the privilege Of an inhabitant Of the state.
to bring into it any slave whom he may
acquire in any other state by descent, by

In preparing the foregoing estimates,
your eommittee have proceeded with
great deliberation, yet knowing from the
intricaey Of the subjects to which their
attention has been called, their liability
to err, they earnestly invite the observa-
ton Of every member of this house to
eachitem of their report.

correct, and that none Of the expenses
enumerated can be avoided with propri-
ETY.; believing that every government
should apportion its revenue to its nee
cessary expenditures; and that whe n the
latter exceed the former, ruin must ulti-

porous situation Of their fellow.citizens,
at peace with all the great nations OF the
world, subjected to no unusual requisk
tons to support the measures Of the fs-
deral government, receiving for the va
rious productions of the sarth, the fair
est prices, and calculating too upon that
pasriotism which has always induced the
people of Virginia on the one hand to
oppose with every constitutional energy
oppressive measures, and on the other
to submit cheerfuIly to new burthens,
where new burthens were requisite:
Your committee cannot conclude their
report without recommending to the
house, that the taxes should be increas-
ed ~ LIZ per cent. Such an increase of
the revenue Of the Commonwealth will
be Commensurate to the excess Of our
expenditures.
