The above is the amount which now stands
charged on the Tax Duplicate of this county
against the Portage County Branch Bank;
and it is this amount the peoplehave to pay
more than they would if this charted shave
shop were compelled to disgorge. The Dem
ocratic party are determined that the Bank
shall not be permitted to shoulder this bur-
den upon the people, aud they vii never a.
bandon their position. Do the people de-
sire that this Bank shall be permitted to es.
cape the payment of this tax, justly assessed
against it! or; do they demand that it shall
stand on the same footing with themselves!
If the latter, they must elect different men
than Erasmus Needham and Lyman Bryant,
old Wings, in favor of taxing Banks on their
profits only, and Ezra B, Taylor, who is a
stockhUlder and Director in this same Bank.
These are pretty men in whose hands to
entrust the collection of these Bank taxes!-

The "Republicans" of Trumbull and Ma
honing counties have nominated Mr. Taylor.
Cashier of the Mahoning County Bank, as
their candidate for Senator; and in nearly
every county in the State that party are
nominating men who belonged to the old
Wing party, and who believe in taxing Banks
on their profits only, while the people are
taxed on their entire property. This fact is
signiinant. "Straws show which way the
the wind bows" Indeed are there living
issues which are sought to be covered up by
the constant howl about ''Nebraska" and
''slavery," which Immediately concern the
welfare of the people, and demand their con-
sideration; and will they continue to heed
the brawliDg agitators while the chains are
being forged for their own limbs fthe old

called Republican party that "stinheth" very

The Terrible Epidemic i'm Ports

The terrible fatality attendant upon the
progress Of the epidemic in Portsmouth and
Norfolk, Va. is without parallel. So rap
id is the progress of the disease, that the
living are unable even to bury the dead
Funeral rites and ceremonies are unkno wn.
Trenches are dug, and into these in many
cases the uncoffined corpses are thrown. A
letter in the Express dated Norfolk, says:-
From sunrise yesterday, to midnight, fifty
poor creatures were shoveled away, under
the cold sod!" A letter from Portsmouth
says: There have been forty nine deaths
since sundown on Saturday, to 12 o'clock
Monday, and it is feared the mortality will
be greater to-day than on any previous one.''
Truly these are doomed cities. We are
glad to learn that in many parts of the coun-
try large sums have been raised for the re-
lief of the sufferers. Sixty thousand dollars
has been paid over already. 1t is cheering
to know that while death RACES among the
families of these cities, they are not forgot
ten or passed by, by the benevolent and phi.
laathropic Of other and more favored local..
ties.

that we learned of the total destruction by
fire, of f'the building containing the office of
the "Star of the Kanawha Valley" publish
ed by Rundle & Murrell, two energetic and
highly meritorious gentlemen of Buffalo,
Virginia. The Star was one of the very
best Democratic papers of Virginia, and was
daily increasing in popularity and useful
ness, but the midnight burglar had to. ruin
by night and the torch, what he could not
accomplish by daylight and argument. II
there is one on earth whose black heart de-
serves eternal roasting more than another,
it is the pitiful dastard, who, by fendish
malice would destroy the all OF an industri-
GUS rival, whom superior ability enables to
live amid the continual frown Of a jealous
community, We are happy to learn from
their extra that Truth crushed to the earth
will rise again" Such energy and such
zeal cannot die, neither can malicious envy
forever crush the brilliant luminary of the
Kanawha Valley.-EG.

TAe proceedings of the Democratic Copn-
ty Nominating Convention will be found in
another column. The Convention was well
ATTENDED, and the utmost harmony prevailed.
The ticket put in nomination is u good one.
Tho eadidates are ali men possessing the
respect and confidence Of their fellow-citi-
zens and fully competent to discharge the
duties of the respective Offices to which they
are nominated.
JOHN l.. RAENEY, Esq. was nominated BY
acclamation for the office Of Representative.
Nothing need be said by us in regard to the
character and standing Of this gentleman
He has been long and favorably known as a
lawyer Of integrity, ability and extensive
practice. and as available and highly es-
teemed member of society. No better choice
could have been made.
GEORGE SoMERvILLB was nominated for
Treasurer. To those who are acquaint-
ed with Mr.. SoRERvILLE nothing need be
said. To those who are not personally ac-
quaimed with him, we would say that he is
an honest and Industrious mechanic, fully
capsule ia every respect, and worthy of
cordial aupport.
HENRY H. STEVENS was nominated for
the otnee OF Prosecuting Attorney. AS an
honest, straightforward man of business,
prompt and efficient in the performance of
every duty. no man in Portage county stands
better He was admitted to the bar several
years ago, and since that time has been en-
gagged either 10 the practice Of his profession,
or as Deputy in the Auditors Office of the
county. In the last named position he is,
perhaps, more known to the citizens of this
county, or vicinity, where ne has justly won
foI himselfthe good will and admiration Of
all parties. This ir an excellent and popu.
lar nomination.
DAVID JOHNS, Of Palmyra, was nominated
for Commissioner. He is one of the ablest
and most influential citizens in Portage
county, and is tower of strength to the De-
mocracy. Firm, consistent and intelligent,
he stands living argument to show that
the naturalized citizen can be and is true to
the land of his adoption, and true to the re-
republican form Of Government under which
We live.
JOHN E. BARNARD, the candidate for Re-
corder, is admirably qualified for that office.
He is we'll educated, good penman, and
thoroughgoing man of business. He de-
serves and will receive the hearty support
of the Democracy.
JAMES STIRLING, candidate for Infirfhary
Director, like Mr.. JOHNS. is guilty of the
crime of being born in a foreign land. He
Is an intelligent and we'll educated man, and
an unfinching Democrat of the Jefferson
school. No better man could have been
nominated. lie deserves and will receive
cordial support.
The ticket throughout is composed of true
and tried men. The platform of principles
adopted by the Convention is a fair exposi.
tion OF Democratic doctrines, and we doubt
not will receive the hearty approval of every
man in the county who chsrishes the princi-
pies OF Civil and Religious Freedom.

day of election, six are now vacant. Anoth.

In late speech which Chase made in
the interior of Ohio, as reported in his
Abolition organ, the state Journal, we
find the following:
"Hon. S. P. Chase followed in a manly
and dignifed speech. He discussed the
issues of State policy, the ontrages of the
slave power, particularly the repeal of
Missouri Restriction, IN way and man.
ner that told with an irresistible effect
upon the audance. He spoke of the A.
merican party as an organization that he
once feared would ignore the slavery
question, but in that he has been happily
dsappoin ted. They had modified their
creedand taken such noble and indepen-
dent stand at Philadelphia, that he now
had little doubt that it would in future be
the means of doing great good"
Mr.. Chase has little doubt now that the
Know Nothing organization "will in the
future, be the means of doing great good"
