which has long been needed, and is source
Of qualification to all beholders.
We are informed that stcns are 10 De

Of a new bridge across Yellow River, on
michigan Street, and that the new struc-
ture Will be credit to the place. Cer-
tainly we should have good bridge in
that place.
Also the Board of Trustees propose
building an engine house worth some
twelve hundred dollars, to be located east
of the store room occupied by j. Brownlec
This is much needed Had the engine
been in such room last winter as is pro,
posed to be built, it would have been
ready for service at the giving of the
alarm of FIRE, aud thousands of dollars
saved to our citizens.
Lastly the town pump, SO long needed

Enthusiastic Democratic Meet
inS at ErOsSnsburg, Indiana.

The democratic mass meeting at Browns
burg, on Saturday, was noticeable affair.
1t was held in an abolition neighborhood,
where democratic meetings had not been
allowed for five years. Although only a
township meeting, thousands assembled.
In the procession wero a large number of
hickory wagons, filed with young ladies'.
and large cavalcade of horse men, all ex>
hibit;ng the enthusiasm of-old style demo-
cratic Representations. The meeting was
addressed ably and eloquentIy by Judge
Perkins, Hon Bayless Hanna, Col Robt.
Stewart, gallant cavalry officer during
the war, Maj. Conklin, Col. Dick Ryan
and Messrs. Lowe. Nc Cord and Boone. -
Col Ryan acted with the republican party
during the war, and Messrs. Lowe and
McCord have always been identified with
that party. The current in Indiana is
against radicalsm.

The abolition Township Convention held
at the Court House last Saturday was the
most contemplate fzzle Of any public
meeting we ever witnessed. The scant
dozen doleful faces that entered an appear
anee for negro equality presented strong
contrast to the one hundred and eighty
seven democratic voters in attendance at
the Democratic Township Convention re-
Gently held at the same place. Nor was
the contrast greater in the number in at
tendance than il the spirit Of the two
meetings; the poH-vow Saturday Of the
abolitiouists wac dull, slckly, lifeless, and
nsrvaded by general air Of hopelessness
that appealed strongly to gener GUS mans
sympathy or even pity. On the other
hand the meeting Of the Democracy was
characterized by spirit of determination,
good feeling, confidence and enthusiasm
creditablc to the good cause in which its
participants were engaged
At the Saturday collapse delegates to
the County Convention were appointed
but not instructed, which was certainly
fair, as there were more delegates appoin
ted than members OF the convention.

of Wisconsin, has been nominated by the

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET
II epudtatiOE.

The Republican charges Us with favor
ing the reputation Of the national debt,
and thereupon proceeds to give its readers
a lengthy 6isquisition upon the subject of
moral honesty and all that sort of thing
Now We have given the Republican not
the slightest reason in the world upon
which to found such charge, except it be
that we have FROM time to time insisted,
and still do, that tie holders of [. 5 bonds
should be taxed equally in proportion 0
what they are worth with the holders of any
other kind Of capital. Can any honest
candid man show any good reason why
bondho,ders should not be taxed as other
men? We have said, aud we repeat it,
that if bondholders are to remain exempt
from taxation, and the burdens Of the
government wcIe TO be borne by the labor
ing man, that there was danger that the
oppressed masses would rise in the majesty
OF their strength and manhood and refuse
to paw the interest on the bonds, aud
that when it comes TO this point me step
to fna! reputation is short one, and
the people would be very likely to take it.
We are in favor Of equal taxation, and
/. We cannot get it, then rather than be
the hewers Of wood and drawers Of water
for set OF privileged, -taxpaying,
aris;ocratic nabobs, who are eating out
our substance and preyiDg upon the very
yltals of the country, We should have no
hesitatian in saying repudiate the bonds.
If bondholders DO not wish to see repudi>
alton become an issue before the people
they had better gracefully yield to fair
and just system OF taxation This only
can save our bonds from being repudiated
aud the credit and honor of the country
thereby saved. 1t is true that a large
portion Of the public debt was incurred
through the laundering OF incompetent
officials, and still larger share made nee
essary in order to carry out successfully
the abolition programme If carrying the
elections in the fall Of 1864, BY which ig
norant, corrupt and inefficient men were
kept in, and elected to. Office, and the
Voice of the people thereby ignored and
overriddcn. Sill perhaps, all things con
sidered, it would be better to pay the deb
than to repudia.e it, if the lordly arsto
Gratis who revel in their eorrupily acqu;ro d
gains can be made to pay their just share
Of the taxes, If not, then ''let EN- slide
The editor of the Republican Cor any

We have no fears but that the people vii
heartily indorse the stand we have taken
on this question.

The L. s. Senate did a good thing last
week in postponing till December next, the
infamous Tariff bill which manufacturing
aristocrats had succeeded in driving
through the House Of Representatives
with the assistance of western votes. We
give it as our opinion that the monstrosity
will never be revived. The vote at the
fall elections will effectuaIly spike that gun,
and if the Tariff is permitted to remain as
it now is the New England manufacturers
will have cause to be thankful. The fact
is, the west is fast becoming power in the
land and hence the e; st must hereafter
give us fair play in the adjustment of the
burdens Of the government or We will have
to take the matter into our own hands and
do what we can ourselves to equalize them,
and if when that time comes the east should
find itself somewhat less favorably provided
for than at present, it will have no one to
blame but its own Shylocks

LETTER FROM UTAH.

This is unlike any other portion OF
the United States. There are but
few Gentiles here; the many are Nor
mons, and mostly gathered from the
lowest planes of civilization in the
Old World. They come here with
hatred deeply irculcated against the
United States. They are ignorant
and fanatical, and strictly under the
control of Brigham Young, the head
Of the Church.
If any of them had sufficient in
telligence, and a taste for reading,
such works as you mention, or works
upon such subjects, would be pro-
hibited by the leaders of the Church;
it is not their policy to have the peo-
pie instructed in those matters, q
knowledge of which you propose to
diifuse, and upon the correct under
standing of which rest the future
prospects OF the Republic.
TheMormons ere almost uuiver-
sally disloy al; indeed 1 conceive that
every Jealous Mormon must be so.
As part of the Mormon Creed, as
taught here by their prophet and
revelator, they are made to believe
that the building of their Zion is the
destruction of the United States; that
the Mormon hierarchy must and will
supplant the Government of the
United States; and that this must be
consummated. in order that Mormon
salvation shall be secure and trium-
phant. 1t follows, therefore, if a
Mormon is a sincere believer in the
dogmas of the Church, that to save
his own soul, according to his belief,
his prayers must be for the des-
truction Of the Government of the
United States.-IKe Right Way.
