EF- The bill to repeal the 10th h'hnd 1lth
sections of the tax law, now in force, was read
third time, and passed; yeas so, nays 3d.
The tenth and eleventh sections which this
bill repeats is that part of the present tax law
which allowed the deduction of debts from
monies and credits. Judge Burchard oppos
ed the passage of the repeating bill on the
ground that he believed the decision of the
Supreme Court was wrong, and that there
would soon be a Supreme Court that would
reverse the decision of last winter. He
thought the Constitutional Convention never
Intended any such result as proposed by the
bill. He was in favor of allowing tax payers
the right of testing the question before the
courts. If this bill is passed, he said, the door
for this redresss closed This is sensible
view tthe subject. But, alas, for the poor
tax-ridden citizens Of Ohio, Judge Burchard
nor any other being has power or influence
enough to stop Democracy in its mad career.
Samson like, they raze the pillars though they
themselves are destroyed beneath the gener-
al ruins.
Since the above was in type we learn by
Mr.. Dickinson, our Representative, that the
bill repeating the 10th and llth sections oi
the Tax Law, was lost in the Senate. So the
! Old Tax Law remains the same. Whether
the Auditor of State, will instruct the levy &c
be made in accordance with the law, or the
decision of the Supreme Court, remains to be
seen.

re- The late storms have been very de-
structye to the shipping interests, both on the
lakes and ocean. On the 9th ult, Chicago
was visited by the most violent gale ever ex-
perienced at that place. Two Schooners
were driven ashore and dashed to peices total
losses Seven lives lost. At New York the
new Caoric ship Ericsson, on trial trip down
the bay was caught, on her return in storm,
and sunk in eight fathoms Of water. Several
sloops lying near the Battery were driven
ashore. One ship was struck by lightning
A lighter with iron was sunk and one man on
board was drowned.
The city also suffered by the effect of the
storm. Houses were unroofed, new building'
in course Of construction, were much damaged
In Jersey City the Custom House was un
rooted.

We learn that a man-name unknown

it had got out Of the way. When they ar
rived at Fremont they found upon the cow

which excited suspicion that they had run
over man. These facts were communicat

perils of NAVIGATION.

The advantages of this contract need scarcely
be urged upon wealthy men or merchants, for they
rarely neglect it, and if they do, fires leave them
other resources. II is especially valuable to la
boring men, mechanics, and others of moderate
means--who, perhaps have little else than home
and its contents in the world.
These should never neglect to insure;a fire which
may visit them at any hour, would leave them
homeless, and with no capital but their labor, to
begin again the struggle of life, and years of toll
and watching must pass before they can regain
what they have lost, if indeed it is ever DONE
To such, insurance is duty. If the individual
is worth little, the expense is less; If he owns
much property, still the expense istrfling, and by
investing a few dollars he is safe If he is over
taken by misfortune, and his all laid in ashes, he
receives recompense in cash capital equal to
his loss, and may soon restore what has been de-
stroyed.
