ton to their circumstances, there would
now have beena much greater sum in the
Treasury, to be laid out for the benefit of
each member of the community but as
the case now is, am compelled to pay
more than Just proportion OF Taxes, to
be laidout, as much for the advantage Of
the rich, as my own, while I receive of
them, no reciprocal advantage in return.
When taxes are again to be imposed,
will the administration consider this, and
exempt me from Taxes in time to come,
as they have heretofore exempted the
rich! hope for no such thing. The
aRme spirit which arranged this unjust in
equality in the Public Taxes is too likely
to increase the burthen and aggravate the
injustice Of which I complain.-They
have then taken away my right; shall I
suffer them to take away my understand
ing too. and be made dnPe or fool!
l. It of any advantage to me that the rich
are relieved from taxes, that the poor have
to bear the burthen of the Government!
The poor man that rejeices in the present
administration IS certainly bewitehed.-
Twill not relinquish the independence Of
mytmind, will not be duped by al the
wi3zarls Of deception. Another Sessi-
on of Congress is passed, and no relief
has been given to the poor. Taking the
Taxes off the rich has only increased their
burtheh.s By what means did the Min
istry obtain money to pay between and
6 millions of dollars OF the public debt !!
First-By the sale Of Bank Stock, which
was public propery-This was sold
greatly under value. Secondly the
sale Of ships belonging to the United
States, which we need now to preserve
the existence Of the Government-these
too were sold undervalue. Third-The
product of the sales Of public Lands.
fourth-The unsolicited Tax on
Stills, Stamp Paper, Direct Tax, &c.
These SOURCES of Revenue are now des-
troyed and their product is nearly ex-
hausted. The prodigal enters upon the
rich estate of his ancestors, and riots for
awhile without appearing to be poor; At
last he begins to be in want, and his mise
ry and poverty appears. Gentlemen Of
the administration! You win soon have to

find that my enemies are busily employed

for allowing two thousand seven hundred
dollars to the public printer, when more

unwarrantable and illiberal charge may
have made. s@s.~1. = = - W.
