Voters, take Notice |

"eien' .noh III NOMINATION 10 represent US
IN the Legislature, men who will be able
TO look after our interest in the re-dis-
trlcting of the State; in re-modeling the
tax law; and some alteration in the pres
ent one, TO prevent the absorbing and sp-
propriating the monies belonging to the
new counties to pay the current expenses
Of the State; and many other things nee
essary TO be done-the reduction of ex-
penses rs far as practicable among tho
number Respectfully yours,
john HARE"
The above is an extract from John
Haire's letter to the Clarion, refusing to
be candidate for Representative. And
why9 Because he wants TO see men there
who will '.prevent tie absorbing and APP
propriatiag the monies belonging 10 the
counties 10 pay The current expenses of
the State" And he knows well that the
the Republican party have not done so.
That party is the cause of tho present
state OF things, and he is frank to de-
nounce the wholesale swindling.
In order that the voters Of Ottawa
may know the extent of the swindle, we
publish the following facts taken from the
report of the Auditor General:
Amount due Now, 1854, last year of
democratic administration s 507 90
Amount due Nov, 1855, first year of
republican administration 5,OSs 95
Amount due Nov, 1856, second year
of republican administration 1857 sS
Amount due Nov, 1857, third year
ofrepublcan administration 40,4O4 70
Amount due Nov, 1858, fourth year
of republican administration 94,Os5 70
Amount due Nov, 1859, fifth yearof
republican administration 12I.669 so
These sums are owing by the State
for taxes which were levied in the several
counties for local purposes. AS the State
alone has power TO sell lands to enforce
the payment, these taxes flow into the
State treasury. When the republicans
came into power it was the practice to pay
up the counties annually. This enabled
each county TO know precisely the amt
it was necessary to tax the people to meet
all their wants for the year.; but how is
it now, and especially in the new coun-
ties, where large quantities of the real
estate are owned by nonresidents? II
the townships or counties want a certain
amount of cash to meet the present years
expenses, they have TO levy sum suf-
ficiently large TO make up the amount
which will be returned 10 the State, OF
they must issue tlfeir bonds payable at a
future day, and sell them at an enormous
discount In the meantime their schools
must languish and the people drag theil
surplus products to market over the worst
possible roads. What relief, what 6
benefit, it would be 10 tho counties if they
could Mt once have the amounts due
them for these taxes, rs was the custom
prior to 1865. We ask the people of The
new counties especially TO lock at this ia
bic, showing how much the State was in
debted TO them at the date of the las
annual report of the Auditor General,anc
contrast it with the paltry sum Of S507,
G2 which was owing them by the Stat
at the closesof the democratic administra
tion.
The subjoined statement exhibits tn
amounts due by the State to the coun
Ties.

We would again ask the people of these
counties if they have derived benefits
from the republican administration sufli-
cient to compensate for the annoyance
growing out of this change of policy.
Voters, look at hiSi Tar PAYERS,
here as eOhere your money goeslt The
State Of Michigan owes the County of
Ottawa $5,2l3 81.
The taxes voted to be raised by the
Board of Supervisors, this year, in Otta
wa County, TO meet the necessary expen-
ses was $4,000 If the republican
State Treasurer had paid the county of
Ottawa what is duo to her, you would
have had only $4,000 to be assessed by
the Supervisors, and paid by you this
yenr instead of $4,000

in adding up your truthful document Of
facts and figures, all made in Javor Of
your republican administration, amount
ing to over ONE MILbroS OF DOLLARS,
and your party have been forced, by pub
lie opinion, TO recall that pamphlet and
get il OUT Of circulation, and you have
been srdered to suppress Il. Il was such
barefaced imposition upon the mathe-
NAUTICAL attainments of the people Of this
State, as well as upon their credulity that
even the everlasting colored individual
could not make it palatable.
Now, if 'sTnbune tract No. IL" footed
up correctly, TO suit the views Of those
who issued it, and it is all nicely balanced
and all the money nicely accounted for,
We say what has become of the money
that you have falsely accounted for, being
over a million of dollars? That money
is somewhere, and if by your own PAM
phlet it required million or more dollars
TO make your own statements balance,
and the democratic party have made you
own il, and the people have compelled
you to withdraw from circulation your
published statement of the financial ope-
rations of the republican party, then, s0ho
must account for those trifling mistakes
Will the Clarion attempt it9 Try it on
Mr.. Campaign Politics. Before the dem
ocrats proved the falsity of aract No.
H." you accepted it as truth, and the fl
nancial management of your party was
all right. Now, where is the money gone
to that must now be accounted for in or
der to make your balance sheet, balance
1t wont do to say IL has been paid TO the
Asylums, nor to pay democratic debts.
The democratic party of this State
have published over the signatures Of The
individual members Of the State Contra
Committee full and complete statement
Of the reckless expenditure of the peoples
money, by the republican office holders
and not merely is it given over their owl
names, thus challenging the refutation o
that expose, but have also had the records
at Lansing examined and sworn TO before
a Notary Public, and the examiner
sworn statement is appended to the dem

uf his servants, who had waited on him during his
Illness came into town ar stated that as lie went it,
to his masters room to build fire. he found him lying
had died suddenly from an affection of the heart but
on visiting his house. his body was found bathed in
blood and his throat cut from ear to ear. An inquest
was soon held and it was found that he had been most
brutally murdered by Of his own negroes.
The most positive evidence was obtained against one
of the negroes and disposition was manifested to hang
him at once; but with the view Of obtaining proof
against others who supposed to be implicated, he
was brought to JAIL with three others en- whom suspi-
con rests The matter is undergoing fdrthcr evestga-

give the result.
