taxation. Thus, for example, when last year the
window duty was repealed and the house duty
substituted, arm-houses were not, as before, eX~
empted, and the consequence is that the better
sort of rural tenants find themselves now rated to
tax they had not paid previously, by the very
act which was great boon to residents in towns.
So, while various classes of duties have been re-
mitted or reduced, those which especially press
ON agriculture have been retained.
In Lord Derby's great Speech of February II,
there Is one profound reflection which those who
Gull themselves free-traders would do we'll to pom

While we admit with entire freedom such ar

small number of articles which enter to an inn

the masses OF our community.
The Manchester gentlemen are bound to tell us
how they reconcile their practice with their pro-
tession. Free-f1ade in its primary meaning, of
which It's modern disciples have strangely lost
sight, signifies the exchange by different coun-
tries OF those commodities which are peculiar to
the growths of each, or for the production of
which each has particular aptitude England is a

the Tree trade which nature has designed to pro-
mote intercourse between the different popula-
lions othe Globe, and to bring all its best products
as necessaries or comforts, or Misunderstanding
the reach OF civilized man; but as there must be
import duties for the sake of revenue the rational
rule would be, one would think, to impose duties
on those commodities which can be produced at
nome, rather than on those which cannot.
A.duty on imported corn, and on agricultural pro-
duce generally, is ustiiabe on free-t trade princi-
pies, rather than duties on products, which are
wholly foreign to our cline.

WONDERFUL DlsCovERY.-The Paramount
(Va.) True Virginan says:
We are informed by Col. Raymond and others,
that portion of regularly McAdamized road
has been discovered the opposite side ofthe river
from this place. We have not seen it ourselves,
but learn that it extends pretty much along the
bank of the river. Its width is about sixteen feet,
and the track well graded. The bed of stone
seems to be about two inches thick, and made pre-
cisely after the plan of our McAdamized roads,
the stone being broken to about the same size as
tn used for our roads. The discovery was made
by the washing away of hill side which parti-
ally covered the road. When, and by what race
of people this road was made, is unknown at the
present day. but it gives evidence of the existence
of population here at some former age of the
world, far advanced in civilizations or at least in
the art of road-making, as ourselves. There was
found in the bed of the road the stump of ches
nut tree, which was ascertained to be $50 years old
at least, and how much older, our informant could
not tell, as the stump was hollow.
Here is food for thought. Who were the peo-
pie that made this road--when did they they
make it-and what has become of them
