Of the late Mr. Luke + Holt, made an
attempt to COMM, suicide by cutting
his throat with a razor, on Sunday last
Previous to attempting the act he wrote
letters ia his wife, attorney, and some
others, stating his intention and giving
directions about the disposition Of his

shaving himself he coolly bid his fcl

keen razor across his thoat iniliciing a
horrid cash at least six inches in length
The second attempt was frustrated
by some of the prisoners and the
razor taken from him. Had he rested
quiet with these attempts, his recovery
would still have been doubtful, but on
Monday he made another attempt by
plunging headforemost through the
window of the second story of the Jail.

Wizards Prevariacation

We have had no particular anxiety to
mix in the muss, which Williard's preva-
riacating course in relation to the location Of
the New Penitentiary, seemsto have got the
Commissioners who were chosen to make
the selection of aproper place into. He first
suggested the propriety Of additional States
Prison accommodations in his message TO
the Legislature, which body treated his
communication with sach respect as TO
make the necessary provisions. and even
conferre / upon the Governor himself the
exclusive privilege of selecting the board
Of Commissioners who were to hunt up an
appropriate location and secure the lands
upon which to erect the requisite build
ings. After considerable search--tIme
and money speHt--they agreed upon Fort
Wayne as the best location-all things
considered. Willard refuses TO either
sanction and ratify tie doings and choice
Of the commissioners Of his own choice, or
to reject their report-either of which
would place the commissioners on their
feet again, to make another selection or
consumate the arrangements they had en-
tered into at Fort Wayne. Why he has
pursued this course-unless his own Pc
cuniary interests are in some way involved,
we believe none of his particular friends
have ATTEMPTED to satisfactorily explain
To say the the least of it. his course looks
rather inexplicable, and is meeting with
merited accommodation.

showed that he had not the confidence of his own
party, at home.
The Democratic candidates ere men that the
party has reason to be proud of; they sustain good
characters possess good business habits and unles,
we arc very much mistaken in the signs of the
times, they will be elected by handsome MAORI
ties.
The hue and cry that is raised and is kept up
by the Republicans and the lessor lights in refer
ence to the county expenses, &C., are for no other
purpose but to humbug the people. They succeed
ed last fall in drawing the wool over the eyes ola
sufficient number of Democrats to elect their can
didates. The cry Of no more taxes throughout the
length and breadth of the land, and their lyin
proclamation was believed by the uususpectin
whether the same humbug will prove successful
at our next election, remains to be seen. The
idea that the county business can be carried on
without taxes, perfectly preposterous. The great
er portion ofthe expenses are fixed by law, and
can't be alterd only by the Legislature. The law
fixes the amount, for the Common Pleas Judge, for
keeping criminals, Shersf's fees. in cases ofnsanity,
County Treasurer's and Auditors fees, Commits
soners and Assessors, &c. &c.
Thus it can be seen at glance; that the cry of
mo more taxes, is perfectly absurd, and is only de-
signed to deceive and mislead those who may be
credulous enough to believe them; but, who will
find to their sorrow that they were sold Wonder
if the Republican county officers will take less
than the law allows them, for their services?-
Not cent.
We wonld suggest to those who voted last fall
with the conviction that they wouli have no more
taxes pay; to call at the Auditors Office and en-
quire what their taxes are this year; and if they
are MATERIAL. less than they were last year; the
Republicans have partially kept their promises but
1t they are as much, or more than thev were last
year, on the same amount of property; they have
been humbgged, that's ALL
The plea that the Republicans have not got the
entire control fthe county affairs is bad, because
they have all they expected when they made these
promises, of'no tares.'
The county expenses will range from six thous-
and to seven thousand dollars, yearly; unless it
would SO happen, that we would have less
number of uPapers and Criminals than we usually
have. In that case our expenses would be less of
course. But ordinarily will have about that
amount to raise by taxation, no matter which par
ty is in power. This the taxpayers will find to be
true. How perfectly absurd and ridiculous it is
in the leading Republicans to try second time, to
deceive those who not posted, with the fab
lacious CRY on the one hand of extravaganza and
corruption, and the other, 'of No more Taxes
VERITAS.

We Can and Will

Succeed at the election on next Tuesday.
if the good old honest Democracy will come
out to the polls. There are many good
and consistent Republicans who will vote
for Packard-not caring for national poll
tics ia such an election--but because he
has made good and efficient officer. The
charge of extravaganza has been complete
ly foored by Judge Fuller's certificate,
who is himself Republican. Then the
fussy and mendacious mischief maxi ing
old bloat of the Marshall County Republi-
can attacked his private and domestic re-
lations, and has worn them threadbare,
and the consequence has been that many
of Nevis personal friends. though politi-
c,l opponents. are more firmly tied on to
him than ever, and have even gone so far
as to bet two to one on his election.
Now. brother Democrats, come to their
ard with every vote you can honestly poll.
aad don't slet it be said that Marshall
County is totally given up to the oppo-
sitlon. Come to the rescue now. Give
your Court House one watcher. as all the
other officers in it are Republicans. You
have seen how nicely they have paid all
your taxes. which they promised last year,
if successful then. Be at the polls early
and vote, and have your friends do like

the affair. He also furnished US with the
name, which we omit out Of regard for his

Unfortunately young--became en-
trapped in the sna,es Of the gambler; he
first played for amusement--then dared 10
risk little, and liltle more. until he had
lost considerable, and finally lost all Of his
own available means. He was then tempt
ed to take from the safe small sums, and
still lost-he than began to take packages
containing large sums, until the crime be-
came so glaring that it was impossible to
longer conceal 1t.
The Superintendent, upon investigation
ascertained the names OF parties who had
won large sums from the young man.
He demanded the money. and succeeded
in getting back the greater portion of 1t.
