1T is impssible to calculate how the
people OF Marlborough can Obviate the
necessity orpayiug more taxes than. the
citizens Of tie neighboring countiessur-
rounding US. WIN. H. WALKER "
LSee Card IN Ev0asejle JossrnGt, Nay 25tt.
1851
The above declaration was written
aud published by the present Demo
cratic candidate for Mayor, in defense
of himselfand the Democratic County
Commissioners from the cry of the
people OF account of the enormous
burdens of-taxation. At that time
they had evied tax upon the people
of Vande1burgh County amounting to
TWENTY TWO DOLLARS AND EIGHTY
THREE ClNTs IN GOLD per voter.
And yet We have demonstrated that
the Republican levies for taxation
since his day have averaged about
TEN DOLLARS AND TWENTY-FIVE
GENTS IN CURRENCY per voter.
In 1859, Mr.. WALKER said it was
impossible to calculate how the Peo-
Die of Varderburgh can obviate the
necessity Of paying more taxes than
the citizens of the neighboring coun-
ties" What was our impossibility"
with the Democratic candilate for
Mayor, who processes to be great
strickler for low taxes, has become an
accomplished fact under Republican
administration in Vanderburgh. We
have no Official return of the taxation
of the neighboring Counties in 1867,
but from the report of the State Audi
tor we have the following statement
of the County taxes of Democratic
Counties of this part of the State in
1866, to which we add the rate Of tax
alton in VanderbUrgh for the years
1866 and 1867:

cordingjy he parades the call, with
sundry Republican names attached
to impress the people with the idea
7thatsEhgse geBtFefhen are goingto vote
for him. Bat the subterfuge win
avail him nothing. The Courie; 5
frantic statements will have no infu-
enee upon the gentlemen they are de-
signed to effect We happen to know
thato| all the Republicans who signed
Mr.. WALKERS call, with perhaps
only two or three exceptions, every
man will vote for WILLIAM BAKER.
We are also informed, and are happy
to learn the fact, that several Demo
Gratis whose names are attached to
the cali also propose looking after
the interests Of the city by voting for
WILLIAM BAKER "a
The Republicans who signed Mr..
WALKERS paper did 50 under the
impression that Mr. BAKER would
not be candidate, aud that Mr..
WALKER was to be citizens, and not
partisan, candidate. Statements
were fully made to,that effect. When
Mr.. WALKER consented to become a
partisan candidate with WILLIAM BA-
KER rs his opponent, the conditions
on which the Republicans signed his
cali were set aside, and they were re-
leased. Mr.. WALKER evidently re-
garded the matter in this light when
ne so distinctly announced at the
Convention that he depended OF Demo-
cratic Uotes for success.
We are not surprised that Mr..
WALKER and the Courier should be-
come alarmed, as they see the props
upon which they base their hopes of
success, one after another, knocked
from under them. But we can assure
them that the good work is going on
raDidly. The people are studying the
facts submitted for their considera-
ton, and are making up their minds
accordingly. We need hardly add
that the decisions are ordinarily adj
verse to Mr.. WALKERS wishes.
Republicans will bear in mind that
most of the Republicans whose names
are attached to the call of WILLIAM
II. WALKER, are hearty supporters Of |
WILLIAM BAKER, and will vote for
him. With this fact to encourage /
them, let the good work 60 on until
the last vote IS polled on Monday |
next.

We have occupied considera bic
space in quoting facts and figures
from the County Records in our
examination of the question of Mr..
WALKER s fitness tor the office ofMay-
or But this gentlemau's public SER
vices have not been confined to County
matters. He once held City office,
and we have been surprised that he
has not referred to it as evidence of
his experience in municipal affairs
but neither In his harrangue to the
uuterri6ed of the Ninth Ward,
no- in his Market-house speech, nor
in his Cards or editorials has he al
iuded to the fact that he once held
the Office of City Assessor. It cannot
be that his silence was occasiOned by
modesty. a Democratic ofice-holder
Of. nineteen years standing cannot
Justly be accused of that. In his
speech at the Court House on Satur-
day night he boosted Of his knowl-
edge Of the real estate of the city
and informed his audience that when
he was elected Mayor he was going to
have the present very erroneous and
unjust Assessment corrected. He bad
that opportunity once before, aud Jet
u That he accomplished,

We have contrasted the rate Of
taxation for County purposes, by the
Democratic and Republican admin
istrations. Mayor BAKER in his
speech at Tlrner Hall, on Saturday
night, presented the contrast for City
taxation with Democratic aud Repub-
licau management with the following
result:
7 =nocratic City ievtes for ls56-59...... 81 .
Republican City levies for lS5 81. 81 90
And yet the Democracy insist that
if Mr.. WALKER is elected, they wi I
give the people lower taxes They
failed to do it when they were in pow
er, and they would fail again.

which were fairly rendered and
which were worth Eve times the
amount the Auditor received.-C0ur-
Ter, Sunday.
Give Us your authority We deny
that Republican officials advised by
Republican attorneys allowed Mr..
WALKER 500 for seven years ser
vices. Mr.. WALKER himself makes
no such assertion. He knows that he
drew his 800 per year, regularly, and
during the greater part of the seven
years there were no Republican off
Gals in the County. IF Mr. WALKER
drew the money under misapprehen-
sion, which has been removed since
by Judge PARRETT's decision, why
don't he refund the amount taken,
and thereby clear himself Of all
blame? Until he does so it is in bad
taste for him OF his friends to accuse
anybody else of taking money from
the treasury unlawfully.
