Ohio Free Democrdcy-Free Irade.--Thc
party in Ohio which has appropriated to itself
the name Free Democracy. recently held a
State Convention. The committee appoin. cd
to prepare a platform could not agree The
majority reported the Pittsburg planks, with
slight additions. The minority reported the
same but planed up in smother and better style,
with the important addition of the follown :
resolution: THAT sound policy requires a
system Of free trade with all nations that will
trade free with the United States; and that the
only fair and just mode Of raising revenue
for the national service, is that which BY the
constitution is made the equivalent for slave
rcpresentaton-drect taxation
Free trade and direct taxation Certainly
such cannot be the position of that party in Ohio
or Indiana: and if it is. they will scarcely avow
it in this State. The Sham democracy have
made professions of thi. kind but when they
have the power to carry it out they fail to do
Ii free trade is the best policy for this
country. and the party in power believe it, why
not at once open the ports to the nundation Of
foreign manufacturers If direct taxation"
is the most equitable mode of sustaining the
national government. why do they not thrust
their hands into the pockets of the people at
once. and drag forth the gold and silver The
general government receives nothing but the

Where would the people Of Indiana now End

pay their taxes, and that in addition to the

to see the old fogy democracy. or the new ally
Of that party. try the experiment for one wear.
They dare not do it. They are loud in their
professions. but they have no confidence in
their professions.
We suggest that some member of the legis-
ature should call upon the Governor. for his
opinions upon the subject of direct taxation. -
