Thursday, at the request of several of
our citizens, Dir. WM ARBEY, present.
ed Mr.. CHASE with some Undergraduates,
requesting his views thereon.
Af er the conclusion of Mr.. HrTcH-

a reply. Mr.. CHAsH, 10 tho mean time
having had the opportunity Of fully ex-
aminipg the same, peremptorily refused
and said,

6 Touch the Guitar lightly" Our
correspondent " john in to-days pa.
per, gives some Of the political summer
sets of the Fusion nominee for Senator
Mr.. M~usgrave. As the time is short
before the election, we porpose to con-
dense Mr. Musgraves political character
and antecedents. We do not intend to
misrepresent Mr.. Musgraye one iota,
as we are aware he feels bad enough,
which is owing to the fact, no doubt, OF
Poor Tray being found in bad compa-
ny
Yesterday he was a strong Temper
ance man.
To-day, he refuses t say what he IL,
and asks ti-Temperanoe men to vote
for him because he refuses.
Yesterday, he aoas Democrat. To-
day he is Fusionist.
Yesterday, he believed the people
were capable of self government.
To-day they are incapable.
Yesterday he believed in taxing
Banks, Brokers and Merchants.
To-day, that it is all wrong and the
Farmer should bear the burden.
Yesterday be was an advocate of mob
law.
To-day he is ~denouncing mob law.
In short to find his principles at pre-
sent, ascertrin where he was yesterday,
and then travel in an opposite direction
and you will fnd-not Jake Klinefelter

State and Local Taxation.--Far-
mers of Ashland County, Read !

State and Local TaXation.--Ear-
mers of Ashland County, Read!
As much misrepresentation exists
among the taxpayers of this County on
the question of taxation, and the oppo-
sition are intent upon misleading the
public mind in regard to the true issue
upon that subject, by charging upon the
State authorities excessive extravaganza,
with the uudoubted intention of leading
the public to infer that to State and not
Local Encouragement is to be attributed
all the difficulties of which the people
oomplain-we will again call the atten-
tion of the taxpayers to FACTS and
FIGURES, upon this question. To
convince all reasonable men of the utter
dishonesty of the opposition, when they
hurl their anathemas and denunciations
upon the State officers, charging them
with anton waste of the public reye-
nues, while they fail to specify the ma
ture of those abuses, and to advise the
public of the remedy which they intend
to adopt in case they are successful at
the October election, we refer to the
amounts paid by the County in 1854, for
different purposes, State, County, &c. /:
Total amt. State taxes 9,454 90
To carry on State Govt. 5,26S,32
For Common Schools. 1l,324,45
For library Fund.-. 1877
sa6. s2O.e6
Common School money
refunded to the County $l3,543,4s
Library Fund. 1890. 9O2,66
- $l4,446, "a
Treasuryn.e..a.~ $la,374,5l
Let it be remembered that while we
paid into the State Treasury for Com
mon School purposes $ll,324;45, we
draw therefrom I3,543, 4S and of the
Library Fund where we paid $755,17,
we draw $902,s6, which LEFT in the State
Treasury for the support of the State
Government and the payment of the State
Debt of Ohio $I2.394,56, while we have
received for distribution for only two
purposes $I4,446,34, being s2,o7I ,s3
greater than we pay towards the support
of the State Government! In addition
to this we have drawn from the same
source $I22,32, Western Reserve School
Fund, and Of Sec. l6 & 90 Funds ST.
409,I6, which added to the Common
School Fund and Library Funds makes
Sic, 977, s2, which was distributed for
educational purposes 1t will be OBJ
served, therefore, that the amount re.
tanned in the State Treasury for the sup
port of Government amounts to about
so cents per each man, oma and child
in the County.
We now propose to examine the LO-
CAL TAXES of the County, to ascer-
tain whether the evil complained of ex-
lists there. We find that the total
amount of LOCAL taxes placed upon
the duplicate of Ashland County for the
vear-lS5A il as fo1lowa.

Gov. Medill and Arithmetie.

"The Gov. says Ohio has the cheap
est state government in the Union. Of
the Nine Millions of Dollars collected
in Ohio last year over six Millions was
expended for local obje is and hat the
expense of the State Government was
only a little over se06 900. Arithmetic
says take Sc, 100000 for local objects
and $606, 900 for State Government

be $2,5o4, 900 left. Where is that
Governor !"
We clip the above from the Ashland
Times, Gov. MEpILL made no such
statement. The inference the Editor
seeks to make, is that a portion of the
taxes collected for 1854, was squandered
by the State Administration. Let US
look at the facts:
There was paid in 1854 for State
purposes. including Common
School and Library Funds /. +. $3,077, 60l Al

Trimble Meeting in Ashland.

Trimble Meeting in Ashland
The friends of ALLEN TRIMBLE, had
a large meeting in the the streets on
Thursday, theI30th inst. Dir. E. P.
NORTON, of Cincinnati, addressed the
crowd. Previous to the address 1S
guns Sere fred. The speech of Mr..
NORTON, was well delivered, and at
times displayed some fne touches Of elo-
quence, although the principles he advo-
Gated were repugnant to every Demo
crat. His remarks seemed to be appli.
ed to old line Wings, but we think we
can discover in the movement that its
Interior object is to help the Republi-
can ticket. Our belief is somewhat
strengthened by the fact, that some of
the Fusionists were benevolent enough
to contribute to buy powder. 1t is
true that Mr.. N. is not in favor Of s..
P. Chase. He prefers TR1MBLE, but
goes the rest of the Republican ticket,
which are all Know Nothings. Mr.. N.
advocated the principles of the Know
Nothing order. He has adopted the
suggestion of all Know Nothings, to
commence at the tail and go it all except
the head, s. p. CHASE. This will be
done by many although Chase is trying
to carry favor with the order, for proof
of which we need but refer to the inter
rogatory put to him in Wooster, whilst
he vas making a speech. When asked
his views of the order, he replied it

The Rising of the People in Ash
land County.

4aA0 county
The gatherings of the Democracy in
the different Townships of Ashland
County, indicates clearly that the Fu.
~sionists have had their day. Every
meeting held surpasses every thing Of
the kind We have ever witnessed in a
State election. It shows that the spir.
it of the people is aroused to the high
est pitch. The Democracy of the diff
ferent Townships have assembled to
hear the great questions of the cam.
paign discussed, and interchange senti.
ments and congratulate each other upon
the speedy restoration of the great
Democratic party of Ohio to power; q
party that has always done more to ad-
vance the sacred cause of freedom and
liberty throughout the world, than any
or all other parties that ever existed in
this or any other country. Last year
we were somewhat divided, but at pres
emit we stand united as one man-save
and except a few sore-heads which the
Democratic party has left. From all
parts of the County we hear the
most glorious Jews. The Democrats
are every where organiEing-eager for
the contest, and confident of victory,
knowing that their cause is just. With
the feeling prevalent among the masses,
we cannot be defeated.
Fellow Democrats! the time for
speaking is we'll nigh past, and the time
for action fully commenced. Therefore
buckle on your armor for the contest
listen not to the Syren song of your
lifelong enemy, or sore,headed Demo-
Gratis, to lead you astray-believe none
of their falsehOods, although promul
gated by renegade Democrats. We adj
wise every Democrat and friend of
this glorious Union to see that his
ENTHUSIASTICALLY if a foreigner-is
thoroughly reused to a proper sense of
his danger. Upon the result of this
election depends the existence or down
fall of Know-N othingism, that seeks to
deprive the Foreigner of his just and
constitutional rights, Depend upon it,
Foreigners, your liberties are in dan
ger.
Democrats do your whole duty
Let nothing be undone that will pre-
serve your party and your principles
from a defeat, and thus uphold the in
stitutions Of your State, and continue
your present prosperity, arising from
judicious laws, made by the Democratic
party: laws and privileges a portion of
the people of Ohio will never enjoy here
after, should the Know-Nothing Fusion
party be placed in power. RecOllect,
that to make success certain, W. must
carefully guard against an over weening
in our ability to defeat the
Relax no effort. Raise
the banner of our Party and principles
high above the strife, and adhere closely
to them. The Fusionists are fighting
for no fixed principles. They are a per-
feet Salamagundi of the worst charac-
ters of bad factions fused together for
spoils and the defeat cf the Democratic
party. They do not rise to the dignity
of party ayowing and sustaining and
defending any fixed principles. They
only seek to infamc the public mind,
and excite the worst forms of fanaticism
and infatuation. By this course they
succeeded too well last year, and ever
since their success their history has been
history of inconsistency, shame and
murder.

Significant i!

The Fusionists, in the different Coun-
ties of the State, have thus far strictly
obeyed the orders of the Know Nothing
State Council, and nominated, with
scarcely a single exception, members of
the secret, oath-bound order for Sena-
tors and Representatives. IF the Flu
sionists, therefore, are successful in
electing their candidates, the people
may confidently expect the re-enactment
of all the edious and infamous laws pass.
ed by the Know Nothing Legislatures
of Massachusetts,, Maine, Connecticut,
Sc, and will elect a U. S. Senator who
fayors the repeal of the naturalization
laws. Let the voters beware before it
is too late. Give the conspirators the
control of the legislature of Ohio and
our State will be e~ternally disgraced.
FsA. 1t was quite refreshing to see
how irritable the fusionists were Oh
the eve ming of tie Trimblc meeting.
But few attended the meeting. The
crowd vas principally composed of old
line Wings and Democrats, and Free
sellers. We do not wonder at them
being madi-everything p%ortends to
the defeat of S. P. CnAsE. His defeat
is a /" fixed fact" How pleasant it will
be after the election to listen to the
10 49, -
elimination and rccriminstion between
the CHASE men, and the Know Moth
ings. CHASE men see that you are not
wheedled. L. D. CAMrBELL, GALLOWAY
and others speakers stumping the State
have no idea for voting for CHASE.
Their only object is to elect the
balance of the ticket. Who heard
Mr.. CAMPBELL, whilst in Ashland say
one word in behalf of CHASE? CHASE
men think of this before you vote
There never was such a game of duplic-
ity carried on in politics since the for
nation of parties, as is being carried on
by the opponents of the Democratic par
ty. The best part of this swindle is,
that it is a game between themselves
strictly. The Democrats have no "hand''
in it, and are only Interested in gath
ering in the dead"
