The State Tax .

Such is the caption of quite lengthy hr !
e'eiu the last number of the CAdiz Republican
The object Of the editor is to make his reEderi
believe, that the State tax is higher this yea
than it was last; and then winds up
in the usual whig style, by telling his rea
ders, that the only remedy left to "save th'
State from destruction" and "everlasling
ruin, " is to elect "Whigs" TO Office altogeth
er.
But we have better opinion Of his read
ers than what he has himself, for he imagine'
that they are very easily "gulled," whilt
we believe that they are generally men O.
intelligence, and will not swallow any sucl
''medicine" as he tries to administer TO them
in the article heade6-"Tbe State Tax,
in his last paper.
In 1851, when Johnny Woods" the
"great ! am of whiggery," was Auditor Of
State, the State levy apart from the levy for
school purposes, was THIRTY THREE CENTS ON
EVERY HUNDRED DOLLARS. In 1852, the year
that Auditor Morgan, our present Dem
ocrahc Auditor, took hold of the "reins. u
the levy for State purposes, apart from the
levy for school purposes, was only thirty cents
on every hundred dpllars, thus making a
difference of THREE CENTS ON EVERY HUN
DRED DOLLARS, FOR STATE PURPOSES alone
In 1853, the present year, the second year
of Auditor Morgan's rein, it is precisely the
same as it was lastyear which is thirty cents
On every hundred dollars, apart from the
levy for school purposes.
Any persons denying these facts, can
find out their truthfullness, by calling on
the Auditor of their county. lie will tell
them the whole truth of the matter, proyi-
ded he is not some bitter, ignorant, partisan
whis, who, for fear of offending lis masters,
would tell lie, for the purpose of carrying
out some base political scheme Let it be
remembered then that the State levy this
year, apart from school purposes is precise
Iy the same as it was last year, and three
cents on the hundred dollars less than il was
under the rein OF Johnny Woods, the "great
! am of Whiggery."
Every person will remember how sainted
whigsery last year, raised the hue and cry
about $500 worth of property being exemp-
ted from tax ltion. People who did not own
that amount of taxable property, were term
ed "PAUPERS" by this same Richard Hat
ton, who said then that every person sould
bear their proportion of taxation. Now he
complains, in this very same article, about
there being such a small amount exempt
Those who read his paper last year, and
then read it this, will think there is consd-
cradle po,iticai hypocricy about the man,
which upon further acquaintance, with him,
will find that the half OF his olltical hypoc-
ricy had not been told them.
He winds up his article with long rigma-
role of stuff, in which he descants upon the
"awfullness" of "Locofocoism" in his own
peculiar style. A person to believe what
he says, would think this great State of Ohio
was on the road to ruin, and inevitable de-
struction would be its fate. But reader,
what do you think is the remedy that Rich
ard presclibes to save the State from ruin?
Why to give the government of the State in
10 the bands of "Galphin whiggery," who
will conduct i. as well as they have the U. S.
Government during the past four years, upon
which the people last fall placed the seal of
condemnation So heavy that a great number
Of the leading whig papers think there is no
chance for its resurrection. Place the gov
of the State into the hands of Gal
phin Whiggery," 50 that few more rotten
lsurance Companies, and railroads can
borrow hundreds of thousands of dollars
from the 5 ate Treasury, without ever pay
ng either interest orprincipal upon it, WHICH
was the case during johnny Woods ad
nnlstralon, and then whiggery will be sat-
SIZED. Not before.
