THE PERRYSBURG JOURNAL.
Editorial Page.
Early in May next, at the close of the present vol
ume, this paper will be materially enlarged.
j23?-Some of our citizens are much averse
to the Toledo bridge project, and say it will
be resisted to the utmost.
J2-The Cincinnati Gazette and other pa
pers recorrmsnd that but one set of electors
be selected by both the Republican and K.N.
parties, in each of the free states, with on
understanding and pledge that the candidates
of the party receiving the highest vote in
such states as beat the pro-slavery ticket,
shall receive thi vote of the electoral college
so chosen. This seems to be the only course
left open by which ths pro-slavery party can
be baaten and every man enabled to vote his
untramelled sentiments. It is a good move.
The State Journal says that tin state house
commissioners of Ohio have made a report
to th3 legislature. It appears that the
last legislature was importuned, as the
present one is, for large appropriations, and
did appropriate $175,01") ; b it the commis
sioners have spent it all, and besides have run
tin state in debt, for work done and materi
als furnished, to thi extraordinary anmu.ntof
8333,123.42, without any law or authority
whatever. This debt is left for the republi
cans to piy; an I, in addition, u debt of
8150,000 for the lunatic asyums. This is
what the democrats m3an, we suppose, when
they resolve so frequently that they are in
favor of "an economical aJministration of
the government."
Of the COS convicts in the Ohio peniten
tiary, 53 are jecond convictions, 9 third, 3
fourth, and 1 fifth; 422 are intemperate, 262
are married, 50 are. blacks or mulattoes, 26
are over 50 years of age, 214 cannot read nor
write, and 400 have no trades.
The Port Clinton Register says that the
treasurer's office of Ottawa county was open
ed a short time since, and over 86,500 taken
therefrom. The eastern and western bound
trains were both blockaded by the snow a
little west of there, so that both trains laid
over there the night of the robbery. There
is a strong probability that a baud of bur
glars were on board the train from the west.
A number" of offices were opened and exam
ined in Toledo the night previous and left
locked as found. The railroad office there
was examined on the night the robbery was
committed, and locked as found, showing
tint the persons were prepared for doing a
general business in the way of opening and
locking doors.
If the governor of Kentucky should order
the arrest and delivery of the late fugitive
slaves in Cincinnati, to b.3 tried for murder,
iu answer to the requisition of Gov. Chase,
it may be regarded as a signal act of state
comity. The following is the constitutional
provision in such cases :
" A person charged in any state with trea
son, felony, or any other crime, who shall
f.zc from justice, and be found in another
s'.ate, shall, on demand of the executive au
thority of the state from which he fled, be
delivered up, to be removed to the state hav
ing jurisdiction of the crime.''
Th?s3 slaves have not " fled from justice."
Tii?y wjre taken from the custody of the
state, anl removed from its territory, under
color of a legal process. They do not com
ply with tha first quality nace.ssary to confer
upon tin executive of Ohio thi right of re
quisitionthat of being fugitives.
L. D. Campbell, M. C, has abandoned the
republicans and gone over to the support of
Fillmore and Donelson. His constituents
will probably think that " one good turn de
serves another," and leave " Little L?.w.'' at
home hereafter to recuperate his " morals of
politics." The very grave mistake of elect
ing him speaker of the house was happily
avoided. Who is the next doughface?
An unfortunate difficulty occurred at the;
school near Millgrove on the22d ult.,betweenj
the leachjr. Harrison Ivdley, son of Judgejiime
of Perrysburg, and James Wollam,
lad aged 17. The teacher attempted to chas-j
the scholar, when he drew a small club;
that he had concealed, and struck the teacher
on the head, and upon the latter approaching:
him again in his seat, he drew a dirk knif

joint of the hip, severely, and once slightlyjanl

for the. time being, but the teacher is recov-!

it in a few days. The lad is under bonds for

The provision in the new tax law dividing
assessments into two payments Decemb.tr
and June recommends itself to the minds of
the masses: it is in fact only allowing the
people to keep their money in their own
pockets until it is wanted for state purposes,
instead of paying it into the treasury to lie
idle, or hi speculated with, as has been done
in years past, and might be again, should the
plunderers once more iiet into power.
The law provides, as we understand if, that
half the assessment shall be paid at the usual
(thi whole, may be paid if the Ihx pay
Kelley, acr choosis) and the balance in June, with
the usual penalties and power to enforce col
tise lection in December as heretofore on only the
half then due. We have heard it suggested
on reliable authority that '.he bill would prob
ably be amended in the house and concurred
in by the. senate, miking th; whole tax due
payable in D.-cember, in cjsj of delin-
qnenry in the payment of the half. O. S.
