Our State Pelicy-The Fusion
Legislature.

The Xenia T0rchLight, a stanch
Chase Black Republican paper, has re-
Gently come out in an article in favor
of the present tax law. 1t is even
against submitting a proposition to the
people ts allow them, if they choose,
to place back the old tenth section >
into the tax law. Hear him.
We hope, however, that the Legis-
lature will submit no s1ch proposition
to the people. 1t cannot be adopted /:
il ought not to be, and, therefore, us
discussion mou|d do the Republican
cause no good. The amendment ought
to be adopted, because it's effect
would be to increase the burden o,
taxation upon those who are already
sufficiently oppresscd-the farmers AM
mechanics of the State, the owners OF
lands, and houses and lots, and TO re-
here the M YcaafiLc anil monryad in
teycsts from an equitable share Of the
burdens Of government"
What dees the Gazette of this city
say to the above? Does it concur with
its "Black Repub hcan colleague,
that to attempt to amend the tax law
I" will do the Republican cause no
good?" The Black Republicans, al
though they have made considerable
political capital out of the present sys-
tenn of taxation, will never consent to
change it. Allied Kelly, who will be
the Fusion leader in the next Leg:sIa-
ture, has always been opposed to the
tenth section; SO has Judge Swan,
whom the Fusionists elected Judge last
year AMI we may also include in thu
same category Mr. Wright, the newly
Republican Auditor, whose
about taxation agree substan-
tally with those of his predecessor,
Mr.. Morgan. All of these men the
Gazette bas recommended to tho favor
of the people of Hamilton County.-Cin

This National Democrat when in
this District he was a Freesoiler-is
nominated for Congress in Nebraska
If STABILITY and unfaltering devotion to
the National principles of the Demo
cratic party are appreciated, then Mr.,
CHAPMAN will be elected. True, there
are those who accuse him of a want of
steadfast adherence to Democratic prin-
but we think the charge ground
less, as it is of records since his ap-
to efice-that he is q warm
supporter and defender of the present
Administration.

their committees aud subcommittee
throughout the Territory They have
met in regular convention of delegates,
with every district represented, have
adopted a platform of principles which
in its conservatism and liberaliiy, puts
to shame the intolerance OF our oppo-
nents and gives the lie direct to the
unmeaning cry of Abolltlonisn with
which it is sought to brand every man
who will not proclaim that negro sla-
very is a blessing in itself, aud that
white slavery should be tolerated with
ont a murmer. They have, for the mrs.
time. had an opportunity to know thcir
strsngth and are cheered with the con
v%iction that their numerical superiority
ire as three to one, and that they have
bered all the vote of their oppc-
nents including ever the n~on-resldents-
They have seen, as the mist of SANDER
and Misrepresentation cleared away,
aree numbers of late misguided and de-
eeiyed opponents, hocking to their stand
ard aud rallying under their flag. They
have openly re%pudiated the vile code
of a foreign-elected legislature, aud by
the moral power of their position they
have seen its whole machinery made
imnotent and stationery-its magIs-

Fast Horses.

Prof. Nash of the amherst Farmer,
makes the following truthful, sensible
aud witty remarks on fast horses:
1t is not fast horses SO much that
are wanted. Fast horses are apt to
make fast men ; and we are quite as
rome to be fast as to be sure. Some
times our young men get too fast
We want strong, muscular, yet elegant
horses-horses that can please the eye
and do the work-not hunters, not ra-
GERS, not rosenantes, all nerve and no
muscle, but horses with a body as we'll
limbs, such as will carry us six miles
an hour with ease, and eight or ten
when we are in a hurry, aud will graft
a just appreciation of beautiful forms
and graceful movements. Away with
the old pot-bcllied scrubs; aud let the
waspisb fasts go after them. May all
your premiums go to reward the men
who produce horses best adapted to all
the sober, rational proposes of life, in
as an important element, the
qualification of a taste for the beautiful
and graceful and not one to encourage
the breeding of horses 50 fast and SO
lglN that a perverted taste would pay
prices in order to have a beast,
hat few could have " the like of him..
can have superior horses for the
Whole community, at such prices as
lonest men can afford to pay, and that
Ir. President. is the end at which L
m sure your Society for the P'omotion
Domestic Ind 'stry will always aim"

one he last illed,--Secrctary of that be-
%ncvolcnt Institution, the Ashland Insu-
rance Company. This position was vol
UNFAIRLY rendered him, owing to his ac-
knowledged honesty and his religious
convictions" The position of Govern
mcnt agent to secure Land Warrants,
was one we'll calculated to develop his
many virtues. Although there have
been doubts by many, as to his "honest
intentions" yet when it became known
that LAFAYETTE was seriously troubled
with " religious convictions all doubts
vanished, and every applicant for War
rants exclaimed, JEFFERSON, we'll done
thou good and fIithful servant" others
said "sarely he willcnter into the joys of
another and a better world" It is
sufficient hero to state that lie expired
with a Land Warrant in his hand, ex-
claiming is this a Land Warrant l see
before me-" or is it the blind mans
