The COLLECTION OF THE REvENUE.-The New

lief of the merchants of all our seaboard cities, who
are suffering great loss and Inconvenience in conse

Yesterdays Crescent enumerases the principal
articles subject taxation in this State twill be
observed thas very large number Of objects Of value
are exempt from bearing any Of the burdens Of gov
ernment Furniture, iewelry, articles of vertu, pic
tures, ssatnes, tine cothes-a these go scot free
What good reason is there for this a tax is the
money paid By property to support The government
which gives, and maintains its existence. Without
government there could be no accumulation Of labor,
which constitutes wealth. Ii man chooses to in
vest his money in watches or trnkets he ought to
nav a tax on the amount of this investment. So if
a man, 70 crafty his love of art, or his vanity,
chooses to invest large sum in paintings, he ought
as much to pay the government for its protection
Of his stock in Vanity Fair for that in city stocks
The expenses Of the government should be borne
by property without discrimination. Such is the
language Of our constitution. Such is the spirit Of
our institutions. Yet, in fact, the practice is in
direct contradiction to the theory. There are hou-
SEES in this city sumptuonsly furnished-we are glad
that it is so fine furniture is low species Of art
We are glad to see men Of wealth INDUCING in these
Injuries they furnish bread to the families labor
ing men it encourages the cultivation of taste and
refinement among the artisans.
The luxuries of the rich are the pleasant minis
ters TO the necessities Of the poor:
We will be brave, Pufe, now we have the med cine
My meat shall come In IN Indian shells,
Dishes of agat, set in gold and studded
With emeraids, sapphires, hyacinths and rubies

Headed with diamond and earbunele
MY shirts
I'll have Of tafieta, sarsnet, soft and light
As eobwebs: and for all my other raiment,
L shall be such might provoke Persian,
Were he to teach the world riot anew
But at the same time we see no good reason fol
the law to discriminate in fapor of the RICH nor
should it in favor of the poor Let taxation fall on
all alike. If one chooses to buy books, another
pictures, another stocks, the government should not
interfere with either As it is now, the man who
withdraws his capital from trade is relieved from
taxation. Ifthere is to be discrimination, tshould be
against idle capital II the Legislature would obey
the constitution and make taxation Uniform, it
would extend its circle, and diminish the burden on
the active capital and industry of the State. The
municipalities, TOO, could add to the list of taxable
articles, and force the wealth invested in pur-
pie and fine linen to pay its honest proportion Of
The public contributions.
On this subject we lortify ourselves with pre-
cept from that book which all may read with profit,
for its lessons Of worldly as well as divine instruc-
ton
