Free Soil Meeting.

The meeting on Monday was much smaller than
We anticipated, very few from the country being
in attendance. It was addressed in the afternoon
by SAMUEL LEWIS, and in the evening by Senator
CHASE. Mr.. LEWIS made an excellent anti-slave-
ny speech, urged the Free Soilers to adhere to
their organizations was particularly severe on the
whig party, saying that it was impossible for that
party to exist without slavery, and while he was
glad to see the demonstration in favor of the Maine
Law, he urged the Free Soilers not to loose sight
of their party organizations. He most emphati-
cally turned the cold shoulder on the mongrel
movement in this county, appeared honest in all
he said, and urged it with power that convinced
his hearers of his sincerity, and fusonsts of their
hypocrisy. Mr.. LEWIS is the Free Soil candi-
date for Governor. Mr.. CHASE, the Free Soil
candidate for U. S. Senator, which position he
now holds by the suffrages of the Democratic par
ty he so much abhors. Whether the Wings will
support him generally we are not able to say, but
in this county they propose to vote for represen-
tative who is pledged to support CHASE if elected

The State journal on "Fusion." !"

Mr. Giddngs has recently written letter to q
gentleman in Cleveland, highly approving the
"fusion'' movement, which finds great favor in
the eyes of the Free Soil portion of the allied
powers. Giddings undoubtedly regards it as, an
arrangement in which his party get the better
half of the bargain, if not as total dsbandng
of the old Whig organization. The True Demo
crat some time ago declared its opposition to a
COALITION but expressed its anxiety for ':faLsion
and generously invited the liberal men of all par
ties to unite with them upon platform which
they should establish and especially was the in
vtation extended to all Wings aOho acknowledge
ed their party to be deGd to come into the arrange
ment. This announcement met with hearty
response from the Free Soil press, and Mr.. Gid
dings doubtless sees in the result of the arrange
ment the total humiliation of whiggery, and the
acknowledgement on the part of the Wings thai
their party is dead. The State Journal, the cen.
trail Whig organ don't like the shape of the thing
and comes down upon the movement after the fol
lowing fashion:
After copying portion of Mr.. Giddings' letter
the Journal says:
We copy the above from the Cleveland Tru
Democrat. 1t is part of the letter of Mr.. Gid
dngs to a citizen of that place. We put it or
record for the purpose of preserving the evidence
of the basis upon which the new efusiom" move
ment rests.
Now, we ask candid, unprejudiced minds, il
they suppose these measures, here enumerated as
part of the programme, can be carried out and
still preserve the union and harmony of these
States? Look for instance, at the proposition
to interdct the right of the slave States to senC

Our Candidate for School Conn

The Cincinnati papers of all parties speak in
the highest terms of Mr.. BARNEY, the Democratic
nominee for the Office of School Commissioner
The following is from the Gdsette, the leading
Wing paper. of that city, and of the State:
'Mr. Barney, we presume, will not stand this
test hut he is an excellent man, and a first rate
nomination. His party could not have made a
better, and the Convention deserve the thanks of
all friends of our school system for putting his
name before the people. Mr.. Barney has had
great experience in teaching, but he is not mere
pedagoguc. He has devoted great deal of thought
and labor to the cause Of education, and is, per-
haps. as good man as could be found to naugu-
rate our new School Law.
eve take great pleasure in praising this nomi-
nation, because we feel deep interest in the
cause Of education, and are far more anxious that
an honest and capabl. man should have charge OF
our educational system, than that any particular
person should be commissioner. The course pur-
sued by portion of the democratic press led US to
believe that the schools were about to be prosti-
tuted to party purposes. The action of the Con-
vention yesterday has treasured us, and made us
confident that whether Mr.. Andrews or Mr.. Bar
ney directs our schools, nothing will be done which
is not intended to benefit them solely and exclu-
sivey without reference to any other interest,

The ISSuCS.

The greatest issue between the parties in this
State at the approaching election, is the enforce
ment or repeal of the law taxing banks and bro
kers. This is question that connects itself with
the interests and privileges of the people, The
aoRole people. If this law is repealed, and banks
released from bearing just proportion of State
burdens, an UnjnSt assessment must be made on
other property. But the amount of additional
tax is not the only point Of objection; is it the
greatest. Hard as it may be, and is, for honest
laborers TO pay the taxes that in justice should be
paid by capitalists, few cents, or even dollars,
are not to be compared with the principle involved
To repeal the law, would be to say that banking
capital, while making from Is to 80 per cent,
without even danger of loss, should be protected
by government at the expense of property less
productive by one-half and more. The people.
the laboring people, whence comes the great
majority of votes, and on whom this inequality
bears with crushing weight, will not, we are per-
suaded, consent to such principle.
There are large number of cases now in the
higher courts that turn upon the CONSTITUTIONAL
ty of the late tax law, and fearing the decision in
the premises, the banks are exertng their utfff0sf
power to carry the Legislature. Nothing will
be left undone, no device unemployed that can
affect the polls in their favor. A death struggle
is being made with view to this end. Some
Wings, and many Freesoilers are strongly in ia
vor of the present law. This is, by far, the most
important issue before the people in the present
campaign. Some interest is felt in the election
of United States Senator, and other matters of
State policy, about which there is difference of
opinion, but these are of small consequence, com.
pared with Bank Taxation.
The national Senate will be Democratic by
large majority, even if the Wings should succeed
| in electing Tom. Corwin, which they cannot un-
less Democrats are more recreant to duty than
we are for a moment willing to believe. 1t is due
to the party that those laws which have been
adopted in accordance with our principles, shonld
have fair trial, and if they work well, of which
we are confident, they will become the settled
policy of the State. Should the effort to obtain
their repeal at the next session fail, the object
put off until the law can be test. Any number
of false issues will be introduced for the sake of
diverting attention from the real one.-Ca'vfe1
