CoMPAEIoNIzED.-John Moore, a

affected high respectability and put OIL
extravagant airs, stole a negro slave
of a Charleston widow, and got as fal
as Petersburgh, Virginia, where he
was caught in possession of the ebony
To make sure of the thief and the
ehattel, the two were chained together,
and in that kind of love attachment
they were carried back to Charleston

The Election

On Monlay is Of much importance, and oil
should unite cheehully in the support OF good
men withou, respect TO party or sect. Especial
ly do we wish to see a fit man elected Assessor.
The interests Of every honest person in the town
ship demands for this post one who has good
judgment, and who Is possessed OF sufficient
firmness to do what he knows TO be right. 1t
is a nolonot fact that several persons, whose
property con be seen Of oil men, do not pay tax
on one mn of its true value, while Others pos
sesscd Of less property, are taxed upon its IMt
value. This is not right; the poorer class OF
community should not be required to bear more
than just proportion of the burtlens Of taxa
ton. IL men will not list their property hon.
eeily, we want on Assessor who will see that
community docs not suffer by their dishonesty
The law affords sufficient remedy for sucl
cases, and it should be enforced

Our Columbus letter will 6e found unu'unl(y
interesting. The legislature is now putting
ths rope about the neck Of the expiring demo
cratic party in Ohio most elltctuOlly. The bill
20 take the appointing power out of the hands
of the Governor, SO far rs the benevolent mSti-
,ations OF the State are concerned, has passed
the Senate. ltgives The appointing power to
the Lieut.. Governor, Speaker OF the House, aud
Chief Justice. The bill putting the Pententiory
into the same hands, is probably passed ere this.
Such political knOvery to get into Office was
never before known in this or any other Stat,
The bill providing for tho sale of the PubIic
Works has passed thn House, ii first refusing to
require the bids to b. reported to tho next lcgis-
lature, TINS leovngwide open the doar for public
puuler. The bill fixes tho minimum price at
S2,5O0O 900.
Another effort was made in the House to pass
thr S.nute resolution for an extra session OF Iho
legislature. Several locoloco members, who Sc.
cured their election By dcnouncing the Repuh
lcans for their extra session, cowed aud left the
hall They Invented a new system OF pairing
of f"--two Of the same opinion going together
The Republicans fired into those remaining with
such eject that the motion was again lost, -
We have no doubt but it will eventually pass.

Lccomp,om Passed the SENATE.

The bill to admit Kansas under the Lccomp-
ton Constitution passed the Senate on Tuesday
ollOst week by yeas 80, nays 25. Three Dsmo-
Gratis, Messrs. Bates, (D'l,) Reid, IN C.) and
Davis Miss aud ono Republican,. Mr.. Came
ron, (po.) did not vote The three FIRST men.
toned were absent and Mr.. Cameron paired of
with Mr. Davis.
SO this great fraud hos been sanctioned by the
Democratic U. S. Senate, with but four dissent.
ing democratic votes, one ol them given by Pugh
under protest. One year ogo, when Republicans
charged the Democratic leaders with being
lcagued to the Slave Power, and willing to
obey its b1hesn even to the extent Of establish.
ing slavery in Kansas they were violently de.
nounccd as propsgators OF falschoods, and many
people were thus blinded into the support of
Modern Democracy being interpreted
means Slavery. We are pleased, however, to see
that many of the Northern voters who were thus
deceived, nov that the deception is exposed, de.
nounce their deceivcrs and openly condemn the
party which resortol TO such means to obtain
thes espoils of Office aud to secure the adoption Of
odious and Republican measures Against
the Kansas iniquiy, the Republicans have fought
from the beginning, aud their votes stand as tn
vote ofone man against it in the senate But three
sincere votes were cast by Democrats for its de-
feat. Now, in view of this fact, what is the du-
ty of the honest opposer of the Kansas iniquity
and of the present administration which claims
to be- and is, the ID mocrutic party olthe notion7
Will he unite with those who from the beginning
fought this corruption7 or will he be content to

has just commenced and no man can sllirl the
responsibility mo true man will try to do so.
lie who is not for the Slave Power is against it.
lie who is not for Freedom and Free Labor must
be against il. Old parties and pprty ties have
been broken up, aud new OssoCiations must be
formed. The issue is between Free Labor and
Slave Lnbor-as portrayed in lammonds speech
Upon which side will you be found7 DON'T

The Cleveland aud Toledo Railroad
GnmDAnY.

Some six years ago the citizens of our town
and township subscribed to the capital stock OF
the Junction Railroad Company large sum Of
money making as part OF the terms Of their
subscription, condition that the main track Of
the road should ba constructed and maintained
through the town of Perysburg westward to an
intersection with the line Of the Northern In.
diana Railroad. The stock wO5 accepted on
these conditions, and the bonds issued by the
town and township were received and used BY
the Railroad Company in pursuance of the
terms Of the contract of subscription. The line
Of road from Sandusky City through Perrysburg
aud Maumee westward was partially graded,
when consolidation was effected between the
Junction and Toledo, Norwalk and Cleveland
Railroad Companies, whereby the two became
rrged in one under the name of the Cleveland
& Toledo Railroad Company, and assumed to
perform the obligations Of the former companies
aud to construct line Of road from Sandusky
City by way Of Perrysburg and Maumee City,
to an intersection with the Northern Indiana
Railroad Company at or near Stanton, This
line of road was finished and put in operation
as TAR as It's intersection WIN tne Olu llnc OF
the Toledo Norwolk & Cleveland Railroad and
from thence instead Of being constructed along
the route agreed upon, it wus constructed di-
rcctly into the city of Toledo from that period
our citizens heve waited in vain for the fuiillment
of that contract, after having seen the bonds
advanced by them for the purpose of benefuiLg
their own town used to build up a neighboring
city. After bearing a burtheu Of taxation to
pay the interest on these bonds for periol OF
years-aftcr seeing that contract willIully vio'
lated--ils provisions dsregarded their own
rights outraged, have at last commenced suit il
the Court of Common Pleas OF our county to
compel this Railroad Company to build this
line of road and to perform the contract which
has been, on their part for soma years grossly
violated. The suit is one of very great impor
tance both as to the amount and as to the prn
cipal involved. We understand it is to b. ur
Z. gued before The District Court at this place, o,
the 18th day of MAY next, by James Murray
: Esq. of this place for the town. aud NJ. X
, Waite, Esq, of Toledo, and Mason & Estep o
Cleveland for the Railroad Company.

Omce-scckiug Democracy.

The longer men pursue an miqultous practice,
the more bold they become in IFS support. This
truth is verified by the history of scLstyed dc
mocracy Close observers have for years known
that the leaders OF that party dsrcgarded public
interest whenever it would conflict with their party
or ,hoir prospects Tor living at the public crib
IN; tho mass of the people, cNrclcssIy odherng
20 professions without closely observing acts, have
been led to support these men, and they have been
kept in Office until they have become bold in their
efforts to throw the public funds into the hands of
party favolites
The present legislature is in tho van Of this pro-
gresson, and custom. and the plain intent of the
trainers Of the constitution must be set ssidc, that
all appointed officers may be made by corrupt
committee of its own members, They have a
proposition now pcniing before them to give a,
l.. Backus more than oue-halr of the appointing
power on the entire Pablic Works of tho State
They have u bill before them to take the appointing
power out Of the hands of the Governor aud place
tho Public Institutions of the State in tho hands OF
parizan committee OF the Senate. They have
passed bill changing this Judicial district and
attaching Lucas couuty to It, contrary to the wish
es OF ninc-tcnlhs OF the people solely for tho pur-
posc of putting n lOcoiocu member of the Senate
on the Bench. What they viii next do il is diff
cali to say, but of Que thing we arc certuia- mo
public Interest viii prevent them from putting
their hands into tho public crib at every door and
crack.

senator PuxI..

The course pursued by Mr.. Pugh, on the Le-
compton question, has indicated anything but
an honorable and highminded man, such as the
Representative OF the State Of Ohio should be.
lie first found himself destitute of 4" facts y and
sought 10 hide himself behind his ignorance. -
Next, be asks for instructions from the legisla-
ture. These received, ne turns round and makes
speeches against them, at the same time declar-
ing his purpose to vote according to their re-
q,irenents. This is the first instaace in which
a member of the u. S. Senate has disgraced
himself by speaking in favor of q principle and
voting against IT, The Cleveland Herald thus
alludes to the matter:
The people Of Ohio want no Senator Of
theirs thus to make fool Of himself by pro-
nouucing sreech on one side and giving his
vote on the other They would more readily toll
crate au utter disobedience of instruction than
such silly tergiversation. Obedience to the in
his vots, but his influence, whatever ii may be 4,
against the measure which they condemn. 1t is
not the weight Of his influence, however, that
we deprecate, but the spirit in which it is exer
cis,d. The maxim used to be- with those who
recognized the doctrine of instruction, Obey
or resign" MIR. Pugh finds compromise be-
tween these alternatives. He puts forth all his
energies TO secure the passage OF the bill, i'm
aginiug that his naked NAY in the final vote will
=" ill the order" 1t is an evasion so childish,
tha il seems to us, no man Of sense would re
sort to it,"
