Those PROMISES. Ever since the forma
ton OF party lines in this State. the leadin,
members Of the so-styled Democratic part,
have kept up Z constant olamor against Iwha
they call the "worthlessness of Wing prom
ise," and have been equally studious in thei
endeavors to ingratiate themselves with the
masses. They have constastly keptup some
false and popular appeal. and in this way
have succeeded in gaining the sympathy Of
the laboring portion OF community. To- in
dignantly repeal every attempt to burthen
the people with taxes, has been a prominent
Characteristic of the American people from
the Revolutionary times up to the present
day. ltwas very natural, therefore, for these
political gamblers to loudly cry out against
this sort Of oppression, and il possible, festen
this kind Of odium on the party in, power.
How far they succeeded is we'll known to our
readers. But whether they can retain the
confidence Of those they have SO fagitiously
betrayed and fulfill the many promises made
to get into power, is q matter of very serious
doubt.
Their boasted now constitution, that was
framed by partisans and put into operation by
the tools Of arrant demagogues, andwhich was
to equalize taxation and retrench the expen-
ses OF the government, overthrow monopoly
and place the laboring man on an equal foot.
ing with the arisiocratic banker, has failed to
accomplish any good for the people and pro.
we'd "sors eye" to the party. Instead of
decreasing the amount Of taxes collected in
the State, we find that the taxes as levied in
'6s over those levied In 80, actually increa.
ses the amount TWO MILLIONS ONE
HUNDRED FORTY NINE THOUSAND
FOUR HUNDRED AND SEVENTY
FOUR DOLLARS! And the taxes for the
present year will erceed those OF the past year
by upwards Of ONE MILLION OF DOL
LARS. r...r l.. s...
Such are the "happy realisaiionsp Of "Dem-

have become lntolerable. At frat Il was sup.

of the wvandot Pioneer.

In view of the rapidly improving condition of
the county of Wyandot and town Of Upper
Sandusky, and for other reasons not neces-
sary to bementioned, / have purchased new
press, type and other printing material for the
enlargement of the PIONEER. 1t is my intention
to attempt to get up as large and neat paper
as any one printed in any of the adjoining coun-
ties; and in SO doing, shall have to look to the
citizens of the county for the support necessary
for it's continuance. The liberality of the peo-
pie will, therefore determine the success and pub
lication of the paper, and it will be expected
that each man interested in the future growth
and prosperity of Wyandot county will freely
lend his aid in securing subscribers
The PIONEER, in politics, will be Democratic
and at the same time, claim nothing for itself
that will not be extended to others. While the
editor has his PECULIAR NOTIONS of political and
other matters, he believes that other men have
alike privileges to their opinions. Although l
may publish a political paper, it must and will
be free from ALL FACTIONS, and controlled alone
by the editor. When ] say this, it is not my in
tention to say that the advice of friends will not
be received, for SHALL at all times be pleased to
counsel with my friends upon all matters per-
tanning to the best interests of our county and the
publication of the paper. If however, might
differ with others in opinion, that difference can
alone be changed by full conviction of my
error.
The FARMER shall not be neglected, as good
~ portion of the Pioneer will be devoted to his
interests. gentleman of ability, has kindly
consented to aid me in this department of the
paper, and with his aid, hope to be able to rem
der the country subscribers, good service.
The mechanic and laborer will always find
the columns of this paper open for the defence
of their rights and the advancement of their
prosperity. In fact all classes will find our pa
per ready to vlndicate every thing calculated to
promote the greatest good to the greatest num-
Der.
With this exposition of what the Pioneer will
be, ask every gentleman, who can, to come up
and subscribe, and get as many more as he can
to do likewise The prosperity of every town
and country depends more or less upon the pa
per of the county; and that the paper may be
what it ought to be, let it have a good living
support
JOB OFFIcE.-The selection of job type in the
Pioneer Office being large, job work of every de-
scription will be neatly and expeditiously execu-
ted, at low prices.
The following rules and charges will in every
particular be strictly observed, and it would
therefore be we'll for subscribers to observe these
rules:

Profit of keeping Hens.

Few farmers expect, or realize, any
thing of any amount for their poultry
Hens are left to take care of themselves
as general thing, while sheep and other
animals, from which they cannot possibly
realize SO large per cent on the cost, oc-
cupy the whole of the breeders time and
attention.
Now, let US suppose that a man owns
800 hens, and take care of them as he
ought. He selects six acres of respect
able land--makes good fence around it,
and divides it in the middle. He puts up
a good warm building, 19 by 40. In one
Of these three acre yards he keeps, his
hens during the summer, plowing it
once in two or three weeks, for their
benefit. The other yard he plants
to corn; the crop being sufficient to keep
his hens through the winter. They
lay, on an average, 200 eggs each
per annum, or 5000 year in all, which
are worth at a low estimate 100000. The
hens should be changed from one yard to
the other every year.--Rarm ". Y.
