THE TAX BlIL-So soon we obtain correct
copy Of the Tax bill, it passed the Legislature, We
will lay it before readers. We here merely re.
mark that the clamor which the Richmond Wing and
lis allies have raised in regard 10 it, is in humble
judgment most unjust These gentlemen ought to con-
slider the numerous difficulties which surround the
subject, and the utter mpossIbiIty Of passing act
which will prove fully acceptable 10 all Our situa.
ton requires that something should be done TO raise
the means 10 extingush the interest Of the debt, and
discharge portion of the principal. 1t was either
this reputation, and who amongst does not pre-
Ter the former course' We are for saving the honor
Of the State, by providing in good faith for the pay
ment of debt. We may possibly say more when
we publish the aw-HQHcy Star.

We are compelled TO dismiss this subject Tor inc

sent, we remark, that tax bill could have been
framed which should satisfy all In state OF ciyilizea

which shall be jus, in theory and may be corrected
when time shall show its defects The present bill
contains but few in opinion, because it had pre-
ceden in several States, in whose system taxes, that
to u.s. had been engalted for years. But, even
if contained many, we should give credit praise and
gratitude 10 the men who have saved our honor and
exalted credit. The alternative before them was
reputation and disgrace. with numberess moral evils,
increased taxation. They choose the latter, as be-
ing most in accordance with justice and the senme mia
of magmanimous constituency. They endeavored to
make taxation equal upon ALL and refused TO raise the
tax on land srty sir per cent proposed by Mr.
Daniel, whig, or fifty per sent, proposed by
Mr. Cruchfeld another Wing, in favor of large and
opulen class who have not heretofore contributed for
the bounty the State affords them.
