CINCINNATI, Feb. 81, 1851.

OlNClNNAIl, FeO. II, 1901.
Mr.. EDIToR-On yesterday we had up
the report of the committee on finance and
taxation. A pretty stringent rule of taxa
ton for banks was adopted. | am not
much acquainted with bank taxation, but
it is pretty searching. A provision was
adopted to tax State and United States
bonds, in the hands ofcreditors. Imoved to
strike out United States bonds. When the
Government lays tariff of thirty per cent.
upon cloth, the man who buys il pays both
the price and the thirty per cent. tax;
this tax is in fact added 10 the price,
Whoever borrows money pays the interest
and tax both. A tax upon loans signifies
nothing to the lender. The Government
of the Union will never borrow except in
time of war. 1t has no money of its own.
When it borrows every man, woman and
child in the Union is the debtor and must
help TO repay the principal and interest,
and under this system must help to repay
the principal interest and tax. The best
informed men are Of opinion that there
are not one hundred thousand dollars
worth of United States bends held in Ohio.
New York holds more than three millions.
She can tax the United States thirty times
as much as we can, and having one tenth
of the population of the Union we must
pay one tenth of the taxes. So that even
in the game with a single State we lose as
three to one, that is, we gain one, we lose
three. But every General Assembly in the
Union can tax US as well as New York.
So that we in reality subject our people to
be taxed by thirty Assemblies In the Union
The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1851-03-05

ance article was finally passed, forty-five
to thirty-nine. The article is short. The
traffick in ardent spirits is never to be IL
osnsed; but the General Assembly may
provide against the evils arising therefrom.
The whole subject is completely in the
power ofthe General Assembly if we leave
it out of the constitution. | still think it
unadvisable TO go into such minute legis.
lation. We thereby encounter more diff.
culties than we otherwise might.
But we have one article that is good
and judicious one. That is the General
Assembly can at any session submit a sin
gle proposition to the voters, which when
accepted by majority of them is to be
part of the constitution. This affords an
easy remedy if any thing wrong gets into
the constitution. We can thus vote il out.
II will not do to oppose the constitution on
account of some Objectionable features.
The constitution will not be so good as |
once hoped it would be, but it will be bet.
ter than the old one, and we have easy
means OF amendment.
We have engrossed the Article on com.
mon schools to-day. While in committee
of the whole, some amusing anecdotes
were told. Mr.. Barnet of Montgomery,
told us of tall, native youth, about twen.
ty years of age, who in reply to the ques-
ton, "what is vowel" replied thatit was
rarmont that carried off chickens at
night. Mr.. Leadbetter, of Holmes, is, it
appears, school examiner. Last year a
tall customer appeared before him, in the
character of veteran schoolmaster, for
examination. How many sounds has the
letter A. says examiner Leadbetter, zone
sir" Why. how many vowel sounds in
our language-O, that's the darndest fool.
ishest question | ever heard in my life. 1t
is difficult 10 transfer to paper the humor,
the wit with which these anecdotes were
told. They occasioned hearty laughter.
| shall write again soon. mailed one
this morning.
Respectfully, &c.

CINCINNATI, FEB. %, 1851.
Mr.. EDIToR-My last was written yes.
terday morning, when we were consider
ing the tax article. One provision pro-
posed, was a meeting house and church
tax. ! was opposed to this meeting house
tax. 1t is vexatious and not levied on
proper subject 1t failed by vote of II
yeas, to sixty odd nays .t
We are now on the business of appor-
tionment. For the House of Representa-
tives the population of the State is always
TO be divided by one hundred. This. with
our present population makes 1890 to
one Representative. in round numbers
twenty thousand. This is the ratio and
every county having one half the ratio is
to have one representative As the ratio
is to be settled every ten years at the time
of the federal census, the fractions above
the ratio are TO be multiplied by five, the
number of sessions in ten years and the
fractions are thus to be represented. In
this manner Monroe will have one member
all the time, and two members at the third
and fourth sessions That is Monroe will
ho'S chC uuu tWO-llltuS.
one member and three -ffths. But coun-
ties having a ratio and three -fourths are to
have two members. Then the largest coun-
ties are to have the benefit of their ratios
and fractions only. There is some inc.
quality in favor Of the counties having
ratio and three-iourths, but it so happens
that only three such counties exist in the
State, Licking, Montgomery and Stark,
and Stark has 39,888, and is therefore en-
titled to two, within hairs breadth. The
inequality in favor of the small counties is
greater, but they will grow. have ar
gued the matter industriously, but the small
counties will prevail. Nothing human is
perfect. The new constitution will not be
perfect, but in our actual situation it is in
finitely better than the old We must not
60 into opposition for every little fault.
Guernsey and Monroe are to be put in
one Senatorial District.
