Displaying large fun of money, in

prels this opinion in the mott Deceive
language.
The duties on tan1ps for the year
t8oo,Produced the nett fun of 400, 85q
dollars q cents, and according to the
Ultimate Of the Secretary of the Treafury
will produce from the irft of January
1902, to the fourth Of March, 1904,
a6c, 900 dollars. (See Gallatin's report
TO the prelent Congrefs.) The act Of
Congreis, palfed on the I4th of July
1898, for laying and collecting direct
tax Of two millions, fixed the proportion
of Virginia at 3Ag, 488 dollars 90 cents;
that Is TO fay, rather more than one
Gxth Of the whole tax. Nov if the
people II Virginia paid the fame pro
portion ofthe ftamp tax, though it is by
no means afferted that they did, they
paid for ftamPs, executive of the charges
for collection, which are perhaps 20 per
cent. rather more than 54,74z dollars
il the year 1900; of this fun it is i'm
pOlUble to aicertain what the merchants
paid but it could have been hardly lels
than four fifrhs. # this conjecture flor
1t is nothing more) is near the truth,

unluit, and if proportional, eyrannical.
The means Of fixing the proportion
would have been iniupportable in a free
country, + Can the Government of
Virginia,at this enlightened period, have
recourle to tax which was avoided
forty years ago, on the ground of iniul-
tllce and oPpreliion by the Monarchy Of
Great Britain
After the vafr accumulation of the
national debt, occaGoned by the Anne.
rlcan war, TIE attempt to revive the
ihop TAX as it was called, was made bv
Mr.. PITT, and fucceeded. Bur lays the
Historian, + for this tax which was fin
gnlarly obnoxious, the fhop keepers re-
ceived a recompenie at the expence Of
triendlefs and unprotected defcription
ofmen, by a mealure inhuman and utter
ly indefeniible. I
Can the Legislature Of Virginia at this
period Of tranquility, after eventeen
years of peaces and after the payment or
transfer, to the Union of our debts,
continue a tax, which ieemed to be one
of the lait re1ources of a people appa-
rently finklng, under the enormous bur
thens with which monarchy and war have
long threatened TO overwhelm them
IN another point view, the law feenas
highly exCePrionable. In fres country,
every man, fhould be at liberty to purs
iue, that courie of life, which he deems
belt iulred, TO his talents, his induftry, or
his finances. This idea is recognized, if
not plainly expreGed, in the hrh fiction
of our bill Of rights. The law therefore
which prohibits particulat cla(s Of men
from purifying the means of gaining
nlaintc nance tor thein(cIves and their
families, until they have paid for the
privilege, is neither jut in itlelf, nor
congenial with the fpirit Of the conftiru-
ton, nor confident with the enlarged and
liberal principles Of the pretend. dav.
THE preceding obfervationS, from
caufes, which it is not neccGary 30 men
rion, are probably deficient both in per
lpicuity and force; bur the purpofe Of the
writer will be anfwered, ifthey Gerve to
turn the attention Of the Legislature TO a
fubjetts which merits, and no doubt viii
receive their ferrous confederation. The
retulr is anticipated with fou,e coafide~
nee, The Legislature of Virginia, if
their character is nvt greatly nifconceiv-
ed by the writer, will not perleyere in
error, on the contrary, it is believed
that they will without heftation avail
themfelves Of the opportunity which now
prelents itfelfs of nlanifeiting their love
Of jufice, and.their reipe6t for the con
ftitution Of the United States, Of proving
TO the people of America, that in their

The delays in the administration Of
juaice, and the exemption ofland5 from
the payment Of debts, are 1uppoled,
like the pfeient tax to be more inpri-
Gus TO the lmall trader, than to the rich
merchant, and luch is the fa6t. The na-
tives do not generally fucceed in trade,
as well as rheir foreign rivals, who either
rich, orbacked by rich foreign connec-
slons, are better able 70 bear the delays

prove abortive, and could not fucCeed,
though aided by an inqmlision in trade.
fcarcely lefs derchable, than an inqultiti-
on in matters ofreligion. t But although
merchants do not pay, and never can
be made 20 pay, in the ratio OF their
income, yet it may be faid with truth,
that they bear their full lhare of the
public burthens. I hey actually advance
70 the general government nearly ten
millions year, and though this money,
except where bad debts are made, is
finally returned, the prei1ure of Cuitom
houie bonds, from their amount, from
their perpetual recurrence, and Gill more
from the nfcsgfy OF payment az the day,
is always ieniibly, and tometimes, le-
ycrely, felt.
The merchants Of this country NOT
only advance, for duties to government,
nine tenths Of the money received at
the Trealury of the United States, for
the payment of which great iacrihces
are frequently made, bur contribute
very comfortable fun, in coniequence
of the itarnp law, which operates on
them with peculiar force 4
When in addition 10 this, it is remark
ed that merchants pay, on their vilible
and taxable property, the fame raxes,
which are paid by others, furely it mutt
be admitted, thar they will not fand on
better ground, than, the other clai1es of
fociety, even after they iha!l be diichar-
ged from the requiGtion, which for four
years they have borne, without uttering
a murmur, that government could hear.
The jutticc of rhis obiervation will ap-
pear, by an appeal to actual experience.
The indu(trious farmer or planter in
Virginia, has never failed to acquire
wealth, and in The midit of his labour,
has enjoyed the bleiIing, the ineftirna-
nable bletiing OF independence, On
the ether hand, the active merchant is
devoted TO perpetual toll, to ceafelets
anxiety, 70 great and hun1iliatihg vici-
iiirudes, and often TO bankruptcy, and
irtemediable ruin.
The foregoing realcning has always
had great influence in countries where
any attention is paid 20 the intereits or
convenience of the people Even in
Great Britain, involved in wars and OPP
pfeaed with debt as fllc has been, tax
ike the prefent has never been impoied
until very late datc. About the year
1852, the attempt was made. B peri
Cd OF war was felected for the purpofe,
and it was urged, that as the war was IN
dertaken, III defence of the trade OF the
country, the merchants who pfofted by
it, ought to contribute to its fupport;
but the project was abandoned, by 60

CALENDER q SENATOR Mason.

CALLENoER g SENATOR Mason.
By this mornings mail, it has been
-onl nunicated to US by very goo3 aafhorl-
ty, THAT Callender left Philadelphia, in the
year !7o8, and went TO the dwelling Of
geoerai Stevens Thompfon Mafon, one OF
rhe f.nators for Virginia, far the 9UpJs
If zvriting the (" Profpect before U.s.;
that rhe Ist vol. of that work was actual
" prepared at Mafon's, and that the ma
nltoript was examined and ab3roved Of ~
bin, Calender went next to Richmond
for the purpoie Of printing this book, under
the patronage of ,he fame general Malon.
We confder, fays our correspondent,
Mafoa a thouland times slore cnlpable
than Calender in faf he was the chief
actor in this deteltable drama. The above
paragraph is inler;ed for the express pur-
pole of being extraaed into fome Virgi-
MIA paper, that it may meet the eye of Mr..
Mafon, and if it is not contradi6ed in a
ihort time we fhall pselume it to be true,
and lhall afterwards make fuch ufe Of Il as
we think ht.
Calender having fummoned Mafon as
well as Giles to the trial and their having
failed to attend, has an "azyfulJquintiag.'
Let them look to it. In the language Of
Old Prolpero,
The charm diflolves apace.
Nsqv 1'ark En-. Pea.
ExfraR from fbs Recorder eftbs 25tb inf.
/" A great part of the frA and fecond
volumes of the Project were hnilhed for
the prels, in the form in which they now
ttand, under tie Immediate INFECTION OF
General Mafon. A large proportion of
the materials for the ref of the work was
borrowed from his copious collection of all
kinds of documents.
g By the bye general Mafon did not
find il convenient TO attend, when he was
fummoned as a witnefs upon the Rich.
mond trial. His ablence was regretted.
He wrote Calender polite apology. He
was prevented as it Teens from appearing
by bad health, weather, and by 6gfAsls.
He did not explain by what ailmsnt he
had been 70 unfealonably overtaken. The
badneis of the weather did not obRruet
the immediate return TO Richmond of the
deputy marlhal and it is not, at once,
receivable that the roads, which were
opsn to one per(on, ihould have been IN
.ccellible to another. The general did
Tot explain by what kind of bgfns(s ne
vas prevented from appearing in the te-
ieral court, and from enforcing the after
tons which Calender had made IN his
name, and by his express au'hoilty.-
The attendance of general Malon was re-
CURED by that federal contribution which
| he has taken an oath to fupport, and which
like many eminent Republican characters,
he profefedly and irrevocably deiplies.
70 repeat this truth does not amount to
