Of heavy direct taxes, which would evenr

NOU. 10 In few remarks which we
made the other day. we stated, as we
then believed, that the deticr lin the Re-
Veune OF the ensuing year would be
greater than IL will prove 10 be for the
present year 80. We were under the im-
preston, indeed, tia, this deficit would
be considerably greater, grounding our
calculations on The reduction OF the an
meal iecOme, and The equality of The an.
nuai expenditure. Some nf our journals,
seizing upon this conjecture Of ours, have
tonaded upon II projects OF TeiTenchment,
according to their notions oiTeirenchmeDt,
which aim al The roofs of our most valu"
abie aud indispensable establishments /;
and one OF these commentators, az our
readers have seen, proposes The mild al
Tentative Of a coat of tar and feathers TO
any member OF Congress who hesiidtes
between loan and an abandonment pf
the present wise policy of defensive pre-
paraii0u, precautiOn, aud prevention.
u Is partly With The view to calm the
tedrs OF these popularity seeking gentle
men, but more to allay the approximations
Of the patriot politician, that we now
state, that we have no doubt the public
will, ere long, learn from authority 10 be

of the revenue, az from The probable re-
duciOn Of tie national expenditure, the
inadCquacy Of the revenue will b much
less lIlan We apprehended. We have un
derstood, for example, that The apprOprs-
sion for The Revolutionary Pension List,
foT The present year, has so far exceeded
