this iswhat some folks call equal justice! A. has
cattle worth 500 for which he owes, and B. has
500 cash in pocket for which he owes. The
law says that no deduction shall be allowed to A.
ION account ofindebtedness, and the Court BY il
decision declares that B. shall be assessed and
taxed under the same rule. And this Is the sum
and substance ofthat decision which has called
forth such bitter rdenunctions against the Supreme
Court. For ourselves we can see no Justice in
such discrimination in favor of moneys ant
credits, nor any occasion for such torrents of in
vectve as are wasted upon this subject.

THE TAX QuEsrIoN-Every manner of decep-

THE Tax QUEsTIoN.-Every manner of decep-
ton is resorted to for the purpose of Prejudicing
the public mind against the decision of the Su-
preme Court declaring the 10th section of the
Tax Law of 1859 unconstitutional, and against
the Auditor Of State for having conformed his in
structions to that decision; though we think the
rumber must be few who can censure that officer
!Yr not carrying out an act which the court pro-
ounce unconstitutional, and which, therefore,
;ever had any validity. But in order to shew that
the decision and the rule which it establishes is
unjust and oppressive, they assert that ittaxes the
people on their Indebtedness. They know that
this is untrue, that the decision requires no man
to list what he owes. 1t simply provides that
deductions cannot be allowed from moneys and
credits on account of indebtedness, rule that has
always been applied to real estate and personal
property by every tax law ever adopted in this
State; nor did the philanthropists who think it
such gross outrage not to allow spectators and
money lenders to make these deductions, ever
dream Of applying the same rule to the farmers
and producers which they ask to have extended to
favored few. The land of the farmer, the tools
and stock OF the mechanic and manufacturer, and
the real and personal property of every citizen
have been assessed and taxed, without regard to
whether the possessors indebted for it or not,
while moneys and credhs' alone have been priv
eged to make deductionsa on account of indebt-
edness thus throwing nearly the whole burthen
of taxation on to the farming and producing class
es. Now, what equality or justice is there in
such rule of taxation, Are not $1,000 in mon
ey, for which man owes, worth just as much to
its possessor as $1,000 of property in the hands
of another person who is owing for the same! and
does it not enjoy equally the protection of the
government! Most clearly it does. Then why
should it not pay equally for that protection!
Ifit is right to allow deductions from moneys and
credits on account of Indebtedness, equality and
Justice demand that the same deductions shall be
allowed from lands and personal property-a thing
that never has been done by any law of this State,
and has never been advocated by any one of any
party.
Now, let us illustrate. Farmer A. buys a yoke
of cattle for 800, for which he gives his note;
Gnder the old Kelley tax law, and the act of 30
he would have been taxed upon the cattle and
the holder of the note would be taxed upon the
note; and no one eyer claimed that A. ought to
be privileged to make any deduction on account
} his indebtedness for the CATTLE. But Speculation
C. borrows 800 in money for which he gives hii
, note, and when the assessor comes round he list.
, Just 90, because he has the good fortune to owe
for the 800 cash which he has in his pocket; anc

Musical Convention and Pic-nIc.

Incompany with several other; from this place,
we attended the Band Convention and Picnic at
Gmrettsville and Nelson Ledges on Thursday and
Friday of last week, and think we reflect the oPin-
ian of all present when we say it was general
good time" The days were. pleasant, and, saving
1.-The dust, no better weather could be devised. The
several Bands of this -county--the Garrettsville,
Aurora, Rootstuwn and Ravenna, and the Newton
Falls Bands-were present, and with the Gar
rettsville Glee Club, and friend Green, discours-
ed music that would pass at par. A free dinner
was prepared by the ladies, which for neatness,
taste and abundance would have done honor to the
proprietors of the "Metripolitan." In fact too
much credit cannot be awarded to the ladies for
their endeavors to make all pleasant and agreeable
on the occasion, and we heartily recommend
young gentlemen wanting assistants to visit
Nelson before selecting elsewhere" On Thurs
day afternoon and evening Concerts were given
to full house, and the frequent applause Of the
audience gave evidence of their entire satisfac-
ton. The G lee Club sang several pieces with
taste and ability and friend Green brought down
the house with the "Old Sexton"
After the Concerts the devotees of Terpsichor
repaired to the dancing halls, and go"
| "Daneed all night, TIL broad day light,
And went home with the ladies in the morning.
On Friday, at the Ledges, the 'order Of exercis-
es' was continued, and music, dancing and feast
ing put every one on good terms with the world
in general and himself in particular. From one
to two thousand people were scattered around,
wandering through crevices and over rocks, lis
tening to the music and enjoying the romance OF
the scenery. ~
After partaking of a cold collation. Qor which
we were again indebted to the kindness Of the
ladies) the crowd assembled at the base of very
romantic rock and listened to the orator Of the day,
Gen. N. EGGLEsToN, of Aurora. We will not
speak of the address, as we doubt not it will be pub
lished, and only say that the General is an 'origi-
nal eccentricity," and this address partook of the
nature of the author, meeting the universal COM
mendation of his hearers. ...E.
After a song from friend Green, and full
chorus by the Bands, the assembly dispersed,
manilesting satisfaction with the occasion, and
general admiration of the ladies and lodges, and
a universal desire for more occasions "ofthe same
sort.' ...

Important Arrests.

Our city Marshal, with commendabe zeal,
prompted, no doubt, by the hattering encourage
ment ofthe fusion organ, has been doing an extern
sive business in his official capacity for few days
past. Within the last week one culled pusson,
three hogs, and an Irshman have been the VIC
TINS of executed justice. The former persoLag ages
have been impounded, and the Emerald gentle
man arrested slightly. The negro was charged
with assauting, beating, and threatning to kill
divers persons, and making a business of insulting
respectable ladies whenever he had an opportu-
nifty. He claimed in justification that he belong
ed to degraded race that were imposed upon b.
the whites, and that he owed no feaIty to any law
but the famous "higber law" of abolition notor'
ETY.. Was ofthe opinion that "this slavery ques
ton was great question:" The Irisiman whel
arrested refused to accompany the marshal, anc
no persuasion could induce him to change hit
opinion.

Anti-Slayery Convention.


The second day Of the anti-slavery convention
was thny attended, and the proceedings were
very tame; the Rev. Mr.. Stetson, a Unitarian
preacher, Stephen D. Foster and others spoke.
Foster denounced the Free Soers as traitors to
liberty, for their agency in elevating Caleb Cush-
ing to the Supreme Bench of Massachusetts.
No party that ever existed in this country, he
said, had ever committed SO vile, shameless, and
fragrant an outrage upon the community. Other
persons including Messrs. Sumner, Giddings and
ex-Governor Boutwell,, were also denounced BY
him as lick spittles and doughfaces.s He was fre-
qucntly interrupted by mingledhisses, cheers, and
catcalls, Foster was replied to by one of his abb
olition brethren from Salem, who administered
to him a scathing rebuke. $ ~ = '4'ul
In the evening, Mrs. Emma Coe, Of Buffalo,
addressed the convention. ,5n 3H, ewo f44as
A rich scene also occurred between Mr.. l.. Gar,

leaders abused each other heartily. ~ II

0J The Louisville Journal, published in u
slave State, opposed the Nebraska Bill with
about the same degree of violence as some of the
abolition Journals ofthe North. 1t declares that
it is "a bill under which slauery tooud neuer find its
rGy TO single foot Of new territory" and speaks
Of it as "a bill that really holds out advantages to
the north, and none whatever to the SOUTH
This is the light in which all the southern oppo-
nents of the bill regard it. Bolts, Benton, Clem.
ems, Houston, all declare that the South gain
nothing bythis bil-that slavery will never be ex-
tended over these territories; and further, that
under the principle recognized and established by
it, slavery cannot be established in any territory
that may hereafter be acquired by this nation.

Washington correspondent of the Ncw York
Tribune, under date of May ls, writes:
"No one doubts here that Nebraska, if it pass.
Is, is to be soon followed by the annexation Of
Cuba, and the re-establsshnent Of The slave trade"
This is fair sample of the bugbears which the
Tribune and its anti-Nebraska coadjutors have
been in the habit of holding up to frghten guilt
BILE people in the north. It is very, likely that
Cuba will be annexed, but the idea that Tie slavt
trade Is to be re-estoblished is unmatched in absr.
dity except by that other persistent absurdity that
the effect of the Nebraska bill will be to extend
slavery.
