LIST. Resolved That the beneficial intiu-
ence of the Teachers Institute of Belmont
county, is being manifested in an accelerated
ratio, and that we sincerely regret that SC

Sd. Resolved: That the office Of Schoo

connected with party politics.
4th. Resolved: That the relation which h
has for years sustained to the cause in ohi'

THE STATE TAX.

Last year the State tax was thirty-ive
cents to the hundred dollars. Atthis our tax
payers grumbled considerably. That, how
ever, was only the entering wedge of locofoco-
ism. But they found it necessary, as the sal
aries of our State and Judicial officers had
been greatly raised, to have more cash. They
hoped, awhile, that by getting more property
on the duplicate, and putting all property up
to high-water murk, they would be able to
get along without raising the per cent. of tax
ation. But this hope has proved delusive-
and now we have an assessment OF ouer

The -four o'clock tram Of yesterday from
this city for New Bedford, when near Trenton,
was thrown from the track by the breaking
Of the axle Of the baggage car, which, to-
gether with two passenger cars, was thrown
down an embankment 80 feet. Two persons
hurt seriously, none killed. The cars were
demolished.

81 cents

on every hundred dollars, for Slate purposes a
lone!
Now if they were really paying off the
State debt, we might bear this, without much
to have this amount wrung
from the hard labor of the people, merely that
our public officers may have high salaries, is
too intolerable to be borne.
If the people wish to get rid of those bur-
dens, they must demand two thngs-lst.
The reduction of the salaries of our officers
to fair rates-and, end. The prompt payment
of our State debt.
| To get these desirable objects accomplished,
i: will be necessary to place the Wings in
power, and keep them there. Nothing short
of this will accomplish the object. The Lo-
cofocos have been tried, again and again, and
have always been found wanting. The Wings
have proved faithful to the interests of the
people-and the turning over the power to
thelocofocos, in this state, will cost the people
many hundreds of thousands of dollars
which should have gone towards liquidatine
the State debt-but which in fact, has gone
to fill the Golfers of our State and Judicia
officers, and pockets of the most contempta
BILE body of men that were ever dignifed will
the name of Legislators.
Let the people rouse up and take the fel
in time. Let them select those who hav
some interest and feeling in common wit
themselv elves--in other words, let them Selec
true Wings, who are al,oays the true friend
of the people, and the good work will be &C
complished.
