New York Herald, in treating Of this un.
equal mode of taxes, alludes for example
TO John Jacob Astor Of New York, who,
with property Of twenty-five millions Of
dollars, pays no more of the public expen-
|dture than any ordinary citizen. The
mass Of the people will finally ascertain
what no one who has given any attention
10 the subject denies, that this impost tax
is most unequal mode Of collecting the
public revenue at best, and TO be obliged
to submit 10 an increase Of those taxes for
the express purpose Of protection, or in
other words, to enable manufacturers to tax
higher for their goods, is TO submit; TO ex-
torion; they will find that poor man of.
ten pays twenty-five, fifty, or may be
hundred dollars, per annum, Oh goods which
his family consume; when, if property
were taxed, he might pay five, and large
portion would pay only perhaps poll tax.
Then, too, in the event Of war, who are
10 take the field 10 defend the property
from invasion? There can be but one an
swer 10 this, the mass mus. do the fight
ing, and under the present system of tax
alton, the mass must pay the expenses
What, then, will the people do when they
come 10 make this matter subject, OF Sc
rious reflection, and become familiar with
| it in all its bearing4l VIII they not rise 10
their might and throw off system of tax
alton which has been SO much abused
through the insidious cfoaking about "pro-
lection Of American industryP
We warn these protcctionists, who have
been taxing the people that they may reap
their twenty and thirty per cent dividends,
to be quiet and peaceable, and suffer the
rates of duties 10 be equalzed, and brought
to a revenue standard, or the system Of
taxation by impost will be overlhrown and
demolished. They may think for the pre-.
sent that their house stands strong; they
may think the idea Of free trade mere
theory, an abstraction, not susceptible Of
Amy practical application; that their
"American SYSTEM is too strongly hedg-
ed about, to apprehend any serious inroads
upon it; but SO they once thought of Uni.
ted States Bank; yet they have seen that
institution abolished, and the hope Of It's
renewal has become an 'sobsolete iden,'
and if The friends Of protection will not
become reasonable men, the system of
taxation BY impost will be also reckoned
among the things that have passed away.

Honey is, according to Mr.. Milton who

England, universal specific, and among
its other valuable properties, he declares
that it prevents consumption, and states
that the destroyer Of human life is moi
known in countries where honey is regu.
larly taken as an article Of food. Those
who have less faith in the specific may
perhaps attribute the cause 10 difference Of
climate rather than to honey. The Italian

sharpen Il with fow drops Of acid, though

MEDIcAL.-A new medical work of a
move, character is.announced as ready for
publication by Mr.. Red6eld, of Clinton
fall. 1t will undoubtedly make 'sensa.
iion,' rot only among professional men, but
the public at large, for the author has la
bored 10 render il generally useful by di-
yosting it as much as possible Of technical
terms. II is entitled "The Principles Of
the Chrono.Thermal System Of Medicine;
with FalIacies of The Faculty. and is from
the pen of The celebrated lr. Samuel Dick.
son, of London. 1t contends for the uni
ty of disease; that there is but one dis
ease--of which fever and ague is the
type; that all the forms of disease, even the
most acute, (Which are commonly called
inAammatory,) are durable without the aid
Of blood-letting in any munner.
The author cites many cases from his
own practice and that of others, whose
opinions are at variance with his own, to
prove his posiin. The remedies pre-
scribed by him are, like his system, sim
pie, and like those treated Of in all the
ordinary dispensatores; but the doses are
smaller, the author maintaining that the
action Of his chrono-ihermal medicines is
electrical or magnetcal, primarily through
the nervous system. Calomel sinks into
subordinate rank 10 this system, and is
placed amang what are called sympto1at-
&c medicines. When given, il is only in
minute doses.
This work will be accompanied, as |
learn, with an Introduction and notes by
DR.. VIM. Turner, late health commission
er for this city, and who, having been long
engaged in studying the new system, de-
clares that he has amply verified il in his
practice, and that its superiority over all
other systems Of medicine cannot be gain.
