EVASION OF STAMP DUTIES.—F
jury to individuals, b ratulson the revenue, and in-
y publishing .unstatuped newspapers, were
carried to a very great height in Glasgow, till the officers of the
exchequer interfered, and the delinquents being convicted, and
unable to pay the penalties incurred, were incarcerated. As
neither their personal liberty nor their purse can be att.eted by
anything they now do, these smugglers coniider themselves
sate in venting, against those to whom they bear enmity, that
qht;se which would bring heavy punishment against any indi-
vidual out of gaol,'and- out of debt, who should venture to in-
, dulge-it. This is a most unnatural state of society, that punish-
ment for offences should exempt the offenders ftom all ob-
servances of the law, and prostrate the characters
of the most
respectable. before the most unworthy. These, remarks have
been called fortlrby.observing placards in the streets denouncing
one of ouecontempoiaries, who, like his brethren in the trade,
stood forward to defend his own property, by calling !for the.'.
protection of the law .against those who invaded it, We think
it impossible that the public can for a moment consider as a
martyr toJiberly a person. who endeavours to obtain it liveli-
hood by, evading those dnties which others honestly pay; or
that they Will ever think of joining in a base attempt to run I
down a respectable individual, who has done no more in pro-
tecting his property than what every honest inttepid luau would
do under*milar circumstances. We deem ourselves' bound iu
justice to: giaptib !Mich in. support of the Free Pres.", while we
certainly are under no obligations personally to that paper on
the score of courtesy.—Glasyou• Herald.
