The STATE Tax,

pockets Of the people were appeald to by
the leaders Of the democratic party to
heap. odium upon wings for the "unpar.
nonable" act.
But time has "moved apace." The
Democratic party are now in power; they
change the constiution--create new Off,
ces--increase salaries--set in legislative
confab about one,thrd of each year,
and what is the reSultl Why, that is
easily guessed at. The whig tax law,
minute and exact as it was. is found in.
adequate to meet current expenses-io
pay demands and to keep up the credit oil
the State abroad.
So this same democratic. anti.tax party,
remodle the whig tax law. and bring still
more property on t'e tax duplicate. This
was done that they might be able to meet
the increased expenditures Of the State
without raising the percentum oI taxa.

the State tax was thirty five cents to the

This we might feel encouraged to stand
without much fault finding. it the money
or any considerable portion Of it, was
appropri ted TO the payment of the State

debt remains about as it was, while a full
treasury is emptied annually by set OF

possessed power 10 represent this or any

Columbus and Hooking Valley Rail
ROad Company Organized.


We are happy to announce the organ
izalion Of company for the purpose Of
building this very important road, See
the notice for opening books for subscrip.
lion, in our advertising columns. This
route has been favortiie one with us for
some tine past. We regard it as of more
importance to the business increase, and
growth of the Capital City, than any other
route now in contemplation from this
point. We want the timber, stone. sail.
coal and iron of the Hooking Valley, and
the completion of this road will give US all
we desire in that respect. We learn with
much pleasure that the best feeling exists
toward the enterprise on the entire line.
Il is proposed to commence at Columbus.
and. passing through Franklin, Fair
field. Hooking, Athens and Washing
ion counties, on the most eligible route,
unite with the Boltimore and Ohio road.
through the Northwestern road, at such
points as may be found the most eligible.
The capital stock is fixed at trco millions
o dollars. and the distance, if an indie.
pendent line is extended TO heOhio, will
be about one hundred miles. In addition
to its great advantage as means Of sup
plying tine items above epumerted, this
road will open adirect and easy route TO
Baltimore for central Ohio, and the great
northwest II is averred, and an inspec.
ton of the map seems to warrant the as
Sertion. that this opens as near route
from central Ohio TO Baltimore as any
other road in the State. But these are
incidental benefits. We, of Columbus,
want the road because it will give US iron
and coal, abundant and cheap, We
shall have more to say on this subject
