The fact il; the doctrine Of Mr.. Ew.

There is nothing in reason or common
sense, or common nature, or political
experience, which justifies any such
doctrines. We have to deal in this
world with hard .facts.! The friend

DO either consigned to the coils Of an
asylum, or whipped into decency by
the pillory or the peuitentiary. But,
VIC need not spend words upon apro'
position which the whole nation re.
lccts, rebels as well as Unionists.
Let us come to the actual condition OF
affairs. There orc but two partics in
this country. If there was any plur
to form q new one, it has utterly
failed, Tho rebels and their North
ern allies arc united to-day, as they
always have been, morally, against
the great patriotic Union Republican
party of the nation. The platform
upon which that party is placed, or
the Congressional election, the equal.
ity Of representation, and that power
of the people through representation,
is ono which no honest man will deny
to be just, aud no democrat can say
is not consistent with democratic
principles. Why then should it be
opposed2 Only to give u triumph to
such men as Alexander Stephens,
Clement l.. Vallandigham, and the
rebel soldiers who recently voted in
Kentucky. 1t is for the soldiers OF
the Union, the loyal patriot, the hon
est democrat, to say whether such
men, aud such o cause, ought to tri'

they must all the while be afraid that
this great republic, which has teen so
raised up by Providence in power and
honor, should suddenly fall into ruins
and bury them up. There are few
others, who honestly love their bread

The Rail Road.

The preliminary work upon the
railroad has commenced. Mr..
Graves, the Surveyor, entered upon
his duties last Monday. He arrived
here last Thursday evening, and
spent Friday and Saturday in riding
over the proposed route from here to
Porter, and thence to Pomeroy. He
finds the Pomerey route a good and
cheap one.
Our citizens haYe responded lib
orally and almost universally to the
call for funds to prosecute the sur
vey. Mr.. JACKSON, with his accus-
toned energy, took hold of the mat
ter on Saturday last, and after few
hours work, secured the means need
ed for this preliminary movement.
We understand the citizens Of
Meigs county are moving energeti-
cally in the enterprise, and railroad
meeting was held at Pomeroy last
night.
Mr.. Cutler will join the Engineers
when they reach the Raccoon valley,
and lend his valuable aid in select
ing the most favorable location on
this, the most difficult portion of the
whole line.
The committee, to whom the ques-
tion of an Organization was referred,
is carefully considering all the legal
points, and at an early day will be
ready to make report. AS soon as
this, and the estimate of cost of road
is received from, the Engineer, the
work of organization will be COM
pleted. and canvass of the counties
for subscriptions will commence
We would direct the attention Of
our readers to the call of the COM
mittee for fifteen per cent upon the
amount subscribe for survey, and
hope all will promptly hand the
money into Mr.. Jackson, without the
necessity of being called upon.

REVISING TAX DUPLICATEs.-The Board
OF Revision closed the hearing of general ap-
peals from taxpayers yesterday, and will COM
mence at once to examine into special cases
which have been brought to their notice during
the past three weeks. The Board have afforded
every facility to real-estate owners TO ascertain
the valuation of their property as returned by
the Assessors; and since they commenced their
labors, those who have purchased property
during the present year had the opportunity of
having their own names placed upon the books
and also In having divisions of property made
and thereby save the duplicating of assessments,
which frequently occurred under the old svs-
TEN. The attention of the Board has also
been directed to the assessment OF rural pro.
perty, which only pays two-thirds of the CITY
rate; and visit will be made to portions of
such districts for the purpose of ascertaipine
whether the full city rate cannot be imposed
upon land now rated as rural. Since consolida-
tion, when the rural rate was fixed, the ad-
Vantages OF water, gas, and police have been
extended to many portions that were deprived
OF those privileges at that time, and the Board
now think that the owners of such property
should bear their full proportion of the CITY
tax. Already over $500, ,o0Ohas been added to por-
tlons OF the Twenty-second Ward and it is
thought that this sum win be largely increased.
The Board have also directed q return of all ad-
ditions or improvements to property made this
year, SO as to place the same in the duplicate
for 1867.
