These are the solemn official promises;
what are the performances9 The Gov
ernor, the Auditor, and the Treasurer,
charge no profigacy upon their predeces-
sors, they all acknowledge the prosperous
condition of the State, they all acknowl
edge the large accumulated funds, and they
all promise immunity from direct taxa
ton, for any purpose, up to the year H.
90. Have these promises been perform
ed? We answer, MOI The specific tax
es have gone on increasing, and direct
taxation, without which "the ordinary
expenses of the government" were to be
paid; the 'interest on the public debt" to
be promptly met, with $50 much of the
principal as tnatures'up to 1860, popular
education fostered," the Estate institu-
tons completed and put into successful
operation"--has already amounted in the
aggregate to S477,l3o; besides which the
Bingham Wisner administration have ex-
hausted the surplus Of 1852, 900, borrow
ed $4,000 to meet the current expenses
of the government, $4,000 to pay on
the public debt and 100000 to repair
the Saul Canal. This is performance
with vengeance, one which Taxpayers,
unless blinded by party, would rebuke in
laundering tones.
So much for the fact, and we will con-
clude by comparing the taxation for the
last five years of Democratic rule. On
page Z of our statistical" neighbor's
tract we find table of the direct State
taxes levied for the ten years beginning
1850, and boast that the great increase
Of specific taxes prove the increasing
wealth of the State. This may be, but
some more clear headed financier might
well ask why the increase of direct taxa
ton should keep pace with, the increase o
specific taxes, and mildly insinuatc thai
it was not so when John S. Barry and hi:
Democratic successors managed the affairs
of the State. , Let US compare: 81 AL

The Union would continue under Republican

The Republicans hal but to stand where they
were They did not need even to go ahead. Let
then stand where they are, laugh at the threats
of the opposition, and do their duty. When they
pour out their mingled volleys Of abuse and
threats with reference to the election of Seward,
We think we shall elect him out of spite, and then
LET theu try and see what they can do. But he

WINTER SHOES.

HI Ii IS Journal of health gives the following
sensible advice
Like the guarded oak that has wlthstOod
the storms and thunderbolts ofcenturies, man
himself begins to die at the extremities.
Keep the feet dry and warm, and we may
snap our fingers in joyous triumph at disease
and the doctors Put on two pairs of thick
woollon stockings, but keep this to yourself;
90 to some honest son of st. Crispin, and
have your measure taken for stout pair of
Winter boots or shoes: shoes are better for or
binary every day use, as they allow the ready
escape of the ordors, while they strengthen
the ankles, accoustoming them to depend on
themselves. A YER; slight accident is sufi.
cient to cause sprained ankle TO an habitual
boot wearer. Besides, q shoe com presses less.
and hence admits of more vigorous circula-
ton of blood. But wear boots when you
ride or travel. Give directions also to have
no cork or india rubber about the shoes, but
to place between the lawers Of the sOles, from
out to out, piece of stout hemp or tow-linen.
which has been dipped in melted pitch.
This IS absolutely impervious to water-does
not absorb particle, while we know that
cork does and after while becomes '.soggy
and damp for a week. When you put them
on for the first time, they will feel as easy
as an old SHOE" and you may stana Oh 'aii-P
places FOR hours with impunity-

CLEVELAND, Jan. 3.
The Ohio Legislature organized yesterday.
r G. Parsons was elected Speaker of the
House.
Gov. Chase's message was read in the af-
ternoon. 1t was confined mainly to State
affairs, but at its close recommends the re-
enactment OF the acts repealed by the last
General Assembly, prohibiting slavehOldlng
and kidnapping, and securing more efectual-
ly the benefits Of writs and habeas corpus
Referring to the letter addressed to him by
the Governor of Virginia, he condemns all
inroads into other States and all attem pts to
incita servile insurrection, within their bor-
ders, but the whole blame should not fall On
the tree States. Ohio has frequently been
entered for the purpose of kidnapping, and
toe fugitive slave law executed under Circum-
stances OF great aggravation- Her citizens
travelling in slave States have, on the mere
suspicion of holding obnoxious sentiments,
been subjected to espionage, indignity, ar
rest and Imprisonment. Still the people Of
Ohio hold fast to the Union, and she would
neither dissolve it herself. or consent to its
dissolution by others.
