How will they Tax
the Bonds.

In case the Democracy should se-
cure a majority in tho next Leg'sla'
ture, how do they propose to tax the
government bonds2 There is already
q law on the statute books taxing
bonds OF the United States, but the
law is not enforced because there are
numerous DECISIONS of the Supreme
Court against the power OF a State TO
tax such bonds, thus rendering the
law unconstitutional. And the Audi
tor of State, in furnishing the list OF
taxable property, always exempts
bonds of the United States, because
the law is unconstitutional. How
will the Democracy proceed when
thcy get tho power? Will they en-
act another law declaring that the
bonds shall be taxed, tho Supreme
Court to the contrary notwithstand-
ling? Or will they attempt to enforce
the present law, and array the State
against the general Government
The democracy Processes to bo the
Constitutional party. Do they in

mcdiateIy upon gaining powcr2
The section of the Tax Law taxing
government bonds, reads as follows;
"Secton l. Be it enacted By the Gen.
eral Assembly ofthe State Of Ohio That
all property. whether real or personal
lin this State, all moneys, credits, in
vestments in bonds, stocks, joint stock
companies, or otherwise, of persons
residing therein; the property of cor.
porations now existing or hereafter
created, and the property of all banks
or banking companies now existing

ers, except such as is hereinafter OK

taxation; and such property, moneys,
credits. Investments IN bonds, stocks
joint stock companies, or otherwise
or the value thereof, shall be entereC
on the list of taxable property fol
that purpose, in the manner prescribed
By this act" d
The second section, defining tn
terms used above, thus defines what i
meant by "investments in bonds"
Tho term ''investments in bonds,
: whenever used in this act shall be hoI'
to moan and include all monies invest
ed in bonds, of whatsoever kind
whether issued by incorporated or un
incorporated companies, towns, cities

think the blacks OF the South capable OF

repeat it. But We do not agree with
Morgan, who said in his address ON
Monday last, that the plantation ne
gro was not two degrees above the

Let no soldier nor Union man be

To the Young Men.

7, The party which opposed the war
and assisted tho rebels during the
past four years is now and will for.
ever be an odious party. Its very
name will smell in tho nostrils Of the
people. 1t is as dead as the old Fed
eral and old Wing parties.
Therefore, let no young man who
respects himself or hopes for political
influence and proierment, touch tho
,unclean thing. The loyal men, the
good men. the soldiers, everywhere
are against it.. Remember the fable
Of the dog caught in bad company
Let no soldier, especially, be deceived
into committing himself this fall in
favor of such a party. He will be
abandoned by his comrades q called a
traitor 10 the cause after having fought
for it through tho war, Now is the
timo for young men and returned sol
diors to commit themselves politically
As they mako then beds this fall, SO
they shall lie. Let them see, there
fore, that they are with the great and
loyal party which saved the Union
and against the demoralized and dis,
loyal party which attempted to destroy
the Union.

Intended Outrages

Should the Democratic party gain
power, it intends to commit the follow
ing outragos:
To tax tho Government bonds, and
thus reduce tho interest which the
people arc drawing nearly one.halE p
Or, il the bonds are not taxed, to ro-
fuse appropriations to pay the inter-
est. '-l'@l
To repudiate the national debt and
thus destroy the credit CT the
Government, and cheat tho people
out of several billions of invest
mcnts.
Or, failing in repudiation, to assume
the rebel debt, and compel loyal men
to pay a debt contracted by rebels in
destroying the lives Of their sons and
in attempting to destroy their prop.
erty and their Government, thus nearly
doubling the taxes. '.
To repeal tho law of Congress- cx'
Guiding rebels from holding Federal
offices, and admit to seats in tho Ma.
tional Legislature and to Government
offices, men whose hands are black
with treason and dripping with the
blood of your brothers and sons.
To re,cstablish system of slavery
lin the South, different from that abol
ished by the war, and thus build up
the old aristocracy and prevent the
elevation Of n race.
These are not false charges, but fair
statements Of what the Democracy in
tend as gathered from their speeches
and their press, Can any honest mar
trust such vicious partyP

eide which is tho right side to choose

known him long and l have known
him WELL | knew him when he pro-
fessed to be follower of that noble
statesman, Harry Clay. knew him
again as a Know Nothing, and Iknow
him now as copperhead candidate for
Representative in this county, against
a true and loyal man, who has faced
the enemy and defeated him, who
riskcd his life for his Government,
. while hisopponent, (Rutter, remained
at homo opposing him and the. Gov
ernment until he enraged one of the
soldiers, who gave him a sly hint that
the best policy for him to pursue
would DO to bride his tongue, which
/ think he did, as have heard
of no difficulty since that transac-
ton. There was once a man by
tho name of Elisha who ascended to
tho celestial world in chariot Of fire,
and was no doubtjoyfully received for
bis goodness, and no doubt if U. @.
Rutter had ascended from the foot OF
