Mr. WA/n:I4AM said, the subject to.which he was now going to call their attention was one of such im portanca, that if it were to require any particular ex ertion of abilities to induce the Court to Agree to the proposition which he should have the honour of stk., (slitting to them, he would have regretted tint the task had fallen to his share. But rho Property 'fax was held in such general odium throughout all parts. of the country, its oppressive natore was so well un deestood, that oo great powers of pers;;asio would be necessary to induce the Court to Accedo to join !tint in opposing it. l'here was one particular cir-, cumstance fur Thiel; be took some credit. This, nbnitsions Tax hid been continued fur 16 years, and . he tfus, he believed, the first individual in the king- , Jotq, out of Parliament, wtio bad raised his Voice against it. He ht.! brought forward a proposition, which was unanimously agreed to by the Court. lf this Tax was so obnoxious that the Court, at that tit* alluded to, when so many of its Mettbers were friendly to the . Adminiitration, declared their abhor. , rence of it—if such w'as the case when it was said it was impossible to go on without a resource cl :his ; kind during war—alter exper:nocing all its inconve-, niencies, and se.ing the ezreAt to which it had a' iength been carried, what could be urged at the pre-' bent moment, after the restoration of peace, why the promise of the Administration, that should not be coatinued after the conclusion of the war, should notl be kept to the country 1 If at the time when this; Was was first proposed the coerutry had been tcld it was to continue for 15 or le years—that the inciaisi— Wri ‘l powers were to be iticre:zted as they had . been, —and the, instead of the &der:dent men who at I first were appointed Commissioners, .he most arrant creatures of Government ...ere o be appointed. it would not have been endured one moment, though, the Minister of that day had employed all his weig!rt and influence in its favour.
