~ In another column of our paper will be
found the minutes of the Township assessors con-
vention. We learn that it was well attended not
withstanding the severe storm.
The principal object of these meetings is to OBJ
tain, as nearly as possible, uniform valuation in
the different parts of the county. All will readily
see that a uniformity in the valuation of stock
would be approximated if our tax payers would
exhibit their property to the assessors for valua-
ton. There is some kinds of personal property,
such as merchants and manufacturers, stock, money
and credits, &c, that must be listed by the owner,
but the great mass of personal property could and
weuld be assessed with more equality if left to the
Judgment of the assessors. The standard prices
adopted this year WILL We think, make it the inter
est of every reasonable and conscientious person,
TO exhibit his property in preference to valuing it
himself

a5- Hon. f. d. Peck reached home on Satur-
dav at noon, looking as full of good humor and
vitality as ever. He was not home more than an
hour or two before he was required to dof the
"Hon," and put on the "Dr," and was driving
"Old Tom" through our streets at his accustomed
speed. Many seemed to have put off getting sick
for the adjournment of the Legislature, on purpose
to have the Dr. feel their pulse. THIS district has
never had a more able and efficient Representative
than DR.. Peck. Having resided in the valley over
twenty years, he is thoroughly conversant with the
wants of the people, AMI possesses every requisite
for attending to the same. Men of all parties
voted to send him to the Legislature, and would be
gratided with an opportunity to repeat their ex-
preston of confidence

3c1- The Belmont Chronicle copies our re
marks relative to the proprety Of placing some
good man from the North West on the Repubi-
can State Ticket, aud adds thereto the following
Just remarks:
The above from the Pcrrysburgh Journal upon
the claims of the Nnrth-West. is full worthy
our consideration. 1t is well known that the
North West has won many bright laurals in the
Republican cause. There is, perhaps, no section
that has done 20 much in the past few years.
But short time ago they were strongly Demo
cratic but no longer willing to trust that party
which forfeited all claims TO patriotism and free
dom, they Ylised the banner of RnpublicaniSm,
and rallying beneath its sacred Influences, have
vowed eternal hostility to the progress of human
slavery in our country.
In nominating our ticket we undoubtedly
should select men from such localities as the in
teresIs of the cause and the strength cf the party
require. And this policy cannot but give the
Northwest consideration.
The great object is TO get good honest, reli-
able men; men who combine capacity and sound
principle. If there is anything more than an
nlher that gives weight to a ticket it is honesty.
A good cause might be ruined by had man, so
bad cause might be made popular by good
man. Ii we would succeed--and we must sue
ceed-we must select men in whom the people
cOR have the most implicit confidence.

GET The editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer
does not like the emancipation movement
which is more than likely to make Missouri a
free State. Kentucky is expected to soon
follow in this movement, and the Eagurier
thinks it will seriously affect the business of
Cincinnati and the North h-Western States
Their strength will be increased and Of course
their competition will be more formidable and
knowledge of this fact is just what will in
duce them to throw off the yoke which op-
presses them as people. If our democrat
ic friends are afraid of the locom olive let them
"look out when tie bell rings" Freedom
is an advantage to any people, and its march
must ever be onward.

RIcH.--One of the richest scenes attending the
closing of the Legislature was that presented by
the pretended Democracy when Mr.. Marsh intro
duced the following resolutions. The first resolu-
ton is the same one which was adopted by the De-
mocracy OF Ohio at their State Convention in 1915,
30, so, SO, 81 and 50, successfully bnt every
man of them who voted on the resolution voted
nay while the Republicans voted yea, thus prov
ing that the Democracy have abandoned their own
principles, and that the Republicans are the true
Democracy of the country.-O. s. Journal
ReSolUed by the General assembly of the State
Of Ohio That the people of Ohio now as they al
ways have done,look upon the institution of slave
ry as an evil, unlavoroble to the full develop
mcnt of the spirit and practical benefits Of free in
stitutinns and that entertaining these sentiments
they will feel ii their duty to all power cOnss-
tent with the national compact to prevent its in
crease, to mitigate, and finally TO eradicate the
evil.
Resolued That the provisions OF the ordinance
of Congress Of 1857, SO far as the same relates Ia
slavery should be extended TO all territory Of the
United States not yet organized into States
ResolU6d, That our Senators and Represents
tives in Congress are hereby requested to voIC
