[For the American Republican
THE STAMP ACT.

Hsssrs. Edi.ors:-The attention of our citi-
Gems having lately been called to the consider
alton of the Stamp Act, which was recon-
mended by Gov. Pratt, and has been passed by
the legislature, it will perhaps be interesting
10 your readers to look back at the proceedings
of our forefathers when this famous act was
first attempted to be enforced by His Majesty
OF England. therefore send you for publica-
ton the following extract from Wizards His
tory of the United States:
AS the day approached on which the stamp
act was to take effect the popular feeling in
creased.
Had duties been laid on articles of conven-
ience and luxury, these might have been dis
pensed with; but this law was SO framed that
the evil intended as penalty for disobedience
was no less than the suspension of the whole
machinery OF the social order and the creation
Of state of anarchy. Neither trade nor nav
igation could proceed; no contract could he le-
gally made; no process against an offender
could be instituted; no apprentice could be in
denied; no student could receive diploma
nor even could the estates of the dead be legal
" settled until the stamp act act was paid.
Measures were taken to make the situation
of all concerned in its collection so unpleasant
that no one might be hardy enough to engage
as All officer.
At Boston, in the month of August, the pop
uace, after burning the efligy of Mr.. Andrew
Oliver, the proposed distributor of stamps, as,
eembad in his house, broke his windows, and
destroyed his furniture. Mr.. Oliver then for
InaIly pledged himself to have no concern in
the execution of tie obnoxious statute
Ia New Haven, Mr.. ingersol like MIR. Oil,
YER, was obliged to declare his resolution not
10 become distributor Similar scenes occur
red in other places.
American Republican and Baltimore daily clipper. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1844-1846, 1845-03-17

The first Of November, the day on which
the act was to take effect was ushered III by
the tolling of bells as for funeral procoa, IN,
and sigus Of mourning and sorrow appeared in
| all the colonies.
In New York the stamp act was hawked
| about with a deaths head attached to it under
the tile of ''Folly of England and ruin of
America"
"ln Portsmouth, Hampshire" says Doctor
Holmes, "a coffin neatly ornamcnted and in
scrbcd Liberty, aged CXLV years." was pre-
pared for the funeral procession which began
at tho State House, attended with two Embraced
drums Minute guns were fred until the corpse
arrived at the grave, when an Grafton was pro-
nounced in honor Of the deceased.
Scarcely was the Grafton closed, when some
remains of life having been discovered, the
corpse was taken up. The inscription on the
lid OF the coffin was changed to Liberty Re
vived" The bells suddenly struck up a cheer
fol sound, and joy appeared IN every counten-
ance.
lrs REPEAL. The resolution to repeal that
act was opposed by Lord Grenville and his
adherents, who were answered by Mr. Pitt
That great man maintained, that taxation was
no part of the governing or legislative power
which Parliament had a right to exert over the
the stamp act be repealed, totally, absolutely and
immediately"
The bill for its repeal at last passed the Com
mons and was sent to the House Of Lords,
where it met with much opposition. But the
cause of the colonies was ably advocated by
Lord Camden.
"My position" said he, ''is this repeat it,
will maintain it to my last hour-taxation
and representation are Inseperabe.
"This position is founded on the laws of ma
ture; for whatever is a mans is absolutely his
ewn; no man has a right to take it without his
consent Whoever attempts to take it, attempts
an injury whoever does it, commit, robbery +"
In looking at the subject it will appear re-
markable that such Il striking coincidence exists.
The Parent State, as she was called, seemed
DESTROYS of crushing the energies, and tamper-
ing IN every form with the colonies, which
were treated as if their only business was to
furnish money for the use ofan unnatural parent.
Does not this seem to be too much the case
with the State of Maryland to the City of Bal
timore? Does not this act bear with particular
hardship and I'M ustice upon our city? And
will it not be seen at glance, that the tax
sought to be cxactcd from our citizens far ex
ceeds in amount the sum which could have been
realized from the whole colonies at the period
when George the Third sought to enforce this
act upon them.
We commend the whole matter to the atten-
ton of those most interested.

Every succeeding number of your truly
American journal is received with additional
qualification by your subscribers, and Others, in
this, the metropolis of the Union.
The stir and hustle of the Inauguration be-
ing over, had hoped every thing would have
settled down to the usual business routine of
life; but matters are widely different here at
present The Presidents House has suffered
Il complete siege, since the 18th of March, by
the ms and outs: the one to retain and the
the other to obtain otfice-very unpleasant, |
should Judge, for all parties. Mr. Polk cer-
tainy does not recline upon a bed of roses.
We have but few amusements here, since
the lamentable occurrence at the theatre and
the departure of Prof. De Bonneville and his
accomplished lady, who, by the bye, under
stand are in your city, and intend delivering a
course of lectures upon the science OF Animal
Magnetism Their lectures here were attend
ed by crowded and enlightened audiences; and
! have no doubt they will astonish your ctl-
zens, as we'll as yourselves, by their wonderful
power over the human system. They have
been very successful here in their treatment of
nervous diseases by Magnetism, and deserve
great praise for their kind and patient atten-
ton to those suffering under disease. There
was a lecture delivered here on Wednesday
evening, upon the same subject, by your es-
teemed late townsman, Capt. Hewitt | am
sorry it was but slightly attended, as his re-
marks were to the point, and consisted OF his
experience in the science. His experiments
were very successful.
l am lntruding too much upon your valuable
time and space, and must therefore close with
every wish for the welfare of your noble cause,
that Of the American people. |. w. E.
