PETITION THE HOUSE OF COM-
MONS AGAINST THE ENSLAVING INCOME
TAX.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sia,—Allow me space in your Journal to point out to all
meetinvs taking place on the subject of that tax, worthy only,
of a nation of cowards and slaves—the iniquitous Income Tax—
that it is now of the utmost consequence to petition the House
of Commons against it, because Mr. Duncombe, and other
Liberal Members, intend to present every such petition, and
to divide the House on the question that it be received.
The inalienable Right of Petition is at stake ! Let us,
therefore, supply Liberal Members with weapons—that is with
petitions—to fight withal the great battle fur ita present asser-
tion and future inviolability. I am, Sir, yours, &c.
