Allowing an increase of business of three
fifths made by the existence Of the Railroad,
which is safe calculation in new country
with rich farming lands yet unoccupcd, would
make s447 500.
Allowing also an increase of business of thir-
" per cent. per annaum-which is far below
the actual increase for the next four years with
out Railroads; at the end of the next four wears
would amount to the round sum of 1854 GOO
per annum. or the interest Of per cent on
fourteen millions of dollars
Allowing that the cost of the road is four and
q half millions, which is the gross estimated
cost from Madison to st. Croix, and that only
oue-half of the business is done by Railroad the
stock will yield an income of Is and / per cent
on the Investment.
Furthermore, the increase in the value Of
lands on the line and about the large towns,
will amount to more than enough to build five
such Railroads.

CADIz, OHlo WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER s. 1858
The Election.

! Tuesday next is election day. On that
day the freemen of Ohio exercise their dear
est privilege; for on that day they choose
their rulers. Are we prepared for that
day? ,u ,-.. T
There are great principles at stake,
which for veal or for woe, must then be
decided. The Bankers, and the Wing lead
ers back them in their unjust assumption,
claim that they are not to be taxed as is the
Farmer and the Mechanic, but must paw a
tax on their profits, while the honest man
is taxed on nearly every thing he possesses,
and pays his proportion whether he makes
profit or not, without tbe aid of crowbar
laws, to force it from him. The bankers
seek to repeal the just law, which taxes
property, whether it be in the hands of the
money changers or in the hands Of honest
men, who by the sweat Of their face earn
the bread they eat.
There is Uuited States Senator to elect,
and Whiggery and Free Solism are in the
field against the Democracy, seeking to
fuse their discordant materials into union
Tor the sake of the spoils, and thus to elect

There is School Com missioner to elect,

rious school law, so as to ma Ike it d blessing

There is a Judge Of the Supreme Court

and other men should be taxed alike, while
his Wing opponent, the present fed Attor-
ney of the BanLs to resist their taxation,

These things should be recolected. The
contestis one Of much Importance. If the

principles, by an increased majority.

Amusing Anecdote Of General
TaVlor.

We have heard an amusing story told, in
which old Zack figured while President
/ He had been but IA short time in the White
House, when, finding that ladies would call
at hours when it was not convenient to see
/ them, he gave orders to the door keepers to
not admit them at certain times. The door
keeper was formerly soldier, and knew the
old hero well; but, nevertheless, he DISC
beyed orders one day, and permitted three
ladies to see the President. After their in
terview was over, down came the old man
in rare-ao much so that gentleman
who was present, and who tells the anec,
dote, was roughly tod, as the general met
him at the foot of the steps, to ego into

style to the room be meant. Gen Taylor
then approached the trembling janator, and,
fixing his feet in a firm position, exclaimed,
"Why didn't you obey my my orders, sir?
What did you send those women up to me
for, sir? I'll court-martial you, sir?" and
before an answer could be given he raised
his right foot, and gave the derelic door
keeper a kick, which landed him on his back

The interogated was somewhat Of a wag,

"There is no difference

the argument ofsome men, who know bet

OF advancing their own selfish ends. Dem

To the Democracy!

From the recent movements of Wings
Wing Editors and Wing candidates-we
are very ready to believe that something is
in the wind. That it is some disgraceful
fusion (which will result in confusion" to
the plotters,) we have no doubt. From
the secret plotting which is going on--new
at Mansfield, where Wing Editors met un-
der injuncIions Secresy--and again at Co.
lumbus, where the Wing candidates met
under the same conspicuous iniunction--it
would appear that the old scheming spirit
is alive with the Wings. We warn DEM
ocrats throughout the State to watch Wing
movements-guard against all fusion move
ments--charge upon such unholy combna-
tons as soon as their henious shapes APP
pear. .............-
