To-day we enter on the publication of another
volume. The Palladium has been enlarged, and
the propTietors have went to considerable ex-
pense in doing it; and we confte ntly look to our
friends for enlarged subscription list, and
prompt payne mt on the part Of all, for REIN
burscment. a man ought not to take paper
unless he intends paying for it'-ths is an honest
way of thinking; and if we thought we had one
subscriber who took our paper and didn't iatend
to fork over the price, why-we'd pay his sub
-cription ourselves and discontinue his paper i'm
mediateiy, But we believe our list IS clear Of
of all such wheel-horse patrons-such hold hack
customers. But STILL there some-who-
huve-not-p;d for the last two, three and four
years. They intend to pay up, we verify be-
lieye Just as soon they can Our list Of prompt
payers-iu-a advance is good one; and we only
wish ALL would adopt this plan-'twould save a
deal of trouble. Our THANKS rendered TO
those who have stood by us for years, and still
support rs; and may the New Year, which IS
about being ushered in, bring peace to our Land,
and plenty TO every door, SO that each man can
say to his neirhbor: Il owe no u "copper"

Of our financial condition We have Pc

column vii be found a valuable table which
we have condensed from IT, We intend
also. in orr next and succeeding Nos. TO
give more valuable statistics
To one matter in particular would we
call attention. in this report. I, viii he
seen that the average rates at which land
i valued IN the State. is an outrage scarce
" II be tolerated Favette stands first,

Fayette is the best land III TN, State; but
we cannot think that il is much superior 10
WAYNE: Vet il is valued much higher
Our friends in Rush would scarcely be
willing - acknowledge that their land is
not worth half as much rs Favette. Vet il
is not valued half as high.
In Dearborn county. there is large
quantity OF good land. but they have a vas,
amount OF third rate land. on the knobs
and hills. Vet it is all valued at III pre than
double as much as the rich lands of Henry.

there is nothing but high hills and deep
ravincs. the land is valued at Sc. I3. while
the rich and fertile lands of old Putnam

In tins way the reader can look over the
entire list, and see the base injustice that
is done To some otthe counties. under the
present system of assessments. We sup
port our government in proportion 10 the
valuation of our lands. and consequently
the burthen> of government are not equal.
There should be IA board of equalization

1t Will be seen also that Franklin is the
sixth county IN the State in the amount OF

lands in this or auv other county. are val
ucd too high; but by process of SWIM
ding. approaching near to perjury. the
assessors in other counties. knowingly and
witully value at less than half they would
