Ingenious LOgiC.--VerV.

The Statesman has heen sadly thrown
out by discovering that The proposition Of
the Republicans to divide the payment
oftaxes iIo two parts, is based or. or at
least has the support Of Gov. MedIll re-
commendation. This was damaging the
game Of condemning every thing, right
or wrong. done, or TO be done, by the
Republican General Assembly, But see
how the Statesman picks itself up after
this fail and again pitches in
"In the month Of June, the farmers are
the busiest OF any other season Of the
year and less money to spare. 1t is no
time for them to leave their ploughs, their
meadows, or thar harvest fields, and
travel to the county seats and pay taxes"
lIthis be so, then no harm is done; the
farmer will pay all his tax in December,
as usual. The object however is not 10
6ud the good points in the bill, but to at,
tack it, right or wrong. So hear what
next follows as logical deduction q
course:
"Our laws should, like the dews o.
heaven fall equally upon tho rich and
the poor. They should not compel the
man Of small means from the necessity o
the case, to pay all his taxes at once
while the rich man is not only permit,
ted but rewarded to divide his Such
laws are unworthy the support Of man ol
the blessings ofGod."
Tho farmer, it appears, would lose
money BY two journeys to pay his taxes
1t follows, he would it IA prudent mar
stay at home and save money by the op
srarion. But tho rich man could afford
to take two journeys, and would make
money by it. Why! Because he has ST
large a tax 10 pay that the saving ofinter
est would make it an object l. there 9
remedy for lhisl We see but one, anc
that is for the farmer to pay as large Ia,
as his neighbor The Statesman will as
senlio this if it have any faith in its owl
logic Yes, there is one other remedy
and that is, to excuse the farmer iron
paying .anyIox at ALL Which will tn
Statesman select!
The State loses nothing by the process
under the new law, The farmer lose
nothing. Then who is hurt! Why tn
! feelings OF the Statesman, its sense 0
Justice is offended, because somebody i
not damaged by this bill. Itis though
by some that this savage attack is mean
for MedIl instead Of the General Assem-
bly,. Like enough. %. S, j.
