The domestic debt is redeemable at the pleasure
OF the State, and the school and trust funds con-
stifute permanent loan to the'cana fund.- the int
crest being annually appropriated for the benefit OF
those funds. OF the foreign debt, the sum of S.
sIs,66s rs will fall due in the year 1850; the sum
OF $S .S65,7 "a in the year 1856; the sum of ST.
oi2 ,7sl in the year 1860; and the sum of $667,-
$50 30 in the year 1870.
The time has arrived when decisive and effectu-
almeasures should be adopted to raise the means
for the discharge of the debt which will fall due in
lS50 earnestly commend this subject to your
especial attention.
The system Of taxation heretofore existing in
tins State was defective, and in many particulars
unequal In its operations. A revision of the tax
laws had become necessary. The new system of
taxation adopted at the last session of the Legisla
ture, although complicated its Details Is Just in
principle, and has obvated many of the deficien-
cies in the former laws This system, however,
Is not as consider, without objections in some
parts. 1t could scarcely be expected that an en-
tire change in difficult subject as that of the
revenue law, could be made free from objection.
The valuation of property,u under this
new system,has brought large amount
OF property on the duplicate, which
formerly entirely escaped taxation.-I
But the largest addition to the valua-
tion OF property on the grand duplicate
has been made by the valuation of all
the improvements and fixtures on real
estate. The valuation of property for
taxation, on the grand duplicate,
IN the year 1845, was as follows:
Lands, $s5,sl6,169; Real Estates
IN cities and towns,s S92, 1863, ,575;
Chattels, Money at Interest. &c
SS5.974,726;total valuation, s144. 16O.,
469. The valuation brought upon the
duplicate, under the new system. is as
follows, viz: Lands,$2ss, ,osa, ,e35; Real
Estate in cities and towns, S65. 500
373; Chattels, Money at Interest. &C.
$79,i77,434; total valuation on the
grand duplicate, S4Os,s73,4s8. The
Increase IN the total valuation of real
estate for the purposes of taxation Is
SASS ,260; and the increase in the
total valuation of, chattels and money
1t interest, &c, is S43,9o2,75s. !,

'ro the, People.

Inc session OF Congress, winch has Just ter.
minated, will be long and gratefully remembered
byIal true republicans for the triumphant success
many of their cherished principles and measures.
! While we heartily rejoice at the triumph Of the
principles which il has been our constant effortto
advocate and defend, and from which no prosper. I
ity no adversely, can swerye US; we cannot be nm,
mindful OF the attitude in which we are placed by
a recent vote Of both houses of Congress-we al :
lude to the contemplated withdrawal of their pat :
ronage from the newspaper press. To thisdecision,
we cheerfuy bow, sensible as we are Of the patri-
otic motives which have led to il. But we trust
that this decision of Congress increases rather than
diminishes our claim to the support of higher
power--that Of MePeople; and to them we Conf
IDENTIFY appeal TO aid US, by Their patronage, in sue
tanning at the seat OF goverDmenta journal that is
nexibly devoted to their interests and the true in
ierests OF the country.
1t Is known to every one, that the chief source
Of sustaining newspaper IS not the magnitude of
its subscription list, much the advertising pat
ronage which may be bestowed upon it. In large
commercial cities, indeed the latter is usually the
concomitantof the former, as it becomes the OBJ 4
vious interest of mercantile men TO advertise IN
those papers which are the most extensively circu-
lated. Washington, however, is differently situ- u
ated Deprived of the advertising patronage inci-
dent to mercantile community, and burdened
with peculiar aud enormous expenses which are
not elsewhere incurred nothing but very long list
OF subscribing patrons can sustain paper in useful
ness--if, indeed, even existence. The propri-
tors Of the Union" have hitherto spared no pans,
and no expense, to make their paper worthy Of the
