Taxations

II is expected that the Secretary Of the
Treasury will Recommend various modi
ications of the law of taxation, which now
stands upon the statute book as the Whig
Tariff Of lS42, in order to rectiiy its rla-
ring inequalities, and distribute more
equally the burthens which the support of
government impose upon the people. AL.
though the democracy have large nomi.
nal mojority in Congress, yet, should they
carry out in good faith the notifications
proposed, they will 60 altogether beyoud
our expectations. The classes that are
most largely and directly benefited by
the present tariff, have the most leisure
and the most means for operating upon
the legislation of Congress; while the un-
privileged masses have neither the time
nor the money to spend in the dignihed
duties Of lobbying for the advancement of
their interests. The tariff party are sci.
dom defeated when they put forth their
strength; and atstreugth ispretty ahun-
udbl WIN lHeu dl thiS tlhe' p"ll' W AHt
bounties which the Act of lS42 has poured
into their laps with such an unspairlDg
hand. If we are to have any legislation
on the subject Of taxation, it is hoped the
coming Congress will have the manlloess
TO avoid all such subterfuges as specific and
minimum duties; and come out boldly like
honest men and tar imroriationS according
to their real ualue. In such course there
is good democratic honesty. 1t is time
to have done with all such frauds in legiss
lation as declaring that yard of calico
which did not cost more than 10 cents,
shall be deemed to have cost 30 cents and
shall be taxed accordingly. What would
farmer say TO the Justice or honesty Of
rating his farm, worth only $4,000, at
three times its value (say $l5,0O0,) and
taxing it at such an absurd valuation!-
And yet it would be no more absurd than
is the law which requires him to pay tax
upon yard Of calico, as though it were
worth so cents, when in reality it is worth
only 10 cents. Our tariff laws are fall of
absurdities of this description, dishonest
in their character, and unequal and unjust
in the exactions they make upon the peo-
pie Wdrcester t.Nass) Palladium.

0F To-day we give the message of Mr.
Barley in all its various branches. 1t speaks
loudly in favor of the present banks, and
says, that under their influence prices have
risen, money is plenty and our currency is
now sound. Who would have known this all
had transpired if Mr. Barley had not said so:
Where are the higher prices-where the
plenty of money and the sound currency!-
The peoples eyes must be SO eclipsed tina,
they have not been able to see all these things
for nearly if not every man, is complaining Of
hard times, low prices and scarcity of money
We fear Wing rule will never make good
times among the laborng portion of commu-
nifty but rather oppress them. They will Gre
ate rotten systems of banking, employ men
to labor for them, then pay out their paper
trash, after which they close their banks and
tell the laborer unless he sacrifice one fourth
or half his wages, that paper will not be re.
ceived Such has been the case, and nothing
yet has proven it will not be so again.

Quoting British Authorities.

British precedents in our courts are
euce on doubtful points Of law. The late
Judge Daniels, of Virginia, used to tell
with great glee, how, when young man
on the circuit, he saved clients life,
solely because the apostle counsel quo
ted from British authorities. II occurred
during the last war, when the English
squadron under Admiral Cock burn, was
ascending the Potomac river, burning and
plundering the villages along its banks, a
negro man was arraigned for the murder
of one of his own color; the offence was
clearly proved, and the only chance for
his escape was slight infornality in the
indictment. The prosecuting attorney,
in reply TO Mr.. Danels's defence of his
client, quoted from British authorities,
showing clearly that the ground taken by
the latter was untenable. While he was
quoting and speaking, at intervals, bang
bang! bang! went the cannon from the
British squadron. Daniels rose to answer,
and with great tact seized hold of the
strong point of his opponents cause, turn
ing it completely against him.
"Gentlemen," said he, to the justices
on the bench the prosecuting attorney
quotes on this occasion, British authori
lies! British authorities gentlemen!--
Can there be any one in this court room
except himself, so dead to feelings Of pa
triotsm, as at such moment to listen 20
British authorities, when British C cannon
is shaking tue very walls of this court
house TO their foundation! pause for
replv!"
Up jumped one Of the justices, highly
excited at this appeal, and thus adressed
the prosecuting attorney: "Look here,
Mr.. A, you had better strike bee
line from this court house, with your
British authorities, or I'll commit you'll
Prisoner, you can go! Crier, adjourn the
court! British authorities be d-d!"
The prosecuting attorney was struck all
in heap at these ertra justicial proceed
ings, and resigned his Office the very mex [
day.

hdence in the Democratic party, qfter the repeal
of the 25th rule-which, for the honor Of the

at that repeal, though the Senate had done SO

selves with an enthusiasm bordering on insanity,
upon one question, aided by as many women
equally devoted must and will be heard Nc
power can make us deaf to them, as none can
arrest their voice of thunder, Neither Congress
nor the State Legislatures, nor public opinion
nor the press, North or South, can check for q
moment the agitation of Abolition. Its course is
onward, and onward, to the catastrophe---to blood
shed and disunion. And we must meet it
whether we will or not No Federal honors vii
screen the great men of the South----no craven
cry Of peace will screen the small men, or any
man. And in my opinion the crisis is very close
al hand.

what | would say, if authorised to @pJomatizc

as well as bark, is doubtful; but feel assured
they will not stop short of any 'moraP measures
and they will dissolve the Union at least, or con

RESISTANCE TO TYRANNY.

In Georgetown ID. CO. the following affair took
place last week Here is a gang Of kdnNppers le-
salzed by the authority of the United States.
Their deed is the deed of every man who votes
for either of the pro slavery parties. Did the
" runaway" treat them half so bad as they de-
served? No.
During Wednesday night, three of the police
officers Messrs. Barnace, Adams, and Poston,
succeeded in arresting Runaway slave, belong
ing to MIR Lawrence Morton, of this town, after
desperate resistance on the part Of the slave, and
some other blacks The fellow had been absent
from his master for some months, we believe, and
the officers having received intImalion of his
whereabouts CHE house of negro woman in the
northern suburbs Of Washington repaired TO the
spot, determined to secure him. The negro him
self an athletic fellow, ASA lied them with an axe.
whilst his friends endangered the lives of the Off

From the collection Of negroes, and the manner in
which they were prepared to resist, it is evident
they anticipated the visit of the officers. Mr.. Bar
