corruption from the highest office in the
gift OF the people, down to superintendent

which the passage of said act was consum-
mated.
After the report of the committee, the fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted almost
unanimously:
Whereas the recent passage Of the act or
ganlzlng the Kansas and Nebraska territories
legallzlng the introduction of slavery therein,
Is IN violation of solemn compact, and
whereas all parties of the south. with few
honorable exceptions. united for this end
and We're opposed by the great majority OF
the north therefore
Resolged That we recognize but two polt-
ical parties in this country, one slave oil
garchy, composed of slavery propagandists
of the south and their few adherents at the
north, and the other the democracy OF the
people, who are opposed to vassalage of ev-
cry form and under every circumstance.
Res0lUed, That since the issue has beer,

Agreeably to previous arrangements the
anniversary of American independence was
celebrated in this town by union of the
several Sabbath schools. At 10 o'clock A.
NJ, each school with its banner formed in
procession and proceeded from the Baptist
church to the grove south from the court
house, where the exercises were opened by a
song, prayer by Rev. a. Brown, reading the
declaration of independence by E. G. Brad
ley, an address by Rev. w. w. Williams Of
Toledo, juvenile addresses spoken by Gilbert
Beach and Carey Lindsay, interspersed with
songs by the juvenile choirs. At the close,
the youth and such others as chose to par
take, were served with picnic dinner, got
up by the ladies in style highly creditable
to their skill and taste. The address of Rev.
w. W. Williams was highly appropriate to
the occasion, instructive to all, and particu-
larly so to the youth, to whom it was more
Immediately directed. Rev. P. d. Pelton
being called upon briefly responded in his
usual happy style and instructive language
The attendance of the scholars was very
general, and much to their credit and that of
their teachers, their department was very
orderl y and quiet. Parents and Others were
also there in large numbers, indicating that
the anniversary of that glorious day which
gave birth to our national independence, was
still kept i'll remembrance; and that they
were not unmindful of the utility of cult
waiting the affections as well as the intellects

Reduction in the State Levy.

1t is now well understood that the levy
for State purposes has been reduced By the
Auditor OF State from 81 cents on the hun
dred dollars 10 354 cents on the hundred
dollars. This fact has been seized on by
some of the Democratic papers as showinp
that the taxes of each individual tax paver
will be less this year than last, and the pub
lie have been advised to congratulate them
selves on the result. Now it is all n mis-
take that this fact leads to any such resul,
Each individual who has the same nroper,v
this year as he had last will pay the same
amount of taxes. The way this happans i
thus The same property which last wear
was put on the tax list at $1,000. is this
year put on at 81 ,437-the productiveness
OF the property in the meantime not hayinu
changed the least. Last year the Auditor
wanted to raise $50 from that piece of
property, and it being valued at $1,000, he
levied on 1t at the rate of 81 cents on the
hundred dollars, and got just the sun, he
wanted. This year he wants TO raise the
same sum from the same property, and find
ing 1t chalked up to 81 ,437, he levies on il
at the rate of 35s cents per hundred dollars,
and gets his s. 10 again.
The whole thing amounts to Just this -
The valuation of each mans property has
Deen raised on the duplicate III the same
proportion that the levy has been dimin
ished
Take this county, Hamilton, for instance.
The total on the duplicate last year was
nearly 81 millions; ; this year it will amount
probably TO 100 millions. On this basis the
levy of 35A will produce trihe more than
the basis of 50 millions at 81 cents We
suppose the Auditor meant to secure full as
much as on the old basis, and the re-
duced levy will doubtless do it. In Mont
gomery county last. year, the duplicate was
Seventeen millions, this year it is iqventu-four
millions. The former sum at 81 cents on
the hundred dollars will produce 1886, 700
the latter at 80 cents on the hundred dollars
will produce Ss86, ,400-a difference of only
$500. In Champaign county, the personal
property has increased from So, ,409, 1876 last
year, to $3,509, 1865 this year. The per
sonal property taxed last year at 81 cents OF
the hundred, produced SSl2,2S6. The per-
sonal property in the same county taxed this
year but 36 cents on the hundred, will pro-
duce, Sl2, ,633-an increase of ss347 on the
personal property alone. About the same
showing might be made as to the entire
lState.-lCin. Gazette.

The south is moving to secure the advan-
tages they have gained by the aid of north
ern traitors. The St. Louis Republican ap-
proves OF the Kansas ''squatter resolutions y
urging Shareholders to remove immediately
into Kansas; to locate land, and keep it de-
spite the government or anybody else to
afford no protection to aboitionists, i. e.
those opposed to slavery that slavery exists
already in Kansas, and that they will keep
it there at all hazards.
The New Orleans Bulletin thinks the re-
peal of the Missouri compromise was wrong,
but because it was effected by a northern
senator, (but a slaveholder) supports it. 1t
threatens dissolution of the Union, should
VIM. H. Seward be elected president! The
Times & Sentinel Of Columbus, Ga. propo-
ses a union of the southern whig party with
the democratic party in order to control the
government. The union will more than
probably take place. If such things are 60
ing on in the south, why should not union
of all parties in the north take place to op-
pose and thwart the designs of the south to
form slave republic? To aid in this
scheme, the president, few days since, ask
ed congress to appropriate $l0,000,000 to
pay for more Mexican barrens, secured by
the Gadsden treaty. This, with 10000, 900

CHoLERA.--The cholera has been raging
with considerable severity at Toledo during
the past week or two of extremely hot wea-
ther In that part of the town called Utah,
or this side of the river the cases were so
numerous and fatal, that we hear the people
in general have fled. Two cases, coming
from there to this place, have proved fatal,
one child of George Jones, which died at
The house of Deacon Stephen Williams, and
the other shoemaker named Judson Tooker.
On Wednesday night last, Deacon Williams
was himself attacked, and died the next day,
and a little girl in the next house, daughter
Of Mr. Lucas, died soon after. These four
are the only fatal cases that have occurred
here. we believe. We have heard rumors Of
one or two other slight attacks of the dis
ease, and would advise all to be careful OF
their health and abstemious in diet during
the coming few weeks Of hot weather. The
thermometer daily indicates heat above 80
ceg., and slight causes now will produce
serious illness and perhaps death, which at
other times would have no effect.
Eg~The fourth of July at Portageville was
duly celebrated in variety of ways. The
number of people collected was said to be
greater than ever before seen at one time in
the village-ranging, we should say, some
where from six to eight hundred.
First in order, came the Sabbath school
celebration, with professions, addresses, mu-
sic and an excellent dinner in the grove
Next, regular fourth of July Grafton by the
Rev. Mr.. Green, and music by the band.--
Then the organization Of an anti-Nebraska
meeting, and speech from Judge Cook, such
as a crowd has seldom listened to, in Wood
county before. He unraveled and read to
them hasty sketch Of the chicanery of men
in power, in high places and low, with such
plainness of speech and home-thrusts as to
stir UP noisy hornets nest about his ears.
Some Of his over-zealous democratic friends
were afraid that something might be said OF
done to the injury of the democratic party
and so were not very orderly and seemed tc
care very little whether they disturbed o,
broke up the meeting or not However, af
ter indulging in rather boisterous exhibi
ton of their notions of " free speech for
while, they withdrew, and the business O
the meeting was completed in an orderl!
and respectable manner.
Portageville is pretty little village, sur
roundedby the finest kind of farming coun
try, as well as numbers of whoesouled, lib
eral minded, jovial men, and fair and beau
tiful women and daughters. We like tn

success in their railroad projects, and hop

cess Of the British force that dashed

hardly be considered an affair of hgi.
innate warfare, being little more than
