Taxes, for the year 1856, on all personal

E. c. HENDERSHOTT, Treas.
We copy the above receipt from the
last "Weston Herald.'' Mr.. Dau Lhertv
resided i'll Weston, Va.,-we know. him
will, and it is for this reason that we make
use Of the above document The advo.
Gates of distribution in the last canvass
pertlnaciously insisted that that was the
only remedy for tile high taxes, and this
appeal TO the ''pocket nerve" of the tax
payers. twas thought, would induce the
voters to abandon principle and adopt the
measure. The experience of every Wes-
tern State furnishes an argument against
distribution, which shows conclusively
that no amount of public lands received
by them has had the effect oIreducing the
taxes in these States. On the contia
the reverse is the fact. Iowa has received
large grants Of the public lands, and yet
the taxes in that State are 90 per cent.
higher than in Virginia. Those persons
who are emigrating from Virginia to avoid
high taxes will find no relief. in the Wes-
tern States-it is q consequence of The
system of improvements adopted by each,
and il it operates with some hardship up
ON the tax payer, he should remember
that the value Of his estate is enhanced
that lie has crater facilities TO market, and
is, therefore, the more able 10 pay.
We have often wondered why so many
Of our people removed to the far. West,
when there are thousands upon thousands
of acres OF unoccupied territory at home.
Our climate is heaIthy-far more so than
in many ofthe Western States-the lands
are as productive, and when the improves
ments now in progress are completed, the
access 70 market will be as convenient.
Besides this, the lands in Virginia are a.
cheap. and when the immense forests. Of
the North, ives. crn part OF the Safe are
cleared away, and the unbounded wealth
of her coal mines ami her iron are more
dIffused, by means Of industry and enter.
prise, then will dawn upon Virginia her
brightest day. and then will the Ola Do
minOn assume the proud rank to which
she is so eminently entitled of being first
in the confederacy Of States. -: .a--
