TIE Kozta qfair-Capt. Ingraham Sustained By
our Government Ma-cy's Letter.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30-Secretary Marcy's let
ter to Mr.. Halsemann in the Kozta difficulty, ap-
peared in paper of this morning, after full and
elaborate review of the whole affair, and defn-
ton Of the qualities requisite for adopted cit-
zen to claim protection from the United States,
he concluded as follows:
The President does not see sufficient cause for
disayowing the acts of the American Agents
which are complained of by Austria. Her claim
for satisfaction on that account has been careful
" considered, and is respectfully declined. Be-
ing convinced that the seizure and Imprisonment
of Kozta were illegal, and unjustifable. The
President also declined to give his consent to his
debut after full examination of the case, as here
Ia presented He has instructed the undersigned
TO communicate to Mr.. Halsemann his confident
expectations that tina Emperor of Austria will
take the proper means to cause Martin Kozta to
be restored to the same condition he was in, be-
fore he was seized in the State of Smyrna, on the
18th Of June last. Signed w. L. Marcy.

of Equalization. Silas Crocker is Directer in
the Ravenna Bank. What inducement will ST.
LAS CROKER have, if elected, to put up the VAL
UATION OF REAL ESTATE! Are not all
his interests merged in the one great question,
the success of banking! He will endeavor to
ENHANCE THE VALUATION OF REAL
PROPERTY, in order to lessen the assessment
ON banks. Farmers, real estate owners see to this
matter at the polls. The Democratic Candidate
is OTIS REED, see that his name is on your
ticket, he is farmer and devoted to the farming
interest, opposed to banks and in favor of the
people. Turn out and vote for him.

The Banks are willing to be taxed as other
property.-Star.
When and how have they manifested that will
lingness! Was it by passing resolutions not to
submit to the law of 1851, which fell far short of
taxing them as much as the people! Was it in
refusing to submit to the law of 1852, which tax
es them upon the same principle and equally
with the people! Is it in declaring that the law
by which they were originally taxed is contract,
which the people cannot change? The Star says
the Banks think the "present law bears upon them
unequally," and they have "appealed to the Judi
ciaI tribunals of the country" Would that pre-
vent Caleb Brown and Mr.. Upson, if elected, from
voting for the repeal of the law by which they
are taxed. By no means. The question is not
only before the courts, but it is also before the
people-that highest earthly court-and their de-
cision will be final. These men claim that the
law taxing Banks is Oppressive, partiz am law
and are committed for its repeal. Now, what say
the people! Shall they succeed! Let your an
swer be given at the ballot box on Tuesday next.

IRA NORRIS, editor of the (Canfeld) Republican
Sentinel, has been nominated by the Democrats
for Senator in the district composed of Trum5ull
and Mahoning counties. The nomination is a
good one, and will receive the undivided support
of the Democracy. The "fusionists" in this sec
ton have taken great pains to misrepresent Mr..
Norris on the subject of the Maine Law, claiming
that he has taken stand against the measure

His position on the question of the Maine Law is
such as must commend itself to the approval OF all

sinister motives-that it ought noe to be mixed up
with politics and made hobby by which design

their selfish ends. Upon the question of Tenn

constituents, fairly expressed, without being en-
barrassed by any other question, and in no way

CAN'T UNDERsTAED.-Our neighbor of the
Wing can't see why the law of 1851, didn't tax
the Banks the same as the people are taxed. He
says it said in its title! and thinks it must have
been so. Calling leg tail don't make it So.
Things are not always called by their right names,
nor are they always what they seem. This law
of 1851 did not levy the tax upon the PROPERTY,
but upon the STOCKS of Banks. Now, it is the
PROPERTY of the people that is taxed in all cases.
But the Wing claims that the Banks are in favor
of "equal taxation" If SO, and the law of 1851
was equal, that sheet claims, pray, why did the
Ravenna Bank and nearly all the rest, resolve not
to submit to it! o.

General Jail Delivery.

On Sunday night,two prisoners confined in the
Jail of the county, succeeded in efecting their
escape, by forcing out one of the large stones in
the rear wall of the building, of sufficient size to
permit their escape through the aperture. No
traces of their whereabouts have as yet been dis
covered. That they had assistance from without,
is scarcely to be doubted, small iron bar sharp
ened at the ends was the only implement lett'
that appeared to have been used in the operation.
The names of the prisoners were G. w. Bow
ditch and Thomas Sherman. The former charg-
ed with having counterfeit money with intent to
pass it, and the other with making counterfeit
coin.

tribute to US certain conversation, interspersed
with the vulgar profanity of his mother tongue,

The bellows attachment of the negro interest IN

back the falsehood, and modestly asserts that our
denial of the Forest Caty's statement is lie! So
far the young gentleman first alluded to is con-
cerned, we have no disposition to chastise him in

the advantage of being below the reach of decent
chastisement. And the latter, is, we think, toll

large stockholder in the Ravenna Bank, who
undertook to electioneer Democrat to go the
"fusion'' ticke and how do you suppose he went
to work at it! By preaching temperance and
Maine Law! By no means; but by telling him
that the law taxing Banks and the Crowbar law
were outrageous, oppressive enactments and ought
to be repealed. That is the motive by which the
leaders in this movement are controlled, In this

What Carpenter the Portage County
Peoples nominee for Senator said
when he was rejected by the Sum.
init County Wing Convention.

Mr.. Carpenter said he had always been a Whig
and consistent one. If his anti-slavery senti-
ments were offensive to the party, they ought, al
least, to have told him so, before they sacrificed
him. That he was ready to die in the field, and
could meet an open enemy face to face, but to be
assassnated by concealed assailants, who fired
from the bushes, was at least unjustiiable That
he had been betrayed by those who had pretend
ed to be his friends, &c. &c.
