Many reports are in circulation of an intended re peal of the Assessed Taxes, the deficiency of which is to be replaced by an Income or Property Tax. We trust that the necessary funds might be supplied with out resorting to an Income Tax, which is inquisitorial in its operation, and oppreisive in its nature. Against a Tax on Real Property the same objections do not lie ; and we conceive it not only the most just, but he best means of taxation, since it affects no persons but those who are able to bear it, and affects them only in proportion to their ability. • A Tax on Property should not come so low as to affect those who have barely sufficient for their sup port, nor should the rate of taxation be the same... , The possessor of property to the amount of £lOO,OOO or £200,000 a year, could better afford to pay ten or fifteen per cent. than one of a hundred a year could give up two-and-a-half: from the one it takes that " which not enriches him," since he has more than he can use, while it takes that from the other" which make' him poor indeed." hulked there is no way, except by means of a Property Tax, by which men of wealth can con tribute due share towards the public burdens; and it is not too much to say, that there must be sonde evil in that legislation which leaves to one man a million of money without paying a shilling of Taxes, while another may have his bed taken from under his wife and children to satisfy the demands of the tax-gatherer; and yet such is the case. How many persons are there possessing princely fortunes in the Funds, who keep no establishment , and do not pay one, shilling in direct Taxes; and it is the direct Taxation which is the most oppressive,: and the repeal of which alone can give efficient re lief; the repeal of the Leather Duty, the Malt Duty, and all those indirect Taxes, •is scarcely felt by the consumer—the difference goes into other hands, and . we have neither shoes nor beer cheaper in conse quence; but repeal the House and Window Duties, or any direct Taxes, and the benefit will be imme diately felt ; indeed, we have always considered these Taxes as operating in some degree against them selves, and as abridging in a very marked degree the comforts of society. It is contended by the Editor of a respectable Morning Paper, that the whole of the Assessed Taxes may be repealed with safety and advantage to the Empire, without any substitute whatever. Whether this may be the case or not, the experiment is•wolth trying ; but it still does not affect our argument as to the justice of a Tax on real Property; and we contend that "the poor peasant or mechanic should not pay one farthing out of his scanty earnings, either in direct or indirect taxation, while there are so many Millions of property in the hands of a few individuals, which does not contribute one shilling towards the expenses of the State. We copy the following re marks, on the repeal of the Assessed Taxes, from the Morning Chronick: We trust, at a moment' wi►ee so large a class would be re lieved by a repeal of these taxes, it win not be unacceptable to our Reader that we should express' an anxious hope that some Member, on the meeting of Parliament, will make an effort to carry such an important measure. It will be readily admitted that the intense of the Public Creditor should be faithfully and ' punctually paid, but we cannot agree that the People (particit ,laril at t period when the incomes of most are so materially diminished) should be taxed to the extent aloe millions (over . end above the amount necessary to pay the dividends and aroma V gotonilp for the Mere purpose of keepir: up a Fund (called $ - I.n gitr ts • 44. . , w h i clr has cost the country many millions, and - Lis • i ltifo rmat ion reduced one shilling of debt.

'a NOW suppose this Sinitinrrind done away, five millions of these obnoxious tares might be repealed front this source alone; awe Jul/lion snore from the reduction in the collection of the Reve nue, and one million also frogs further reduction (this year) on the Army, Navy, Ordnance, and Miscellaneous Estimates.
