The state Journal Om Taxation
Trick of the Republican Lcgisll-
tsIre.'
A late number of the Ohio State Journal con-
tains long article headed "Facts for the people
Which is the Party of Rctrenchment and Re-
Read!n' Which is copied with
a great deal Of gusto in last weeks Cadiz Re
publican.
Would you believe it? 1t is an attempt to
show that the Republicans have reduced the
taxes, and that their administration has cost
less than that of the Democrats.
Heretofore the editor of the State Journal,
and all other Republican editors have avoided
the subject Of taxation as thew would the small
pox or the itch; and this essay of the Journal
contains abundant evidence that they had am
pie reason for so doing. If the Journals article
is the best defence the Republican administra-
tion can make, it not only shows the weakness
replies which must result disastrously to their
party. 1t shows, says an exchange, that man
whose entire time and talent for years have
been devoted to the negro question, is but lily
prepared to discuss the more practical question
OF taxation
The journal puts down the amount of taxes
levied in the years 1855 and 1856, and by sub.
! tracing them shows difference in favor of the
year 1856.
Here are its figures:
Taxes for 1855 >. IL. $8,95451l
1856 .. 8,009,5lo
Less in 1856 . S944,983
"Here,H says the Journal, lis falling off o.
nearly one million Of dol ars during the first
year of Republican rule"
Of this amount claimed to have been saved
$3l6, ,313 were local taxes, Of which more here
aNer, leaving S123G75 claimed to have been sa
Ived Of the State taxes.
Now reader, bow do you suppose this was 50

government? II you have, the Lord help you

would write to some bold and not very scrupul
Gus mar, whom he designed TO lure into the COM
mission Of it. Mr.. Chase vouches for the liber-
atty Of the City Bank men, but protests that
he "never borrowed dollar from them" He
is instant and earnest in recommending the
Merchants and Traders Bank, but finds it ne
cessary to assert, that he has mo interest as a
stakeholder or otherwise" He besets the trea-
Surer Of Ohio at the instant Of taking his office,
and endeavors to enmesh him with two rotten
banks, both ofwhich soon after break. He sue
ceeded in Turing him to deposite in one Of them;
and but for the suspicious protestations of his
own ndisinterestedness, he would probably have
succeeded in Seducing him into dealing with the
other tottering cheat. These protestations Of
honesty to Breslin, are the worst of the matter.
What man Of probity finds it necessary to be-
gin conference with another as to the public
funds by saying and repeating, ''now | am not
thief" We do not mean to dssect infinitely
this disgraceFul letter. 1t tells its own tale o.
hypocricy and depravity. Weprint the letter
Of Mr.. Chase, written from Cincinnati, to John
q. Breslin before he had taken office; and when
the rottenness of the City Bank must, as the
Republican committee say, have been known to
every man of ordinary intelligence who had long
resided there. After the name of "Salmon P.
Chase - there is postscript to the letter--a
kind of Jonathan Wild, Gadsh II, "let us share
sort of an asument, which the writer evidently
thought BreSlin would be unable to resist. He
"most cordially" conSratulateS him upon his ell
ecton, and assures him that he did all that lay
in his power to SECURE it." Now just compare
this man with John G. Breslin, and then say
who is the worst. Our mother Eve was guilty,
but what God would visit punishment on her
head AMI yet forgive the Devil? Breslin is
poor, He has none ofths plumber. He is the
victim, not the co1triver Of the system set ago
ing to entrap him, before he had entered his Of
flee by Salmon 2. Chase. 1t is Chase and Glib
son who have grown unaccountably and cnorm-
ously rich.
The people ofOhio must forgive us for exhib-
it ing Salmon P Chase before them stripped Of
his usual sanctimonous and hypocritical dis
guisce 1t as humiliating to us it can be to
our fellow citizens, to see the Governor Of the
the Statl> in the fatherly character of Fagin the
Jew, but the certainty that will soon be told in
tones of thunder, "get hence, and give place to
an honest man. somewhat reconciles US to the
degradation, to which for brief period we
shall be compelled to submit.

THAT WILL DO"

"That will do" is a phrase of
modern invention. The ancients
knew of no such expression. or the
Egyptians would never have raised
the pyramids, nor the Greeks and
Romans displayed that love Of the
beautiful, which led them to impart
poetic grace even to the meanest
utensils for household use: as the re-
mains Of Pothpetii fully testify.
"That will do" is the excuse of
mediocrity, unable to soar to better
things. --
"That will do" is the self dis
pensation given by the lazy painter,
who CLOSES over the want of anato-
mical correctness by snowy color
ing.
"That will do" is the besetting
sin of architects, who lay their short
comings to the want of a favorable
site, or an italian cline.
"That will do" applied to Louse-
hold matters, is equally bad, and
more annoying to friends, than ap-
piled to dress.
You may expect ill-cooked din
ners in any house where the heads
, adopt this maxim. ...
"That will not do" has conjured
up host-of inefficient teachers.
"That will do" is the enemy to
all excellence, and would sap the
conscience of the most virtuous man
alive, if he hearkened to its dicta es.
Moralists and others must bear in
mind, that nothing will ''do'' but
the very best in point Of virtue, or
they will run risk, when the great
day ofreckoning shall come, and the
recording angel will not say in their
favor, This will do."- Arthur's
Home Magazine.

The Lesson of Beauty.

"Beauty," says an eloqunt writer,
"is Gods haud-writing-a way-side
sacrament welcome it in every fair
face, every fair field and flower,
every fair sky, and give thanks to
Him-the fountain of all lovelimess
for it; drink it in simply and ear
nestly with all your eyes, it is a
charmed draught-a cup of bless
ing. Never lose an opportunity of
seeing anything beautiful; for there
is many an avenue to our heart be-
sides our ears and brains-many a
sight and sound and scent, of which
we have never even thought, that
helps to shape our characters. Do
not trees taik-have they not leafy
lungs--do they not, at sunrise, when
the wind is low, and the birds are
caroling their songs, play sweet mu-
sic?-Who has ever heard the soft
whisper of the green leaves in Spring
time, on a sunny morning, that did
not feel as though rainbow CLEANS
ofgiadness We're running through his
heart? And then when the morning
glory, like nun before the shrine
of God, discloses her beautiful face,
and the moss-roses open their
crimson lips, sparkling with the nee
tar that falls from heaven, who does
not bless his Maker? And when
Autumn comes,the season ofthe sere
and yellow leaf, when the wheat is
in its gold prime, and the corn waves
like silken tassels in the charmed air
is not reminded Of the reaper
Death? Well may Akenside exclaim;
with what attractive charms this goodiy frame
OF nature touches the consenting hearts .
lOfmorsal man. For him the Spring
Distls her dews, and from the silken gem
Its lucid leaves unfolds; for him the hand --
OF Autumn tinges every fertile branch
With blooming gold and bushes like the morn
EacIpassng hour sheds tribute from her wingci
And still new beauties meet his lonely walk,
And loves unfelt attract him. Not breszs
