The Kansas Message of the President in
Kansas.

A correspondent of the Missouri Dem.
oerat, who writes himself ga Young
Virginia Squatter," in a letter dated
Leavenworth city, K. T. Feb. 4th, re-
views the Presidents special Kansas
Message. He commences by saying
There is a great rejoicing in Platte
county," The general message was
pleasant to the rufians. and this special
one was delicious. What a dainty NOR
sci the proclamation which we give to-
day will be to AT hison'sdrunken league.
We quote from the letter before us, this
spicy message:
"With unblushing e%ffrontery it throws
the odium of the outrages practiced here
on the peaceable citizens of the territory,
who endured them. We, the squatters
of Kansas, guilty of no offence save sub
hitting to illegal proceedings which we
have not yet the strength to repel,
are placed in the position of revolutiona.
ry bandits, while the borderers, who
have shot down our citizens, elected our
Legislators. and threatened US with ex-
termination, are alluded to in terms, of
gentle reproof, dilated with an excuse for
their selfdTensive conduct
l came to Kansas as a pro-slaEery
man /; but, educated TO respect the law
and scorn its breakers-no matter what
their excuse-I did not, could not long
remain in their ranks. No true South
ern gentleman can remain in such a par
ty as that which styles itself the law and
order party of Kansas, unless lie hap
pens to be an Office holder, or to have
invested all his capital in the power of
these men.
When l read this special message of
the President, | thanked God l was a
Southerner. No Southern man would
be mean enough to betray his constilu-
ents as Pierce has betrayed his North
ern brethren, or dare to libel them as
Pierce has libelled the peaceable, intel
ligent, conservative New England emil
grants in Kansas.
President Pierce's decided forte, as a
politician. is 10 create political capital for
his political opponents. If his course,
during his occupancy of the Presiden'
tial chair, does not sustain this PROPOSE
ton, this special message will amply
demonstrate the fact. He deliberately
d~estroyes the force or refutes his favorite
knocks squatter sovereignty into an
extremely cooked hat by declaring its
exercise revolutionary, and there is
hardly one historical statement in his
message which cannot be disproyed by
uncomfortable evidence"

Columbus Correspondence.
COLUMBUS, Feb. 81, 1856.

COLUMBUS, Feb. 81, 1856.
Dear Chronicle The celebration oil
Washington's birth day at Cincinnati,
has drawn so powerfully upon this patri-
otic Legislature, that it has adjourned
over, and about one half of the members
have acceptedt the offer of a free ride over
the Rail Road, and a five dollar banquet
at the Burnet House, with military pa
rade, fire works and Grafton all thrown
ina great temptation it must be con-
fessed, but not enough in my judgment
to justify members in leaving their posts
for at least three days. Most of the bal
ance of the members avail themselves
of the opportunity to visit their families,
while a few faithful ones remain to write
up the reports of the Standing Commit
tees.
The Senate are now engaged in dis
cussing Mr.. Kellogs Tax bill the pur-
port and design of which is, to define
credits to be the amount remaining after
Liabilities are deducted, and requiring
banks to list their capital stock paid in,
their deposits, notes discounted, stocks
&c, much as now required by law, but
directing auditors to enter upon the du-
plicate such an amount for taxation as
will be equal to what the merchant and
farmer are required to pay, o.. in other
words. requiring banks to pay taxes up
on their capital stock paid in, their sur
plus profits on hand, and an average of
their deposits. This bill will soon be in
the House and will 1 hope receive the at
tention which its importance demands.
Committees are now busily engaged
in examining the items of the bill pre-
sented to this Legislature for payment,
of a deficiency of nearly 5000, 000, 90
on the new State House, and also snoth-
er deficiency of nearly the same amount
on the Benevolent Institutions.
1 am quite certain that whatever of
speculation there may have been, will
not be found, as those engaged in dis
bursting these immense sums of money
are without doubt, sagacious enough, to
cover up all foul tracks, if any have been
made.
Granting that The money has been
honestly applied, it will be seen when
these Committees report, that some body
has enjoyed fat jobs. and jobs that must
pay. far better than making cheese at
So per hundred. or even legislating at 81
per day. One or two items will illus
trate this point. The iron lathing. and
iron joice to which the lathing is fasten-
ed, cost by contract about s75, O00, Oo-I

A Lie well stuck TO.

-LS "SAA SS0N1 w.
An old proverb says, "a lie well stuck
TO, is as good as the truth" When in,
telligence is at a discount, such may be
the case, for a ignoramus will not read
enough, OF v enough to learn
what's falsehood, and what is truth.
The Democrat seem to be of the same
mind with those who have sometimes
chargedits party, with being made up of
weak-minded, and ignorant people, for
it certainly treats them as if they had not
brains enough 10 detect the %silliest false
hood. This it has done, in again reiter-
aing the charge, that the Republicans
had elected a Clerk, who was a South
ern man in principle, as well as birth
and residence. We gave them proof
two weeks since, that Gen. Cullom was
a Republican, and as such had been sac-
rifced by his former p%ro-slavery sup
porters; but that paper seems to rely
upon its readers never seeing our eI-
PLANTATION, and so continues to ring char
ges upon its former assertion, with dis.
gusting effrontery.
The falsehood is more worthy of con.
tempt, on account Of its ahsurdity. At
Ter the persistent wal upon the Republi-
can party in Congress, which has been
waged, what motive could induced them
to elect as Clerk, one of that class which
has so bitterly opposed them If they
are as greedy fol Office as the Democrat
claims, surely, they can find friends
enough to bestow station upon, without
electing an enemy. The truth is, that
any silly misstatement is better, in the
opinion ufthe Democrat, and all the Ad-
ministration doughfaces, than the adrnia-
sion that downright anti Nebraska men
are found in the Southern States.
Has the Pierce party really become
so demented, that such absurd untruths
can pass for facts

The Fusion Patent Democracz.

The plain truth is, the Democrats in
Congress laid down a platform at the
commencement of the contest for speak.
or, adhered to it throughout, and in il
they declared their hostility to Know
Nothingism. We defy the blacklist Re-
publican that runs On legs to prove fairly
that the Democrats did unite with the
Know Nolhings or compromised their
political standing BY any bargain what
ever. We say the charge is false, and
appeal to The record of facts. Dare the
CAr0pies go there for its arguments?-
Democrat.
II our neighbor Democrat woald occa-
s%ionally record facts. he would aatter his
readers more than he has been in the
habit Of doing very lately. Not only is
it q notorious fact that the Democrats
and Southern Knew Nothings voted to-
gether for Mr.. Aiken for Speaker, but
the editor ofthe Democrat knew il to be
fact, when he wrote the above extract.
He must think the readers of his paper
cannot read anything else.

Ohio Logislaturs-Tax Law.

The proposed amendments to the Tax
Law, are attracting more attention
through the State, than any other ques-
ton under consideration by the Lsgisla-
ture at this time. When the bill pro-
posed by the Finance Committee shall
come before the House for discussion,
the sixth section, which provides that
Ohio State Stocks, and the Stocks of in.
~corporsted Companies which are other
wise taxed, shall be exempted, it will
probably eliei. some sharp debate. So
far as State Stocks are concerned, this
would be no more than keeping inviolsle
the plighted faith of the State, pledged
when those Stocks were thrown upon the
market. On this faith, SO pledged, the
capitalists relied when they purchased
the stock, and if the State fails to per-
form its par: of the contract, it is guilty
Of violating its pledges. Thatthe Stocks
should be free from taxation was q part
of the contract, which she is bound to
fulfil. The following is the section
which refers to this matter.
"SEc. g.. No person shall be required
to list for taxation any investment made
in certificates of the public debts of this
State, nor any company, the capital
stock and property of which is taxed in
the name Of such company by the laws
Of this State"
The 9Th section refers to the deduct
ing Of debts from the credits which may
be due 10 an individual, and which if
passed, will go far towards relieving a
large class Of citizens upon whom the
burden of taxation has hitherto rested
heavily, and most unfairly.
"SEc. 5. The term credits whenever
used in this act or in the actslto which
this is a~mendatory, shall be held to
mean the excess of the sun of ali legal
claims and demands, whether formoney
or other valuable things, or for labor or
service due or to become due to the per-
son liable to pay taxes thereon, when
added together, estimating every such
claim or demand at its true value in
money! over and above the sum of the
legal, bona fde debts owing by such
person. But, in making up the sum of
such debts owing, there shall be taken
into account no obligation to any mutual
Insurance Company, nor any unpaid
subscription to the capital stock of any
joint stock company, or for any reli
gious, scientific, literary or charitable
purpose, nor any acknowledgment of in
debtedness, unless founded on some con-
sideration actually received or believed
at the time of making such acknowledge
ment 10 be a full consideration thereof
nor any acknowledgment of debt made
for the purpose of diminishing the amount
Of credits to be listed for taxation nor
any greater amount or portion Of any
liability as surety than the person re-
luired to make a statement of such cred
its, believes such surety islegally bound,
and viii be compelled, to pay or con-
in case there be no co~-securi-
les.

The Pacific.

Up to this date, no news of the mis-.
sing steamship Pacific has been receiv.
ed. She is now nearly a month over
due. There is great reason to appre-
bend she has shared the fate of the Pres
ident, and that the noble ship, passen-
gers and crew, are in the deep bosom of
the ocean buried. Hunts Merchants
Magazine says that, "since 1852 twelve
steamships, lost at sea, have cost 1850
human lives, and 81, $50, 600 of proper
ty. The Independence sunk with 100
lives in the Pacific, and the Tennessee
and the ST. Louis followed, total wrecks.
The Humboldt and the San francisco,
were wrecked in the Atlantic the same
year. The Franklin, City of Phladel.
pkia and Yankee Blade, fall in the cata-
logue of 1854, The City of Glasgow,
with 480 lives; the Arctic, with hundreds
more precions lives, were the browning
catastrophes of that year. In 1855, we
have the sinking of the North Carolina,
and the Golden Age, which last, howev-
was saved and repaired"
