They do not intend 10 do 81; and they

TO form public opinion 10 Justify The
confusion they create. Il is the old
question Of money vs. labor and ibe
larded interest We trust, however, to
see this fairly understood, sndthe knaves
unmasked, and we will see il. a.
The payment Of the public debt is i
cherished object with the Democratic
party. To be tributary 10 foreign bonds
holders is moi position Of wisdom for .
great State 10 occupy. Fully admitting
this general principle, in tho present
state Of things, with sn additional base Of
axa,ion Of $l95,o00,O0O placed upon
The farming interest Of The county With
iae certainty that the action Of The Legis.
lature would place the heavy burden Of
hxaiion oppressisely and unequalfy upon
the landed interests of the Stale, and on
that portion Of the floating capital of the
country in the control of honest men,
and that knaves would find convenient
Attorneys 10 excuse the perjury that
would permit them TO evade The plovi.
sions Of Law, we refused 10 acccdc TO
/
additional taxation, beyond the ample
provision Of The Constitution 10 meet The
payment Of tho debt, and the House
sustained this Wow, and the Senate final,
ily, though reluctantly, coneured. Under
other circumstances we should have
chosen an opposite course, but in honest
regard for llia interests we represented,
under present circumstances, we could
not do oiherW iss. and time and exper-
encs will we know justify Legislative
action At this time in this particular.
Asa mater Of local interest We maj
adj that R. H. ellison was legislated ou,
OF The State Land Office, al Defiance,
aud Levin Porter, an honest farmer APP
pointed in his stcsd. Edgerton also },
whose double position, as member Of
Congress and Sinking Fund Agent al
New York, We called attention 10 week
OF two since, was also legislated out Of a
position 10 which he should never have
been appointed. Should The Sinking
Fund Commissioners again appoint him,
they eau NON be held 10 a siric, accoun-
liability. We understand he has insisted
and persisted in retaining Gibson in his
place in The U. S. Land Office, at De-
fance, notwithstanding Gilson's known
unfiness, and in contempt Of the popular
will and sense; and trust therefore in
such man 40 Edgsrion could not be
exercised with safety 10 public interests.
10 saying this, however, wo do not wish
to be understood 10 complain of his action
in Congress. That he has there gen.
orally discharged his duty well is true,
but this does not explain the cause why |
he has adhered with the ,enacily liz has
to an appointment he knew to- be wrong
When recommended, and which he has
since had undoubted proof was as odious
as j was wrong. Possibly he has private
gricfs we know moi Of that spur TO duty,
or more probably, like Henry Clay when
he csunselled the death Of Cilley, he
expects the public reprobaiion to be only
"a nine days bubble" If SO, he will
prove mistaken. se4
In the Senate there were men who
will hereafter make their mark on the
States history. Among those in the
Democratic ranks, we 7may notice FoL-
LET Of Licking, ArKrEsoN Of Carroll,
and JEwETr of Muskingum. In The
Free Soil ranks SHERMAN, Of Ashlabula,
was an able speaker; and such TOO may
bo fairly said Of LAWRENCE, the Whis
Senator from ths Logan district. There
were other men Of mark and usefulness,
but these we think took the lead in active
business ability. pa euso Z
