Eg- If there is q single voter in
this county who entertains a notion
of voting for DR.. John Sanns; because
he is personal friend" or good
neighbor and citizen, or a "clever
fellow" we will ask him if this is not
contest of principle alone, and not
of the relative qualities Of two diff
ferent men ?
The principles of the Republican
party are right, or they are wrong.
If they are right-and they mast be
if the divine truths of freedom, JUS
tice and equal rights for all men,
which are the very foundation stone
OF its platform of principles, be cor
rect-Dr. JOHN SANNs is radically
wrong. On the other hand he repre-
sents party whose principles are
antagonistic, not only to the best in
tepests, but the very existence itself,
of our government. Think we'll of
these things and then vote your prin-
ciples by voting for JoHE T. WILSON.

The Congressional Canvass

In this district and-county is being
carried on with a vigor, which if
perseyered in until the evening of the
18th of Oct will ensure the trium-
nbant election of Mr.. WILSON by a
large majority. 1t is of the utmost
importance that this result be secur-
ed, not only to this district, but to
the Union loving, patriotic people
throughout the nation. Involved in
this contest are principles lying at
the very foundation of republican in
st,tutions, and their defeat would
entail disasters, the magnitude of
which no one can tell, upon the
country North and South, East and
West. 1t is not question of per-
sonal popularity or personal friend
ship, but one in which love of coun-
try, national honor and integrity
alone should influence men in their
decision as for whom they will give
their votes. DR.. JOHN SANNs, the
democratic candidate for Congress IN
this district, is, and always has been.
a democrat of the "straitest sect"
using his time, influence and money
in furthering the purposes of that
party. In accepting the nomination
for Congress he places himself upon
the platforms of his party; endorses
its nominations and their sentim ents
as given in their letters and speech
es. Our readers are already familiar
with the democratic platform, framed
in part by Wade Hampton, and other
noted rebels, and wholly in their in
terest: and with Frank Blair's famous
Broadhead letter, revolutionary and
reasonable in the extreme, and it is
only necessary to call their attention
to them. Is there a voter in the
county or district, who stood shoul-
der to shoulder with his government;
whose heart throbbed with exceed
ing great joy, upon the receipt of the
intelligence of a glorious victory for
the old flag; whose hearts and purses
were always open to the wants of the
soldier, can entertain the remotest
idea of casting his vote for a man
who is candidate of that party!
We do not believe that one can be
found.
Voters, be true to yourselves, TO
your country and your flag, and show
your devotion by voting for Hon.
JOHN L. WILSON, who has been tried
and never found wanting; and who
represents those divine principles OF
liberty, truth and justice, which is
the foundation of all republican gov
ernments.

COUNTY TICKET.
r~ One of the lies which the

re- One of the lies which the
stumpers fer the cause of Wade
Hampton, Seymour, Forest and Blair
tell. and we understand it was re-
peated at the Court House here last
week, by Col. CockERELL, is that the
National Banks pay no taxes. They
know better, but use it to deceive and
mislead the unthinking. 1t is OF a
like character with all their assertions,
touching the tax question-pure de-
ception and fraud.
The official records at Washington
show that the National Banks pay to
the United States and State govern
ments sum of SIS, 3sS,7s3 per an
mum as taxes, equal to four and one
third per cent. on the amount Of their
capital stock. No species of proper
ty in the country pays as high a per
cent. as Bank stock. Let any farmer
in Gallia county look up his tax re-
ceipt, and let him calculate the per
cent that he pays, and he can satisfy
himself, beyond doubt or controver-
sy, that he pays no such tax-proba-
bly, not one half as much. The Gal
ipolls Bank, for the year 1867, paid
to the State and National Govern
ments combined, tax Of .fOe ana
seven tesths per cent on the amount Of
its capital stock And yet these
Wade Hampton stumpers will &C
about the country telling the people
that National Banks don't pay any
taxes! If man lies to you in one
particular, can you believe him in
any?
The truth is, that all the malice OF
the copperheads against these institu-
tions, arises from the fact that they
sustained the Government finances,
and upheld its credit, in its hours of
direst extremity. That's the secret of
this opposition, and of this wholesale
lying. Every thing and everybody
that aided in saving the Government
from overthrow by rebel hands, is a
reminder of their own reasonable
course during the war, and hence
meets only with their undying hate
and malice. No matter whether il
is National Bank or a successful
General-they were instrumental il
whipping their rebel friends and
saving the Government-and that is
sufficient 10 draw out all the venom
and malice that is in their hearts, and
caused it to be poured out upon the
head of all such agencies.

Bonds Taxation-mr. Penaleton.

Judge Mash, in his speech before
the Grant Club, short time since,
thus stated the law in relation 70 the
power of the State and of Congress
to tax the bonds OF the United States.
He said:-
MIR. Pendleton was asked at Cleve-
land to say whether the States could
tax the bonds of the United States.
He replied that under the decisions
Of the Supreme Court of the United
States, a State could not tar these bonds.
but he said that Congress could
authorize the States to tax them. or
could itself levy a tax on them.
Thus Mr. Pendleton admits the want
of power in the States to tax these
bonds, while his followers, in their
papers and speeches, continue to harp
on this subject as. though this taxa
ton was within the power of the
States If these men are sincere,
why did not the democratic majority
in our last legislature pass law to
tax these bonds? They promised
before the election to do it, but they
did not do it, because they knew the
legislature had no power to do it.
There was then no sincerity in this
cry put forth year ago, it was a
mere electioneering lie, and for the
time being served its purpose.
1t is now then settled by Mr.. Pen
dleton that State cannot tax these
bonds; but he says Congress may az
Morize At to be done. This / deny.
These bonds are exempted from
taxation by the constitution of the
United States, not by virtue of any
law. The Court held that whatever
agency the General Government
might employ in the execution of the
powers granted TO it was and must
be free from and independent of
State interference: hence q State
could not tax the bank of the United
States, the salary of the officers OF
the United States, or the bonds is
sued by it. This Is a constitutional
exemption. Now, if the constitution
exempts these bonds from taxation,
then a law of Congress authorizing
the States to tax them, would be a
law authorizing State to do an act,
which the Courts say the constitution
declares State cannot do; and hence
such a law would be against the con,
stItution and void. This same view
of the question is taken by the New
York Court of Appeals in the case
of The People VS.. Hoffman, 9th
New York Reports g. Hunt, j. says:
sit is evident from these cases that
stock or bond Of the United States,
issued upon loan of money to the
Government, is none the more eX-
cmpt from taxation, on account of a
declaration to that effect in the act
of Congress authorizing the issue,
Tie exemption Is constitutional and mol
leqiSlati0c. Whatever the censtitu-
ton exempts is exempt. although
the act OF Congress is silent upon
that point. Whatever the constitu-
ton does not make exempt, it is be-
yond the power of Congress to ex
empt, however numerous or explicit
may be its declarations. < Il =
Such means or instruments cannot
be taxed, not because Congress de-
clares that they shall not be taxed,
but because they are part of the ope-
ration Of the Government, which the
constitution declares must not be
burdened or impeded." This is a
clear statement of the argument and
conclusive against any power in Con-
gress to authorize the States to tax
these bonds.

Ew The Republican plan of taxa
tion ia vors the poor in that they are
not taxed. The democratic plan, as
enunciated at New York, proposes
"equal taxation upon all species of
property according to its true value"
thus taxing the land Of the farmer,
the horse and dray of the dray-man,
the tools of the mechanic, and the
very household goods and bedding
of the laborer. How do you like
that? Which plan is the best for
the poor man? Vote for the poor

What IS to Come of Seymour's

In the extraeheet which we send
to our readers. this week, is an Illus
tration of tie fate in store for Union
men in The South, should Seymour

vention of Northern Radicals, but is
an exact reproduction of the editori-
al page of the Independent Moni-
tor. of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Sept.

from which this is copied, is in the
possession of the editors of the Cin-
clnnati Commercial. In this con-
ncction the editors of the CONNER
cial say:
We are receiving more letters than
we can answer, inquiring whether
the cut which appeared in the Com
mercial of Saturday was really cop
led from an Alabama paper, or wheth-
er it was invented in this office, with
the purpose of expressing the spirit
of the Southern Democratic Press,
as we understand it.
Of course the cut appeared in the
Ladependent Monitor, OF Tuscaloosa,
Alabama, of the date of September
1. We took the Alabama paper to
an engraver and directed him to re-
produce the cut, nothing extenuating,
and setting down naught in malice.
He did his work we'll The cut, as it
appeared in the Commercial, can
only be distinguished from the orig
inal by the better ink used and i'm.
preston taken.
Inquiries are particularly made as
to whether the word Ohio was upon
the carpet bag ofone of the hanging
figures. 1t was, certainly. And the
head line over the cut was in the AL
ALBANIA paper: "a prospective
scene in the City of Oaks, 4th OF
March, 1868" This line differs as
it appears in the Commercial from
the copy, in the fact that the Ala
bama paper had the words "City OF
Oaks" in quotation marks. In the
Commercial these marks were omit
ted
In the Alabama paper the cut and
the accompanying matter was dis
tinct warning to Northern emigrants,
that they might expect a general
hanging on Seymour's Inauguration
day. The notice to Ohloans, OF
whom a large number have settled in
Alabama, was especially impressive.
The whole paper-the Independent
INonitor-is rank with the most dead
Ily malignity.

these rebels-the Seymour and
Blair supporters in Ohio-wlll deny
the authenticity of the cut and its ac'
companying remarks, and therefore
