These are the rights the Wings (noV Flu.
Slon) party are contending for-the rights
they have heretofore conferred, and for the
Infringement of which they denource the
Demoe, ATTIC party, and to re-establish which
they are moving heaven and earth.
And it the monied aristocracy are thus
to be favored, what will be the effect upon
the taxes? We will show you. The annual
amount of taxes now imposed upon bank
ing capital in the. State is 1857. .O26.-
The charters OF the State bank have twelve
years yet to run, and we base our calcula-
tons 10 regard 10 all the banks at that time.
In twelve years, then. this capital will pay
a tax Of S4, 1884, ,3l2, which would in very
material degree assist in paying the State
debt This is the present system But sup
pose we adopt the Wing doctrine of taxing
them, the doctrine advocated by the Buckeye
State and other Fusion Wing papers of this
county, of taxing them on their profits, and
to make the case strong, suppose they av.
erage profit of t0enty per cent. and then
how will the account stand? They will pay

these corporations would excape paying in
the time which they have to run by adopt
ing Wing rule. and that enormous sum in
that period must be added to the alrea Iy
over bnrdened lax paying citizen How
would you like to have an additional per
cent. added to your taxes to make up def =
cheney occasioned By exemping from taxa
ton the property Of those who are able to
'lie on downy beds of ease"
Our State debt falls due in 1856 60 G5 70
and 1875, and in order to keep the taxes as
light as possible on the producing and la
boring interests of the State, the present
system be retained, and which it continued,
will require the bankers to pay about five
millions of dollars, which under different
system they would escape.
It is the avo we'd object of the Whig par
ty il they can gain the power, to repeal the
present law taxing banks, and enact in its
stead one exempting them in great meas
ure from taxation. "Choose ye whom you
will serve"
If you desire your taxes to be increased
thirty-three per cent.-if you desire to see
millions Of capital exempt from taxation,
while your pockets are bleeding at every
pore-if you desire to have thousands of
dollars squandered and stolen from your
treasury--if you desire TO have the inan-
cial affairs Of our great and growing State
again in the miserable condition they were
in few years ago--if you desire all these
things support the Fusion party.
But, if YOU desire to see ali capital bear
ing an equal portion Of the burtheps of gov
ernment--if you desire to see your State
and county taxes lowered-if you desire TO
see our public affairs managed, justly, hon
estly and economicsly--if you desire 10 see
our Sta'e debt promptly paid and the credit
Of the State preserved, support the Demo
cratic party, who have always in time of
danger had to guide the ship Of State, The
People being at such times indistinctivey
afraid to trust the Wing perty--and the
lowering clouds of population, and bank
ruptcv produc d by the mismanagement Of
the Wigs, already breaking away, will
soon disappear, revealing the bright future
free from talns and burdens inflicted by
