INDIRECT IAXATIoN.-Ihe mass of our
indirect taxes are, by sort OF necessity taxes
on those who are the least able TO bear them
contrvances to squeeze the aborng classes,
and allow the pOssessors Of prncely fortu-
hes to escape on the payment of an lnsignlfi-
cant proportion of their abundance. There
are duties in our tariff as much more obiec-
tlonable on this account than the duty on
tea and coffee, as that is more Objectionable
thar direct tax, and if the whole catalogue
OF them were struck out Of the statute book,
custom houses abolished, and direct taxes
substituted, collected and paid over to the
general government by the tax gaiherers Of
the states, the day on which that great re-
form was consumated would deserve TO be
celebrated with solemn thanksgiving.
The people, we think, will come to this
conclusion at last it is certain that at pres
ent they are upon the right track. They
who always net as if the public would never
understand It's own interests; who take it
for granted that mistakes in regard 10 the true
policy of a government. once rooted Will
never die out in a republic, proceed upon a
false idea, and are the most egregious of poiit-
zeal blunderers. The part Of manly holiness
in this question Of direct tax is the polite
course also. A strong appeal to the good
sense of t c nation, on this. point, may be
successful now, and if it is not, the seed is
thrown on gool ground. and will bear frut
hereafter. FIVE Should be obliged to lay
up our sickes without reapng the expected
harvest OF reform, it will be gathered in by
