petition was presented 10 the House of Dele
gates on Sat#day, by Mr.. Rutherford, from
uuniocr OF the ciiizons o Richmond praying such on
e%pination or modification of the law imposing Tux
upon Merchants licenses will cSemp, mechanics
'o'" TIC payment OF That tax. We hh rty donht
that the prayer of the petitioners will be granted.
The construction that has been given to the law h,
operated oppressivcly many mechanics, whom i.
could not have been the intention of the Legislature
to assess with the tax although the letter of the law
warrants the construction that has been given 10 il,
by which mechanics who use any foreign article in
their manufactures, though ever so trifing are con-
fdered as vendors offoregn merchandise, and taxed
accordingly a suddlcr, for instance, who sells
saddle OF his own manufacture, with English stirrup
rons is brought under the operation Of the law, and
compelled to pay a tax much greater than the valuc
OF the foreign articles used in his manufa cures We
repeal, we cannot doubt that the Legislature will SD
define anu explain alter this law, as TO remedy ,be
grievance complained of--for whoever may doubt
the disposition OF the Virginia Legislature to foster
and encourage manufactures, none can believe TIM,
1t Is their intention to Cypress them with onerous
'hacAes and burhens Lai,se< nous fare, is oil that
is asked in the petition, and tft is the motto Of rho
