Ms1rs. Hudson and GDolzri1,
IN note to an Grafton pubiiGled by
me in July Taft, it is ailcrted that Citizen
Pichon, the commercial agent of Buona
parte, fnce his reGdence in the United
States, has iGucd propofals for pub:.ihing
Godwin's Political Jnfice. In letter
addrefed by M. Pichon to MIR. Madifon,
Secretary of State, he declares that fince
his refdehce in this country, he has had
no participation in fuch propofals. wrote
that note, III confequence Of having fire.
quently feen this fact declared in newfra-
pers, and never having fcen it contraditted.
In the New York Gazette of June 9th,
1901, is the following paragraph. /" In
the city of Wilmington, propofals have
been publifhed for friking off an edition
of Godwin's works. The byo1aozer oftbn
7oork is Citizen Pichon. In this the pub
lie will preceiye the commencement of
mother fyfematic effort to fnbvert the
Chriftian religion, and to difufe more
widely, the demoralizing and anti-iocial
principles of republican France" IF
had the other fou,hern papers at command,
Ipresume the fame, or fmilar paragraph
might be found in many of them. l gave
it the fame degree Of credit, that is ufual
ly given to literary intelligence, contain
ed in the commongazettes of the country.
Perhaps Mr.. Pichon would not have been
70 anxious TO contradict il at this late peri

the tax, and to me ii appears TO be lilo
gal, unnecefary, arbitrary and oppref.;ve.
i'iegal, becauic it's smother conformabie
to the laws Of Virginia or MARYLAND.
ard one or the other ought TO fnrojih rbs
rule. IT the rule is furniihed by tie laws
OF Maryland, which, is my epin;op then
by 'he'e 40 authority is given TO levy a
poor tax, bur from year to year, for the
expenses OF each year or II the laws Of
Virginia are fuppofcd to furnifh the rule
then ,heie do not authorize an aR,Gmen,
OF real property and per centape upon
the amount thereof, for this purpoie.
UnneoeRary, becaufe by the laws Of
Congreis, certain fines and forfeitures in
the County OF Alexandria are PAYABLE RI
the Board OF Commifioners to defrav the
County expences; and from this tund
am credibly informed there is alre.dy ,
fum in the hands Of the Martial and I,
fPettor of Flour, exceeding one thoplnd
dollars, which, mott probably, will be
It'll greater at the end of the year. Here
tofore lels than two thoufand doIlsr. b..
been found efficient for the yearly CHARGES
OF the poor in the Town, and as 70 1he
other part of the County, carcely any
ium is required on this account. The
new tax is calculated to raiie 1900 dol
lars, and as 1000 dellars in addition 70
the fines and forfeitu.es already in ,he
hands OF the Martial and Flour infpeaor
make greater fun than has been expended
Iii any one year, to my knowledge, /, is
manifeitly unnecenary to Iaife four thou
land dollars for this object during the
Preiens year.
Arbitrary, becaufe it proceeds from the
Will and plea{ure of the Board Of Com
,nliiloners, being neither agreeable to the
Jaws OF Congress, or of Virginia, or Of
Maryland, and is founded on an aGenmens
PaiPabiy unequal and unjuR. Infances
OF TINS inequality need not TO be recited
Oppreitlve: becaufe ii is exaeted n ad.
dItion 90 the ufuai taxes, and upon a new
allotment comfortably exceeding any for
iner valuation of the fame property, and
eya1ted at time when one fourth or ore
third OF the fun would certainly have been
en9ugh 'or the freient year, according TO
the belt judgment have been able to form
opon the fubjett.
The retult of thefe obfervations is that
you are not bound by law to pay the tax,
and it the tax gatherer proceeds in the
collection, it will be at his peril.
