-'The State Taxes .

There is a strong effort being made by
the Richmond Wing, and we are sorry to
see that the'tAmericans," of Westmore--
land county, lend their voices to the cry
as appears by their proceedings publish
ed in the Gazette to hold the Deneocra-
tic party responsible for the presen Mt in
crease of taxes in our State. Il is by
such unjust attempts to use the passions
of the people, that politics are degraded
into dangerous demagogism.. - -.
The increased taxes are necessary to
pay the debts Of the State. These debts
were contracted by subscriptions to works
of acknowledgements. These SUBJ
scriptionsawere askedfOr, and voted for,
by all parties in the State, or rather by
the citizens, without respect to party. In
deed, as the Richmond Enquirer truly
observes, the Wings have claimed a
greater ,unanimity, and therefore superior
merit over the Democrats, in voting these
subscriptions, and made it a ground "of
favor with the people. Now, pay day
has come. We must pay, or VIC must
repudiate. Nobody wants the State to
repudiate. OF course then, we must pay.
We can't pay without the money. We
can't get the money, except by taxes.
And yet, because it is Democratic Le-
gislature which has to levy these taxes,
rendered necessary by former subscrip-
tions,-the parrot cry is raisedi and the
Democratic party sought to be slandered
with the odium. We fearlessly trust the
case to the people. We ask aIl,-Demo>
Gratis, Wings and Americans,-if they
would have had the Legislature do other
wise than raise the taxes under the cir
cumstances ?? Was it not right2 and if
right, should it not bring them honor in
stead of odium ? Ifblame attaches any,
where, it is to those who created, and not
to those who pay the debt.
We are sorry, too, to see that there is
disposition to magnify the exigencies of
cur finances. A formidable array is pre-
sented by the Westmorelanders, of ex-
hausted treasury. impaired credit, &c +;
and the "double taxes" which will re-
plenish our treasury and restore our credit,
instead of being held up as remedy for
the other ills, is added to the number as
making the sum impossible. This may
do for party cIap>trap, and may impress
silly people but it is not the candor and
the justice and the truth which We have Il
right to expect of good citizen and fellow
Virginians. We appeal TO all parties to
rebuke it, Virginia Sentinel.

REs1sTAEcE TO THE VIRGINIA SEARCH
LAVA correspondent of the South
Side Democrat. writing from Hampton,
Va. of the 18th inst. about the seizure
of the schooner Maryland. for the refusal
of the captain to permit a search, says:
There was plot entered into bv
several northern vessels lying at the Bav,
to resist tho law of inspection and to aid in
nulIifying-its object. AParty from these
vessels attempted to board one. OF our pi-
lot boats with cowhides and bludgeons,
for the purpose Of making personal repri,
sails. but were most effectuaIlly resisted,
as they will ever be in their ubiquitous
course. Such is the hostility manifested.
that the pilots have found it necessary to
desire the Inspector General to apply to
the Governor for arms to protect them
selves and to enable them TO. carry out
the purpose Of the law more effectually.

surgents at Peubla had surrendered 10
the forces of President Commonfort has
already been announced. 1t appears that
all the officers of the insurgents have
been reduced to the ranks as common
soldiers. Commonfort has issued q de-.
cree, placing the ecclesiastical property
ofPeubla, valued at $50, 900, 600, under
government control, and its revenue will
be appropriated to. the reimbursement of
the Republic for the expense of the cam,
paign. The clergy of Peubla, who are
charged with exciting the. rebellion, will
suffer to the tune of some three millions
Of dollars. Comonfort on his return to the

never before witnessed. All the streets
were gaily decked with flowers and ban
ners, and he received unanimous vote
of thanks from Congress. d.,
