To show that the burden proposed more Tor proec-

not excepting Tie one vetoed.
An exsm,na,ion Of this bill will show that there IS
not an article manufactured IN 'he county, "o' o'e

from our ranks Who could have believed but 4 few
DAYS since that such al even would shortly occur:
II results from all that is stated, that this bill is SO
constructed as give the greatest amount oil protec-
lion with the least of revenue, in proportion TO the

skill of its authors could combine; and IFS result VIII
be the least amount Of revenue IN proportion 10 The
