A State Convention is about to be held to form a State Constitution. It seems that Ihe VVhig and Democratie pnrties are disposed to make party nominations, and are seeking io secure the help of the Liberty party. The Editor of the Freeman answers the proposals very expücitly. We wish our friends in Npw York had shown . equal decisión. The Freeman says : "We say then, flatlv and roundly, porpendicularly, and horizontnlly, that we are, totally nnd with all our might, opposed to avy union with the whig and (so called) democratie parties. We are opposed to any such union, hcre or ihe're, now or hereafter, for this purpose, in this crisis or a future crisis, or any soit nf a crisis. We are opposed to it locally and generally, in the aggregate and in the detail." This is the true doctrine. I f the Liberty party deserve support at all, it should receive it in all situations, and under all circumstances.(tWe have received some specimen numbersof the ''Youths Monthly Visitor," published at Circinnati, at 25 ets. a year, by Mrs. M. L. Ba ley. We are much pleased with those numberswe have read, and hove no hesitation in recommending ït as worth much more than its cost to every family of young persons. The articles are calculated to please, inform and instruct.ftAn oíd personal frend,well known through all the Free States as a tried Liberty man, vvrites from Western New York: "I have read with interest your circular, and ogree in the main with its propositions. There ís a large class of Abolitionists in this State, and many olher States, who take similar views, and who feel as you do on this subject. Some dread a discussion of the question, but I have no fear of that sort. I go for a just. and righteous civil government that shall regard man as a man, "for a' that and a' that," and that shalí gradúate all its legislation and all its acts on that basis. I wouldhave the Liberty party embrace and advócale this comprehensive principie, and take in all the legitímate objects of civil government." QjrThe total estimated valuation of taxable property in the Stale of Ohio, as presented in the tax bilí, is $455,000,000, of which $250,000,000 are m lands, other than town lots, and $75,000,000 in real estáte in towns. CCThe Temperance men of Marshall are taking vigorous measures to suppress the illegal traffic in ntoxicating liquors. They have raised a fund of $600 to be expended, if necessary, in prosecutions, and appointed a comniitlee of twenty five to enforce the law against all future offenders. QHaving learned that among our distant subscribers there is a very general desire to see the Railroad law, we have concluded to publish it, although we are considerably pressed for -room. We commence it to day.
