yyhrre t,.r rrce Igcrpoqs Are,

The census of 1850 shows that nearly the
whole free black population Of Ohio resides in
che counties least tnctlued with abolltioniSm.
There are not as many on all the Reserve as in
the county Of Highland. This is about as strong
practical commentary on abolition philanthro-
py as need be asked for.--Er
In order to verify the above statement, which
we find in some of our Democratic exchanges,
we have taken the trouble to examine the cen
Sus tables, and compare the free colored popua
ton of the different localities with the vote Of
1855. rs - sI
We find that in 1850 the number of free ne
groes in Ohio amounted, to 25,2l7. In thiitY
counties Of Southern Ohio, Which gave McdlI
an aegle gate majority Of tf,91L, there were
1856 free ncGNoes; and in ffty-our coun les
in middle northern Ohio, which gave Chase on
aggregate majority Of 30,92O, there were H.
832 free 5lacks.a st gtrysErsa q la8 a# -

Facts nasGs Figures.

We copy the following from the GAINESVILLE
Aurora, and request the voters of Ohio to reflect
on these plain matter-of-fact statements: saa
In 1855, under Democratic rule, the rate Of
taxation for all State purposes was six tenths of
one mill, or sixty cents OH each thousand dol
lars on the tax duplicate. In 1885, under Re
publican rule or fusion management the rate
oftaxationa( see Ohio Laws Of last winter, page
2l4 is one mill, or one dollar on each thousafftl
dollars on the tax duplicate. z W 9fl ~
sa0feourse the man who paid sixty cents taxes
in 1855 for all ltStatc purposes, did, in 1885, on
the same amount ofpteperty, pay one dollar
That is to say, his taxes ffor State purposes
were increased 40 per cent. Nts9' t7argi
BY reference to the report rof the Auditor of
State, to the Legislature OF winter before last
it willbeseen that the amount Of taxable prop
erty on the duplicate Of the State was little
over S660,0C0,000. r3 al E 81
The levy for 1855 being sixtenths of MILL
the amount paid into the State Treasury for
revenue purposes that year, that is to carry on
the State Government,w was little over $0i6, 900.
The levy in 1856 being one mill, the amount
collected from the people of Ohio last fall taking
the amount ofyalue ofthe property in the State
as we have given itabove,E was over $860,000,
being an in increase ofthgee huad,ed and forth

The fusion farce has evidently been played
out in Ohio RepublicaniSn and know moth

have been lonely in Lie, and in death they do
not separate.
The following extracts are taken from three
of the most radical Republican papers in the
State,

THE HOUSE CONFIRMED By THE SENATE.-Par-
sons repudiating bill passed by the House, was
promptly passed by the Senate. Our Senator
having before spoken in favor Of Braces repu-
dating resolutions, was now content, it seems,
to he silent spectator of the scene, lending on
ly the sanction Of his vote to consumate an act
which must inevitably tamish and impair the
reputation Of the Statej while the venerable and
accomplished Senator Kelly, Of Franklin, the
able, clear sighted and faithful Senator Taylor
of Geagua, TAYLOR Of Mahoniug, and others, la
bored, with resolute purpose and patriotic aim
even when their was no hope Of turning back a
current, to save the State from dishonor and
the Republican party from humiliation. a
, Their record will remain TO them an honor
and a praise, whatever ofdisaster may accrue
from the acton Of the majority, we firmly be-
lieye, will veri y the prediction of Senator Tav-
lor, of Geauga, and not only say sit was bed
policy" but wonder at their own inltuation.--
But their regrets will be too late to benefit them
selves or others. II the reputation should
chance not to receive the sanction and appIoba-
ton of the people, as We are sure they will not,
and should fall political martyrs to their mis-
taken convictions, we hope they will be able to
meet their fate with unmanly repining. Port

The dull routine of business wears along
its usual pace; the ordinary affairs of life turn
quietly in their accustomed round; and earth,
ocean and sky are the same as ever to us;
but in another place, beyond our actual Wis
ion, and scarcely comprehensive to our most
active imaginations, are transpiring the most
glorious scenes, fraught with the deepest in
terest to the living world. The oceanic tel
egraph is being laid that grandest of all the
conceptions of this age is fast approaching
its completion. 1t is not yet beyond the
reach of failure; yet it seems to be planned
and perfected in such manner as to leave
but little cause to fear for its ultimate success
We shall patiently wait for the result Of this
the enterprise of the nineteenth century, in
the hope that it will fully meet the anticipa-
tions Of its projectors. Eco Ha
