Democratic Primary Election.

THE DEMOCRACY of Ashland County, are re-
quested TO meet at their usual place of holding
elections, in each township, ON
Saturday, August e5th, 5
hen aud there to organizes Board composed of
wo Judges and one Clerk, who will open a
Poll Book, in which the name of the candidate
running for Office, and he voters name shall
be entered. The Committee are unanimous IN
recommending that none other than known
Democrats shall be permitted to vote, and that
no Poll Book be received from any township
that refuses to conform TO, and casts its vote CON
trary to this regulation. Each Poll Book MUST
contain the NAMES OF THE VOTERS who voted at
the election-ALL OTHERS WILL BE RE-
JECTED. The necessity for these stringent
regulations will be apparent, when we perceive
that it will preserve the organization of the De-
mocratic Party, which is certainly paramount
to the promotion of men.
The Judges and Clerk shall appoint one of
their number to return the Poll Book, of which
the return Judges and Central COMMITTEES will
constitute the Board of Canvassers, TO be held
on Monday, August 18th, 1855, at l o'clock P.
N. of said day, at the Court House, in Ashland,
when the candidate receiving the highest num-
Der of votes for each Office, shall be declared
the nominee of the Democratic party, and should
any two candidates receive an equal number of
votes for the same Office, the Board of Canvass
ers shall decide which shall be the nominee
a majority of the Board shall be sufficient.

At the same time, it is desirable that an ex-
preston of the party, for or against the present
system of nominating candidates, be had, To
this end the Committee recommend that those
entertaining views favorable to the present
mode, write upon their ticket primary Meet
ing, :" and those opposed, +" Delegate p and the
mode receiving majority of votes, will be con-
sidered the choice of the Party.
The Committee trust that all Democrats en-
t%ertaining feelings favorable to the prosperity
and success of the Democratic Party, will be
present at,these meetings and ~contribute their
influence towards keeping up INSTRUMENTATION,
which alone produces success.
The Polls will be-orened in each township

The louisville Murders. The
Cause.

We propose to show that the Know
Nothing organ Of Louisville, the Jour
n i, edited by the notorious PRENTICE,
was the instigator of the bloody massa-
ere. Even the ill-shaped MURAr, in his
worst days, never attacked the weak
aud poor. PRENTICE picks out the poor
and oppressed foreigners-with his wife
and children, as the objects of his hate.
Not a third of the, population of Louis
Vile is made up of foreigners, but yet
it was deemed necessary by this MURAr,
of Louisville, to inlame the Know
Nothing Order against them. Read
the following from his paper On the
morning of the election, and say in your
own heart who is to blame for this
bloody massacre: .hi
4"Our friends must be prepared to
stand up at the polls to-day in7defiance
of whatever they may meet with there.
They have to encounter brazen faces
and brass knuckles. But our country
men have encountered worse things in
their contests with foreigners. ? .i04-
"Our friends spread a light through
out the city by their torch light process
ksion on Saturday night. Let them
spread a more glorious light throughout
the State and the Union by their day

for one foreign born citizen to vote, as
for four natives. Then ought the four

stIt was quite extensively said and
believed, azfew days ago, that tho Ger
mans generally, from an apprehension
of difficulty, had determined not to go
to the polls to-day. We have now di-
rect information that they have deter

| We are glad to hear that they hayethus
determined, but we hope they will go
with none but proper Intentions. Surely
none of them can be 50 ignorant as not
to understand that if q collision be pro-
voked by them it will occur. And if it
do occur, there is but one way in which
it can possibly terminate.
"Let the foreigners keep their elbows

nit the Fusionists to4tell them that

A Collision and Narrow Escape

The steamship Baltic, on her last
outward trip, encountered suddenly a
dense fog in St. Georges Channel, near
liverpool. A Correspondent of the
Newark Adrcrtiscg, who was on board,
says; -, a-t ..
Twenty men were stationed on the
lookout; the bell and stcam-whistle
constantly sounding the alarm, and, not
withstanding all this vigilance, a large
brig shot BY US within twenty feet,
without being seen; and in a few min
utes after, near midnight, We came into
fearful collision with Il vessel, which
struck US first in our bow, and then,
swinging around, struck US the second
time close to the wheel-house. The
crash was heard throughout the ship,
and; great confusion and alarm at once
ensucd. Captain Comstock was cool
and collected, and showed himself equal
to the emergency. A cry was heard
from the unknown vessel for help, and
a boat was speedily lowered. Captain
Allen, q cabin passenger, from San
Francisco, formerly master of a New
York packet, an experienced seaman,
generously volunteered his service, and
headed the boats crew. They soon re-
turned, bringing with them the captain
four 9seamep and the captains daugh-
ter, a girl fourteen years old. The yes
sci proved to be a coasting trader, load
ed with slate. THE little girl had gone
to bed, and was actually taken out of
1.-THE water, which was.then a foot deep
the oapin floor. The vessel disappeared
in less than ten mitutes after the coils
ion. A subscription was Immediately
started among the passengers, and $500
eollected-S200 to be invested by
Brown, Shipley s. Co. of Liverpool for
the benefit of the girl, and $500 to the
captain and sailors. Very great ankle
ty was felt lest our own ship had sus-
tanned some serious injury. Lanterns
were suspended over the side, and a
man let DOM to make examination, but
happily We escaped with but triding
damage"

twenty-five years. Many of my best
friends are among my political opponents
gentlemen whom the good and wise of
all parties respect nor have they
thought the less of me for being a Demo-

to prove this fact, their hearty support
in recording their suffrage for me on

nThe Issnea LoinaaN

The Editor of the "4Smrs" takes
the position in reference to- he Tax
Law that dedactioBs sho uld be made
from monies and credits. We propose
to give one or two practieaI Illustrations
of the above position: LUTHER, Grail
& Co, are DESTROYS of enlarging their OPP
erations in money lending. Hon. J. G.
MYERS is also DESTROYS of engaging in
agricultural pursuits. They go to the
Mansfield Bank and each borrow $40,
600. LUTHER & Co. loan their $40, 600
at 20 per cent. interest. Mr.. MYERS
buys 200 acres of land, and in course of
time the Assessor comes around, and is
informed by LUTHER 81 Co. that they
have $4,000 loaned out, for which they
are receiving an interest of $4,000 per
annum, but then they owe the Mansfield
Bank $40, 900, which they must deduct
from their moneys and credits, and con-
sequently they pay no taxes. The As
sesor then calls upon Mr.. Myers, who
informs him that he. has bought 900
acres of land with $4,000 borrowed of
the Mansfield Bank, but as he still owes
the Bank that amount he wants tomake
the deduction from his valuation but
he is informed that he cannot make the
deduction for lie. is only q farmer!
LUTHER & Co, although engaged in a
profitable business and protected by our
laws and courts in the enjoyment of the
same, pay no taxes on the money loaned,
while Mr.. MYERS, being unfortunate
enough to have his invested in the soil,
is obliged to pay full taxes upon his
valuation. Such has been the operation
of our laws for years until our Supreme
Court has decided that in compliance
with the Constitution there should be
no deduction. Let us look at another
case. ANDREW Mason, and ErunAIM
SLocUM, borrow $500 each for a term
of years and each buys a drove of hogs
and commences feeding for the markets.
Mr.. Mason sells his hogs on the last of
April-makes a fue profit and has his
cash in hand ready for another opera.
ton. On the first of May the Assessor
calls and is told by Mr.. mason, that
he has $500 in cash, but that he owes
$500 which he will deduct. and he pays
not one cent of taxes. But here. is
SLocUM-he has his drove of hogs on
hand yet, ard. what is the result. He
is not permitted to deduct the $500 that
he borrowed, simply because he has
pigs on hand instead of CASH
Such were the practical operations of
the, Kelly system which the organ of
the moneyed class in Ashland is desir-
Gus of still riveting upon the farmers
and the laboripg c~lassesl To adopt the
suggestion desired by the "1imcs," will
food the State with borrowed, fictitious
capital held here nominally by irrespon-
sible men, who claiming the protection
of our laws and courts will not pay one
gent towards supporting our Govern
ment, because they owe to capitalists
outside of the State, all they are in
possession of. We might add to the fore
going illustrations, numberless cases
where manifest and gross injustice would
be done by permitting deductions on
account of fictitious indebtedness, but
will close, hoping that CARDINAL VOL
E will again expound to us the law
and Constitution.
