An Economical Scheme,

The politicians who are plotting
'or the success Of the Southern Con-
fedcracy and the annexation OF the
Western States thereto, ars fixing a
nice load for Ohio to carry. They
cut loose from tho Eastern States
which have tho most of the wealth
OF the country, and with the South
assp me the immense war debt the
South has and is accumulating -
Ohio, being the wealthitst OF the
Western States, would of course
have the most of this to pay. This
stripe OF politicians have all along
shown a queer regard for the inter
ests OF their own people. They on
posed the confscstion of the proper
~ OF rebels; that the whole burder
Of the Federal debt might fall upor
the Northern States; and now the,
propose to annex the poorest of th,
loyal States to the South, that the,
may pay the immense debt they arc
making. How will the iarmsrs o
Hancock like to be taxed to pay ths
Indebtedness O! the rebels?
