Rkistajci to th Tax Law. We
opy the following proceedings of a
meeting in Cincinnati, from the Enqui
Kr of Sunday morning. - We believs th
eitiseus of Gallia eonnty have lived up
to the very letter of the Taw, as eon-
etrued by the Auditor of State, although
tmjust and burdensome:
LAW AND ORDER.
Voice of the Merchant!, Manufacturers, Bu-
uhm roes, and tu payers generally, of Cin
cinnati, on the tuWct of the Tax Law, a
construed by the State Auditor. Besoi op
tions unanimously adopted by two public
aueeungs, very largely auenoea.
Resolved, That while we are desirous
of avoiding aa appearance of faction
opposition to any executive officer, we
cannot refrain from expressing uur opin
ion, that the Andt'tor of State in issuing
bis instructions to the County Auditors,
bow they are to proceed in listing per
sonal property lor taxation, baa trans
cended the powers of bis office, inas
much as be bas assumed the duties and
prerogatives of the Legislature of the
State, in declaring certain provisions of
ine xaz law ot 1852. null and void,
and has filled the void thus declared
to exists hi' accordance with his own
lews.
Metotved, lhat we recognize no au
- fbority but that vested in the Legisla
ture, under the Constitution of the
State, to enact or annul laws; and that
although the Supreme Court bas inci
dentally questioned the constitutionality
of the tenth section of the Tax Law of
1852, that section stands upon the Stat
ute Book unrepealed and intact. There-
lore
- Eetolved, That we wlH not make such
a return of personal property belonging
vj out uusiness as is aemanaea dv we
Auditor oi estate, Decause tbe require
ment is in contradiction to the Statute.
Resolved, That we will make out and
tender to the Assessor, a return in ac
cordance with tbe law, and in case an
attempt is made to collect taxes upon
an amount greater than we have return
ed, we will refuse to pay the same, and
seek such redress as may be open to
us.
Eetolved, That a copy of the acts of
this meeting be sent to tbe chambers of
Commerce of the several cities of the
State, and to Merchants and Manufac
turers where no Chambers of Cora
merce exist, with a view to uniformity
of procedure on the part of the whole
Mercantile and Manufacturing commu
nity of the State of Ohio.
Retolved, That we hereby agree to
stand by each other on all necessary oc
casions, to resist unjust exaction, and in
ease of distraint by the officers of tbe
law, we bind ourselves not to purchase
any property which may be so distrained
and offered for sale, and to repudiate
as unworthy of our association and con'
fidence all who do so.
Eetolved, That the resolutions adop
ted by this meeting be engrossed and
signed by the officers thereof, and forth
with circulated by ward committees for
the signature and formal pledge of tax
payers throughout the city.
ROBERT HOSEA, Chairman.
ROBERT HOSEA, Chairman. JOHN D. CALDWEIL, Secretary.
.To this is attached nine hundred and
Seventy-four signatures, in addition to
as many mofe that were publishrd a few
days previous, pledging themselves to
stand by each other and to conform to
the resolutions, and carry out fully the
measures thus recommended. 4
The follwing preamble and resoultions
were unanimously adopted at a meeting
of the citizens of Sycamore Township,
in Hamilton county:
. Inasroacb as the Assessor of Syca
more Township bas taken a position in
favor of the law, instead of obeying the
tyrannical instruction of the Auditor of
State, and which is sought to be enforced
.oy our Uounty Auditor, therefore,
Resolved, That we, tbe tax-payers of
said lownship, agree to sustain our As
sessor in any emergency which may
grow out of his obedmce to the law.
Eetolved, That we approve and adopt
as our sentiments the resolutions passed
at the meeting at the Merchants' Ex
change, in Cincinnati, May 17th, 1854
BiAcnrcL Botch-work. Legisla
ture Solont, will some of you please to
look into the following mirror drawn by
the Chillicotbe Metropolis? You'll 'see
yourselves as others see you:'
A friend has directed our attention to
most singular and amusing mistake
made oy our wise legislators in fram
ing the late Liquor Law, which renders
the enactment almost entirely inopera
tive, practically. Section first declares
it to be unlawful to sell liquor to be
drank on the premises. Section second
declares it to be unlawful to sell to a
minor. Section third forbids selling to
intoxicated persons or habitual drunk
ards. Section eighth fixes the penalty
lor tbe violation of the law in these
words: - 'For every violation of the pro
visions of the first, second and third
sections of this act, every person so of
fending shall forfeit and pay,' Jtc. In
consequence of the use of the conjunc
tion 'and' instead of 'or.' it is necessa
ry, the offender shall have violated all
three of tbe sections before be can be
punished at all! ......

Arrest of a Fcoitive Slave Ex
cttzmikt in Bostow. A fugitive 6lave
named Burns was arrested in Boston,
Mass., on f riday last, and confined in
the court house. An attempt was made
to rescue him, in which a special officer
of the U. S. Marshal named James
Bachelder, was shot dead. On Satur
day morning Burns was taken before
the (Jommissioners hand-cuffed for ex
amination, when great excitement en'
sued. Military companies were called
out which prevented an open revolt at
that time. The Mayor issued a special
bulletin calling on the citizens to pre
serve the peace. Tbe examination was
continued until Monday.
A dispatch from Boston of tbe 29th
states the subject still agitates the pub
lic mind. Printed notices were left in
tbe pulpit of every church on Sunday,
requesting prayer for the escape of
Burns. The abolitionists were very ac
tive in getting up secret meetings. One
hundred revolvers were sold by dealers
Saturday. A mob or 1000 persons
were in the vicinity of the court house
day Sunday. The doors leading to
the room where Burns was confined
were occupied bv troops. A third des
patch from Boston says:
Burns was taken into Court this
morning without iron. None were ad
mitted into Court without a piss from
the Marshall. The immense crowd
outside was very quiet. No further ri
ot anticipated. If a rescue is attemp
ted, it will be a bloody affair.

To the Editors of the United States.
GxsTLXMi: If I felt less confidence
io the justice aad magnanimity of the
American people, I would not now hr
trude myself upon your, notice. My
position is one .which may well be con
sidered peculiar in tbe United States,
where the laws have hitherto been re
spected, and where the verdict of a jury
has been regarded aa final in all criminal
eases. Acquitted, though still accused;
free, though still persecuted. I must ap
peal, through tbe columns of the Delta,
to your generosity, and beg a suspen
sion of opinion until the evidence in my
ease can be bud before yon.
I can blame no man for feeling strong
prejudice against me, or for expressing
tbe loudest condemnations oi vnai un
fortunate deed, which has been so dark
ly and ingeniously exaggerated by my
enemies. The public have as yet seen
but one side of this case, and that one
has been most unscrupulously misrepre
sented by those eager for my blood and
ruin. I have been acquitted by a jury
of my peers, and' in most cases this
would be vindication enough, and even
in my case, perverted as it has been,
my' acquittal should at least argue a
presumption of my innocence, strong
enough to induce the most hostile to
pause till they can examine the testimo
ny produced at my trial. This is all I
desire, and surely it is not much for a
man to ask who has uncomplainingly
submitted to as much as I have done.
A full and impartial report of the tes
timony in the case has been prepared
by Mr. A. D. Richardson, one of the
most accomplished shorthand writers
in the West, and will soon be issued
from the press of Messrs. D. Appleton
& Co.. New York. Although I felt
the highest confidence in Mr. Richard
son's ability and impartiality, yet when
I remembered the former course of my
enemies, tbe precaution-was taken to
have the report authenticated by sever
al "gentlemen, whose positions place
them above even the soaring accusations
of the Courier.
All that I ask from you, gentlemen of
tbe press, is silence until this report can
be 'placed before the public, and if you
do not then discover some better reason
for my acquittal than the corruption of
the jury, lam willing to submit to your
universal condemnation. I have made
no previous attempt to resist tbe designs
of my enemies not, as they would
fasely insinuate because I bad no de
fense to make, but because I relied with
confidence on the iust administration of
the laws of my country. I break that
silence now, which the better judgement
of friends formerly imposed upon me,
only because my persecutors seem to
have lost all respect for law, and have
constituted themselves a higher tribu
nal, to reverse the dscision of a jury
regularly empanneled by the proper au
thorities of the State.
Once more I appeal to the generosi
ty of the press of this country, and
conjure every editor, in the name of
justice and humanity, to read the report
of my trial weigh well the testimony
on both sides and then declare to the
world whether I have not the right to
say that injustice black injustice has
been done me. And if many are con
vinced by the testimony that my per
secutors have not been sustained in the
case which they mode out against me, I
have too much confidence in the mag
nanimity of American editors to doubt
that they will confess that they have
misled, and will expose the unjustifia
ble means used to deceive them, and to
injure me. Be just! be generous, gen
tlemen of the press. Read this report
and consider closely its contents.
1 he Louisville Courier bas, 1 believe,
proposed to publish my trial in pamph
let form, but the gentleman who was
employed by this paper is not a steno
grapher, ana toe report com a not oe

and satisfactory in all the details of

not, I know, make an unfair report for
any consideration; but, from past ex
perience. I should apprehend that some
iberties might be taken with his notes
before they see the light. I make this
suggestion for his sake as well as my
own. It is a fact worth nothing, too.
that whilst Mr. Cole was preparing this
report for the Louisville Courier, he
wrote letters to his paper, the Cincin
nati Gazette, in which he expressed an
opinion that I would be acquitted, which
was based on the evidence in the case.

GREAT SALE OF LOTS IN THE
T0W OF ASHLAND. KY.
rpjjE Kentucky Iron; coal and Manu-
L factoring Company will make their
first sale of town lots in the tewn of Ash
land, on WEDNESDAY, the 14th day
of June, next. ' .
. Ashland is located in Greenup coun
ty, Kentucky, immediately on the Ohio
River, at the point where tbe Lexing
ton and Big Sandy Railroad, first strikes
the valley of the Ohio, about five miles
below the mouth of Big Sandy River.
The location is one of peculiar beauty.
and admirably adapted to tbe building
up of a fine city. The river front is ful
ly three miles, and the width nearly a
mile. Natural terraces entirely above
the highest known floods, nearly eqoel
distant and parralle with the river, run
through the whole bottom, rising in gen
tle succession above each other, and
serve as natural avenues which produce
panorama of striking beauty. A
finer landing for steamers of the larg
est class, at any stage of water, cannot
be found on the Ohio River.
Under a corps of competent engin
eers, Ashland has been laid out. wun
reference to all the wants of a large
city; with wide streets, and extensive
parks.squares for market places, schools.
churches, etc., and in fact with every
advantage which considerations of util
ity or taste would suggest.
One great purpose of the Company
is to aid and assist in building up Ash
land into a large manufacturing town,
and to make it the seat and centre of
trade, which its eentrel position with re
gard to the great Iron and Coal region
of Kentucky and Ohio should and must
eventually command. The Company
already own about two thosand acres of
real estate, one half of- which is river
bottom, and the other consisting of Coal
and Iron lands of the best quality, out
of which they have resoved to make
the most liberal donations both of sites
and coal to respectable companies de
sirous of engaging in manufacturing.
There are two seems of bituminous coal
of superior quality, about 4 feet in
thickness each, so that great elements
of manufacturing can be furnished at
this point at the very cheapest rate,
which, together with being in the cen
tre of the Pig Iron market, induces
the Company to believe that, at no
point can the manufacture of Iron in
its various departments be more success
fully prosecuted.
In the space of an ordinary advertise
ment, all of the advantages of the po
sition of Ashlarid, as a great manufac
turing and commercial point cannot be
fully set forth, and the company are
therefore constrained at present to in
vite personal inspection, satisfied that
the strictest examination will only re
dound to their great advantage.
In all sales of lots and donations of
real estate the company have resolved
upon the incorporation of provisions in
the conveyances against the sale of
spirituous or intoxicating liquors,
The terms of 'sale will be, one third
cash in hand and the balance in two
equal payments at one and two years,
bftarino- interest from the dav of sale.
A lithooranh of the town as laid out
may be seen at the office of the com-
pany in Ashland, and at tbe principle
river points.
