THE WAR TAX.

Some miserable, lying, traitorous scoun-
drcls in this county are making terrible
fuss about the war tax Hear what the ven
cradle and talented Richard w. Thompson,
Of Indiana, who has always opposed the
Republicans, said about it, in speech at
indianapolis the other day: .. a eas
Let us increase our army to the requisite
number-to two millions, if necessary Let
us send our sons, and il they are not sufii-
cient, then let us, whose heads are gray, go
ourselves, and let those who have TO hObble
on crutches go to encourage, by their smiles
and cheering faces, those who eould fight.
If he had to give all he had and to work
necessarily until the last hour of his life, and
could then hand to his children unimpair.
ed the heritage of his fathers, he would con.
slider the expense cheap. He who stopped
to count the cost OF this contest now was un.
worthy Of the name Of Americana and was a
disgrace to the laid made free by the heroes
of the revolution If $500. 900 900 were
not enough for the suppression Of rebellion,
make it $500, ,00O, 900 more, and IL that is
not enough pile it up mountain high, and
leave it for posterity to pay. Our children
would be glad OF the privilege of paying
something for the preservation Of the insti
tutions thatwe expect to hand down to Other
generations i'i'..H

HIGH TAXES AND THE wAR--A
PRACTICAL ANSWER TO THE
FUSTIAN OF THE GAZETTE
AND REPUBLICAN,. NJ Il.. NJ

We have prepared q statement Of the
rates of taxes, including tho war tax, for
the present year, and compared it with the
rates of taxes in this county for the year
1858, when we had no war. The taxes would
be still lower but there is levy of nearly
$4,000 to pay interest and principal of
Railroad debt. You can see by it that the
taxes are lower in nearly every Township
than they were in 1853 This includes the
levy Of 81 cents on the 800, to repay the
amount Of money borrowed by the State to
arm and equip the Ohio troops, which we
will bc allowed to Offset against the tax levied
by the General Government and the cents
for TIE support of families of volunteers -
Cut this table out, and whenever these tax
reputation men commence to talk about
high taxes pitch into them with the figures,
and they will soon run, for they are very
much affaird of FACTS aud figures.

PERSONAL ABUSE OF CANDf.
DATES 81. .

We intend the remainder Of this cam
paign, as we have since its commencement,
to avoid all mere personal abuse OF candi-
dates While there may be in the moral and
personal character of the men who compose
the opposition ticket a sufficient excuse for
the intelligent part Of the community to
vote against them, we do not intend to urge
this consideration against them. We will
leave personal abuse to the cohtemptible
Plug Ugly fraternity who manage the dirty,
interruptions partisan sheets Of this place. =
who, by the experience Of the past few years,
have become such adopts in the Inference of
libsls and SANDERS, and who, thanks to the
intelligence of the community, have become
harmless on account of the unreasonableness
oftheir lies and the meanness they have
manifested in this and former campaigns. :
We shall only deal with the candidates on
that ticket with reference to their present
and past position upon the great question OF
Union or Disunion. If they have uttered
reasonable or disunion sentiments we in
tend to hold them responsible for their ut
terancc. If they have, by their assertions,
given ground even to suspect their loyalty,
we will remind them Of it and if, in the
great crisis through which we are passing,
they have taken position against their Gov
ernment and against their country--they
cannot blame us and the people ofthis coun-
ty will not blam us, if we attempt to hold
them responsible for it. This I'VE intend to
do; but in doing it we shall resort to no up-
fair means. We shall say nothing. against
them that we cannot prove by a6idiarits Of
incontestible witneSses.
