CrIRro1rs TAx.-The Louisville Journal has an
article three columns long headed 50 The Act ofthe
last Legislature fer Confsticating Public Property
The amount Of the act referred to is this, and is
found in the eighth and ninth sections ofthe act of
last session, entitled, I'm net TO add TO the
sources of The shaking Fund" The FIRST of these
sections provides !" that, where person dies.
leaving neither father, mother, child grandchld,
the title TO his real estate shall not pass to,
his personal pronertv he distributed among, his
brothers ard sisters, until they have raid foe per
cent. on the full value thereof to the Common
wealth nor to nephews, neices, uncles, or aunts,
till they have naid seuen ami hGifpe cent. nor
toremoter kindred till they have padten per cent"
This is adding to the resources Of the Sinking
Fund with a vengeance. The Commonwealth
makes itself co-heir in every mans estate, where
there hanpens to be father or direct descendant
in the family down to grandchildren. That is :
the Commonwealth Of Kentucky yerv coollv tells
every rich old bachelor that she is very nearly res
lated to him, and must have from five to ten per.
cent on all his proDertv Nav a man cannot leave
his property to his wife without paving or 10
dollars on hundred, 81 that if he is worth $780,
an, the Commonwealth comes in for 100000 or
10000. II man wishes to leave any part Of his
estate to benevolent intitution or for the relief
Of the poor, the Commonwealth of Kentucky ceolly
pockets or 10 rer cent. IF it first. Tocrown this
legislative blunder, laughable to I'll exceot the
sufferer, the State aDpoints an aren't to value this
prooertv, of which she isone Of the heirs. II we
were TO nse aKentuc!y phrase we should call this
law scTeGmer.

DEMOCRATIC WING PRINCIPLES.
No intelligent and candid man (says the
New York Courier aud Enquirer can doubt
tina, the fundamental principles of the Wing
party are infinitely better adapted than those
OF their opponents 10 secure the greatest
happiness of the creates: number of our
people, and that they are therefore far more
truly democratic, in this most honorable
aud worthy sense, than those of that party
who claim the name OF Democrats, in re.
turn for which they cheerfully give up eye-
ry thing tina, could entitle them 10 wear il.
Robert ! Conrad, Esq 10 letter declin.
ing re. election 10 the State Senate in Vir.
ginia, asks some very pointed questions on
this subject, and uteTs words of courage
and Of hope which must inspire the heart
of every Wing in the land. We copy the
following passages:
Wherein does a single Wing measure
conflict with democracy Is it democratic
10 throw ourselves at the feet eff the mer.
chants and manufacturers Of England and
France. the cotton growers Of Carolina, or
the importers of New York, and say to
them, do with US as you willl Is il demo-
cratic TO deny to our own Representatives
IN Congress the power 10 regulate the cur
rency and commerce, without which the
several States will have less intercourse
with each other than with foreign coun-
trles' Is ii democratic TO leave the public
lands subject for political bribery and
rapine, whilst the States to whom they be.
ong need them, TO save US all from the dis.
grace OF Reputation, TO educate the rising
generation, to make US good roads and ca.
mails? Is il democratic TO sustain and tos.
ter the overgroWn power Of our Federal
Executive? Or is it democratic TO refuse
TO men Of small capital tie right of uniting
their means, that they may engage in en-.
Ierpriscs which, without this privilege,
would be monopolzed by The men 81 great
wealth
"Whig principles must prevail. To
loubI II would be to give up the great qucs.
ion of Republican government. For a
line selfish politicians and selfish principles
rave place, for the people are not always
wake but when the misrule becomes ap.
,arent, they arouse themselves. Already
We behold that great party, which never
'ermiis itself 10 be aroused but when the
Republic is in danger, moving with even
tronger power and will than 10 1s40.--
Ihe people of the country are again coming
o the rescue Of their own institutions, and
be victory of lS44 is already won."
