How the Money Goes!

At the ensuing election, the people OF
this county will be called upon to elect two
Representatives: and in connection with
Coshocton, Senator. 1t is important that
in this crisis all true Republicans should
zealously unite upon the nominees OF the
party. We want good men to represen.
us in the next Legislature. There must
be change. For the last few years the
public money has been spent with prodi-
gal hand-enormou salaries have been CIV
en- TO public officers; and the consequence
is laboring men are borne down with the
burthens of taxation. Just look at the fig
ures:
In 1851 the total amount of taxes raised
in the State was 4,957,ol2 54; in '53 they
amounted to 81 7,sOl,I66 54, and for 1854
aud '55, each year the tax payers of Ohio
are required to fork over about TEN MIL
LIONS OF DOLLARS
The expenses of the Judiciary in 1851
was $28, ,I47; in '53 the tax payers paid TO
support the Judiciary, S5l, ,59l!-inerease
23,444ll
In 1851 the expenses Of the Legislature
was $55,372: in '53 it was s7e,5o7!-in-
crease, $24,I35!!
In AT the Canal Board was Wing and
the gross receipts were about 100000,
and the net receipts into the State Treasu-
ry, after paying all expenses, was nearly
$5000OO. In 1853, under the slave Dem
ocratic Board, the receipts were about
5000 00O-expenses $55o,O00-leaying a
balance Of only $4,000 to be paid into the
State Treasury. Here It viii be perceived
that the tax payers in this one item alone
make up deficit Of FOUR HUNDRED AED
FIFTY THOUSAND EoLLARs!!
Auditor Morgan has not yet favored us
with one of bis reports for 1854; but we
hope shortly to get hold of one, when we
will inform our readers how things were
managed last year.
The People at glance can see where
their money goes. For the years 1854 and
1856 the tax each year amounts to abou'
| FOUR DOLLARS to every man, woman
and child, in the State. The Taxpayers
have been f1eeced, and their money has
been shamefully squandered. A change
in rulers cannot be for the worst, and mus
be for the better. The Slave Democracy
must this fall be routed.

re- When we hear the Pierce and Me-
dill men declare that let Kansas alone and
it will be free State, we must excuse them
on the plea of dementia. However suudry
Northern traitors excused their votes on
such grounds, and grave Senators, (even
Senator Everett did) so declared on the
floor of Congress. A few months have roll

We receive letters by nearly every mail
asking our opinions as regards slave pro-
perty in Kansas Territory. We can truly
answer that no territory in Uncle Sans
dominion can be found where the slave can
be made more secure or bis work command
higher price. Kansas is adapted Ito slave
labor, as all can testify who have expert
mented in the matter Our slave pOpula-
ton is gradually increasing by the arrival
of emigrants from slave States. who have
an eve 20 make fortune, have wisely con-
cluded to secure a farm in Kansas. and
stock it well with valuable slaves. There
are nearly one hundred slaves in this i'm
mediate neighborhood, and We have yet the
first case of ones escaping to record. Sit
uated as Missouri is, being surrounded BY
Free States, we would advise the removal
of negroes from the frontier counties to Kan
sas where they are comparatively safe.

The following letter Of Southern Sena-
tor, shows how necessary it is that Ohio
chooses Legislature who will elect B. f.
Wade or some equally reliable man to the
United States Senate:
SOUTHERN RELIANCE ON THE PRESIDENT
AND SENATE-LETTER FROM SENATOR EV-
ANS, OF S. C.-The recent elections in the
free States have been unfeyorable TO the
Democratic party, and of course to the due
observance of the rights of the South. We
have however, to know that we have at this
time, an efectuaE check to the fandticism OF
the popular branch OF Congress, IN the Sen
ate and in the President. No successful at
tempt can be made to repeal the Fugitive
Slave Law, or to restore the Missouri Com
promise, SIS it is called, during the next
Congress; what may come after, that is i'm
possible to foresee. But am of hopeful
temper, and have some confidence in the
belief that what is so obviously right will
prevail, and after few years the people
will (as many of the Northern Democrats
believe,) return to their sober senses again
If they do not, and the aggressions on our
rights still continue, we must meet il, moi
by Compromises, but with the spirit of free
men determined to maintain their equa
rights in the Confederacy whilst We are
members of it.
Most respectfully, your obed't serv't.

Iet hi he Remembered.

In some localities the Slave Democracy
are striving to get votes for Medill on tho
plea that be is an nti-Nebrasks man. We
are not certain that he has not said as much
himself. at some time. But, in q recent
speech of his at Lima, Allen county, he de-
clared "Lhat Congress had Ropower to pro-
hibit Slavery in the public territories. So
SAYS the Peoples Press of that place.
This, at least, is explicit and to the point.
When pressed to the wall, the Locofocos OF
Ohio dare not resist the demands of their
Southern brethren. The Statesman, some
DAYS since, was compelled to take the same
ground. Governor Medill now plants him
self on the Nebraska bill, and justi6es the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise. The
people of Ohio, by eighty thousand MAORI
ty last year, repudiated this doctrine, and
all the men who advocated it. Tine verdict
will be again repeated on the second Tues
day in October. LIE: the voters remember
this admission Of the Governor.
The Peoples Press says none of the
speakers dared to face the true and only
issue before the people. The miserable ef-
fort to get up Gght about Know Nothing
ism will prove a total failure. The Press
the editor of which has ever been Demo
crat, very plainly tells Medill and Co. thai
the people of the North West are fully
aroused, and cannot again be deceived BY
specious pretences. They are determined
TO crush out the little remnant Of Slavery
| in Ohio.-State Journal.

The meetings held at Newark, GAINESVILLE
and COshocton, we're well attended BY The
people, and The speeches of Messrs. Chase
Ford, Stone. Bingham, Sapp, and GalloFay
were well received. The speeches Of Mr..
Chase are described as very able as well as
satisfactory TO the masses At tNevark the
State Journal says many who had hesilat-
itated about supporting him, declared after
hearing him, that they were Chase men
from that out. The Zanesville Courier
says of Capt. Ford's speech there, that il
"was inimitable and unreportable. He
carried the audience by storm, and brought
down tbundcrs Of applause. Argument
and wit abounded throughout" The Gosh
octon Age pronounces the speech Of Mr..
Chase as most telling and effective. in
which he gave the Slave Democracy and
the Administration of President Pierce the
seYerest scoring it has ever received iu this
county" The Age adds:
It is enough at present 10 say that it
was a glorious meeting Of true freenen
and that many man, who has heretofore
felt but little interest, will from this on till
the second Tuesday in October, 6ght for
the cause of Freedom and Reform.

REGISTRY OF MONEY LETTERS no SEcu-
R1rY.-Thompson' Bank Note Reporter
very properly says: @
"N have felt satisfied from the first that
the special regulations of the P. O. Depart
meut for the registry of money letters,
amounts to nothing, SO far as the security
of the letters is concerned.
"The law requires that letters which have
been registered shall be done up separately
and sealed aoitA 0ax, and tied with string.
Other letters are not sealed with wax hence
this is enough to enable the clerks to idsn-
tifv the letters without opening the pack
ace. Postmaslers are prohibited marking
the letters and required to mark the pack
aos! What silliness m
Again, the Department assumes no more
responsibility now than before, and all that
is gained by the payment ofthe FIVE cents,
is a vast amount of trouble to the post Of
fee, an increased liability to depredstious,
and no insurance. II the Department
would at fair per centage, insure the
package, the arrangement would be service
able. The present plan is worse than none

A Coon Morro.-THs Republican party
of the United States intends no dg0reSSions
upon the South; 1t tUM submit to none on the
North.
There is creed in a sentence. Ii is the
antagonist of the Slavery Democracy which
constantly labors to assist the South in its
aggressions upon the rights of the free
States. 1t is rapidly becoming the great
ruling party of the nation. So long as
these apgressions continue. and so long as
aggressions and breaches of compact re-
main unatoned for, this party will prevail
A clear, definite understanding of this great
fact will be Of some service to politicians.

Revolutionary Rcminiscinces.

In the year 1925, after all save one Of
the band Of patriots whose signatures are
borne on the Declaration of Independence
had descended to the tomb, and the vener-
able Carol alone remained among the liy-
inc, the government of the city Of New
York depu.ed a COMMITTEES to wait on the
illustrious survivor and obtain from him,
for depost in the public hall Of the city
copy of the Declaration Of l776, graced and
authenticated anew with his sign manual
The aged patriot yielded to the request,
and affixed, with his own hand, TO copy Of
that instrument, the grateful solemn, and
pious supplemental declaration which fol-
lows:
Grateful to Almighty God for The bless
ings which through Jesus Christ our Lord.
he has conferred On my beloved country
in her emancipation, and on myself IN per-
mitting me under circumstances Of mercy
to live to the age of 80 years, and to sur
vive the fiftie.h year of American Indepen-
dence, and certify by my present signature
my appreciation of the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence, adopted by Congress on the 4th
I Of July, 1870, which | originally subscribed
on the I'd day Of August Of the same year
and Of which am now the last surviving
signer, do hereby recommend TO the pres
ent and future generations, the principles Of
that important document as the best earthly
inheritance their ancestors could bequeath

may be perpetnated to remotest posserity
and extended TO the whole family of man.
