The Kalida venture. [volume] (Kalida, Ohio) 1841-1865, 1847-08-03

klhere are several calls TOT ConVenuons
o-day's paper, preparatory 10 the fall
ltest. As the popular vote system is to
eive its first trial in this county, this fall,
q expect that our Democratic fellow citi-
zens, will use their best efforts to surmount
all difficulties that may be found incident to
the trial of the new system, and will give it
full effect and fair trial. 1t is by union,
harmony, and ,he sacrifice Of minor consider.
tions that Democracy can alone triumph in
its struggle with Federalism. Compromises
of men are essential to this success; princi-
pies alone can never be compromised with
out danger to the liberty and happiness of
the people. As will be perceived by CON-
munication in to-day's paper Mr. Vail, our
present Sheriff, declines being candidate,
to prevent as far as in his power division in
the party. We hope this spirit ofcenciation
will guide all Democrats, and give US once
more the assurance of victory over an
opposition which is ready to take any shape,
make any profession, and retail any Sian
der that may deceive the people, and aid an
unworthy cause.
Two Conventions are this year rendered ne.
cessary; but this difficulty may hereafter be
generally avoided, by giving the delegates
from the Townships the power of nomina-
ting delegates 10 the Representive, Senate
rial and Congressional Conventions, whenev-
er these are not called at too early date.
Honor AMONG THIEVES seems principle
10 be confined TO common rogues, and is moi
to be hereafter recognised among the master
swlndlers of the people--the bankers. TIE
Piqua Register is berating Jos. Brown, Cashier
ofthe bank of Troy,f writing falsehood TO
the publisher of BicknelI's Reporter, 'that
there was no such branch in Ohio as the Pi.
qua branch the State bank, for the purpose
,f injurng its credit; and tells Joseph to Try
again! There is no doubt out he will;
but we are afraid that his next trial will be
to deceive the people as 10 the credit of
the value of Troy Bank promises, and we
very much doubt whether the Piqua Bank
folks will be quite as anxious as now to
make his rascality public.
This instance ofincreas:ng decentralization
among bankers is not solitary. The Tiffin
applicants for the privileges Of banking are
keeping spies upon each other; watching to
see which makes the best bid for The favor of
the board of Control, and the Seneca Adver-
tiser relates case, where after electing
Cashier, he proposed shaving those who
elected him-'-frst upon his salary, and next
upon some $4,000 of specie in his hands!
This bodies we'll for the people. If bank
ers become like common gamblers plunder-
ers feach other, they will soon be estimated
at their real worth by the people, they have
so long plundered with impunity, because
they have hitherto been agreed as to one
hing--that is--to lie to all but bankers.
