VINToN VS.. THE RIGHT OF PETITION
Vinton's tracks in congress, where he has
been doughfscing for the last twenty years,
look worse than crows tracks in ccrn.tieId.
Besides opposing Bank. Land and Tariff Re-
forms, he has steadily opposed the right Of
petition. The following notes are from the
Record:
Petition for the abolition Of slavery and
the slave trade, presented by Mr. Faircbild,
Of Maine, from l72 females. Vinton voted
to lay it upon the table against, Adams,
Slade and others. See Gales & Seaton's
Register, vol. 10. part ,. page 1862
Mr.. Jackson, from Mass presents one OF
the same character, from citizens OF Massa-
chuse,ts Aftera lengthy discussion, Vim
ton votes against Adams, slade and others,
to Law it on the table. See Gales & Seaton's
Register, vol. IL. part 2, page 1862.
Mr. Briggs. OF Mass, presents one from

S,iil The Fraud Goes On.

The Banks are still at their old tricks.
A law was passed last winter requiring
banks TO list their property for taxation
the sams as other property is taxed, but
Assessors failing TO give the ten days no.
lice required in the statute, they refused to
comply. and thus upon their last year's
business were taxed on their profits only.
We are informed that this year they re.
turn their property as required by said stat
ute, but with "protesl'' against the con.
s.ilutionality of the act. OF course, when
the Collector comes around, they will re>
fuse TO pay, and if successful under their
protest, will escape taxation altogether, for
the reason that no assessments have been
made under the old law.
Auditor WOODS. who was good enough
Wing to secure nomination from the late
Wing State Convention, says, in his Off
cinl report, that the Banks of Ohio would
have paid one hundred md twenty eight
thousand dollars more taxes than they did,
if they had been taxed as other property
is taxed" OF course this large amount
the people, the mechanics, the farmers, The
trades, have been annually paying for the
DHhkS. 4NhW u lueSe Pto'eSsS "tS w
stand, the labor, and not The capital, OF the
State, hns got to pay lis taxes for the next
quarter Of a century. Is this right or justs
The State proposes to pay its whole debl in
thirty five years. The present oank char
lers run nearly thirty years, during which
time most of our State debt will be paid.
Will the property holders Of Ohio submit
to pay one hundred and twenty eight thou
sand dollars per year, for twenty years,
for the bankers, besides their own fair pro.
portion? Ought not the people 10 right
this matter at once, by elecling those men
who will carry out the letter and spirit Of
the New Conslitulion2 and those judges
who will decide that the constitutional
right to tax banks is superior to charters

is. or has been, ON an electioneering tour
through this part of the State, mainly with
the view Of promoting bis own political sue
cess at the coming election. On Monday
last he shed the light Of his coun,enance up
on this da:k corner of the State. He held
forth at the Court House in the evening Of
that day to q small gathering got together at-
ter three times ringing the bell, and inflicted
upon bis hearers one Of the smallest kind of
small potatos speeches. Unfortunatelywe did
not get in in time 10 hear to the first part
Of his speech, but understand it was devot-
ed to suiogizing Vinton. He then took up
the subject OF the State finances, in which
he claimed for the whig Tax Law and for
John Woods its expounder, the credit of
having paid off some $s0o0,0O0 of the
pubic debt, and that without increasing
the taxes Of the people single far,hing.
He did not condescend to enlighten the peo-
pie rs to the manner in which so much mon
ey had been raised without increased, tax.
alton, and he forgot to say anything about
how much the State had Dade by that ad-
mirable financial operation + the Wings
Of taxing the Bsnksupon their profits only
by which they had been exempted and the
PEOPLE defrauded 10 the amount of over a
hundred thousand dollars annually. He
forgot to say anything about how much the
State made by that glorious stroke Of Wing
policy Of giving to ] w. Allen the snug
little farm OF 2s 900 acres Of land Tor call
ing the attention Of the General Land Of.
fee to the undenia BILE right Of the State to
about loo. 200. He either forgot to say a
word about these matters, or else to explain
them formed no part Of his mission. Bot
there was one thing he did Eot forget, and
which he took frequent occasion TO allude
to, and that was. that he was not party
man! Once in his life be had been, but he
had got over that now. Those who heard
this Aim.y begging speech must be satisf-
ed that Auditor Woods is frightened at the
prospect Of de eat which stares him in the
face. The condition Of whiggery must be
indeed desperate TO induce John Woods to
psram bulate the Stale to announce TO the
people that he is not a party man! Such
an arti6ce is too shallow, it wont win.

The Ticket.

Above will be found the ticket put in
nomination by the Democratic Convention
held in ihi. place on Saturday. We have
neither time nor room to speak individual
ly Of the several candidates, il, indeed, hat
were necessary, but would say Of the ticket
collectively that it is a good one, one well
worthy the cordial support Of every Demo-
cratic voter in the county, and we trust it
will receiveit.
We are free to confess that the result Of
the tom nations is not, in all respects, as
we might have desired, for we, like every
other democrat had choice even between
friends. But the ticket is the choice of the
Convention, freely and iairly expressed, and
as such We shall use our best efforts to Sc.
cure the triumphant election OF every can
didate upon it, and this we bel eve will be
the course Of every one who desires the sue
cess OF the Democra attic cause. We cannot
doubt that the unsuccessful cand dates
will give renewed evidence OF their devotion
to democratic principles by the warm and
active airport which they will give to their
more successful competitors. Indeed, from
a portion Of them we have this assurancs.
The Convention was large one, every
township being represented and nearly ev-
cry delegation being full, and its proceed
ings throughout were conducted in the best
spirit and most perfect harmony.

Jadicia. Conyea,ion-Ths Nominee.

We have the satisfaction of announcing
this week the name Of LUTHER Day, Esq,
as the Democratic candidate for the Office
ST Judge Of the Court Of Common Pleas for
the district composed Of the counties of
Trumbull, Mahoning and Portage, nomi-
mated by the Convention held at Newton
Falls on Wednesday last. 1t is needless
for US to comment Upon the character Of
the nominee or bis qualifications and fitness
for the Office to which he has been nomi-
mated. His bitterest opponents even will
not attempt to deny his ability or that he
possesses character above reproach. His
professional career was begun in this coun-
ty, and he has grown with her growth and
strengthened with her strength The peo-
pie of this county have thrice bestowed upon
him their suffrages for the Office Of Prose-
cutting Attorney, and he las repayed them
for their Iavors and confidence by an able
and faithful discharge Of the duties entrust-
ed to his charge. and they will again be
be glad Of an opportunity to honor him
with their support. 1t is no disparagement
to the other gentlemen whose names were
brought for ward, to say that the Conven-
ton could not have emade better choice.
We understand that the best of feeling
prevailed in the Convention, and that the
delegates from all parts of the district went
away with the determination 10 use every
honorable effort for the success of the nom
ines.

Our Judicial Nomination in this District.

We learn from our democratic friends
who were in attendance at the Falls, upon
our Judicial Convention, on the lo.h inst ,
that the choice fell on, not only our old
friend, LUTHER DAY, but The friend OF
every democrat! Yes Luther Day, the
ever-faithful friend OF the mass, as we'll as
one of the mos, unassuming and accom-
plished members Of the northern Bar.
True i, was, ,ha, the strong desire we, as
member OF, and fellow laborer in the cause
Of democracy and equal rights, had for the
perfect harmony of the party in Mahoning,
caused US 10 feel strong desire for the
success Of our friend, John NJ. Edwards, Of
Garfield, but cneerlully do we admit, that
had beth been located within the precincts
of distracted Mahoning, we could not have
had even personal choice-personal, did
we say?-no, we would not have turned
upon our heel for both gentlemen, with or
without trial, will be found worthy Of any
responsive trust, reposed in them, by the
freemen Of their country.
Ii is already reported, by those who are
still desirous to prevent n restoration OF
harmony in the ranks of tho democracy Of
Mahoning, that John NJ. Edwards, and his
friends were SO displeased or chagrined at
his defeat en- the 10Th. that sworn mac
iiyi,y on their part, is only to be expected.
The truth Of The slanderous assertion,
we deny by authority, as we'll as by per.
sonal knowledge; and say TO all. that no
democrat within the precints Of this juoi>
cial circuit, will devote his time, and pour
out his money with more cheerfulness
Than will NJ. Edwards. or his friends.
