Such papers, or ralt. er volumes for they will amount ta,,-a will thus be produced, cannot be without influence upon the decision which long must he made to how long, and to what exuent the principle ofproicctng dOmes- tic manufactures shall be portion of lhe settled poli- cy ofthe country. Congress will be called upon to determine, beGore many years, whether for the sake Ofassurng home industry, will be ndispensably cessary to raise revenue far beyond the wants ofhe governmeni,-to become source of perpetual, ever recurring. corrupt squabbles to its distributions or whether some middle ground may not be found, which in go appropra,ng the duties satisfy the demand. ofthe Treasury, will have the effect both of fulfilling the just claims of tho manufacturers and of aeviat ing the burdens of the consumers. A compromise i. all that he hoped; and that compromise may b, greatly facilitated ceriaiuly it's expeiency inexpc diency will be shown) by the facts and details whci these Conventions will collect and make pullic.''

 The ordinary annual expenses of our State Govern- do exceed $6O 900. The state tax levied on the above list will produce, including the abatement $37, ,340. From the inleres: of ihe Public Stock, du ties Licenses, State Prison Sc. the other portion of our tevenue is derived.
 Our population is 29S, 449. The average proportion of the expense of government annually s twenty for each person, but inc average proportion oG inc State Tax is only twelve ant! . halr cents.
 Tine Fund fnr the support of Common Schools a. mounts to $l, ,902, ,957, portion of which is productive. The amount o inereat dis,r 10 ihe scheols in 1880, was $77, ,333-beng equal to div- dend of more than 25 every inhabisant Of ,le State.
 Probably the annals of the world do not present similar instance. We here have government which after paying ai expenses, returns to the citizen than double the amount he haR been taxed. Instead ofbeing buthened with taxes, a bounty is bestowed 0n our Inhabitants Times.

A DVERTISEMENT.-To the surviving Officers and
IA Soldiers Of the Revolution, the legal Heirs and
Representatives of the decd:The subscriber supposed
TO be the last surviving Colonel of the Revolution but
too has been Tor several past and is still frequently
appealed from various quarters for information testimony
and advice, revolutionary rank and scrvces-nsomuch
that the postage of such applications has become
burthensome. He has therefore determined TO take his
stand this winterin Washington the purpose of reccv-
ing and attending to such applications giving advice and
instructions upon all points essential sustaining and aid
ing all such claims he knows and believes be lust
and preventing the imposition Of those on the public he
believes TO be otherwise For his time trouble and ae
tud expenses he will require reasonable remuneration
In proportion to the claims received, and also in proportion
TO the conditions OF those receiving He requires and
will receive nothing from the extreme needy-par-
ticularly OF widows orphans neither in cases de-
pending entirely on his testimony. The rept
ted hardgrntings OF persons calling themselves agents
on those war-worn veterans and their heirs whether
true or fase 1t is well known have operated much to
the prejudice and injury of the best of these claims
"A general agency, therefore, founded on the above pi-
pies and the most endcang broherly affections that
were formed among men, il hoped, will have happy
redeemng influence the merits of the survivors, and
memories of the deceased Of those heroes their descend

head begs leave, in humble and thankful Difference the
able and kind endeavo of Others here add the happy
consolation of The fact that he has cleared up some diff
cuhcs and doubts that have existed among the different
branches OF the State and General Governments
abshed thereby several leading principles important TO
those claims; the recorded evidences and
some of his will testify. GJ'Those able TO pay
postage will be good TO do Those who arc not
doubly solicited communicate freely and the sub
scriber will look, with inherited eyes, different source
from themselves and the public Treasury for reimburse
ment. Such Journalists feel themselves benefited BY
the privileges bestowed upon the Press by the Revolution
