1--WE can inform Jonsihan what are the
inevitable consequences oi being too iond
Of glory-iaxes upon every article which
enters into the mouth or covers the back
or is placed under the foot; taxes upon
every thing whirh il 10 pleasant to see,
hear, feel. smell or taste: taxes upon
warmth, light aud locomotive; taxes up
on every thing on earth and The waters
under the earth; on every thing that
comes from abroad or is grown At home

industry Of man: taxes on the ssnce
which pampers mans appetite and the
drug that restores him 10 health; on the
ermine which decorates the judge, and the
rope which hangs the criminal; on The
poor mans salt, and the rich mans spice;

arms Of an apothecary who has paid H.

lege of putting him 10 death. His while
property is then Immediately taxed from

large fees are demanded for burying him
in the chsncel; his virtues are handed
down 10 pos,eriiy on taxed marble, and he
is then gathered TO his fathers TO be taxed
no more. In addition 10 all this the habit
Of j ling with large sums will make the
Go ,rnmeni avaricious and proluse, and
the system itself will infsllibly generate
the base vermine Of spies and informers,
and sill more pesiiIent race Of political
tools and reiainers OF The mesnest and most
odious description. while The prodigious
patronage which the collecting Of tins

OF Government will invest il with so vast
