The Tax Question.

This illegitimate issue that was so wan
tonly thrust upon the people by the Loco
focos is recoiling with momentous force upon
their corrupt heads, and working out results
more propitious to the Republicans than the
Locofocos, conceived to appropriate to
themselves. We are very glad that they,
themselves were instrumental in opening
the eyes of the people.
They thought that by dint of falsehoods
well stuck to, they would carry their point;
but alas, they were doomed to suffer for
their wickedness. They see that the peo-
pie are becoming aware of the enormity Of
their corruption, and are quaking for fear
of the verdict about to be pronounced
against them.
VOTERS OF SANDUSKY COUNTY,
Recollect that the expenses of the Repub-
lican Legislature of last winter, we're
$4,000 LESS
than that of the previous LocofOco Legisla-
ture, and vote accordingly. Also recollect
that the tareS of this county are OUer FIVE
THOUSAND DOLLARS LESS than they
were last fall, and vote accordingly. You
see that figures are stubborn things, and will
not falsify as some of the Locofoco stump
ers do. As an evidence of their a0alfullg
faEsJying in regard to this matter we will
only refer our readers to their own confession
of Judgment as evidenced by the chivalrst
Locofoeo Prosecuting Attorney refusing, OIL
in palmer and more truthful terms backing
out from an alteration with our faithful and
talented State Senator, after having passed
the challenge, and vsunted how he was
"going to skin him alive" and "make the
wool fly" &C., with other decorous and dig
nifed expressions.
We repeat voters of Sandusky county, rec
ollect all these things when you go to the
polls to vote. Will you again entrust pow
er and confidence in the hands of men who
have been so basely trying to deceive you
Ifyou DOVE will certainly consider ourselves
deceived in you. Vote for those aOhO de-
crease your tdreS.

DISPATCHES from Kansas to the goth inst.
show that violence and ruffianism are not
vet 'scrushed out" in the Territory. The
border is stated still to be closed against In
cress or egress by Free State men, and an
other brutal double murder is reported
near Westport; two men passing from Law
renee to Kansas City, having been taken
from the stage and deliberately shot. A
late letter from a correspondent also states
that party of Missourians, on their way
home from the threatening of Lawrence,
shot gentleman named DAVID S. BUFFUM
through the body, because he was unwilling
to part with his horse. Gov. GEARY was
but short distance from them when ne was
shot and rode off as fast as ne could TO
nrevent further bloodshed, but it IS not yet
known if he has brought the murderers to
iustiee. 1t was reported that ne would de-
Glare the territory under martial law if the
rofians did not leave in a few days. The
same correspondent states that he believes
Gov. GEARY 'has bargained for more than
he can pay-that he is resolute, untlring
man, of the jackson school, determined to
do his utmost to preserve order-that the
Grand secret of his mission is to aid Buchan-
an, by quelling the storm, as far as possible,
in observance of the organic act," but that
neither he nor any other man can secure
peace in the Terityry in until a change of
administration policy is effected, by which
the settlers will be relieved of the odious
law imposed upon them by foreign invaders.

FOREIGNERS,

Read the following words uttered by
James Buchanan in his fourth of July ora
tom
"Above all, we ought to dri0e from our
shores foreign influence and cherish ercIls-
size American feelings. Foreign influence
has been in every age the curse of repub-
lies, her jaundiced eye sees all things in
false colors. The thick atmosphere of pref
udice, by which she is forever surrounded,
excludes from her sight the light of reason" 4"
And now the Buchaniers have the IN
blushing efrontery to ask the foreign portion
of our citizens, to vote for the man who
wished them from American shores. For
eigners will not be so easily duped, they de-
sire to see Freedom extended, not Slavery

by municipal law, while FREEDOM remains

Brooks, showed the aUhite feather. He had

MORE WITcHcRAFr.

In addition to the record of the sad results of the
working of Northern free society, published last
week, we have an account of other most inhuman
murders committed under the same influences Tho
following is the purport of a telegraph despatch,
dated at New Haven, Connecticut, January 2:-
Two murders were committed in Woodbridge, six
miles from this city, yesterday by Charles Sanford
on insane maj, about twenty-six years old. 1t is
supposed he was in the woods chopping, and that
when he camo out he killed Enoch Sperry, who was
riding by in his sleigh Mr.. Sperys bead was cut
OFT. He was the farther of N. D. Sperry, s. :retary
OF the State. Sanford then went to the home Of
lchabod Umberfeld, farmer, and killed him with
his axe Sanford is in jail. he appears to be raw
ing maniac. He is the nephew of Alemcron Sanford,
who was one of the Wakemanites arrested on suspi-
clon OF connection with the murder of Justus
Matthews. Sanford has been two or three times at
the Insane Retreat. To-day he is muttering sense
less jargon with occasional oaths.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

In accordance with the request we publish in an

fifty of the members of the Legislature looking to
representation on the part Of this State in the Gin

was signed by Col. W1THERspooN, and Messrs CLAW
SON, WALLACE and WILLIAMS, of our Delegation
We do not speak advisedly but we are inclined to
the belief that the meeting on Sales-day in March
is ttfxed fact"
We have to regret that on this important question
of State policy there is not that entire unanimity of
feeling which is so indispensable to the efficiency
and success of the contemplated movement. 1t is
certain that the State will be represented in the
Convention and in view of this fact an effort should
be made to bring about this representation that it
may carry with it full force and virtue To bring
the matter home we have to regret too, that in de-
ference to the opinion of associate editor we must
acknowledge the ENQUIRER to be "like unto house
divided against ITSELF" This has hitherto kept our
paper silent upon the subject-the only decided ex-
preston of opinion having been made briefly by the
writer of this article, in one of his letters of
pondence. Whatever may hereafter be written in
reference to this question will be readily ascrbed to
the proper person. F.a
We have been requested to publish the able letter
of Mr.. Orr to Col. DUDLEY. 1t will probably ap.
pear in our next issue. -" - .--
