Mr.. EDIToR:-Having so often seen
spirit ofaccommodation manifested by you,
in granting the use of your columns to dif-
ferent persons, | do not hesitate in asking
the same privilege myself, with the fullest
confidence that it will not be denied me.
Though your paper is the organ OF the de-
mocracy, yet, ifl were a bank 'ohig, (Which
however, is not the case, | do not believe
you would be so ungenerous as to refuse
me small space in your paper.
What I'wish to speak about at the pres
ent time is this: In various parts of our
Senatorial District the report is rife that
NATHAN HoLLIsTER, Esq, intends being a
candidate for State Senator at the coming
election. Now |, as democrat-as one
of the free democracy-wish to enquire OF
the gentleman named, through the medium
of your paper, if such be the fact Mr.. H.,
l understand, has always been consis-
tent free-soiler--st standing aloofin his polit-
ical movements from both the democratic
and whig parties; and that he has ever
manifested the most ardent devotion to
those principles upon which he founds his
political faith. Every person that knows
Mr.. Hollister will readily admit that he
ranks in the first class as regards talent
energy and perseverance; yetI, for one
land there are hundreds more who feel as
do on this subject cannot and will moi
support him, or any other man, without
frsthaving direct and satisfactory answers
to the following questions:
Is the division Of q county into districts
for Representative purposes, constitutional
and would you vote to sustain the bill di.
Nding Hamilton county for that purpose
in case you were elected.
Are you in favor of the present tax lawl
Ifyou are-whyl 1t not--your reasons.
4 g Should the property and assets Of banks
be taxed in the same manner and to the
same amount as the property and assets
of private individuals are taxedl
#i' Would you vote for and advocate the
passage Of bill exempting the Homestead
from sale on executionl as
Should the public domain, in limited
quantities, be free to actual settlers.
would respectfully solicit Mr.. Hollister
10 make known his views on these matters.
and ask Of you, Mr.. Editor, to permit him
soto do through the columns ofthe" esprit"

DESPERATE AND FATI EEcoUNTER.-At
public meeting or discussion of slavery
emancipation, which took place on Satur.
day last, in Madison county KY, between
Cassius M. Clay and Joseph Turner, a
quarrel ensued, which resulted in rem.
contre between the parties. They frs
drew pistols, which snapped, but did no
60 off. They then attacked each Other
with Bowie knives. Mr.. Clay was stabbed
through the heart, and expired immediate
ly. Mr.. Turner was severely wounded in
the abdomen and groin, and has since
died.
This dreadful tragedy has caused great
excitement and much sorrow among the
friends of both parties.

Mr.. EDIroR:-Itis is an old observation that
men are apt to be prodigal and lavish with
the substance Of others. No self.denial is
necessary for such an exertion Of bastard
generosity. When that cruel, worthless
and stupid tyrant, James the Cd of Eng
land, was driven away by his English sub
jects, he was met by Louis the Fourteenth
of France, who settled on him the palace
and grounds of st. Germans and an an
nual pension of forty-6ve thousand crowns
out ofthe French Treasury. Now Louis
himself was worthless cumberer of the
ground, mere nuisance in Gods crea-
ton, who had never earned forty-five cop
pers in all his life. This was precisely
the kind of character to be bountiful at
the expense of the French taxpayers.
,'Tis folly's most peculiar art and ma
tive attribute to make experience void."-
In, spite of such examples as the above,
written on every page of history, and on
every page of human nature, our whig
General Assembly at the Session ofi845-6
vested the power Of appropriating money
from the State Treasury for the repairs of
our canals, in small cabal consisting of
three men, under the name and style OF
Fund Commissioners. Citizens Of Ohio,
are you green enough to suppose that
your treasury is safe in the private custody
of three men, each one Of whom has set
of dependents and retainers, and friends,
and old acquaintances, and chums, and
cousins, and poor relations to enrichY
The gross income of our public works for
the past year was little upwards of eight
hundred thousand dollars. Governor
Bebb reports the cost of repairs at up
wards of four hundred and seventy-two
thousand dollars!!! So much for the pow
er of private appropriation of the Peoples
money by three men!!! The mill has
brought in eight hundred dollars by way
oftolls, but it has cost five hundred dollars
by way of repairs!!! Who, in his senses,
could expect any other result, when the
Peoples treasury is given into the private
control and custody of three men, whose
very names are unknown to the People
and who are not elected by them or direct
irresponsible to them? No public debate
discussion or examination as to the pro-
priety of granting away the Peoples mo.
ney, but all transacted by three men, who
form their resolutions in the recesses o.
their own breasts; and who render nc
reason for those resolutions, and who are
subject to all manner of irregular infu'
ences from private importantly and solici'
tation, and the desire of enriching them
selves, their friends and confederates!!!-
Itwould be standing miracle if such
system could be otherwise than currupt to
the hearts core; yet every whig in the
SENATE, at the last session, voted to retain
it, and every democrat to repeal it. Eel
low Citizens, think of these things
