The Tax Bill.

We publish to-day, document which
interests every citizen OF the State, but will
scarcely afford pleasure to any that peruse it.
The tax bill increases The rates of last year
about fifty per cent. In commenting on it the
Richmond Wing remarks that-"it may be
considered as mere fore-taste of the sweets
which the Democracy have in store for the
people. The party in the Legislature refused
to take any steps with respect to the Coupon
Bond affair, by which the State lost some
three to four hundred Thousand dollars. They
omitted to overhaul the Monument concern.
and adopt measures to prevent further waste
and extra, agance; they made no provision
against the Govern,r's over-drawing the
contingent fund some thirty or forty thousand
dollars they refused to receive the forty
thousand on deposit from the land fund. or
even permit the tax-rdden people to recev.'
it; they refused to authorize our own banks or
people to issue small notes. while the country
is deluged with the worthless shin -plasters of
Washington bankers"

Mr.. FILLMORE AND THE PREsIDENcy.-
Hon. John Barney writes as follows to the N
York Express
Within week have heard from his own
lips, that he considers Mr.. Webster's eminent
services in the devotion Of long life TO the
maintenance and defence of sound republican
principles, as emitting him to eternal graft.
tude--that Mr.. Webster was his first choice
for the Presidency, in preference to himself
and all others. that his elevation would give.
increased confidence in the permanency ofour
institutions. and command the respect of the.
world. This noble evidence of disinterested
maenanimiiy is worthy of all praise and indy
ing gratitude.
l know that since the session of Congress,
he has repeatedly declared that no man was:
authorised to present his name candidate
for re election. and that he was only prevented
announcing its Withdrawal. by the urgent So
licitalion Of friends who have induced him 10.
acquirsce in the decision Of the illustrious
Lowndes. that the Presidency was not to be
solicited nor rejected"

The scriptural adage which teaches us that

dergoing veri6cation in the experience of

people Of Henrico have held meeting and a.
dopied resolutions, strongly condemnatory of
his course. in pardoning the slave Hatcher

have been called. Legislative opinion upon
that act has been stiaed by the Senate, and the
only recourse left for the upholders of the law

Among the resolutions adopted by the Hen
rico meeting. are the following:
'lst. Resolved, That in the late Of the Governor
Of Virginia, ommuting the punishment (Which was e.
quvacnt pardoD) of the slave Jordan Hatcher, who
had been regularly tried and convicted Of murder by
competent aud impartial tribunal for which he had been
condemned to death, we have Witnessed gross mis-
conception of the law, fragrant aluse Of the pardon
ing power, and dangerous precedent II not a; once

Cd. Resolved, That in tie communication Of Gov

aforesaid recognize doctrines suL,esive Of the
relations that have heretofore existed between the
and slave, alike dangerous to peace welfare.
and safety, encouraging characterization. and usri
flying resistance the part Of the slave To the lawful
authority of the master.

of the Governor hold those Of the represen-
tativcs Of the people, I'd the conductors of the public

their efforts defeat Legislative condemnation. and To

O. G. Langdon, OF Mobile.

Welearn that the Mobile Advertiserh has changed
hands, and that C. c. Langdon, who has been for
fourteen years its proprietor and editor has sold
his entire interest to Willis G. Clark, gentleman
of talents and experience, by whom it will con-
tinue to be conducted as "a sound and orthodox
Wing paper"
His retirement from editorial life, Mr.. Langdon
says, is probably forever" The New Orleans
Picayune thereupon remarks that "the profession
thereby sustains great deprivation. We have
known him well, personally and professionally,
for many years, and the knowledge enables us to
say, not In the language of mere courtesy, but in
all sincerity Of esteem, that the Wing party in
the South has had no ADLER or more effective
champion; and no party contains a more esti-
mable, warm-hearted, and generous gentleman.
He has our warmest wishes for success in what
ever pursuit Of life he may hereafter engage"
We unhesitatingly assent to what is here said.
Mr.. Langdon is indeed gentleman worthy Of
honor in every position in life.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct 8, 1852
TO the Editor of The Daily american Telegraph.
DEAR SIR Having seen the following state
ment in the Union of October 7, 1852, viz:
PERFECTLY CRUsHING.--We clip the following
paragraph from the Washington Journal of Sat.
urday. 1t is crushing exposure of Scott's
blarney during his electioneering campaign in
Ohio:
a General SCOTS Consistency. would be
amusing, were it not humiliating, to compare the
.blarneying' tone now adopted by General Scott
towards foreigners, with his former course and
bearing towards the same persons. The rich
brogue' Of an freshman Mt Cleveland threw the
General into ecstacies. He actually 'loyed' tit
reminded him of how Irishmen had fought side
BY side with him in Mexico, &c. Now, to show
the total nsincerity of this it is only necessary
to turn to one of his letters to recruiting officers,
written during the war in 1S47. The following
IL an extract:
"'You are instructed not to enlist foreigners,
for the battalion of st. Patrick has taught US that
foreigners cannot be trusted
"This was at late period, and not at the
commencement Of the war. What has since
changed his opinions? Not the Mexican cam
paign, certainly; for that was nearly over when
he SO broadly asserted that foreigners cannot be
trusted And this 10 the man who is now trying

II beg you will deny it, in my name, as utterly
and unqualifedly false. was one of General
Scotts aid de-camps during the Mexican war,
and hare continued in that capacity to this time.
The only instructions given by General Scott to
recruiting officers were to report to certain of
fcers in the United States, viz: General Brooke,
at New Orleans, and the Adjutant General of the
Army at Washington, D. c., &C., sc. All other
instructions to recruiting officers were issued
from the Office Of the Adjutant General at Wash
ingtont; and, on inquiry there, am authorized
to state that no such instructions were issued
from that Office. IF any such instructions were,
howsvst ISSUED from the Adjutant Generals Of
noe, II could only have been done with the sane
ton Of President Polk or Mr.. Secretary of War
Marcy, under which Adjutant General Jones, is
sued orders during the absence of General Scott
In Mexico.
The utter folly of 80 doing, in time of war es-
pecially, is sufficient to stamp this puyportiag to
be an extract from General Scott's instructions,
as base forgery. | reiterate--the statement is
utterly false!
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
SCHUYLER HAMILTON,
