"THE BRITISH WHIGS."

The wings have got a number of penkniucs
manufactured for the approaching presidential
campaign, with the name of Henry Clay engraved
on the blade Notwithstanding their clustering
about "protecting home industry" they did not
suppose that American workmen were competent
to manufacture even this electioneering device,
but they had to send to England TO haze their
Clay peaknipts manufactured This shows how
utterly false it is for the Clay wings to say that they
are the friends of American industry, and at the
same time it makes manifest the deep interest Brit
ish manufacturers feel in the success Of whig
tricks They have no doubt received assurances
that if Clay should be elected, he will "carry out
the spirit of the compromise act," and from this
promise, England has probably agreed to furnish
all the electoneering baubles that may be required
in the campaign. The Clay penkniues are the
first, we believe, that have been sent out.
Truly the Clay party may be called "British
whgs," when they apply to the aristoeraoy OF
England to furnish them with their party embems

VIRGINIA ELECTIONS.

The following from the Globe Of May

Virginia Elections:
"The Richmond Enquirer of this

is as follows: Wings 65, democrats SO

United States senator, in the whig col

the 65. But on the other hand, it ex-
tends one from Tyler county to the
democratic column, which is added to
make it SO. The Wheeling papers re-
ceived to-day, say that Tyler, which we
have counted as democratic gain, on
the authority of whig papers, has elect

For the Spirit of Democracy.

Mn. EplroR:-The citizens of Ohio
support an enormous burthen OF taxa
ton. This proposition is unqestlona-
BILE. whether we consider the actual a.
mount of their contributions absolutely
or in reference to their ability to con-
tribute. The government OF Oaio can
be well administered for one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars per annutn;
vet the people are called on for more
than millon!!. A most singular state
of things. 1t is therefore matter OF
interest to every taxpayer in the State
to consider what proportion OF our tax
alton is rightfulIy and what wrongtully
levied.
The great jefferson has recommend
ed frequent recurrence to tirst prln,,
ciples. otherwise, in the mere practical
details Of our political affairs we incur
the danger oflosing sight f,hose great
and essential principles of right and JUS
tice, which can never be violated with
impunity.
From whence then arises the true
right of the government to demand a
portion OF the citizens substance IN the
shape of taxation. In order to answer
this question correctly, it becomes ne
cessary to examine, briefly, the motives
of men in constituting states. hose
motives unquestionably are the desire
to obtain safety and protection. TO
substitute the dominion law and or
der for the dominion of brute forces In
a state of nature every man is the aven-
ger of his own wrongs, the champion
ofhis own quarrels. In state OF civil
society men have resigned to the com
munity at large, these pefiious prlvl-
eges, the fruitful sources OF so much
strife and contention. This is done in
order that the weakness Of each, may
be protected by the strength of all. In
order that each individual, relieved from
the necessity Of being judge and aven-
germ his own case, may have an eqnl-
liable and impartial tribunal, to which he
may appeal for the redress OF his grlev-
ances.
1t therefore becomes the duty OF the
whole society, upon complaint made Of
crime, to examine by its appointed
agents into the truth of the complaint
and upon proof of guilt to inflict ade-
ouate punishment, so that the good cltl'
zen may live in peace and safety. 1t is
equally the duty of the same society,
when complaint is made OF civll lnlu'
ry, to examine into the matter by the
same agency and restore right to hln
= that has received wrong.
In other words, it is the duty OF the
State by prompt execution oi civil ane
criminal Justice, to protect all Its cltl
zens, in their lives, their property, theIl
health and their reputation.
We may therefore say in genera
that taxation is rightful only whe1 1t l.
employed to enable the State to per
form those most necessary and lmpor
tant duties.
But as it is intended to extend th'
consideration of this subject through
series of communications, we shall o'
inno haste to deduce all the conclusions
which might be drawn from these prem
ises, but shall recur to them at II mes II
the further progress of our investlga
tons. We shall conclude this first es
saw by reminding the reader that Iy
rants of old proceeded by force. Spec
