manufacturing and agricultural life OF its State. Its
editorial opinions are also expressed with unusual

The Tax plank I'm the Demo-
cratic Platform
Reads rs follows:

Reads Us follows:
~. Equal taxation of every spe-
cies ofproperty, according to its real
value, Including government bonds
and other public securities"
There can be nothing palmer than
the above. 1t says, "equal taxation
of every species of property, accor-
ding to its real value. F" The farmer
who now pays no government
tax must, if the Democratic party
succeeds and carries its policy into
effect, pay government tax on his
horses, cattle. grain, lands, farming
implements, and every other species
ofproperty, and that, too, according
to its real value. The government
assessor will then visit every farmer,
every mechanic, every laboring man,
every merchant and professional
man, and appraise for taxation at its
real value, every item of property
they have. The farmers horse worth
S1I3, will be assessed at S175; his
wheat worth 50, will be assessed at
50; his dog if worth anything will be
assessed at its ereal value" The
assessor will visit the shoemaker,
and assess his last, bench and tools
of every description, his stock OH
hand, rs well as every item ofhouse-
hold furniture, at their "real values"
the planes, chisels and augurs of the
carpenter will be assessed at their
"real value" every promissory note,
greenback, and every gallon of lager
beer and whisky, in short, "cvery
species ofproperty according to its
real value" will be listed by the as
SCISSOR for taxation. The poor mans
potato patch and mich cow worth
S0OO, real ncceSSarleS OF life with
him, will be taxed precisely the same
rs the rich luxuries of like value,
such as carriages ard watches.
This plank in the platform makes
no distinction between different spe-
cics of property. Imported sugars
are to be taxed the same as the farm
er's corn, and so with every other
article of foreign and home produc-
ton.
Farmers, mechanics, day -laborers,
merchants and all others who own
any property, if you favor the cleo
ton of Seymour and Blair, prepare
to pay taxes on "every species of
property according to its real value

How Voorhees, gets sIaiorftfes

The Wabash Express states That n Sui
Ivan county coppc:hcad named Murray
Briggs, by way of encouraging his polili-
cal friends from the other counties of the
Sixth District, gave the following glowing
account at the late VoorL ecs ratification
held in that city, of the ability of the
Democrats OF Sullivan county Ia furnish
any majority that may be required:
Sullivan is voting county; our Demo-
Gratis can vote early and often. We
pledge from Sullivan all the votes that NAV
be wanted TO carry this district; are can
supply any deficiency. If &c, don't
get rotes enough ia tic ballot Jorcs on
tic first day, ,cc kltoW hov to !gctthcm
ia on the ncrt ddy."
The fellow told the plain, rascally truth
about the capacity ofthc Sullivan Demec-
racy TO furnish Democratic maiorilies.
They thought they had elected Voorhees,
in 1864, by getting enough ballots in the
boxes in the way They know how" bat it
so happened that 'Rump Congress" in
vcsiigatcd the transaction and gave their
candidate his walking papers. They had
better not make their vote too large next
time, lest like unwelcome result should
be the consequence.

selves to sleep with the sweet lullaby,
"Truth, though crushed to earth,
will rise again.
But we opine that their truth, like
their pole, will not "rise again" until
shorn of much its length.
The kindhearted RAIDS don't blow
much, but they think it strange that
the smart Denis should raise a pole,
and within ten minutes afterwards
let it fall and break.
The boxes with the names Of Re-
publican firms and others on them
didn't burn that night, and Charley
spake not.

which G. III. r. was called, the anvil

sepulchral tones of the great defeated
were seen and heard under the Par
ker House Balcony.
The small sqnad who had heard
the like and nothing else from boy
hood, gathered close about the hon
ored orator, lest the smallest fraction
ofhis wise utterances, in behalf of
Packard ct al 0mne genus, should es-
cape them.
We could not hear all that was
said, but presume it was no different
from his other speechcs-in praise
Of Packard's principles, in landing
the greenbacks he has so often pro-
nounced unconstitutional and which
lie time and again proplesied would

ly advising what ought to be the poll

declared broken up, ruined, dismem-

statesmen, in times like these, after
all his counsels have proven
bad and his prophecies false, are val
liable indeed,

Democratic Pole Raising.

Last Saturday the Denis of Ply
mouth raised handsome hickory
flag staff, some one hundred and
twenty feet high, and flung to the
breeze the s.ar spangled emblem CT
our nationality. This is the first
time they have been patriotic enough
to do the like since the rebel general
who presided at the Democratic na-
tional convention while Seymour was
being nominated, and the rebel gen.
erals who nominated Blair, essayed
to trail the glorious old banner i'm the
dust, and to fly instead the rebel
"starsand bars
Friday evening, partly under the
guidance of Messrs. Murphy, Welch
and Fleming, the Denis made an un-
successful attempt to raise their pole.
One of the chief fuglemen of the par
ty, just before the show began, said,
''let's raise it right up without stop
ping, and make sure thing oft, so
the RAIDS can't blow us in their pa
per-" So at it they went. They first
raised "gin POLE" the top being
about forty feet from terra frma.-
This was secured (?) by three or four
bcdc ord looking lines. Near the top,
block and tackle were fastened-a
rope from the upper block was then
tied to the pole near the splice. At
the cry of she he," from Murphy
or Downey, up went the big end OF
the pole, representing the "butt cut
of original sin"-Democracy, the lit
tie end with Seymour and Blair,
streamer trailing on the ground, not
yet ready to 60.
A rope fastened to the big end
OF the pole and held by the heavy
men of the party, the Band played
'lyit' and then Seymour and Blair
must have said "you bet," for they
at once went up like a rocket.
In due time, though many doubts
and misgivi1gs were expressed, the
pole pointing towards souther
sky, stood nearly erect;
Operations ceased for time.
Meanwhile the Dcms were passing
to and fro, singly and in squads; the
fro ones were generally in smiling
mood.
About 9 o'clock they concluded to
get the pole in a perpendicular atti-
tude, and fasten it to the ground.
Just then an indiscreet Dem loos
ened one of the northern stays, and
Blair followed by Seymour started
sonthward with the top of the pole,
and didn't stop till they went more
than hundred feet toward South
Carolina, where they lay sprawling
on the ground, with the back of their
staff broken.
Then there was wailing and gnash-
ing, but no tears.
We presume the Dems sang them

Rouse's Dramatic Troupe fulfilled a
weeks engagement at Empire, Hall, in this
place, closing on Saturday evening, last
with Jack Sheppard. The extreme hot
weather of last week prevented many from
going, who would no doubt. have attended.
The performances of the troupe were far
beyond the average of travelling compan-
les. Mr.. and Mrs. Rouse, and Mr.. Nc
Farland, are not excelled in the characters
which they assume. This is particularly
the case with Mrs. Rouse, whose versatile
ty and the readiness with which she can
adapt herself TO any character, is seldom
cqualled. They arc now filling an engage
ment at Plymouth, where we hope they
will meet with the success they deserve.

Grown POINT, Ind, July %.
The Republican ratification meeting at
our place yesterday evening was very well
attended and very enthusiastic. All oroul
German citizens were present, and listened
to the eloquent speeches of our disiin-
guished candidate for Secretary of State,
DIR. NJ Hoffman, of Logansport, and of
Emil dorchester of Chicago.
Both gentlemen spoke clearly about the
great political issues of the day, and espe-
cially Mr.. L. dorchester made some most
happy points in regard to the reputation
and equal taxation theory of the Demo
cratic party. His speech was oslen ap-
plauded, and created great enthusiasm.

Grant and Seymour.


That we may do no injustice to the
man we will quote in part the de
scription of Seymour which appeared
in the Democrat of the 10th inst:
Seymour is dressed in the old
style shad belly coat, which is but
toned across his chest, leaving open
a diamond shaped portion of ire
proachable white linen and very
neatly arranged black neck-tie of
moderate dimensions. The head is
well shaped, and set gracefully back
on q pair of firm shoulders, and the
lower part of the face, below the eyes,
is almost perfect oval. The eyes
are of brilliant brown color, and
shine like diamonds beneath az
forehead which is bald-the bald
ness extending as far back as the
back part Of the skull. = = The
skin Of the face is sallow and q thin
seam of whiskcrs encircles the throat
under the chin. 1t has always been
an accompaniment if not an inIica-
ton OF genius Bosh.] *** The
hands, rhen lifted in tie air, are whcte
like romans, and the fingers are long
and sienderiy shaped. "a To the
humblest man in The party he is cour-
teous, polite and kind in Lis manner"
How is he to those out of the par
ty?l
Here is a Democratic pen picture
of the born aristocrat, the "bloatcd
bOndholder's" advocate, that the
people are asked to vote for. Sey-
mour, though married, is not man
enough to become a fathcr-at leas
he has no Children.
BY nature he is not lovable but cold
and selfish. Although by Democrat
ic papers styled the "farmcr of Deer
field, he never labors with his hands
which ''are white like a woman's,'
and his ''fingers slenderly shaped, -
never aid in harnessing his horse
How can man who has always been
rich, has lived a life Of ease and lux
ury $50 much so that a description
Of him is a description Of a woman
except ga thin seam of whiskers en-
circling the throat" and badness.
and who never performed any labor
save political labor, have any real
sympathy with the labering men Of
the nation? Mr.. Seymour is fifty
seven years ofage, and ambitious for
office, has spent his whole life in pol
tiles publicly proclaimed to his party
that he would not be its candidate,
and that if he accepted the nomina
he would be dishonored man. Low.
