More Taxes

The Militia Law passed by the Aboli-
ton Legisture last winter, proved to be
an intolerable nuisance. The encamp-
ment recently held at Piqua, cost the
Taxpayers Of Ohio the nice little sum of
seventy-fve or hundred thousand dol
lars. There are eleven military districts
in the State, and the whole bill the peo-
pie will be compelled to pay will amount
to about one million dollars.
Now, the whole thing is decided fail
ure as military organization. All the
military knowledge acquired by those
who go into camp is not worth the cost
OF rations for single day. The law
ought to be repealed, or at least modified.
The people are already groaniug under
heavy taxes. and it is criminal to add
to that burden for the sake of giving a
few men the opportunity of making
themselves rich.-Darke County Dens
Holmes County farmer. [volume] (Millersburg, Ohio) 1857-1926, 1863-11-19
The Coming Year.

About one year from this date the
Presidential election will come off, if in
deed it is permitted to be held at all by
the MASTERS now in power Some have
doubts of an election, but we think the
number of aspirants in the present ad-
ministration, and their own iealousies
and hatreds Of each other, will permit
the people to have another chance, how
ever unfair and unequal that chance may
be. The Democracy mus. prepare for
action, earnest, honest action; not only
by the immediate or even early selection
of presidential candidate, but by organ
ization, preparation, reflection and dis
cussion. By the time another year rolls
around, the people will tire Of abolition
work, and will ask the Old Democracy to
lead them to PEACE and UNION !
Watch, work and prayl-ladOning Sen

The BacI,elor's Wish,

We find in an old English periodical
long since extinct the following wish Of
one who was not of the " crusty" sort,
which is recommended to the serious
contemplation of such as do not desire
to come under the liabilities of the con
scription act. The sentiments are supe-
rior to the poetry
l. An amiable partner to soften my
cares.
Thousands year to support my
affairs.
Dogs and gun. to hunt when l
incline.
Horses and chaise to indulge me
and mine.
Clever companions, large hearted
and merry.
6 Dishes each day. and six bottles OF
sherry.
7 Beds in my house for my friends at
their leisure.
s Something or other to add to their
pleasure.
8 Pounds in my pocket when cash l
require.
10 Healthy, fine brsts-and no more l
desire.

MLERsBURG OHIO, THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 49, 1863

cials. cannot conceive the motive
Can il be possible that there is already so
large q deficiency in the transportation
account Of the State occasicned by so
many persons being given free passes to
republican meetings, and to the fifty or
sixty thousand fraudulent voters who
were brought into the State before the
last election, that you are fearful the in
coming Legislature will not make
the appropriation for thedefcieney-
unless you can get them personally
interested - and give them before
hand taste CT the sweets Of public plum
der ? That can hardly be it or l should
aot have been invited, for il is by no
means certain that shall have the hon
or Of occupying seat in the next Ohio
Senate.
In conclusion / have to say to your
Excellency, that whatever may be the mo.
tive and however much Of melancholy
pleasure II might afford me to participate
in the solemn ceremonies Of the 10Th Of
November and to visit the graves of the
brave and noble men who fell near GettyS-
burg, many Of whom were my personal
friends and some Of whom were
my kinsmen, l cannot consent to be
party to the fraud and larceny Of taking
money from the Public Treasury for any
portion of my personal expenses.
scorn the proposition, coming even from
so high source as the Governor Of the
great State Of Ohio; and | warn you. sir,
to beware how you do this thing You
have already been guilty of many sins,
both of omission and commission. You
have assisted and instigatea the seizure
Of the peaceful citizen at the midnight
hour in his homo for political offenses,
and transporting him out of the State
without trial. When others have COM
mitted like offenscs, you have omitted to
interpose your strong Executive arm for
his protection. The money in the trea-
sury has been placed there by the people
and consecrated to the sacred purpose of
civil State Government. If it is converted
to other uses, the people in their wrath
may call you to account. AS you value
your reputation and that Of your family
as you value the interests of this great
Commonwealth, l warn you not to DO
this thing.
Very respectfully yours, &C..
GEORGE L. CONVERSE.
