At Wing meeting recently held in Boone county, the

We do not intend, now, examine the justice or
propety of this measure, but merely to state, that in
its passage through both branches of the Legislature
was advocated by both Wings and Democrats, and op
posed by Wings and Democrats. On its final passage
in the House, there in favor of it, 80 Democrats
and 2l Wings; against it, II Democrats and ii Wings.
In the Senate, the vote for il, IS Democrats and
Wings; against it, Democrats and Wings. This
was about equal division. considering that the Demo-
had about ory majority in both branches 1t
is an unfair and demagogica mode of treating ques-
tOn, which every honest will despise. Tfthc
sure had been popular, it would have been claimed as
Wing thunder. We shall at future time take up
this law, and show its effect the question of taxa
