any error in his Administration it is of the
head--not of the heart. Our columns arc

RoCKmILL, Jan. Ith 1865.

Mr. Editor, Sir
was this day called upon by the Deputy
tax gatherer for my taxes on personal prop.
erty, which ] thought was paid in due time,
aud showed him my receipt, but, said he ,tha
is no evidence that the whole is paid, and
upon examination found that many oc my
neighbtrs were in the sane quundary.--
Thought as | did that they had paid all, until
they were called upon by the incumbents
deputy. Now whose fault ID this! Maui.
testify the IreaSurer's. BY his negligence
Flushing township will have to pay some
twenty or thirty dollars. In alaking out my
tax on personal property when paid it, and
making it out in his delinquent list, there
was difference OF $l,S3. Whether the
mistake was made first or last, | cannot tell
not knowing the amount of property hat
listed. The amount being small for ked
| over the y 50 cents, together with 70 cents
mileage and four per cent. rather than ride
to his otfic and try To get il corrected. We
will alluw his honor to make some mist kes
but 10 occur so frequent as they have in this
vicinity is beyond lorhearance. And it teach
es us the Importance OF placing in Office men
who are honest and capable. Not that We
charge him with dishonesry,but we do charge
him with incompctency. We might with
proprie'y complain of the enormous taxes
without being charged with mileage &c,
when it was no fault of ours, it is robbing
our lean pockets TO rcctiN his Mistakes
But our only hope is that we viii get men in
office who will look well to the peoples in-
tercsts,and to do this the corrupt ncumbents
that now hold the principal offices OF the
State Ohio, must be removed. Had we
not better sacrifice party predictions, and
close our ears against public demayogism
than to be trampled upon as we now ore
Is it not time fellow citizens that we begin
to think for ourselves, and to act for our
selves before the great avalanche of destruc-
ton that is now hanging over this nation
shall slide in, when il will be too late to cor
rect the erratum OF our lives!
