whissery at the Tax Law.

When the Wings did up the fnanciering Of
this State, they gave Alfred Kelly a bonus to go
the security of the State, guaranteeing that she
would pay the interest on her debt. During the
administration of Kelly, Swan, and Swayne, the
Whig Canal Commissioners, who came into Of
fee in 1910, (when the state possessed good cred
it, they managed to sell over million of state
stocks at discount of from 80 to SO per- cent by
means of which the state lost the sum of over
four hundred thousand dollars, on which sum the
people are now paying the interest.
Under the administration of E. N. Sill Fund
Commissioner in connection with A. A. Bliss and
Auditor Woods the sum of one hundred thousand
dollars which had been raised for the purpose
of applying on the state debt, was lent by them
to bankrupt Insurance company in Columbus,
without any authority and so secretly that it was
not discovered until 1851 when Democratic adj
ministration came in and learned the fact, and
saw the failure of the company, Suit has been
commenced by the Attorney General against the
Fund Commissioner and their sureties. To meet
these deficits caused by Whig plunder, it is nee
essary to increase the taxes go into reputation
In addition to this is the refusal of the banks to
pay their taxes, which amount must be paid by
the people.

The Star of last week refers to the Sentinel as
being the advocate of Rum; true, it does not
make the charge direct, but it charges all who ep-
pose the "peoples humbug'' as being the advocates
of intemperance and alludes to JOHN HARMON
and the Sentinel the leaders of the opposition.
Now we are too we'll known to the people of this
county to require any proof of the fasity of this
insnuation, and the editor of the Star knew it to
be false when he uttered it. He is aware too
that many, yes, very many of those whose names
are attached to the call, are not only opposed to
the ssMaine Liquor Law'' but are openly Violat'
| ing it's provisions every day. And yet they are
not only the Temperance men, but the ultra tenn
perance men, and those who will not abandon the
time honored principles of party in which they
have been born and reared, party thathas enact
ed stringent prohibitory laws against the use of Ii
ouor, and which the Star claims has effectually
put stop to intemperance wherever it has beer
tried, they are said to be the advocates ofrum
This is transparently absurd and self-evidently
ridiculous

School Commissioners.

A good natured Whig friend suggested that the
Wing party had handed over their affairs to the
school masters of the State, or rather they had
been appointed to administer on the estate Of the
Whg party, and were also appointed guardians
But, says he, the school masters were lucky in
nominating good Scott Wing, or their: recon-
mendations would not have been endorsed sc
readily by the Wings; for if they had nominated
Locofoco, it would have put US to the trouble oi
nominating Wing.
We have no doubt but this is the opinion o.
nearly all the Wings of the State. What farce
If Andrews should be elected, the Wings will
want the school masters to meet regularly and
nominal, their whole State ticket, providing they
will always nominate such good no-party men as
AndreWs!-O. S. Democrat.

The PACIFIC RAIL RoAD.-Col BENTON has
published letter received from Mr.. HARRIS HEAP,
attached to one of the. Surveying Expeditions of
the Pacific Railroad, in which the writer states
that through the entire line which the party has
explored, embracing half the distance from Mis-
souri, to California, the road may be made at an
easy and very favorable grade;'an that the coun-
try is fertile and we'll watered, and presents the
greatest inducements to cultivators of the soil.-
The pass through the mountains presents no OBJ
stacles to a good road at low cost These several
exploring expeditions will furnish the country
with vast amount of useful information respect
ING our wide unoccupied domains at the west
aside from the question of the practicabiy OF the
project of Pacific Railroad. Their reports will
be read with great interest when published.

The Spiritual Banker.

The excitement relative to Ira B. Eddy, the
sSpiritual Banker has been renewed at Chica-
60, and the papers of that city are filled with long
articles on the subject, pro and con.
The history of this case is no doubt known to
most of our readers A number of individuals,
believers in the so-caled spiritual rappngs,"
formed themselves into a banking association, is-
sued notes, and transacted business under the ad-
vice and guidance of those who had "shufled off
this mortal coil.''
After while disputes and difficulties arose
amongst the "spiritualists," which resulted in the
doors of the bank being closed and general
suspension of business. A large amount of the
"spiritual'' paper was thereby left in the hands
of unbelevers as we'll as the faithful. A prodi-
gious excitement arose, and Judge Lynch was
about stepping in to settle the dispute in his own
peculiar summary method.
A commission Of lunacy was sued out against
Ira B. Eddy, the leading "spirit' of the paper
mandatory, and it was decided he insane.
1t was alledged, however, that this proceeding
was commenced; by parties who wished to OBJ
tain possession of EdCys property, he being worth
some $50 900. He was seized, handcuffed and
gagged, then carried by force to the cars and TAX
en- off in hot haste to the Lunatic Asylum at Hart
| ford, Conn.
After remaining in this institution for some
time, Eddy exhibited no symptoms of insanity, and
accordingly on the 10Th inst special court was
held by Judge Phelps, when he was brought before
that gentleman on writ of habeas corpus, and
after full hearing, set at liberty. 1t is said
that he will return to Chicago, and Immediately
prosecute certain parties in that city, for conspir
acy and abduction.
I 1t is matter of little concern to the public how
this proceeding terminates. The note holders,
however, have some interest in the affair, and
they will no doubt make some corporeal ''demon-
strations" one of these days which will cause
''spirits to come from the vastly Deep in a man.

den City.''-Pitts. Post.

What Next.

A pretended claim to the ownership of the
whole Western Reserve, has been presented to
the General Land Office, at Washington, by the
ssWestern Pennsylvania Co."
The claim is made on the strength of grant
alleged to have been given by Connecticut, after
the year 1862, when Charles the II granted to
that colony patent for the Reserve.
The Land Ofice,in reply to this modest request
replied, that the government, never having had
the proprietorship of the territory, could not en-
tertain the application, and that the State of Con
necticut is the party to whom to look for redress
This throws the modern Galphins upon old Con,
net, for redress, and we have no doubt they will
get it-TrunabuU Democrat.

Governor NzeFiEs.

The Ohio State Democrat says truly, and says
it with knowledge based upon long personal &C
quaintance with Col. MEDILL, now holding the
office of Governor, that he has been tried and
never found wanting. AS member of the State
Legislature-as Speaker of the popular branch
thereof-as a member of Congress,-Assistant
Postmaster General, and Commissioner of Indian
Affairs,-as President of the Constitutional Con
vention, and as Lieutenant Governor of the State,
Col MEDILL has ever been the same straight
forward Democrat and attentive officer. With
business talents inferior to none, added to high
and commanding talents, we hesitate not to say
that he will make one Of the best Executive Off
GERS Ohio ever had. That, on the second Tues
day of October next, he will be elected to the
high and responsible station he fills, is fact
admitted so to be by his political enemies.

County Convention.

It will be observed by call in to-day's paper
that Saturday, the Sd day of September next is
the day fixed for the holding of the County Con-
vention, and Thursday, September lst for hold
ing the primary meetings for the selection of del
egates. We hope the Democracy throughout the
county will use their exertions to get up full
meetings in their several townships, and that full
delegation from each township may be in attend
ance, rejecting the wishes and principles Of the
party, and a ticket be put in nomination that will
meet the hearty approval and support of the en-
tire party. In the coming struggle let every
Democrat be faithful and true to the time honor.
ed principles of his party-they are the princi:
pies of justice and right and in fair open con-
test will ever receive the endorsement and ap.
proval Of the people. Of this fact our opponents
are fully conscious, and despairing of success
by an honest open avowal of their true princi-
pies, they abandon their old party names and
the discussion of their old measures, donning the
cloak of"no- -partyism,' and raising new issues
with no other view than to SOW the seeds of dis
sension in our ranks, that they may thereby sue
ceed to place and power. There cannot be the
: least shadow of doubt that if they should sue
ceed, we should see the repeal of the measures O.
reform adopted under the new constitution, ant
the old measures of favoritjsm and special privi
leges adopted in their stead This is an old game
with them, and to accomplish their ends they viii
resort every species of artifce for their motto
! is ''we stoop to conquer Letno Democrat b'
caught in their tolls, or give them "aid and com
fort.'' But let every man buckle on his armo
and go into the contest determined to do hi
whole duty.

Gayuhsu5sua ofCo.. Collier.

The Galphnism of Col. Collier, of Steuben-
Vile, Ohio, while connected with the Custom
House, at San Francisco, has heretofore been set
down at three hundred thousand dollars, but it is
now affirmed that the books of the Department
will show that this ''smon pure'' Whig has de-
frauded the government to the amount of NINE
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS! Land that
all the Whig frauds at that place alone,s under
Taylor and Fillmores administration, will amount

subject of expenditure, would it not be well to
notice this little matter?-Irun1bu0D Dem.
