Double and pile skirts are very general; and

be fairly ascertaned, it would be found that
the great mass of merchants and traders are
taxed beyond their actual worth.
But your correspondent asserts that many Of
them are taxed too little-therefore he would
tax them al! too much. Because MANY of them
are assessed at less than their actual worth,
therefore he would proceed to tax all the oper-
atoms of the great mass of them, whether they
be worth anything or not
If A, who is worth 100000, is assessed at
less than $4,000, is it any satisfaction to b,
who is worth nothing, to be taxed for a proper
ton of the deficiency? Or is there any Justice
in it,
If some merchants, or all merchants are as
sessed at less than their real worth, let the err
rer be rectifed-but let not this wrong be at
tempted to be remedied by the commission of
aaother wrong.
Let me conclude this article by supposing that
the merchants have opposed, and do oppose,
the Stamp Act, and the Stamp Act only-that
they place their opposition to it upon the
ground OF its inequallty-that they will ere
sist" the imposition of this tax with as much
''manly frmness" as your correspondent would
'all attempts to increase the direct tax" that
they have not opposed, and will not oppose any
"ssggestions for raising additional revenue''
which are founded OH the principles of Justice,
but in the language of their memorial to the
Legislature deploring the fallen condition Of the
credit of the State, and believing that it is in
the power of the present Legislature by wise and
equal laws to restore it, they will bear their
proportion OF such taxes, as the Legislature
may see ut to impose on them, in common with
the rest of their fellow citizens.
