Against the Amendments.

Allen O. Myers is publishing in the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, series Of letters which
dissect and discuss the proposed constitution
al amendments. He regards these amend
ments as radical and dangerous" and says
they propose three things:
l. The present system of taxation is to be
torn to pieces, and the whole question is to
be left az football to DO kicked about by
each succeeding legislature. when the lobby
will legislate for dishonest and corporate
capital at the expense of the honest tax
payers and small property holders of the
State.
Q. The terms of all the State officers are to
be extended. The Governor hopes to have
his term of Office extended for third term
at $1,000 year for three years, when he can
blossom forth as a presidential candidate,
without being compelled to offer himself as
q candidate for Governor for the fifth con-
secutive time.
3. The system of apportionment for the
Legislative districts is to be changed, and the
rascally and corrupt single districts that have
degraded and debauched the legislatures of
two of the largest States in the Union, and
made Boss Tweed possibility and GER
tainty in American politics, is to be intro
duced in Ohio. Why and for what purpose
nobody knows outside of the select gang Of
strangers that gather about Foraker and
constitute his personal cabinet aud particu-
lar advisers. 49,

No strange gods for us. There is no use
to talk. Our nominee for Governor must be
a Democrat on Democratic platform. Even
if the Governor of Ohio has nothing to do
with the tariff and revenue question, the
principle to which our party is pledged is in
volved and the moral of the Ohio election
must not be sacrificed to the qualification of
personal good will.
We have private information which salts
fies us that the Hon. Samuel F. Hunt will ac-
cept the nomination and make an active
Give us Hunt and the Democ-
racy will carry the State by 10000 majority.
Democrats will all vote against Foraker, and
there are enough honest Republicans who
are disguised with the 'little brass god" to
shelve him.

note the fact that Republican papers at once
discovered in double leads and big capitals
that he is Democrat. After four weeks
unremitting study they have not yet found
out the politics of Auditor Graham and
Treasurer Coleman, OF Warren county. Hon.
John Geyer, of Paulding, in speaking of the
matter says: THE trouble is due 10 the
negligence Of Sheriff Swain alone He has
no dishonest motives whatever As for the
deficit, it will not exceed $1,000. Neither
bondsmen nor tax payers win lose cent
The sheriff has fees outstanding to the
amount Of $4,000. This will insure them
against loss. The bondsmen, who are all
Democrats, forced Mr.. Swain to do as he
did, and thereby spoiled any plans of the Re-
publicans to make capital ont of it."

wGen. Beatty adduces cogent reasons

~ Gen. Beatty adduces cogent reasons
why Gov. Foraker should not be reelected.
He shows that his administration during two
terms has been incompetent or worse, that
he has employed his position for selfish po-
litical and mercenary purposes, that he has
fil led State Offices with idlers and personal
followers, that "his CRY from the beginning
has been for more money, more things to
tax" and that his defeat win put an end to
packing conventions, settle the third term
bu siness in Ohio and teach our Governors
and their subordinates that public Office is
not a private perquisite." All this he argues
as stalwart Republican, speaking for the
interests of his party. His position is un-
assailable.

NEW BAVARIA, o., Aug. II, 1859.
Our neighboring village of Pleasant Bend
is making a great effort to become little
city. Not alone has it a new elevator erected
by parties from Defiance, but neat new
church of the English Lutheran denomina-
tion is nov in process of construction, John
Bu-khart being contractor. This will GER
tainly enhance the looks of the village, and
what is Of more value to the residents of the
same. will undoubtedly raise the standard Of
religion and morals, of which until now they
stood sorely in need of.
The Hornung Bros. of this place, owing to
the immense stock of slaves, hoops &C., on

Of new sheds and otherwise make new storage

an extent as to vie with any other establish
ment OF the same kind in Northwestern Ohio.
This is due not only to their financial
management, but to their courteous manners
and fair dealings with their customers.

The death of Rev. G. A. Verlet, the pastor
of the Catholic congregation, which took
place on the 3rd inst. has cast heavy gloom
over his flock. He had been ailing for weeks
and months, but until two weeks before his
demise fulfilled the functions of his pastorate.
His funeral which took place on last Tues
day, was attended by thirty of his co-laborers
and an immense multitude of people from far
and near. A richly draped catafalgue was
placed within the sanctuary of the church,
upon which rested the remains, while a
solemn requiem was chanted under the di-
rection of Rev. J. B. Jung, of Defiance. The
Very Rev. Monsig, Boff, Vicar General of
the diocese, delivered a very appropriate and
touching sermon, both in English and Ger
man. Among the clergy present we noticed
Revs. Ankly, of Wooster; Pitts and Bihn. of
Tifin; O'Brian and Moran, Of Toledo; voll-
mayer, of Custar; Pitz, of Napoleon; Rup-
pert, of Bellvue; Miller of Ottoville; Brasch-
Ter, OF Fl. Jennings; Kinkaid, of Doylestown;
Harks, of Massillon; Bertemus, of New Cleve-
land, and Panusko, of Holgate, besides sever
al more whose names we could not learn.
The remains of Father Verlet were deposi-
ted in a vault in the center of the cemetery,
where as soon as possible a suitable monu-
ment will be erected. The deceased leaves no
relatives in this country, but an only brother,
who is a colonel of French cavalry regiment.
His memory will long be cherished by his
flock, as we'll as by those with whom he came
in contact otherwise. May he rest in peace.

How Much Longer?

One fact is worth a carload of inference
There can be no denial that since the green
back prices have fallen off to actual values
there has been steady decline in the selling
prices of farming lands amounting to not
less than an average of % per cent. During
the same time there has been a steady ad-
vance in the rate of tariff taxation, the per-
centage of tax increasing with the falling off
in the cost of tax commodities. In the face
of this condition, how much longer can the
farmers be made to believe that they can be
made fat and prosperous by paying bounties
to protected industries9 They might as well
try to make butter from SKINNED milk,
while feeding cream to the pigs.

transacted for the good of the organization.
