The Approaching Campaign!


1t should be borne in mind by the peo-
pie of Ohio, that they have a Governor
and Legislature to elect in October next,
Ohio is one Of the first States in the Un'
ion, both in respect to the number and
intelligence of her inhabitants, and her
devotion to the principles of freedom. So
far as we are advised. the Republicans in-
tend to run our present excellent Cover
nor gain, this-all. Mr.. Chase, by his
manly course since his election, has made
hosts of friends, even amongst those who
literally opposed him two years ago.
Should Mr.. Chase receive the nomina.
lion, we will no doubt hear the scnseless
cry Of abolition raised once more, by the
niger democracy. This cry of negro
equality, and negro suffrage, comes with
bad grace, from a party having such
antecedents. 1t will be remembered, that
some years ago, the Supreme Court of
Ohio, presided over by good democrat,
decided that the word aohite in the Con-
stitution, did not mean white, but that all
mulattoes who were less than half black,
were white, and entitled to vote, See
Je6rieS 0. Ankeny, II OHIO, 372; Thack-
er u, Hack, II Ohio, 376.) This being a
judicial construction of the organic law,
could not BE- remedied by legislative en-
actment. When the new constitution
was framed by the same party, .hey had
full power 10 exclude all coIored persons
from the right of suffrage, but they did
no such thing. They also had the pow
Or to prevent free negroes from settling in
this State, and yet they made no provis
ion for the prevention Of this evil Con
sequenty, Virginia, and othsr neighbor-
ing Slave States, are constantly sending
among US, their degraded negro popula-
lltion, while we have no legal means of
preventing them from so doing.
In other matters oil State policy, the
Democratic party exhibit a very dark
record. Some years ago, that party, in
their war upon the currency of the State,
took the ground that the Legislature had
the power 10 control the banks in refer
ence to taxation, although in so doing, it
it might interfere with the contract gran
ted in their charters. This was in paIpa.
bic violation Of Sec. 10, Art, /, Of the
Constitution Of the United States, and
was 50 declared by tho Supreme Court,
in the case of Dartmouth CoIlcgeV. Wood
ward, 4 Wheaton, blS; harles River
Bridge v. Warren Bridge, / / Peters, 42l.
Yet in view of these plain decisions, the
democratic party continued to violate
Bank charters until within recent pc
Rod.
Just before the party were finally over
thrown, they let out the contracts Tor the
repair Of the canals of the State, for the
longest period permitted by the statute
1t wac proven beyond doubt, that these
contracts were founded wholly in fraud,
and although fraud viliatss every thing
into which ii enters, (Seo Kents Com.
GA, yet the party were so strongly i'm
pressed with the sacredncss of contracts,
that they raised II howl against having
their particular friends chokod loose from
their grasp upon the peoples money
These glaring inconsistencies, and cSi-
dcnces of hypocricy, will be remember
ed by the people Of Ohio, at the coming
eleciinn.

Imnnrtant DaCisiOn.

The Buffalo Commercial AdueriiSer
says that a very important decision has
been made by Judge WelIes Of the Sup.
rems Court Of New York. The partic-
ulars Of the case are as follows: In the
year 1851, the Trustees of ST. Peters
Society. in Rochester, brought a suit
against John Timon, Bishop of Buffalo,
and others; TO recover their church prop
erty, then held in fee by the Bishop
Some forty days were occupied in taking
evidence before the referees, as to the
spiritual and legal powers ofthe CatholI C
clergy, and the force ofthe canons ofIhe
church. 1t was then argued before Jus.
tice Selden, ofthe Supreme Court. Jus.
tice Seden decided all the points save
one in favor Of the plaintiff. A new ar
eument was had in June, 1856, before
Judge Welles, who has u,t decided in
favor Of the plaintiff throughout. Thus
the Trustees hold the temporalties Of the
church by the law, and against the can
Ons.
This is gratifying result, as showing
that the power Of the Romlsh hierarchy
is not to be exerled by aprieSlhood direc: :
ly possessed of an enormous estate. Il
would have indeed been humiliating, il in
the Protestant State Of New York the
priesthood should possess powers recent
ly shipped from them in Mexico, and lor
many years denied Them in more Colho,

iiG ed was drawn by me,
Sho acqaaintINnvh the facts

The deed was a disclaimer of an in
terest in Dred Scott and his family,
and qut-claim of all interest or
supposed interest in them in order to
remove all obstacles, or supposed obsta-
cles, to their emancipation, so far as the
grantors had power TO do SO. DR.. ChalEee
was made party, in order to give valid
ity to Ihe signature Of his wife. Mrs
Chaffec and Miss Emerson were the other
signers; and the sole object Of the deed
was to release such interest as they had
to these persons under the will of Dr..
Emerson. 1t was done at as early date
as they were advised by counsel that it
could legally be done.
l believe this is all the connection that
Dr.. ChafIee has had with Dred Scott and
his family, and see nothing censurable in
what he has done, or omitted to do

The State Taxes MisrepreSenta
tiOns Of the Opposition.

The Statesman of Tuesday, copied an
article from the ZanesVile AwOra, writ
ten to show that the Republican party
since it came into power, had largely in
creased the State expenditures, and has
increased the taxes Of State purposes. =
From it we make the following extract:
"In 1855, under Democratic rule, the
ratio Of taxation for all State purposes was
six tcnths of one mill, or sixty cents on
each thousand dollars on the tax dupli-
cate In 1856, under Republican or fu-
sion management, the rate of taxation
(sec Ohio Laws of last winter, page 2l4,
is one mill, or one dollar on each one
thousand dollars on the tax duplicate.
"Of course the man who paid sixty
cents taxes in 1856 for all State purposes,
did, in 1856, on the same amount Of prop
erty pay one dollar. That is to say, his
taxes for State purposes were increased
forty per cent.
"By reference to the report Of the Au-
ditor of State to the Legislature of winter
before last, it will be seen that the
amount Of taxable property on the stan
dard duplicate of the Stale was little
over $500, 100000.
"The levy for 1866 being six tenths oI
a mill, the amount paid into the State
treasury for revenue purposes that year,
that is TO carry on the State government,
was little over $4,000.
"The levy in 1856 being one mill. the
amount collected from the people of Ohio
last fall, taking the amount of value OF
the property in the State as we have Civ
en- i: above, was over $3.50, 900, being an
increase of THREE HUNDRED AND FORTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS in one year.
The man who wrote the above, inten-
ded to impose a fiction upon the people.
What it says is important, but what it
omits to say is still more important. 1t
is true that Gin 1855, under Democratic
rule, the ratio of taxation for all State pur-
poses, was six tenths of one mill, or sixty
cents on each thousand dollars" 1t is
also true that the tax was raised in 1856,
by the Republicans, TO ten mills on a dol
lar This is all true; and if the aurora,
or its indorser, the Statesman, had only
given the reasons for this increase, no ex'
PLANTATION from US would have been nee
essary. Those papers would have their
readers believe that the increase was de-
manded to pay the increased expenditure
caused by the extravaganza of the Re
publican party, when the fact is, and these
editors know ii, that the increase was
made necessary to pay off the debts which
the Mcdill dynasty had transmitted as a
legacy to their Republican successors, as
we shall show. The debts left unpaid by
the Medil administration, and for which
no tax had been levied to pay, but fol-
which the Republican Legislature had tc
provide, amounted, in gross, 10 0Uer haJ
4 million Of dollars. Here are tho items;

of old yeast for raising the new. Bread
or cakes made with this yeast never need

that will dispense with the use of so I'M
