al property, but IS accommodated to the high
prices given for the annual profits. Thus,
no more than one-half per cent. IS laid on
the assessed value, although produce sells
now three or four hundred per cent above
what it formerly did, Tobo. Tobacco
sold FIVE or six years ago for l5s. and 3D.,
now 'tis at 80 and 55. A very considerable
part of the properly I hold is, like yours,
temporary, for my life only; yet see the
propriety of paying my proportion of the
tax laid for the protection of property so
long as that property remains in my posses
sion and derive use and profit from it.
f'When we complained of British taxa
ton we did so with much reason, and there
is great difference between our case and that
of the unrepresented In this country. The
English Parliament nor their representatives
would pay farthing of the tax they impos-
ed on ns-but quite otherwise Their prop
erty would have been exonerated in exact
proportion to the burdens they laid on ours.
Expressions, therefore, without end, and
taxes without reason Or public necessity,
would have been our fate had We submitted
to British usurpation. For my part, [ had
much rather leave my children free than in
possession of great nominal wealth. which
would infallibly have been the case with all
American possessions had our property been
subject to the arbitrary taxation of British
Parliament.
.'With respect to Mr.. Flauntleroy, if he
speaks as you say, it is very good reason
why he ought not to be an assessor. But,
if he should be, the law has wisely previ-
ded a remedy against the mistakes or the in
Justice of assessors, by giyine the injured
party appeal to the Commissioners of the
Tax, which Commissioners are annually
chosen by the freeholders and houskers,
(housekeepers,1 and in the choice of whom
you have as legal right to vote as any 9th
er person. 1 believe there is no instance in
our new government of any unnecessary
placemen; and know the rule is to make
their salaries mo ierate as possible, and even
these moderate salaries are to pay tax. But
should Great Britain gain her point, where
we have one placeman We should have
thousand, and pay pounds where we pay
pence; nor should we dare to murmur, un-
der pain of military execution. This, with
the other horrid concomitants of slavery,
may well persuade the Americans to loose
blood and pay taxes also, rather than sub
NIT to them.

HAwKEsv1LLE, KY, Sept 9, 1857.
&c MEssRs. EDIToRs The following anus
ing incident occurred in our town few
weeks since. 1t viii apply to other locali-
ties as well as this.
A short time since it became necessary
to adopt measures to procure the services of
a minister of the African church in this
place. Accordingly committee was ap-
pointed to wait upon tBrudder Pearce' who
was generally acknowledged to be the most
suitable parsonage to fill that high and hon
orable station) !, and solicit him to accept
the pastorship of their church. They were
informed that he would undertake the labo-
rious task for the very moderate sum of
forty-fve dollars per annum but insignifi-
cant as the price seems, his flock thought it
exorbitant, and peremptorily refused to
give it.
Two or three weeks passed, and, being
unable to get another preacher, it was finally
agreed to pay the stipend, and on the ensu
ing Sabbath the following took place:
Brudder Pearce, we's 'cluded to gin
you forty five dollars to preach for us, said
a benevolent colored individual whereupon
our clerical friend rose and responded:
'Breddren, / can't preach for that price
Why you only axed forty-fve,' cried
a half dozen voices.
''Shore nuff did, breddren, but dat you
know was tree weeks ago, and preachers

reluctance of England to send specie to

no matter what it costs us-for cotton is
king and cotton alone can be had of US
in sufficient quantity to meet the overrul-

Bread may be got elsewhere, and other
things also but cotton is American, and
cotton must be had, and gold must pay for

Summer Evening.

If on thy spirit hath fallen dearth,
Go forth and look on the beauty of earth
Go forth when the sunbeams are in the west,
Ere the buds and blossoms have gone to rest;
When ali is still, save the birds clear song,
And the merry hum of the insect throng.
The golden sunlight is streaming between
TIE heightened shades on the velvet green
The clouds seem motionless pillars of light,
For the wind is lul1ed DER the coming night.
Mid the hush thou wilt hear beautiful voice,
That will say to thy spirit, Rejoice rejoice
Awake thyself to the glory of God,
Receive of the fulness scattered abroad
There's light that will chase the clouds away
Awake, awake, to the glorious day. KATE.

English Tribute to American Rail-
Roads. -

The London (Eng.) Dispatek in com
menting ori the present panic thus speaks TO
the English stoek.holder in our Railroads I:
eve repeat our warning to our readers
not to be bamboozled into throwing away
their American railway securities by the
confused clamor and manufactured rumor
paragraphs and articles .t got mp in Wall
street, and perhaps near home. The game
of the swindiing rogues who have been con-
spring to beat and bang the New York
market will not hold out if it be not fed BY
panic sales of foolish holders. 1t must be
remembered that the average wealth of the
American people is greater than our own
Money is more equally diffused, wages are
higher, the people are more locomotive, and
therefore better customers to the lines
The cost of construction does not average
one-third of that of the English lines
Whatever, therefore, may be the sharper
tricks of American fnanciers, and however
great may be the temporary embarrassments
of stock-dealers in reference to the COM
mand of money, we are very sure that
American railways are safe as investments,
even allowing an ample margin for pecula-
lation. American products are all of the
sort to require large carriage costs to give
them their value. The railroad is the very
life of American commerce and agri-
culture Wouter van Twiaer's battles in
s.Knickerbocker'' sounded in description as
if the very heavens aud earth were war
ring and rushing to ruin /; but when the
nett results came to be '' lotted," there re-
manned only torn hat and a bloody nose.
So we suspect it may turn out with this
American panic. 'sSharp practice" Jona-
