. Rem arts of Ms. Witters. It Is unnecessary
to call the attention of our roaders to the remarks
of Mr. Watters, on the Bank bill, which will be
found in this paper. Tbey are thoroughly ortho
dox and patriotic.
TnE mew Kami for tha country continues to be
the topic of the press, everywhere ' Allegania"
will not go down without a struggle, for we see
new suggestions daily. The latest is "Winnr
pisseopiariia;" and we do not son why the coun
try should not be called nftcr a big lake in New
Hampshire, as a big mountain rango in Pennsyl
vania. " Dismalswnmpianin," or " Okcfonokc
ania" are hi eh sounding titles, and if the South
puts in for the honor of re-bnptising us, those will
no doubt be duly considered. The Plebeian iroes
in for " Dollarland," which, it snysisagood Yankee-Saxon
word; so good, indeed, that tho editor
perpetrates the joke in two paragraphs in the same
paper. All theso ore ingenious, but none of them
ean compare with " Yankocdoodledom." New
York Exprest.
f) We have no amendments to offer to the
above amendments though " Buckeyelnnd" or
' Suckerdom," or even " Pukcdom" would bo
quite as good names, if we are to have a change,
as any of those suggested.
We are glad to see that these new-fangled no
mencjators meet with ridicule and rebuff from all
tjuartcTS. We have seen no reason urged why
sentence of dentil should be pronounced upon
our time-honored and time-hallowod national
namo, that strikes us as possessing any force,
compared with the powerful reasons reasons
that have their seat in the heart that can be urg
ed against it. "What's in a name?" A good
deal in our Republic's name, at least the opi
nion of the learned clique of Gothamite " fecloeo
fers" to tho contrary notwithstanding. It was
baptized in the blood of our heroa and snges; it
was " nurs'd amid the winds and cradled in the
storms." The nation's birth and life has glori
fied our nation's name, beyond that of any other
in Christendom j and nothing but an equally
glorious future of heroism and martyrdom in the
cause of human rights, can command the same
veneration for any other name. Wo oppose the
vandalism that would innovate upon the old name
ot the old principles as written down by Jeffer
son in the Declaration of Independence.
Editorial Convention. It is proposed in one
of tho Mt. Vornon papers to hold a convention of
(he democratic editorial fraternity of Ohio, at that
place, during the early part of the coming sum
mer. One of the chief reasons urged is, that
there is a democratic landlord in the said town
of Mt. Vernon, who is a pretty clever fellow, and
wants " to raise the wind." It probably cost hiin
two or three cents, and perhaps even a firyto in
duce Ellis to make ihe proposition.
The Peoples' Forcm, is the title of ono of the
best conducted and best looking democratic pa
pers in Ohio just established at Bucyrus, by J,
R. Knap?, jr. It is just such a paper as ought to
succeed. .
How (lie Coon Legislature lias re
lived the liurdciis of I lie People.
As soon as it was ascertained, last fall,
that the coons had a majority in the Legisla
ture, the Cincinnati Gazette, Ohio Slate
Journal, and other organs of that parly, came
out in great exultation at the manner in
which the burdens of the peoplo were to be
relieved: the session of the Legislature was
to be very short six weens as some saw
and great good was to bo done for tho peo
ple. " Those who make the most promises
tell the most lies," is a maxim of tho coon
party. Let us Coolly and accurately calcu
late the relief administered to the much be
lo 1 paople. Instead of six weeks, tho ses
si on lasted 103 days.
1. A new Judicial Circuit was1
created, not because the inte
rest of the people required it,
but because an office-hunting
lawyer wanted a seat on the
bench. This created one new

Thus the peoplo have been relieved by
the little addition of SIXTY-FOUR THOU
SAND THREE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-ONE
DOLLARS to the expense
of the government.
13. In the above we have not included an
increased compensation to the Secretary of j
Slate, of some tour Hundred dollars, ana
some three hundrod added to the salary of
the Secretary in the Executive office, and
also to the Clerk of the Treasurer of State
three hundred dollars, and to the Clerks in
the office of tho Auditor of State, four hun
dred dollars. (
But let justice be done though the Hea
vens fall. Let this coon Legislature have
credit for tho great retrenchments they have
made, and the offices they have abolished.
Yes! wonderful to tell! The enormous per
diem ofthe poor little messenger boy of the
Senate was reduced from one dollar to fifty
cents a day!! But this is not all. The re
lief of the people did not stop here. The
office of overseer of the poor (an office with
out r.omnensationl was abolished! And for
all this the coon majority is certainly enti
tled to tho credit and the thanks due from
the people ofthe State! Ohio Statesman.

. Destructive Tire.
On monday night, between 9 and 10 o
clock, our town was made the scene of ano
ther destructive conflagration. I lie alarm
was given about half past 9, and the fire dis
covered in the hay-lolt ot air. Jotin Wiier's
extensive stabling in a few minutes the
whole was enveloped in one sheet of flame
It being Court week, quite a number of
horses were in the stable, but fortunately
they were all safoly gotten out. The conti
guity of the stabling to the two west wings
of Mr. Wiier's Hotel, placed, we may say,
tho main part of tho town in the most imi-
nent peril, for had they not been saved, the
town must have boen wrapt in flames by
an almost super-human effort of a. few indi
viduals on those .wings, and exposed to an
intense heat almost insupportable, the fire
was conquered, altho' it had made several
yards progress on the roof, and all the win
dows in flame.
Tho dwelling house of Mr. Hugh McFall,
adjoining Mr. Wiier's, was also in tho great
est peril, and was saved by extending over
tho roof wot carpets and blankets, llis
stablinir was also consumed with a large
quantity of wheat, oafs, cloversned, and other
articles stored there. It is said there was
about 500 bushels of wheat in the ware-room
of tho stable a considerable portion of this
and tho cloversned was saved. His dwelling
and store room were completely sacked, nncl
his beautiful garden now nressnts a scene of
desolation.
Mr. Wilcr had also a great quantity of
hay, corn and oats consumed and all tho
furniture of hi a extensive Hotel being re
moved, he must have sustained considerable
loss, by the breaking of furniture, &c.
On tho north the stabling ot Mr. Campbell
and Mr. J. II. Weagly wero burnt to the
ground, together with a quantity of wheat,
oats, and other produce and tho fire was
fortunately arrested at Mr. Mcliridc's stable,
by tearing a portion away.
When it is considered that JuAINSr IH.L1U
IS WITHOUT A FIRE ENGINE OR
OTHER APPARATUS, that all this com
bustible matter was ranging on the same lot?
with a block of framo and brick buildings,
and every thing dry as tinder, from a drouth
of several weeks, we may indeed look with
amazement upon our escapn from one ot the
most terrible of conflagrations.. We have,
however, indomitable spirits here in cases of
emergency, and helping nanus tnat tire not.
But wo are wanting in language, to express
our admiration of the efficient efforts of the
Ladies of Mansfield Of their willingness to
undergo tho severest fatigue and exposure
in such cases of peril, we had occasion to
speak on a former occasion. With such spi
rits and such aid, what might we not effect
with a well organized fire company a good
Engine and other necessary apparatus? We
hope this will bo attended to, that we may
be better prepared in future.
There is littlo doubt but this has been the
work of nn incendiary, for no man has imposed
more rigid caro as to light in his stabling
than Mr. Wilei and we are informed by
those who know, that the stable had been
carefully closed for some time before the fire
was discovered, and that no light had been
taken to that part of the stable, that evening.
It behooves citizens,' therefore, to keep a
look out tho demon, or demons, that can
thus sport with life and property, through a
spirit of revenge, or desire for an opportuni
ty to pick pockets, or appropriate to himself
what he can lay hands upon, may, it not dis
covered, seek other opportunities. We have
reason to congratulato ourselves that the
evening was perfectly calm; Tor had the fire
broken out soma days ago, no human power
could have saved the town.
New Orleans, April 12.
Mexican Items. D. Crescencia Chico
Sein, a distinguished citizen of Mexico, and
tho warm advocate of liberal opinions, died
on the 21st ult.
D. Sebastian Cnmacho has been appointed
Minister of tho Supreme Court of Justice.
In announcing to the Mexican Congress
ihe passage of the measure of Annexation,
Senor Cncvas took occasion to express the
views ofthe administration of Gen. Herrora.
He said that tho Government would at once
address an energetic protest to all friendly
nations, as well as to the United Estates,
against Annexation; that diplomatic relations
with this country would thereupon terminate
He said the Government felt itself strong
enough for the emergency, without the grant
of additional powers, and trusted that, instead
of a grievous calamity, Annexation might
really prove a blessing to Mexico, by uniting
all her people in a determined effort to main
tain their rich's and n-eserve the integrity
nf the territory of the Republic. Tho Pre
sidents of the two Chambers responded in
much the same strain. Picayune.
The whole press of Mexico are extremely
pugnacious, as was to have been expected
especially in view of the encouragement,
which their warlike propensities have recei
ved from this country. El Monitor Consti
tucionol, a journal commenced immediately
after the last revolution, in support ot tne
existing Government, indulges in a philippic,
particularly violent. It is sadly at a loss to
know, how " a miserable majority of two
votes," in the Senate, should be allowed to
nlunge the nation in war with so rcdoutable
a country as Mexico. Nothing, it declares,
can prevent hostilities; and it accordingly
exhorts all Mexicans to die together, rather
than suffer degradation and loss of honor
says tho Monitor: ;
" The moment could not be more fortunate
the Government having settled her diffi
culties with France and England with pru
dence and harmony, has nothing to absoid
her attention but this one point. Texas will
be. from day to day, more and more our only
and exclusive thought. Texas is the anxious
object of every good Mexicani Texas,
indeed, we all demand with one voice and
one thought. IfulleMn.
Direct Taxation.
The following remarks of the New York
Evening Minor, upon Ihe subject of direct
taxation, are as novel as they are unexpected
from that quarter. Wo have long been aware
that the process of raising tho ordinary
revenue ofthe Government by indirect taxa
tion keeps the peoplo ignorant of the amount
they pay, and renders them lass watchful of
the expenditures of tho Government than
they might otherwise be, but, to hear a good
Whig'discourse upon tho merits of direct tax
ation, because it would render tho people
more attentive and watchful of their agents in
making appropriations, and in the general
management of their rulers, is not a little
surprising, mis expression ot respect tor
tho people ts not tho less gratifying because
it is unexpected. It is certainly Democratic
doctrine. And whether direct taxation is
the best modo of collecting revenue or not,
we arc certainly inclined to keep tha whole
workings of our uovornment, at all times,
open to the inspection of the people. We
should be glad to hear the Mirror nt length
upon this subjoct. It might not only exhibit
to us tho exact sum which cadi man in the
community contributes to the support of the
Government, but it might also show how
much each one contributes by this insidious
plan to tho protection and support of the
manufacturers. Constitution.
"Direct Taxation. In our article on
the Budget of Sir Robert Peel, we took oc
casion to declare our belief that tho true
principles of taxation for the British empire
was the income tax. Wo preceive by the
subsequent debates, that this principle finds
warm support in Parliament. Dr. Bowring,
one of tho most intelligent members of the
liberal portion of that body, avows his deci-
ed perterence tor this mode ot taxation,
and he is by no means alono in this senti
ment. It is certain that the present improved
condition in the revenue and general condi
tion of Britain commenced with the imposi
tion of the income tax, by which various
others were lightened.
Among the numerous unsound theories of
Alison s work this we think one of the worst
that indirect taxation is the only one lit
for raising the ordinary revenue of govern
ment. The great advantage of this mode is
that it keeps the people more blind to the
proceedings and expenditures ofthe Govern
ment, and thus removes tho most powerful
check upon its evil tendencies. The best
practical correction of wastefulness and of
dangerous enterprises on the part of the Go
vernment is found in an immediate and un
mistakeable reference to each man's pocket.
1 here never was a contrivance better adapt
ed to conceal from the peoplo the extrava
gance and mismanagement of their rulers
than the system of juduect taxation, by
means of which few are aware ofthe amount
of the burdens imposed upon them."
Advertising.
The course pursued by manv business
men and mechanics in regard to advertising,
who have goods and wares to sell, and who
expect to live by their business and trades,
reminds us of a remark we once heard an
individual make in relation to tavern-keeping.
He was speaking of the crowd and bustle
about a well patronized Hotel, and declared
that if he " ever had to make his living by
keeping tavern he would go off to the Grand
Prairie or some such place, where ho would
not be annoyed by a constant crowd." Just
so with theso business men to whom we have
referred. They appear to. be afraid of at
tracting a crowd about them. If they let it
be known that they have such and such ar
ticles some body will come to buy them! Is
this not the reason why thoy arc so bashful
about letting tho public know what thoy are
at, what they have to sell, and where they
keep it' We can account for their exces
sive modest yin no other way. Piqua ought
to be able to supply the country around it
with almost every article needed, and it pro
bably ts. But this fact the public are not
made aware of. Wo have merchants who
have capital enough to keep as extensive, as
well assorted, and as cheap Goods as are
kept any placo in the Western country, and
we have Mechanics capable of manufactu
ring almost every description of work of the
very best kind. Why then not " Let their
ights shine?" If they have such things as
the public needs, and wish to dispose them,
let the public knowjtho fact. We have no
doubt but thousands of Dollars go tot Dayton
and Cincinnati every year, to purchase arti
cles that could be procured here as good
and cheap ns at those places. There is no
good reason' why peoplo north of Piqua
should go any farther south to purchase any
thing in ordinary use. If those interested
would advertise, as they should, ninety-
nine dollars of every hundred now taken be
low, from a district of country 20 miles in
extent .hast and West of us, and 40 or 50
North, would be expended here. A News
paper is a fertile soil for business men to
plant in. Dimes planted in it seldom fail to
produce a crop of Dollars. Remember this!
We speak of this matter, not because we
would bo benefitted by it, (although we have
an eye to that string, too,) but because both
our town and the surrounding country would
reap advantages from it. Let those who
would advance the growth and prosperity of
both reflect upon what wo have said. Piqua

Affairs in Ion a. "
The St. Louis Reporter of the 20th says'
that great excitement prevails in the Hall
Breed tract in Iowa. The settlers met last
Saturday to retake certain rails and other
property carried off by a claimant under the
decroe in favor of tho New York Company.
They were dispersed by the sheriff, but they
agreed to meet again to-day, at V o'clock, a.,
M., under arms, to take forcible possession
of the removed nronertv. and thev threaten
ed to burn the house of Mr. Reed, ono of
the proprietors of the company. The sher
iff had ordered out an armed posse of 600
men to prevent any disturbance. The ex-'
citement was so great on Saturday night, as
to cause it to be feared that a bloody affray
may happen at tho mealing to bo held to
day. ". ; ' ,
I Ins Sac and Fox Half Breed Reserva
tion contains about 119,090 acres of land,
and lies immediately between the lunction -
of the Mississippi and Dcs Moines rivers. .
The whole of tho c6untry is considered, in j
beauty and fertility, superior to any1 hi Iowa,
lis local advantages in regard to navigation
and hydraulic privileges are very great. To
Keokuk which is located in the tract, at tho
foot of tho Lower Rapids of tho Mississippi;
there is a free water communication from
St. Louis and the lower country at nearly
all seasons of the year; whilst above tho
Rapids, navigation can be continued seldom
more that five or six months of the year.
The Rapids, which are about 12 miles long,
and have great full, running the wholo length.
along the eastern part ot the tract, allord an
incalculable amount of water power. Keo
kuk is a brisk place of business, and is fast
growing in population and commercial im
portance.
The number of settlers on the tract is at
present about 4000. The excitement which
exists among them, grows out of the unset
tled nature of the title to their land. Thero
are a number at least three distinct and an
tngonistical claims to said lands, held mostly
by merchants and land speculators abroad.
Suits have' been commenced on two of
those litles, to quiet them. The settlers
wish to buy, but- insist that the different
claimants shall first demonstrate which is the.
good title. In the mean time,- some of
those claimants, by their agents, instead of
waiting to let tho law determine who are
tho real owners, have on ' several occasions ,
imprudently ondeavored, by covert or for-,
cible means, to get possession of the land,
which has caused the excitement heretofore
existing.
I sat, Farmer, Did you know those chick
ens of yours were to lie taxed; that pig, that
bushel of wheat, that plough, wagon, or any
thing you have, that aids you to obtain a
subsistence, is to be valued by the assessor;
and to be taxed proportionably.

ed to pay a tax on. your book accounts, your -
worthless debts, your stock on the shelves,
and in fact every article of trade.

Are you perfectly willing to pay the bank
er's tax. You will bo obliged to do it, if
you should bo fortunate enough to amass
money. Every nolo you possess, of capital,
must go into the assessor's hands and be taxed
as your capital and taxed too id the whole
amount; while the banker only pays on his
6100,000 of basis, leaving the tax on his
$300,000 of circulation, out of which he is
making quadruple interest, to be footed by
the people at large.'
