HON. JOHN A. SMITH!

- Now that Seymour Is nomina'
ted by the Democratic party as
their candidate for the Presidency,
fearing that it would injure his
prospects for the Presidency with
his Democratic friends in the rebel
States, and with their sympathizcrs
in tho free loyal States, to have It
supposed that he aided the Gov
srnment to carry on the war by
lending It money, he was in a great
hurry TO tell them that he is net,
and never was a holder Of U. g.,
Bonds. Soldiers who served in the
war for the Union should remember
that Seymour and all the Southern
rebels we're opposed to helping the
Government pay the soldiers by
lending 1t their money, ana IN or
der for Mr.. Seymour to get the
votes Of the party that nominated
him, It becomes necessary that he
should publicly state in the news
papers that he does not and aeUer
did oWa Government Boadsj that
he Is not one of those despised,
bloated fellows who, when the Ma
tion's liberty and the Union was in
danger of being destroyed by reb,
els, lent his money to the Govern
ment, and took as security the
Bonds OF the United States. He
Is no bondhOlder; not he! Not a
dime Of his immense fortune went
to help pay suffering Union sol
diers!

- The Democrats have a very
Interesting quarrel in the 9th Dis
trict in this State. Crawford coun-
ty is politically a benighted region,
and for their blind devotion to the
party of the Lost Cause" claim
that they are entitled to the Demo
ocratic nominee for Congress-
Other sections of the District think
differently, and have nominated Mr.
Noble as the candidate Ofthe party
Crawford bolts and won't be com
forted, The result is that the 9th
will have "three Richmonds in the
field" The fight is certainly inter
eSting.

Our CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE, We
find the following article in the
Chillicothe Gazette Of last week;
While it was manifest that the
Republicans of Ross County, at the
late Greenfield Convention, felt
that the nomination was due to the
city Of Chillicothe, there was no
disposition to undervalue the emf
nent ability and personal worth Of
Mills Gardner, Esq, of Fayette,
who obtained the nomination. Mr.,
Gardner although a young man,
has made his mark as a man well
qualified for the position to which
he has been assigned, and will re-
ceive, we feel justified in saying, the
cordial support of the Republicans
of Ross.

The Democrats had a "speak-
ing meeting" at our neighboring
town of Hillsborough, last Satur-
day week. The speakers were Hon.
George H. Pendleton, Hon. Nelson
Barrere, Hon. R. NJ. Briggs and
Hon. w. H. Stafford. The last two
are rival candidates for the Demo
cratic nomination for Judge in this
sub division. The Hillsborough
News of the 18th, in a brief review
of these speeches, thus alludes to
the new convert to Democratic her
estes from this place:
Judge Briggs, Of Fayette county,
was next introduced to the audi.
ence, but we did not hear his speech
We understand he tried to explain
how he came to be in such bad com
pany, as a speaker at a Democratic
meeting, but made rather a lame at
tempt. He seemed embarrassed by
the novelty of his position, like the
boy who couldn't "get the hang oi
the new school house" "

- The Wilmington Republican
says that Grant Clubs will be form
ed in every township in that county
by Saturday night (16th inst } 1t
further says: "Clinton is one of the
strongest Republican counties in
the State, in proportion to its mum
bers, and it will maintain its proud
position. Two years ago it gave
1850 Union Republican majority,
and that majority must not be di-
minished the present year, but rath-
er, increased"
We expect to hear a good report
from Clinton--a county that never
fails to rally round the Union flag,
always does valiant service, and
never fails to win the battle in every

demain system, our rulers at Wash
ington were capable of extracting
money for the support of the Gov
ernment from pockets that were
rarely the recipients of but few of
even the lowest denomination of
Government "stamps."
Now all this cry about unequal
taxation by the sore-headed Democ-
racy is .tustiaa, and is raised for
political effect. It's object is to
prejudice the people against the
Legislative power of the Govern
ment. If any man thinks his taxes
are higher in proportion to every
thing else than they were under
what they call the Democratic nd
ministration of the late James
Buchanan, we will suppose, for in
stance, that his taxes be reduced to
what they were in 1860; then we
will compel him to sell his produce,
his lands, &c, at 1860 prices; and
we leave it to his own financial
skill to determine whether, afteTo
paying his taxes and selling his
produce Of oil kinds at 1858 rates
and prices, lie will not have q great
er cash balance in his pocket than
he would under the tax rates and
produce prices of 1860. Taxes,
we know, are high, but we aver
that, Notwithstanding we have just
come out Of the most destructive
war ever known in a civilized coun-
try, our taxes are not higher in
proportion to other things, than
they we're under the most palmy
days off Democratic administra-
lion. In testimony of this, we re.
fer to the delinquent tax list of our
own county. There never was
ess amount of lands returned to
,he Auditors office for the non
payment of taxes, than was returned
or 1867. There we're no lands re-
;urned delinquent for taxes, conse-
luently none were advertised for
ale. This was not the case under
Democratic rule.

An Infamous LieI

We find the following article in
the Register of this place, of yes
terday morning;
N.Y. We hear ii said that the Central
Grant Club, " ofthis place. came near breaking
up in row one evening last week. One OF
| the officers said, we learn, that "he was not
going to vote for Grant and he did not intend
to tell them who he would vote for" Another
one RESIGNED, and general disgust took pos
session of the members, They had all better
support Seymour and equal taxation
There never was a baser lie pro-
mulgated through that or any other
malicious, lying, slanderous sheet,
than the above. The Central Grant
Club had but one meeting last week,
and there never was a more har-
monious meeting, political, secular
or religious, held in this town,
than. the meeting at the Court House
on Saturday evening last, as every
person who was there, whatever
may be his political faith, well
knows. Further, there has never
been the slightest discord among
the members of the Club at any
meeting since its organization.
DR.. Hamilton was previously ap-
pointed as a member of the Execu.
tive Committee of the Central Grant
Club but as he was already a mem
Der of the County Union Central
Committe, and Secretary of that
Committee, he declined, not because
he was disgusted with the club, or
unwilling to give it his influence,
but because he had already as much
to do in that way, as his time
from his business would Justify
Nor has any officer of that club said
he was not going to vote for Grant,
but every officer and every member
of the Club is an active, ardent
worker for the election of Grant
and Colfax.
Ofcourse, every body here knows
the Registers article is an Infamous
lie; but the object is to have it get
in the Democratic papers
Of the State, and have it go the
rounds, as indicative of disaf-
lection in the party in this county.
We caution the papers of the State
hat by re-publishing the article
hey will give their aid in promul-
eating a wilful, malicious lie.
We call, too, upon the Union men
of this county to be up and doing,
FOR you have an enemy to contend
against that is bankrupt in moral
principle-one that will stop at no
ralsehood-one that will attempt to
drag every decent man down, down,
down, into his own degraded, filthy,
Shiny pool.

Very few OF the so-called
Democratic papers IN this State
have had the courage to pub

proposes to crush out, If necessary,
at the point of the bayonet, the re-
construction and other acts Of the
present loyal Congress-

- The Democratic papers state,
in order to deceive the people,
that the National debt is increasing.
How do they get their information
Surely not from the report of the
Secretary Of the Treasury, for by
that report it is shown that the Ma
tional debt has been reduced, since
the close of the war, S257, 100000
and that the appropriations for va,
rious Government purposes have
been greatly reduced within the past
year. And these Democratic pa
pers never tell their readers that by
the act of Congress at its late ses-
sion, the taxes for Revenue purpo-
ses have also been greatly reduced.
If they wish to give their readers
the truth in relation to the national
debt, why do they not publish the
official report of David A. Wells,
United States Commissioner Of
Revenue, made July 9th, 1862 II
they will publish this report, theil
readers will see that they are try.
ing to deceive them. This is JUS
the reason why the Democratic pa
pers do not publish this report II
convicts them of promulgating base
falsehoods, and would spoil al
their efforts at misleading theil
readers.
