Among the various and complicated evils bro't
upon this country by rash and unnecessary war,
that of jeopardizing the Fisheries is one.
Previous ito the war, many vessels principally
belonging to this State, were proitably employed
In taking fish in the bay of Fundy, and on the
shores of Nova Scotia and the Labrador; and what
ever principles this right is founded upon thing
is certain; there would now have been no question
about it, if the country had not have been wanton-
ly plunged into war by Mr. Madison aud his parti-
zans. Notwithstanding the President and all his
sycophants pronounced the Treaty to be so very
t" HoNoRABLEo and that it g secured all The points
for rhsct The acdr was dectared," every impartial
man must have that from its total silence upon
every important subject embraced i'm former Trea-
ties, wide field was left open for dispute and al
tercation, which might lead to the most serious
consequences. How the question respecting the
shore and bay fishery on the Rfstish coast will be
settled, is impossible for US to say but the diff
Guilty which has taken place, is not unexpected for
it will be seen by looking to the communication
made to Congress, in October last, of the despatch
es fromNour Commissioners at Ghent, that in the
protocol OF conference of the 9th OF August, the
British Commissioners stated to the II. S. Commis-
sioners the intention of their government as to the
North American fisheries, viz That The British
goreriment did NOT intend TO grant the e. STATES grG-
tnitousty, the pririleges formerly granted By treaty
to them gfstfng ,citSn he British sovereignty, and
Of using The shores Of the British territories for pltr-
poses connected aoih the fisher es."
Notwithstanding this, the treaty of Ghent is
silent on the the subject. Still we hope such an
arrangement will take place as will secure to
our hardy and industrious Fishermen toe full en-
joyment of all their just rights, which have long
been the sport Of policy as wicked as il has been
ruinous.

must take out licence and give bond, with
xosufeties for payment of a tax of from
a'e ioelgLt per cent. on all articles manu-
nluFet, Il above two or three dollars in
'alue, andin some cases there is not even en-
EXCEPTION cf this kind. This is another OF
s oesslngs.of the war for" free trade and
na0fs rights" and there is yet in store
''ne others Of the same description. Con-
tsss'n doubt, thought one such list of
eaesqulr sufficient for one month and there,
Is wisely determined TO postpone the

Frederick Town Herald.
Portland gazette and Maine advertiser., 1815-04-24

There appears TO be little inconsistency in Mr.
Madison's Furniture Tax, as well much folly.
There is contradiction in the law which rem
ders it nulity if all parts Of the act are consider
ed of equal force. Afte declaring that furniture
amounting to certain sum shall Pay tax, the law
exenpts from taxation such property as is either
specially or permanently exempted by the state
law. BY the Tax Act Of this Commonwealth ,furni-
ture of all kinds is particularly mentioned as ex-
empt from taxation.
See the extracts from the Us. and Massachii-
setts laws, in this paper, this subject. But sup
posing the 4. 5. law imposing tax on furniture is
strictly consistent, (gny thing in the law of this
state exempting furniture from taxation notwith-
standing.) il Is one Of the most absurd useless, and
than useless projects ever rezored to- for the
purpose of raising revenue it is in fact double
tax. The money obtained from the Furniture Tax
will pay one half of the epenee of assessing and
collecting.
In the seaports the tax may possibly defray the
expences of collection, but in nearly all the country
towns there is scarcely person liable to pay it;
yet all the farce Of notifying making out lists, e0-
amining and determining where there are any La
bic to pay the tax must be gone through by the
Assessors assistant assessors, Collectors, &c. and
after ALL If the tax is SD am, these officers Of gov
ernlnent are not to be shand out of their fees il
the conquerors of sc Free Trade, Sailors and Fish
ermens rightsn set them to work they ought TO be
paid but let the Merchant, the Farmer, the Me-
chanick, and the Laborer remember that it is their
industry laour and enterprise that is taxed for all
this.
What would have been done if old John Adams
and the Tory Federalists had brought the u. 5. in
to the situation which Mr.. M adison and the leaders
of democracy have--they would not only have
been turned out of Office the moment the people had
an opportunity of putting their votes into the ball
lot boxes, but they would have stood pretty good
chance TO have been hooted out of the country also
Three months having elapsed since the last adj
vices from Europe, we may now, daily expect the
receipt of important intelligence from that quarter,
particularly with respect to the dongs OF the Con-
gress at Vienna.
Reespfme.-Thc British sloop OF war Lefanf,
captured by the u. S. rigate Constitution has been
re-captured and arrived at Bermuda. 1t will be
recolected that the last accounts Of the Consttu-

British igatcs were in chase of her; that she dis
tanced them fast, and the night following was ve-
ry dark.
The probability is that the Constitution escaped
by superior sailing.
