WHlGGERY AND TAXATION

We commend to the especial notice of our rea
ders the following article which we copy from
the Greenfield (Nlass) Democrat
II must be highly gratifying to The Democrats O.
Vermont, that one Federal Editor has (nIlhbugI
Inadvertently acknowledged the TRUTH in relation
10 the effect upon tho people of high protective
duties, to wit, a tax upon the consumer for the
benefit of the manufacturer.
Here is a tac acknowledgement of the asser-
ton we have from time to lime made ,-tImt m

Upon this, tho C0nrRnt another Connecticut
paper, submits the following commcnts:--
I'VE find the above in the Norwich COurier.-

In relation 10 the foregoing article and comments
the Hartford Times says, they are from papers
whose entire song has been in favor Of revenue

HE gave receipts for the money, and his
individual bonds for its restoration.
Bot while Santa Anna was on his way
