The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1856-06-11

And WHEREAS, Since the foregoing
declaration was informally adopted by
our predecessors in National Conventions,
an adverse political and religious test has
been secretly organized by a party claim
ing to he exclusively American, it is pro-
per thar the American Democracy should
clearly define its relations thereto, and
declare its determined opposition to all
secret political societies, by whatever name
they may he called.
Resolrea, That the foundation of this
union Of States having been laid in, an
its prosperity, expansion, and pre-eminent
example in free government built upon
entire freedom in matters of religious con-
cernment. and no respect of person IN re-
gard to rank or place Of birth: no party
car justly be deemed national, constitu-
'Eonal, or in accordance with American
principles, which bases its exclusive Or
ganizatioh upon religious opinions and
accidental birth place, and hence a political
crusade in the nineteenth century, and in
the United States Of America, against
Catholics and foreign-born, is neither JUS
tilted by the past history or the future
prospects of the country, nor in unison
with the spirit of federation and enlarged
freedom which peculiarly distinguishes
the American system of popular govern
ment.
Resotced, That we reiteratc with re-
newed energy of purpose, the well-con-
sidcred declarations of former Conventions

We have taken the pains to make out
from the books aud papers in the Audi
tors office, q list Of the levics for town
ship purposes, in the several townships
in this county. The Fusion Legislature
of last winter. which provided nearly three
times the usual amount of money for it's
own purposes, has limited the tax for
township purposes to one-half a mill on
each dollar of valuation. The following
table viii show the effect of the limitation
in this county. The left hand column of
figures shows the amount that the trus-
tees have levied, which, of course, Is the
amount necessary for conducting the town
ship business: the right hand column
shows the utmost that can be raised. By
comparing the two columns, the citizens
of the different townships can see the
difference between what they want and
what they can get.

extra session, they take the little earnings
of the township officers, and bankruptthe
townships. The Fusionist have the te-

that the people are too stupid to see their
iniquities, or, that they are so insane about
Kansas that they will not heed them. Ii
