liens Of Massachusetts, asking Congress to enact

the laws Of any State, and that such persons now
held be declared FREQ. He said he presented the

slider the Senate's amendments. About fifty Of the
one hundred and sixty amendme nts proposed were
voted on in lieu Of the whOle-when the CON-
rose and reported the entire subject to the House
Mr.. Sherman urged the necessity of concurring
in all the amendments, TO many OF which he
opposed, and under other circumstances would
vote against them.
But he believed the very existence Of the gov

bill which is substantially the act of 1917 When
the present administration camo into power the
public debt was twenty-nine millions with near
~ eighteen millions in the treasury. But now tho
public debt is over ninety-six millions. The small
est possible amount the government can get along
with the next fiscal year is hfty-eight millions 1t

Not Represented.

The Columbus Fact states that five coun-
ties failed, or refused, to send delegates to
the late Democratic Convention--namely,
Lawrence, Clinton, Defiance, Paulding and
Williams. Jefferson county also refused
to send delegates, but by twist of the
wrist peculiar to old political stagers, when
the name Of the county was called, response
was made. No questions were asked dele
gates relative to their credentials, and it is
quite probable that other counties were
represented by imaginary delegates; quite
convenience in convention where no dis.
cussion of the merits and dement's of the
platform was permitted.
Fremont journal. [volume] (Fremont, Sandusky County [Ohio]) 1853-1866, 1861-08-23

The treascn-sympatbizers of the North,
failing by other means to to seduce loyal
men from the support of the Government,
have appealed to the avarice of property
holders, and raise great cry about "the
taxes" which they declare will ruin the
country. The Baltimore Clipper fifty re-
plies to such:
"From the poor nothing is asked; and
let those who have means, if they have any
manhood, any forecast, any vestige of hon
or, contribute cheerfully the little that j:
asked--less than seventy-five cents pei
head on an average-to suppress this hor
rible rebellion, and protect our homes from
the sword and the firebrand."
Fremont journal. [volume] (Fremont, Sandusky County [Ohio]) 1853-1866, 1861-08-23

A great outcry has been raised by some who
would lick the dust off the traitors shoes about
the taxation which the war will bring. 1t will
cost the nation vast sum, but we must pay il
or lose all. Which do you preferH Ifthe Gov
ernment is overthrown your farms, your notes
your credits of all kinds, your property ofwhat-
ever sort is totally destroyed, or its value great
ly diminished. We cannot put the matter off.
War is upon us, and we must conquer or be
conquered. The men who go about snivelling
and crying peace, are simply fools. There is no
peace and can be none till it is settled whether
JEFF Davis is President or not. We must fight
this matter out and we must pay what it costs.
But the tale that some fools tell and others be-
lieve, that taxes are to be made three to five
times greater is simple falsehood. They will be
increased perhaps one fourth. Suppose they
are. What sacrifice are we then making COM
pared with those who go forth to the war in
person2 Have done then with snivelling and
groaning about taxes. Let every man who is
an American citizen and who glories in that
name stand up to the work which is laid out fol
him, whether it be to fight or pay for the
fighting.
