The House OF Representatives adjourned yestcr-
day, after refusing by MAJORITY of three votes to
concur in that part Of the Report of the Committee
of Ways aud Means which goes to lay tax on inn
ported Salt II givesu us r;in to say, that much diff
ference of opinion prevails in the House the sub
jsct now before them. War of the question, We
should have been much opposed to taxes amy
one; but when measures have been resorted TO,
and expenses incurred, cannot see how those,
who have been their warinest advocates can recon-
siie with consistency refusal TO provide the Ways
aud Nj ans for carrying them into effect. We eau
not therefore, conoea snrprze and regret at ha-
Wing principal feature of STEM the result
OF the closest investigation and maturest reflection,
rciected-rcected almost before its bearing was con-
siScrcj The argument of unequal operation will
apply as well to any other tax to this, and will, il
suffered TO predominant, certainly deiea, every
tax proposed by the financial committees.
The most favorable view which ca, be taken of
this subject is that the inisposition the
cessary results frop, the adsble determination
TO make them contemporary with the war, to have
no existence till it is commenced, and to cease when
il is concluded. 1t perhaps from this cause
bined with the fear ofs alarming the people, by the
rumor of taxes, that so many are opposed to the
discussion and adoption Of the proposed system.--
Taxes, it is said, are not paatabe to the people
They caniet be less SO, reply, than war-ana a-
wing determined the greater question by authorship
the creation of vast militaryfo shall shrink
FROM the comparatively unimportant question of tax

we believe, much less afraid of taxation than thei,
Representatives, and will meet with cheer.uilncs
the cost of war undertaken for the support of their
national rights; cost for which their pockets art
not to he taxed until war shall actually commence
Let us, however, hope for the best, and trust tc
the patriotism and wisdom OF the Representative
ct the People TO substitute for the rejected item
