Rumors.-We have Q rumor this morning
that the Republicans expect to elect Mr.. Ful.

the second ballot TO- day. It il mere bosch
Doubtless nine-tenths Of that party would like
to do SO, but 1t Is not possible. fhore are
Democratic anti-Nebraska men who will not
vote for any candidate who will be sure to ad-
minister the Speakership 50 as to strengthen
every ultra anti.Democratic measure and
principle having no connection whatever with
the slavery question; while the 18th section
members from North and South are well aware
that Pennsylvania does not contain more
earnest and ardent sympathiser with the pur.
pose Of excluding slavery from United State.
Territories by hook or by crook, than Mr..
Fuller; than whom that State contains NO
other gentleman whose politics are more
closely cut after the fashion of ex. Governor
johnson. There are at least fifty opposi-
ton votes which Mr.. Fuller cannot get OF
we are greatly deceived in the signs around

We have another rumor also, saying that
the Republicans agreed in caucus last night,
that this evening they will determine lin

him to the last Now, their managing men
know well that they cannot get within ten OF

GEN. j. J. MCDOWELL.

De- The following pithy article we
find in the Chiilicothe Advertiser Of the
9th March. "Gen. J. j. McDowELL,' -
was. at one time, Member Of Congres,
fiom the Old With District. Now when
he can get office no longer, he is aiding
and abetting the enemy. So long as
the Democratic party was prosperous he
could follow it's fortunes; but in the
hour of trial, he, like other craven spi-.
its, deserts 10 tho enemy. There were
many such fellows in the Revolutionary
army after the battle Of Long Island:
The Hillsborough Citizen says that this dis.
!inguished Democrat Of the old Jackson school
ticket, bat "will vote for the protection Of the
and is convinced that the ticket presented by
is antagonistic to such purpose" Gen. Nc
Dowell was prominent candidate for Governo,
before the Democratic Convention two years
ago.. ,-s i1-- D-r
The above we found in the Scioto Gazette the
other evening. We should like the General,
or some of his friends, 10 infom us by whom
"robbery, IN the name Of taxation," is prac.
ticed. The taxes are high, is very true. But
why are they high7 Not because ofeither cor
ruption in the State officers or because of high
salaies paid them. Isthere man of sufficient
capacity and honesty within the State, aspi.
ring to any State Office who proposes to dis
charge the duties of such Office for less
compensation than is now paid We should
like to see the man who proposes to do any
such thing. The taxes are high because the
interest on the State debt and part of the prin.
cipal has to be paid because of the law pro.
vidng for the education Of the rising gener-
ation; because of the erection Of new and
contemplated new Court House, and other
County buildings: because Of appropriations
voted to railroadsby counties, cities and towns;
and because Of poration governments.
What do gentleman wish 10 do who declaim
against high taxes? Do they wish to repudiatt
any portion Of the State debt1 If so; let uu.
derstand how much. othey wish to repudi
ate any portion Of the Indebtedness of coun,
ties, cities or corporationsi If SO, how much
Or do they wish to cut down the system .o
common school education, and inaugurate al
era Of mental darkness, which shall develoI
crimein allits deformity, and drive civilization
Into mental imbecility7 Or, after all, do the,
merely wish to shift an additional portion o.
the taxes on to the shoulders Of the farming
mechanical and producing classes7 Let Vi
have fair understanding. There are only tive
ways Of cutting down the aggregate OF he take
Immediately. The one is, open reputation and
the other is TO blot out our system Of common
school education. IF gentlemen desires this
let them say SO: Or if they merely wish t.
shift portion Of the taxes, let them say SO
Let us have distinct understanding. 4
