TD THE ADITOR of TN& Mt&

I

Sir—The public npinicn will ever be of confequence
in a country not deprived of its liberties; and there
is perhaps no fuser criterion by which we may afcer-
lain the degree of freedom enjoyed by a people, than
the attention paid to this opinion by the Government ;
which,if pi tident,will ende.rvour to arnform not only to
their intereit, but even to their prrjudices,when the ge•
neral welfare is not endangered by compliance—it it on
.this principle that projects. pethaps wifely contrived,
and at firit adhered to with &mutt's, have been aban-
doned in acquiefcence with the general fentiment,when
clearly and unequivocally expreffed ; for the oppofi-
lion of a few interefted or nrifguided men, however
sink.= and clamorous, and though maintained to be
in conformity with the univerfalientiment, will have
no weight or influence with the public., or with the
Government. I was led to thefe reflections by an._Ad-
vertifement In revere' ()like Papers, appointing a Meet-
ing at the LondonTavern,ot the Merchants, bankers,
Traders, &c. er,bo ./Osppreve of the Income Tax, for
the purpofe of applying to the Legiflature to prevent
its being paired into a Law—Tire objea of thoft who
have called this meeting mutt be the prevention of the
Income Tax ; but I cannot avoid thinking that their
plan isFolecalculated for the attainment of thasobjea.
What effect can- be produced by a meeting, at which
all are excluded who arc not of the fame opinion ; at
which all difcuaion, all inveftigation into the merits
of the tneafure are precluded; at which the fituation
of the country, the exigences of affairs, the nature of
the conteft in which we are engaged, the importance
of the objects at flake, the neceffity for the facrifices
we are called on to make ; in fhort, perhaps not one
of the eireumliances, which ought to influence the
coafideraticrn of the queltion, may even be noticed ?
Such meeting will thew that fo many as attended
it dirapproved the Tax ' • but will it prove that they
would not have ebjeaed to any other meafurc by
which they were rode to contribute to the defence of
the country ? or will it afford any tell of the general
fentiment ? But it will perhaps be contended that the
country has already declared its difapprobation of
the Tax on Income, and therefore that no difeuffion
is requifite. I anfwer, that, admitting the former
Income Tax to have been unpopular, it by no means
follows that the prefent will be Co. The former Tax
• was impofed for the support of a war never fanaioned
by the approbation of the people, who in general con.
littered it as entered into againft every principle of
found policy—maintained -by the moll lavish and
profufe expenditure; directed to objects never clearly
defined and perpetually varying, and conducted fo
as to defeat even thofe objects. Under fuch circum-
glances it would have been furprifing, that a Tax,
fo extenfive in its operations, Ihould be fubmitted to
without reluctance. How different is the national
fentiment at prefent—engaged in a conteft to which
we have been compelled by the continued encroach-
ments and refuels ambition of an ufurping defpot,
whole infatiable tuft of power and dominion could
rot be bounded by whole nations already enflaved—
n
conteft entered into, not merely in fuppott of our
honour and deareit interests, but for our eziflence,
as an independent nation.' Can any facrilice be deemed
too great in defence of filch objects? I beg leave,
therefore,to recommend the advertifers of the above-
*mentioned meeting previonfly to tuggeß to the Go-
Iverenment tome better mode of raifing the necefary
ffitpplies ; or, at lean, that the meeting may be for
the confideration of the Mimriety of an application to
the Legiftatnre, in ethic), cafe every Man interetted
Will'be at liberty to attend it, and the refult may then
be deemed an evidence of the public fentiment; with-
out which it tannot be intilled to attention either from
the Government or the Country. • patron.
