Thousands Of dollars have been lying in
the vaults Of the bank useless, and set apart
for taxes. - Campaign Democrat.
How many thousand dollars, pray! Why,
just SO many as six per cent. on the profits
Of the bank will amount to, and that we opine
is not very large sum. Why is it that tina,
sheet dare not openly avow that it is in fa-
vor Of restoring to the banks the privilege
Of paying taxes upon their profits only! That
is the question involved in this cont roversy,
and we claim that the nominations for the
legislature all over the State furnish abun.
dant proof that is the design Of that party
to restore to the banks this privilege. The
election of Brown, Needham, Bryant and
Taylor will aid in that purpose. But, says,
the bank organ, Leverett w. Cochran, Chas.
Green and Samuel Strawder shave ont col
lected one cent" of the tax. And why have
they not! Simply because the bank has
been able, with the and of fusion Judge
aud bunker Federal Court to prevent them
from doing it. And shall they forever be
able to thwart the will ofthe people, who
have declared that the property of Banks
and that of the people shall be taxed by the
same rule and equallyl And how do they
expect to carry out that object by the cleo.

western States and territories. They settle
In Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico. Oregon
and Washington. Ifpermi.ted to vote taey
will vote for Treedom and secure Tree insh-
tutions to all those territories.
In view Of all these facts, what is your
duty in the present eOntestl II is very plain.
Vote and act with that political party which
l. opposed 10 secret political Organizations
which is in favor of granting the rights Of
citizenship to foreigners. BY this course,
you secure freedom Of religion, and freedom
to the territories. Washington said:
"The bosom Of America, is open to re-
eeIye, no, only the illustriOus and resPecta-
ble stranger, but the oppressed and Perse'
euted oGall NATIONS AND ALL RELIGION whom
We shall welcome toa participation IN all
our rights and privileges" Join and act
with that party which endorses and carries
out the doctrines ofWashington.
And which party is in favor Of civil and re-
ligious lIbertyl and which party is in favor of
secrecy, prescription and persecution
We need not stop to tell you. Eight out of
nine candidates upon the fusion State ticket,
are sDeramen,Jers ofthe Know Nothing order,
the sworn enemies Of the foreigner, and the
sworn enemies of civil and religious liberty
II, therefore, you vote the fusion State tick
ct you cast your vote on the side of secret
political societies, on the side of intolerance
and oppression. All the candidates upon the
Democratic State ticket are opposed tosecre'
political societies and are the advocates ant
defenders of civil and religious freedom. II
you vote for the Democratic State ticket YOU
cast your vote and influence against secret
political organizations, and in favor Of the
civil and religious rights Of men without re.
gard to creed or cline. Again we say weigl
we'll your duty, and act as enlightened iudg
ment dictates.

The Western Reserve Bank stands charg-
ed on the tax duplicate OF Trumbuli county
with $lI,3s6 0s 5 as taxes for 1853 and
1854, which that concern refuses to pay.
Tie Mahoning County Bank has not paid a
cent of the tax assessed against it for the
last three years; and yet the Republican"
party of Trumbull and Mahoning counties,
who keep up a constant bowling about "re-
trenchment" have nominated as their can
didate for Senator the Cashier of the Ma
honing Bank. This is the same game that
is being played all over the State. In nearly
every county men are nominated for the Leg
islature who are known to favor the Bank
ing interest, and who will use their influence
to restore to the Banks of the State the priv
ilege of paying taxes on their prQfts only.
The question, then, is not only as to wheth-
er the Banks ofthis State shall be exempt.
ed from the taxes now charged against them,
but whether for all time to come capital EN-.
ployed in banking shall be exempt from the
payment of its equal share of the taxes fol
the support of that government whose lavor'
and protection it enjoys. Let the people
seriously think Of these things, and wher
they go to the polls on the 9th of October, ,sa,
whether they are willing that the Banks
shall demand their full share of the protec
ton ofthe government and yet be exempted
from just and equal share Of it's burdens

KANSAS MovEMENTs-DANGERs AHEAD
The first movement towards revolution in
Kansas has already been taken. A Con-
vention of the People met on 9th inst, re-
solved to repudiate utterly the action OF the
late Legislature, and to resist every at
tempt to enforce its enactments or laws,
and determined TO take no part in the cleo
ton for Delegate to Congress, ordered by
that body, but to hold an election on the =
own authority. They also nominated Ex-
Governor Reeder as their candidate, and he
accepted the nomination. Itseems certain,
therefore, that the citizens of Kansas will
refuse obedience to the laws enacted by the
late Legislatnre;--that they will refuse to
pay the taxes it has levied, and will resist
forcibly any attempt to collect them or to
punish offenders against their enactments.-
This will bring about direct collision be-
tween the people and the Goverument--for
Governor Shannon has declared his determi-
nation to enforce obedience to those laws:
and there is every reason to apprehend a
ciua ,oar in Kansas, as the result of the
confict.-N Y. Times.

So said leading fnsionests Of this city,
to gentleman in the country, few days
since, whilst talking about the prospects of
the Know Nothing Abolition party in the
coming campaign in Old Ross. No, gentle
men, ,"salt won't save'' yen, in this county,
that's sure. The people of Ross have not
yet made up their minds to follow the fanat-
ical teachings Of such Abolition Disunion-
lists as Wade, Chase, Giddngs & Co. They
have not yet forgotten the iDjunctions OF
Washington, Jefferson, Jackson. and their
compeers. They still revere the Constitu-
tion, and under it recognize no north. no
south, no east, no west," but look upon all
sections Of the Union as entitled TO equal
rights and equal privileges; as they will not
letthe local laws of this State be interfered
with, neither will they attempt to interfere
with the local laws Of other States. Their
motto is--"THE UMoE--Now AND FoREvER,

The Fusion Candidates upon the
State ticket, are Know Moth

ings.
Some OF the Free Soiiers in this county,
who declare their intention to vote the ,0hole
fusion State ticket, pretend to believe that
the 18th of July Convention, was not con-
trolled by Know Nothings. To such we
submit the foIlowig extracts from the circu-
lar of Thomas Spooner, President of the X.
N. council of Ohio Speaking of the Conven.
tion that nominated the State ticket he says
"A decided major tn of the Convention: {:
aSere members Of The American (K. NJ par
ty,
Again he says.
"1He American wds the controlling ele.
ment in the coauention."
In relation to the Ticket, SpooNER
says:
"THe rest of the ticket, excepting the
Governor,) are not only members of the Amer
ican party, but ESPECIALLY ACCEP-
TABLE TO IT."
"We declined to nominate at Cleveland
with the distinct avowaI that all who chose
might take part in the 18th ofJuly Conven.
ton; and now after having done so, and hau.
ing INQUIRED 10 our party EIGHT oui
Of nine nominees, shall we prove ourselves
SO unstable and unreliable that we will not
observe the good faith usual to the political
parties!"
We commend the foregoing to the candid
consideration ofthe public. Ifthere are any
in the fusion or free soil ranks, who, while
they are opposed to the Democrats are at the
at the same time equally opposed to the X
Ne, let them consider well before they cast
their votes for the sworn members of Sc.
cret proscriptive order.

HOW Stands the Case2

Salmon p Chase, claims to be friend
of foreigners, and yet he is co-laborer
with and the candidate Of, that party which
is sworn to persecute and prescribe foreign
era.
The fusion party Of Portage County claims
to be republican party, while every candi-
date on that ticket save two, is an oath bound
member Of anti.republican and proscriptiye
Order. 1t pretends to be in favor Of free
dom while its leading members are oath
bound slaves. 1t pretends to be in favor
Of free institutions in Kansas, while it is
secretly operating in concert with String
fellow and Atchison, to stop foreign emigra-
tion. and thereby secure the territory TO
slavery. Shame!

PARIS Sept. 29th 1855.
Mr. HARr:-Sir have been informed
thpt a challenge has been given by the
friends of 0. P. Brown in this place, for
you to meet him at Newport and prove him
to be member of the Know Nothing Order
Am rightly informed of the facts! are
you willing to accept the cha allenge! An
answer will Oblige---
Yours Truly, T.
The foregoing letter was handed US last
Wednesday evening. We are not in the hab-
it of giving or receiving challneges. In
answer to The letter we will say, however,
that such a challange was given US by o. P.
BRowN's friends on last Tuesday evening,
and we accepted it. There are many gen.
tlemen belonging to our ranks far more com.
petent to engage in public discussion than
ourself. But as the hurlblest member o.
the Democratic party, we are yet willing tc
meet o. P. Brown and defend any state
ment that we have ever made. He has as
serted in a speech at Newport, that he il
not and aever has been member Of the Know
Nothing Order. At the same place las
Tuesday evening, we asserted that he was
member, and read the atfidavits of four goot
men to prove the truth of what we said.--
We therefore accept the challange. We ar
willing and even anxious to meet o.
Brown at Newport and prove him to be
Know Nothing. Appoint the time of meet
ing, give us due notice and we will be there
