One item in the bill of economy which
the democrats are frequently holding up TO
view, is the repeal OF the internal taxes.
Already we have 70 fully difplayed the
impoIicy of that meafure, that very little
remains 10 be added here. Yet LEI us re-
peat that, with the exception Of a very
few articles, there never was, or ever
will be, a more ju& and equitable GE
TEN of AVIATION than that which they
have 70 wantonly and unwilely abo
lifted. Its weight was almoft wholly

coaches, though they may be rich, are
not infenfible to avarice, and in Virginia

Here let it be added, that as often a.
the democratic agents vent their vile ard
faife calumnies upon the federal admin
ttra,ions, which this country and all tbs
civilized world know have RATED Ameri-
ca to dignity, honor and PROPERTY, &
often will a regard to truth compel US to
declare that there are no meaiures OF the
