THE FUTUEE COURSE OF THE DEMO
" " - CRACY.' '
While no feeling of despondency characterize!
the ton of the Ohio Press in consequence of our
late defot, iti differeutrnomberi are most wisely
endeavoring to ascertain the cause, with view
lo avoid a like consequence hereafter., It appears
ko be the general conviction that to the want of
unity of principle and harmony, existing among
tot,our late defeat is mainly attributable. Admit
ting this to be the prominent cause it will fail to be
remedied by any truce suppressing and sacrificing
any of the great principles for which w are con
tending. Harmony established upon such a found
ation would be hollow, delusive and unprofitable!
without the vigor of health it would only produce
diseased and inefficient action, and paye our way
to hopeless and deserved minority. '
At the Convention on the 8ih of January next
the issues of the next compaign will probably be
'decided. The only d'rect suggestion in reference
to that decision which we nave perceived it the
following from the Cincinnati Enquirer:
"We are opposed to chartering banks oi Circula
tion, and especially, when their circulation, is
based upon Stocki and real estate. But we do not
believe the evil can be roached by ordinary legis
lation. The axe should be laid at the root of the
'-tree, and we submit whether it should, or should
'not, be done by calling a convention of the people,
to alter the Constitution, so as to prohibit all such
Institutions. This, it seems to us, is the only
practical means of reaching the evil, and the only
Victual remedy.
"Louisiana haa excluded banks of circulation,
by her new Constitution ; and so has Texas.
Missouri and Mississippi will soon follow in their
footsteps, and Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, and all the
West and Southwest, may reasonably be expect
ed not to lag far behind.
Where the Constitution of a State sanctions
banks of circulation, or in fact does not absolutely
prohibit them, and where their existence is made
the test of parties, and parties are nearly balanced,
the work of a subsoque ut Legislature v ill very
likely be the building up, or pulling doun, the
work of Its predecessor, as often as the outi be-
come the ins,"
So far as we have quoted we like the proposition,
which is not new to our readers, who have hereto
fore seen it advocated In the Venture when under
,t. chiure of our predecessor. But the En quirer
adds as a part of bis proposition the surrender of
the ouestion of the repeal of the Banks created
under Kelly's Law. For the issue of Constitu
tional Reform we are fully prepared, but we are
by no means prepared to acquiesce in the existence
of the oresent Banking system. We must endure
it perforce until tbe public intelligence decides for
its removal, but we will never cease to urge its
reneal. nor concede for one moment its rightful
existence. We feel satisfied that had the broad
question of Bank or no bank been substituted for
tbe visionary moonshine of bank reform, Ohio
would before this have taken her place in the
front rank of Democratic States, instead of being
now under the guidance of an unprincipled whig
oligarchy.
Throughout the State, wherever the question of
bank or specie currency has been boldly pre
ented to thefteople, they have upheld a sound cur
... with a natriotic devotion which leaves
not a doubt of our ultimate victory if to them
'are fu'lv eonfided the great truths to which we desire
success. We cannot fear the result, as it is only
in the pursuit of little aims and a time serving
nolicv that defeat is disgraceful. With noble
objects nnd manly efforts for the real liberty of
the people, no falsehood or ignorance can long
deprive us of their hearty co-operation.
W cannot conclude this subject better than
by adopting tho well-judged remarks of thc.N. Y
NeW,: THE OHIO DEMOCRACY.
The Democracy of Ohio have met with n
decisive, but not very disastrous defeat.
They have failed lo gain the Legislature,
both branches ol winch were last year nrmiy
Whig, and will now only be more strongly
80. They Inst year were unable to carry the
popular vote for " Polk and Dallas," and they
are now only equally, unfortunate. But we
see nothing in the returns before us lo the
contrary, and. tborclore, believe mat tne uc
mocracy of Ohio are at this day as powerful
as they were one year since, we nave said
that the Democracy of Ohio ate as powerful
now as thev were one year since, we should
have said moro powerful. And such is the
facf. They are more powerful, because they
know their true strength because the
achenvjs and numbers of treacherous men have
been exposed because the late battle has
been fought on principle and because such
battle has driven from their ranks many
who were Democrats from interested motives,
and who do not relish the stern virtue of the
Ohio Democracy. ..
The battle has been lost , by the treache
rous and underhanded management of the
.nnRrvatives. Excepting 111 one or two
counties in which this rotten class of polifi
cians carried their owu nominations, they
have evidently been against the Democratic
candidates. Especially has such been tne
case m every county containing a consiaera
ble town. In every such place there was a
little knot of men who were with us but not
Of us and in such places we lose ground.
And in some close counties the whole JJe
mocratic ticket is elected, wilh the excep
tion of members ol the Legislature. I hese
circumstances tell the story the conserva
tives not liking the radical sentiments of the
Democracy; were very naturally against us.
If thev were our own people we should find
no fault with them . for so doing, if they could
-agree to leave us forever.
Wa sav to our Ohio friends; be firm: ad-
here to your principles with the tenacacity of
life. In the dust ot dcteai win you ua iun
,fied in your minority will you sow the seeds
of victory. Listen not to the wiles of Con
servatism: tamper not with emissaries. Let
rTow wise men, your sound men, and-your
fruo men? conn8e, logether ( Ux ,hem ptfl.
pare the issues for your future contests, upon
the firm and broad base of everlasting truth
of principle. Do this, resolutely qnd
firmly, and you will succeed; but yield to
the suggestions of the Conservatives and you
will be a party withdut principle victors
without life.
That excellent representative of found Demo
cracy In Shelby, the Democratic Spark, qudtes
the above with the following remarks:
" Let those who have stood firm in the
righteous cause of republicanism, persevere.
Turn neither to the right nor to the left, but
redouble your zeal in advancing tho glorious
principles of equal rights and equal privi
leges, and the pigmy influence of your oppo
nents will, ere long, be made to disappear be
fore your giant and overpowering strength,
like the morning mist before the noon-day
sun. Tho late partial triumph of tbe feder
alists, contains no ingredients sufficiently nau
seous to sour the feelings ot dampen the
spirits of the true and determined democracy
of Ohio. Though we have been beaten, by
distractions in our own ranks, yet we are not
conquered ; and our shameful defeat, this fall,
will only serve to awaken us from that lethar
gy and security of strength, in which we have
too long indulged, and cause us to make our
true strength known and felt in all future
contests."
5- We learn that our papers for Gilboa are not
delivered to subscribers but once in one or two
months, and Mr. Sutton states that they do not
arrive there. As they are regularly mailed at this
office, we have requested the Postmaster here to
institute inquiry where they aro suppressed.
There is culpable neglect or dishonesty some
where, which is inflicting upon us serious injury
if it is generally practiced. We do not believe
that any of the Postmastors on the route would
bo guilty of the meanness of thus violating their
trust; but of the fact we are assured,and we cannot
be equally certain about their underlings.
Capital Punishment. Time, and cases like
the following, will, it Is to be hoped, at length
convince our law makers that the hangman and
the gallows would be better dispensed with. The
humane spirit of modern legislation confines itself
to the protection of society and the reform of the
criminal; but ihe law of retaliation Upon which our
piesent system of capital punishments is founded
bolongs to ages when man was little studied or
understood, add merely cuts off the offending
member, affirming that it Can neither henceforth
reform or restrain him. As to the moral influenco
of executions such a cas othis 6f Df. Baker's,
where there is a reasonable doubt whether society
if not wreaking the vengeance i f the law upon a
man incapable of guiding his own actions will do
away with all the good effect of the punishment
and weaken confidence in the law, while it adds
force to the conviction held by a very large pro
portion of the people, that spectacles of strangling
tend to promote rather than restrain the crime
against which they are directed!.
We take the following statement Of facts from
the Western Journal of Medicine, for October.
. Dr. Abner Baker, a reputable physician, of
the most respectable family and connexious,
killed his brother-in-law, Daniel Bates, a high
ly esteemed citizen of Clay county, in this
State, about a year ago, and alter an exa
mination before the usual tribunal in such
cases was discharged on the grounds of
lunacy. He spent the winter m Havana,
and while absent the Grand Jury found
verdict against him of murder. On his return
in the spring his friends, gave him up; he
was tried at the special term of the Circuit
Court, of Clay couniy, in June last, and
found guilty. The plea of monomania was
sot up iu his defence and the testimony to
that effect of several physicians, among whom
was the late Professor Richardson, was clear
and decided. The Governor of the Com
monwealth has been petitioned lo pardon on
that ground, but has refused to grant tbe
prayer. We are assured that nine out of
twelve of the jury are among the petitioners,
and that they express a full conviction that
Baker is a monomaniac. As fur as we are
informed, every physician who has hcatd or
read the testimony in Ihe case is of the same
opinion. At the request of a brothet of Dr.
Baker we examined, some weeks ago, a
transcript of the evidence, and from what
was submitted to us we did not entertain a
single. doubt as to his insanity. The same
record was read by several of our medical
friends who concurred fully with us iu this
opinion, and the result was that we express
ed to the Governor our beliet that the unlcfr
tunate man was a fitter subject for the mad
houso than the gibbet. We do not know
how nearly this sentiment is universal among
the medical men who have investigated the
case, nor are we going to say how far the
opinions of such witnesses ought to prevail
with the Executive; but we suppose there is
no arrogance in Saying, that, as to a question
of insanity, no men in the community are as
competent judges as physicians. We do hope
that tho governor will, at least,- sun turther
extend the respite which he has granted,
and that all doubt of the lunacy of tffe pri
soner will be removed from the public mind
if indeed he is not insane, before he is made
to pav this dread ponalty. The moral effect
of his execution while such a doubt hangs
over the case, we are thoroughly persuaded,
would be most injurious. v , ;
Execution of Dr. Baker. We have just
conversed wilh a gentleman, a friend of Dr.
Baker's family who was present on the 3d
instant, at Dr. Baker's execution. Twelve
o'clock was the hour appointed for the exe
cution; but JJr. I5aker requestett to ne
brought out of jail at ten, .that he might have
an opportunity of addressing the people.
His request was complied with, and he spoke
an hour and a half. In his speech he pro
tested that he was not, and never had been,
crazy; repeated, in the strongest language,
all bis accusations against his wife, and point
ed to two of her highly respectable relatives
than present, who, ha said, had criminal inter-
course, with her After finishing his remarks,
although it was but half-past eleven o'clock,
ho asked to be hung immediately. 1 Do
sheriff proclaimed that all who desired it
might approach and shake hands with him;
. . . i .i. i i
but none attempted to avail ineinaeives oi
tho privilege, except two females of bad
character, whom Dr. Baker motioned away,
saving that it was just such a female as them
selves who had brought him to the condition
he was thon in. '
Wo understand that the friends ,of Dr.
Baker intend to devote the reward offered by
the govemdr and by the executors of Daniel
Bates, for the apprehension of said l)r: Baker,
lo the publication of the trial of B iker, in
cluding all the evidence &c, and that they
will give the amount of the reward ($1,000)
to the lunatic" asylum at Lexington. Louis

!i. " New Cotjnty of Auglaize." The Li
ma Reporter has quite a lengthy article in its
last number about this p'foject. Wo do not
think it necessary to enter upon a discussion
of (he subject, as it will scarcely go further
than a presentation of petitions. 1 he advo
cates of this measure have failed to give the
necessary legal notice in this county, and
this they have done to save a few shillings
the legal due of ihe publisher. On finding
that the only pay for their advertisements, for
several years, had been unfulfilled promises
we demanded payment in advance, and stat
ed what wo supposed the amount would be.
Their agent did not require its publication of
us, without wo would accept the sum first
named, which, on putting the article in type,
proving less than our legal due, wo of course
declined. This is a small matter, and our
only wonder is, if they have been as nig
gardljr to their wordy champion of tho Ito
porter why he has given so lengthy an evi
dence of disinterestedness. He is certainly
entitled to a corner lot in Wapaukonetta,
whenever it shall becoitlo the new county
site. This trifling acknowledgment of his
valuable services will, we hope, be duly
tendered.
For the Kalida Venture
TO THE PUBLIC.
ii lias been Asserted in different townships
of the county, with a view to my injury, that
I hava lmuoht tax titles which I do not de
ny and also that I have wilched" persons
when they came into Kalida to redeem
their lands and have slipped into the Trea
surers office and paid the tax for the purpose
of receiving the pe'tialiy on them ; which last
statement I pronounce a wilful) malicious,
and infamous falsehood, and such I am ready
to prove it by Ihe Treasurer's receipts given
at the time. Besides by the Auditor's books
the tact will appear, ibat no tax title was
redeemed by the owner for some two weeks
after I had paid my taxes, and that only one
or two instances occur of redemption in so
short a time. It is well kntfvvn that August
15th is the lawful time for the payment of
taxes; in 1843 I made my first payment
on Tax Lands, on tho 9th of Sep
tember for 1844 my payments were made
on the second o? September, and for the pre
sent year I have made flo payment. Th'esc
two occasions named comprizo all the pay
ments I have ever made. It is true that I
have purchased tax titles,-but in doing so I
have not exceeded fair dealing, nor ever
taken any undue advantage; and this is well
known to those who have been engaged in
misrepresenting me.1 "
As before slated, that I have purchased
Tax Titles I do not deny, but in making
purchases, it has always been m'y object to
t void bidding upon any lands belonging to
citizens of Putnam county. I have, it is true
in a few instances, purchased the laffds" of
citizens of the couniy in consequence or the
lands not standing on the Tax Duplicate In
tho real owners' names; and also, at the
time not being generally acquainted in the
couniy.
This disclaimer would not at this tune
be obtruded On the public, but that I have
heard that these injurious statements have
been' made against hie by men who from
their position" ordinarily command credit.

Kalida, Nov. 11, 1845.
A Goon Gurrenoy. We learn frbm an in
dividual,- in whose veracity and means of in
formation we have the utmost cohdence , that
the Wooatcr Bank is paying out at its coun
ter, the depreciated paper of tho Allenfown
(Pa.) Bank, instead of its own. This is the
way our Ulno Banks turmsh a good cttrren-
cr, is ill wo have seen it stated tnai mo
Bank of Dayton, Ohio, had made an exchange
with one of tho branches of the State Bank
of Indiana the Ohio bank to pay out the In
diana paper, and the Indiana bank to pay out
tho Ohio paper. Will the people tolerate
suCh frauds? We were told that we wanted
banksor the express purpose of expelling the
worthless paptr of the foreign banks, and
well are those swindling shops snswering the
ends for which they obtained their great priv
ileges. It will be recollected that th"G Woos
ter concern paid out a large amount of the
paper of the bank of Steubenville, just before
that currency factory exploded. But in spite
of all, it obtained a re charter with greater
power for evil than it possessed before.

Postmasters. We aro desired to call the
attention ofpostmas'ters'to regulation No. 549,
which provides for the convenient transmis
sion of money from subscribers to editors of
newspapers. It is the duty ol postmnstersio
receive the money from a subscriber, and give
him a receipt for it. It is Ihe duty of the post
master receiving tho money to give notice to
the postmaster who has it to pny, of the am
ount received, and for what editor, and mark
the letter "official buis:iiess,'r and sign his
name to it. The postmaster receiving tho
notification will pay the receipt when pteseu
tcd. The subscriber who gets the receipt,
may send it by mail or otherwise to the editor.
The new law prohibits postmasters from en
closing and franking money to editors. The
reasons of the rule is obvious': A large pro
portion of the money heretofore lost in being
transmitted thro.ugh the mails, is money scut
to editors and iranked by postmasters, ihe
frank of a postmaster upon the letter addres
sed to an editor; is notice to everybody who
handles the letter that it contains money. I his
ml)!, when understood, insures the payment
of the moiley, without discount to editors, and
avoids depredations upon the post office;

The Climax. At the conclusion of the
American Revolution, Dr. Franklin, the Eng
lish Ambassador, and the French Minister
Vergennes, dinning together at Versailles, a
toast from each was called for and agreed to.
The British minister began with " George
3d, who, like the sun in its meridian, spreads
a lustre throughout and enlightens the world."
Tho French Minister followed with "Tho
illustrious Louis' lGth, who, like the noon,
sheds its benignant rays on and influences'
the globe." Our American Franklin then
gave " George Washington, commander of
the American army, who, like Joshua ot old,
commanded the snn and moon to stand still,
and they obeyed him."
Mr. Cowen tells the people that the banks
paid $74,000 taxes lo the state, some years
ago, and then they dwindled down to $14,
000. Why does he not inform the people
of the losses sustained by the Utbana, (Van
ce's) bank, Gallipolis, Scioto, Canton, Gran
ville, Lancaster, Miami Exporting, and a
dozen of others, which swindled the people
out of $2,000,000? And Mr. Cowen claims
that nil this arises from a high state of civili
zation. Wonderful statesman? Thus we
are sought, that the people may receive $74,-
000 into their state treasury, provided they
grant the privilege of being robbed to the
amount of many millions of dollars! St.

A Fracas on the Miami Canal. About
day light on Monday last, says the Atlas of
yesterday, there was a regular fight between
the hands of the Canal Packet boat Banner,
and the freight boat Empire, at Miamisi
burgh. The Banner claimed the first en
trance into the lock, which it is said she was
entitled to under the statute of the State,
which gives packet boals the preference, if
within two hundred yards ot treight boats.
The hands of the Empire (five in number)
stripped for a fight, and the Captain brought
out a gun; when the Uaptain and two hands
of the Banner met them, and gave the whole
five a seveie whipping.
Warrants were taken out against the men
of the Banner, at Miamisburgh, before a Jus
lice of the Peace, and they were fined forty
dollars for an assault and battery, which .they
paid, and left the same morning. 'OAto Union;

It is now a matter of certainty that the
course of the President and of the secretary
of the Treasury, in regard to the Tariff, will
be such as will give entire satisfaction of the
advocates of free trade; Their recommenda
tions will go to tho full extent of the proposi
tions laid down by Mr.McDuffie in his late let
ter. The minimum principle and the specif
ic duties are doomed to utler extinction. The
message of the President nnd Sscretary's An
nual Report will settle this matter, so far as
they and their influence are concerned. The
question is, what will Congress dot ihe
Democratic Party have a majority ot sixty in
the House, and six in the Senate large en
ough for all practicable purposes. If we con
sider how difficult it was to get the Tariff of
1842 through Congress, notwithstanding the
exhausted condition of the Treasury and the
low state of public credit, Which' seemed to
demand it, it may n6t b;a .thought very
strange that an early opportunity should be
taken to revise it. It is well known that the
Tariff Act could not have passed, but for the
imminent danger in which the government
was believed to stand lor want ot necessary
supplies. ,Many belioved that no law exist
ed for the collecton of duties; after the expi
ration .of the compromise act.1 It wa a matter
of necessity to pass the bill in the form which
it finally assumed, for therq was no time to
perfect it. That the act was not modified at
subsequent sessions, was owing only to two
reasons, viz: a willingness that the principle
and policy should be adequately tested, and
an aversion to legislation on tho subject while
tlfs country was on the eve of a Presidential
election o reason how exists! for further
delay. I antperfectiy confident from all that
I have observed, that the Democratic party, as
a party aided by some of the southern whigs,
wilt unite in a very thorough and essential
mod i heat ion and reduction ot tbe present
Tariff. The interests which are protected by
the Tariff, ought not to seek now for per
manent and natural system. Compelion,un

ruin very effectually, while, tinder a modified
system, they might enjoy permanent auvau
