TAX ON BANKS.

Some exceedingly wise gentleman
who stays in Columbus has written a
long article for the Piqua Register, and
marshaled several columns of figures
for the purpose of showing that a tax
of six per cent on the profits of the
banker, is greater tax on the capital
OF the banker, than is paid by that class
Of community who are taxed on their
capital invested.
This same idea has been advanced
and endeavored to be proved by nu-
merous bank whig prints, before this.
and we have asked them to answer
one question but they have as yet
maintained a profound silence. They
remain silent because they have not
been able to cypher it out to their no.
tion. we suppose.
The question is this--If the bankers
have to pay more money into the trea'
sury, by being taxed on their profits
according to the provisions Of the pre-
sent law, than they would have to pay
into the treasury, by having the amount
Of their capital placed on the duplicate
and taxed, as the property of the far
mer and mechanic is taxed, why is it
that the bankers with all their friends
and pensioned presses oppose with SO
much violence, the proposition to tax
them as other people are taxed? Why
do they refuse to be placed on a level
with the honest farmer and mechanic
in this respect, if they can save money
by it? We should be pleased if some
of the bank organs would answer this
question, candidly and fairly. We are
confident it would be gratifying to ma
ny honest farmers and mechanics to
know why it is that these bankers insist
upon a mode of taxation which takes
so much more money out Of their pock-
cts, in proportion to their capital, than
is taken out of the pockets Of the far.
mer and mechanic, in proportion tc
their capital. After answering these
questions, we should be pleased to learn
whether the bankers would be willing
to change places with the farmer, and
let him pay six per cent on his profits
in lieu of taxes, and let the banker be
taxed on his capital, as the farmer ow
is. And then tell US how it can be
just and right to make the farmer pay
taxes on his capital invested, if he
makes no profits, and at the same time
exempt the banker from paying any
taxes, if he should make no profits
We hope the gentleman who stays in
Columbus, and takes it upon himself to
enlighten the readers of the Register,
upon the effect of the tax law, will not
consider it beneath his dignity to an
swer these questions. Some of his old
acqnaintances would be glad to SEQ him
try his hand at this Dominion.

"LOOK TO THE SENATE,

A traveller, wandering among the
diamond mines in Brazil, would be apt
to throw away piece of black rock as
valueless; but the practiced eye would

priceless gem. Hereditary wealth and

BY CHARLES WEBB, ESQ.
Tune" Old Dan Tucker"
The Mexicans are on our soil,
In war they wish US to embroil;
They've tried their best and worst to vex US
BY numbering our brave men in Texas.
Chorus-We're Oh our way to Matamoras
On our way to Matamoras,
On our way to Matamoras,
And Wen drive the foe before US
We are the boys who fear no noise,
Wen leave behind US all our joys
To punish those half-savage scamps,
Who've slain our bretheren in their camps.
We're OH our way 10 Matamoras, &C.
They've slaughtered Porter, Kain, and Cross
Most deeply we deplorc their loss;
Those bloody deeds wen make them rue,
And pay them off for old and new!
We're on our way, sc.
Wen cross the famous Rio Grande,
Engage the villains hand to hand
And punish them for all their sins
BY stripping off their yellow skins.
We're on our way, sc.
Herrera and Paredes too,
And all the chiefs of the vile crew,
Well show unto their lazaroni,
Mounted on a wooden pony!
We're on our way, sc.
And when we've punished them enough,
Wen make them shell us out the stuff
To pay the wars expense, and then
Wen have, besides, old Yucatan!
We're on our way, sc.
Meanwhile our brethren in the West
Will for our nation do their best,
And when they've ended their long journey
Our flag will float in California.
We're on our way, &c.

We're sailing on in Freedom's barge,
Our God is good and we are brave,
From tyranny the world we'll save.
We're on our way, sc.
We have mission to fulfil,
And every drop OF blood we II spill,
Unless the tyrants Of our race
Come quail before our eagles face.
We're OH our way, sc.
He is thrice armed whose quarrel's just,
And we fight now because lDe must,
And any force that would us stop,
Down to the earth must surely drop.
We're on our way, sc.
John Bull may meddle if he please,
But he had better keep at ease,
For we are strong by sea and yland--
If he don't mind we'll have old Ireland.
We're on our way, sc.
So every honest volunteer
May now come forth-the coast is clear;
We ask no odds, for we are bent
On having this whole continent.
We're on Dur way sc.

Well bravely fight in Freedoms cause,
And though the world may take the field,
To otyrants we will never yield.
We're ON our way, &c.

Has smiled upon our stripes and stars;
And spite Of any ugly rumors
Wen vanquish all the Montezumas!
We're on our way to Matamoras,
On our way to Matamoras,
On our way to Matamoras,
And we'll conquer all before US!
