LET TIE oDIous DESTRUCTION Law GE NULL,FIED
Vi. REPEALLD
Among the vile measures imposed upon the people
at the late Extra Session of Congress, hat which has
been and will continue to h. most ST ng,y repudiated
and condemned by the people is The shitution act-
an act intended to corrnp, the peop with their own
money What champion of Federal IN New Hamp.
shire dare advance and contend beaf people that
this wise and sanary ac!' Suppose it should pre-
sent the State annually the sum Of fifty sixty thou
sand dollars. Where does il GO shen Will the Legis-
lanrc vote 10 receive il and pay the State expenses
There few esenatives who would vote to re-
ceive it who would have the moral courage 10 do this:
the money received will be distributed 10 tine towns
each representative will Take it boz with hun; and
each town oflhe State, catching rIt of Portsmouth
and other towns which distribSi |ir money to every
man, woman and child, will byer by the head
to all the inhabitants rich q hy the time II
arrives nj lis destination, il 81 ~ little no relief.
1t will be what the surpl IA distribution was in
most Of the towns, a subject e';en,ion and wrang-
ling.
But another most odious fraYlfe as The distribution
law is, the necessity II has created for additional ares
on the ncctssaris Of tit The body that passed
the law of distribution passrd law 10 tax sugar
md salt and other articles the full amount of fifth
Of the price 10 supply the deficiency. The Extra SEES
sion Of Congress was called 10 bring back taxation 10
the point where il slpod under ti Tariff law of 1899;
the Wing rule brought back the taxation as near that
point they could 90. Moro than q hundred mil.
lions had been saved the pockets of the people by
the exerons oil the Democrats n Hngress since 1926
in the actual reduction Of taxation lhe necessaries
OF life: the prices Of tea, coli, II and sugar-the
prices Of MANY articles of wrarns fA,ate HAD BEEN
REDUCED FROM ONE TlliKD TO ONE HALF
II the first object Of Wing rule TO the duties
all these articles to drain the pockets of the farmer
and laborer by the imposition OF aew taxes; and 10
make taxes Indispensable they mass law 10 throw
away on The >tates where the money will be caught
by spectators, avalls of,he public lands which
with prudent mana$ rmcnt, nigh, 60 .ar towards de.
frayng the expenses Of the General Government.
| Seeing the universal odun aud kgust with which
this vile distribution law is receive is every where
evinced in our elections, We are without strong
hopes that the very Congress which passed the law
will at it's session efrctua!ly nullry it. Ata
events The law Eerer GO Dto effect ,ftIe Democrat
c States shall y, it. let the Legislatures of the
States resolve not TO receive tho money winch the
States must pay back with tho accumulated expense oil
collection. Let the Legislatures instruct their Senators
and Representatives, relieve The people from the un-
just taxation which the extra session imposed upon
them-to take of the odious excise upon sugar and
salt and at once repeal the distribution law.
Can the friends N State Rights stand quietly by and
suffer the Distribution act 10 gn into effect, will they
willingly consent cat the States who boast of indie
pendence shall become serfs and tributaries of
Congress, with the glorious privilege of paying back
in oppressive taxation larger than the amount OF
money which buys and corrup,s them: Every princi.
pie Of right and Justice mpcs the friends Of our free
institutions 10 rally for resistance to the gross corrup.
tons which have commenced The Wing adminisira-
ton. The people are speaking in voice Of thunder
the hand writing is upon the wall which will conspn
The Wing party to namy let the Democratic Legs
atures Of the States which successfully taking the
place of Wing Legislatures do their DEFY the present
Winter and the mschief.makers of Congress will be
driven TO their dens. leaving healthy majority for the
purpose of Just legislation even the present Con-
gress.--HA's y. Fl. Patriot
