Editors Fayctte County HeraM'
On last evening as large number of
people as was ever known to be at poIit
cal meeting in Green Township, assem-
bled at the School House in this place and
listened to some stirring speeches made
by Messrs. Williams, PAvey and Cox =
Mr.. A +; Hixson was present, but declin-
ed to make speech, However, he did a
little skirnishing and retired to- make
room for Mr.. Payey, who made an able
and convincing speech upon the Finances
of the country. This speech was full Of
argument, and was very satisfactorily re-
ceived. After the conclusion of Mr., Pa
vey 8 remarks, our talented and energetic
candidate for representative, M. J, Will
liams, came forward and ably discussed
the issues that are now agitating the peo
Pile of the State of Ohio. He gave cure
full recital of the history of the Democratic
PARTY from 1860 to 1863, also showing how
conspicuously George H. Pendleton hgur-
ed during the late war, in which his
(Pendletons) friends were seriously
worsted After taking up the issues, one
by one and satisfactorily disposing ol
them, he came ON to the Democratic
stumbling block, THE late General AS
sembly,"
When Mr. Williams has anything to say
about this late Legislature, our Democrat
ic Grionds hold up their hands in holy
horror. Well, that is natural, for wheT
one has a club foot he does not wish any
thing said about it, and as this Legislature
I is the elub.foot Of the Democratic party
they would rather not have it mentioned
But when Mr. Williams told the peopl
tho facta about the enormous expenditure
and proaigaey Of that body, they weF
ready to say, "Go on, Marshall, fight
good fight and we will sustain You y
October. We can't trust Democracy an.
more" and they mean it.
After MIR. Williams had concluded, j. 1
Cox, an old sturdy farmer addressed tn
meeting for short time. He made yer
forcible speech and eles by warning u
people to shun the Independent e0dge.-
but old Green will take care Of herself
that respect. We know Of no lndependen
men on the Republican ticket, and the
say they are not in the Democrat party
but sailing under the name Of lndepend

- The election Of members OF
the State Legislature, this year, Is
one gilmore than ordinary import
ance, from the iaet that 1t will de
volye upon the members elected IN
October next, to divide the State
into Congressional Districts; and
from past experience IN this State,
the Republicans cannot expect 4
fair and honorable distributing by
their political opponents, We say,
therefore, to the Republicans of our
county, If you do not want the
State so unfairly distrieted as to
throw a majority of the Districts
into the power Of the 50. calle'
Democratic party, vote for tbs ke
publican candidate for Representa-

independent Democratic Ticket.

1t seems that the Democrats in
old Delaware county (where the
Republicans always have the major,
ity,) are trying to come the same
sneaking game on the Republicans
in that county that they are in this
They dare not nominate a ticket
composed of their own political
friends, and thereforeput up tick
ct with the name of a Republican
or two in it, and call it an inde-
pendent ticket -- something they
never do in counties where, the
Democrats have a majority.
Below we clip paragraph from
the Delaware Gazette of last week
on the subject of independent
Candidates" which applies with
equal force to this county that it
does to Delaware. We therefore
adopt its sentiments, and recon-
mend it to the careful consideration
of the readers of the HERALD
at is we'll known that the Dem
ocratic party leaders have held back
their nominations in abeyance OF
this independent movement. Now
why should this be done unless the
Democracy hope to profit by TT
They have always made their own
nominations hitherto. why not in
this instance We take it that tits
because they have no hope Of elect
ing an out-and-out Democratic
ticket and expect to gain more by
creating q division among the Re
publicans. Having despaired Of
any dissension among us on mat.
ters of principle, they hope to get
us involved in q despicable quarrel
about the offices. Will it pay?
at is currently reported that
prominent Democrats have pledged
The support of the party to this in,
dependent ticket. Now we would
like to know by what authority
these gentlemen assume to pledge
the votes of their party. Do they
presume to say their people are ca
pable of being driven like cattle to
the polls at the crack Of the party
whip? We have no faith in these
pledges. Their obvious purpose
| is to encourage a division in the
Republican party, and that being
once accomplished so far as to
give the Independent ticket a reas-
enable prospect of success, we
should expect to see the Democra-
cy, perhaps secretly and in the clos
ing hours of the canvass, put forth
a straight Democratic ticket and
elect IT, Is any one simple enough
to suppose they would not avail
themselves Of such an opportunity
once presented2
Aside from all other considera-
tions, it is a grave question for eY-
cry Republican to consider, wheth-
er he will by any means whatever
aid the Democracy in securing such
an advantage. Isit necessary? Is
it right?'
If the Democratic party cast theil
votes for what they choose to call
an Independent Republican, can il
be denied that they expect to be
paid for these votes, either by votes
for q Democrat in return, or in
some other way? Individuals OF
the party may do it, but when the
ring leaders Of the party pledge the
support Of the party for an indie
pendent Republican, there is nc
room to doubt that there is a rccip'
rocal commercial transaction con,
nccted with it.

w1T,r,TAM HEAGLER.


to day that William Heagler has
at last made up his mind to be a
candidate for Representative in the
interest of the Democratic party
(but under the name of "Ladepend-
eat'
We understand that Mr., Heagler
has been closely identified and
acting with the Democratic party
ever since the breaking out of the
Rebellion, and is still a member of
that party organization in good
standing, and in the event of his
election to the Ohio Legislature
is expected to and would act and
vote upon all party measures with
the Democrats.
Mr.. Heagler is not discussing be-
fore the people the political ques-
tons of the day, and probably does
not intend to do so, but we sup
pose he is counting on Republican
votes to help him out, and relies,
of course, as his only hope of cleo
ton, upon the united and undivided
support of the Democracy, and
what few Republicans may be in
duced to vote for him.
We suppose that Mr. Heagler
does not desire to obtain votes by
false pretenses, but is willing to let
the people know where he stands
politically; and for the satisfaction
and enlightenment of the people, so
that everybody may know what
they may expect in voting for Mr..
Heaglcr, we beg leave to submit
to him the following questions
which we ask he may answer, eth
er on the stump or through our col
umns;
J.. Do you belong to the Demo
cratic party2
2, Are you u supporter of Geo
Fl. Pendleton for Governorof Ohio,
and do you expect to vote fol
him?
3, Did you vote for and support
Clement L. Vallandigham for Gov
ernor of Ohio in 1868, when he raj
against John Brough
A. In the event of your election
to the Legislature, will you vote
with the Democrats i'll Districtine
Ohio into Congressional Districts
or will you vote with the Republi
cans.
We tender to Mr. Heagler the
free use Of our columns to answer
; the foregoing questions, and every
Republican should be fully satisfied
J how he stands on these questions
0 especially the 4th one, before cast
I ing his vote for Mr.. Heagler, for i
the democracy get majority in TIN
Legislature, and Mr., Heagler be o
I that number, they can, and noboub
will, so District Ohio into Con
! gressional Districts as to secure
! fve additional Democratic Mem
bers of Congress. So that it il
important for Republicans TO un

4 Mr. Williams, the Republican
= candidate, is speaking in every par

j. Mr., Heagler is, that the peopl
Q may know, either from his utter

TAXATION.

L AO " WV
because the United States bonds is.
sued for the purpose Of raising
money to defray the expenses OF
saving this government from de,
struction by the rebels are not taxed
by the Legislatures of the States
and claims credit for the late Dem
ocratic Legislature Of this State for
taxing such United States bonds
In the last Register the editor
says
"The Legislature is charged with
not fulfilling promises made to the
people, because they did not tax the
Bonds, &c. There is now law
upon the statute books of Ohio,
enacted by the last Legislature, and
passed, we believe by strict party
vote, requiring all property OF
whatever description, to be returned
for taxation. lit is not enforced,
can the Democracy be held respon-
sible2 They enacted the law, if
those whose duty it is to execute
the laws, nullify or disregard them,
who is responsible? The people
should see to this matter"
Now the Legislature of this State
knew that under the Constitution
Of the United States the States can
not tax these bonds yet, for the
purpose of deceiying the people,
they have passed a law by which
they propose to tax them, and
! then if the taxes are not CO.
collected, try to indict the Repub.
lican officers for not doing what the
Democratic Legislature knew they
could not do and these Democrats
profess to be wonderful admirers
OF our national primary law-that
is when it suits their party schemes
to be so.
In the first place, the Constitution
Of the United States provides (arti
Gle /, section p that representa-
ton and direct taxes shall be ap
portioned among the several States
which may be included in the Uni
ted States according to their re
spectiye numbers )" not according
to the number of bonds they mal
hold. Under this rule Massachu
sets and Rhode Island, having
more wealth in proportion to thei
population, would pay less taxes
according to their wealth than any
States in the Union, and the West
ern States more, because they have
more people in proportion to theil
dollars.
In the same article, section 8, tn
Constitution provides that "no cap
itation or other direct tax shall b
laid, unless in proportion to tn
census or enumeration hereinbefor
directed to be taken"
Now the contract has been mad
between the United States on on
side, and the men who paid thoi
money for the bonds of the Unite,
States on the other, and the righ
of the States to tax them is prohih
tied in the following provision o
the Constitution, same article u
above, and section 10, latter clause
"No State shall pass any bill o
attainder, ex post facto law, or lay
impairing the obligation of con
tracts"
Under the provisions of the Con
stitution which we have quote
above, it must be plain to ever
man who is the possessor of
thimble full Of brains, that taxes o
government bonds, as provided 70
in the law to which Mr.. Gould rt
fers, cannot be collected, becaus
the law itself is null, being clearl
unconstitutional--a fact that wa
we'll understood by the more inteI
ligent and well informed Democrat
ic members Of tho last Legislo
