Portage, for the purpose of De-
ing rewarded" for the part he took in
procuring the division? Some of the facts
may be ascertained by enquiring Of the
editor of the Summit Beacon.
Will the editor of the Star also be so
good Us to inform his readers whether MIR.
Grove was not, during last fall and winter
actively engaged in endeavoring to pro-
cure a further dismemberment of Portage
County. by setting off one or more of its
townships to Summit County; aid if
elected, will it not be his effort to procure
that dismembermentl Will he not then
be q resident and citizen of Summit county,
and her Representative, consulting and
promoting her interests and looking to her
welfare alone, though elected by the people
of Portage county? and in that event will
not Summit county, have three Represen-
tatives in the Legislature, while Portage
County will be left without ANY: And,
further, will the editor Of the Star answer
to the people of Portage County, whether
HE will not act with Mr.. Grove in endeay
oring to carry through this project?
With what face can the editor of the
Star ask o! the people of Portage County
to withhold their votes from Mr.. Goodman,
while they support man who was not on
ly decidedly in favor Of the division, but
who is still making active exertions to pro.
cure further dlsmemberment of this coun-

1t is offered to you for insertion in the Sen.
