The fubferiber will not enter into the reflexions
which mult naturally occur to every one upon look
ing over the foregoing state. It might be thought
wrong, because unnecessary. He will therefore on
ly observe,
That it cannot be supposed the wisdom of the
Legislature would have enabled the requisite provi
sions for the punctual collection of these taxes, if
they had not intended they should be carried into
effect—
That it would be a blameable partiality against
those who pay, if the means which are directed by
the authority of the state were not put in practice
againit those who do not—-
I hat when the exigencies of the government so
preflingly require money for the relief of the pub
lick creditors, civil and military, they have a right
to expert the utmost exertions of all concerned,
both from a principle of duty and obedience to the
laws, and motives of regard to the general wel
fare—
That the fubferiber is well aware he ihould in
cur the censure of every thinking person, did he not
forward the execution of this act, as far as depends
on him, by instituting suits against the several col
le&ors of the counties which are in arrear for the
above tax. Wm. C. HOUSTON, Re
ceiver of continental taxes in N. J.
