The Legislature OF Virginia having just
refused to do anything for the relief of the
merchants Of Virginia from the unjust rate
of taxation which they bear, the Richmond
Despatch says: ''The merchants of the cities
are already oppressed beyond endurance by
tue enormous disproportion of the public
burthens which is thrown upon their shout
ders. There are merchants in our city who
pay fifteen hundred dollars license tax,
whilst 10 the great commercial city Of New
lork such q tax is unknown, and of course
not a dollar paid. |. is the policy Of Vir-
glnia to put down the effect of
her Legislation is to drive her merchants out
Of her own borders, to build up b .ltimOrr,
and other marts of the North, aud having
done this, and filed Northern pouches with
the gold and silver, the siuews Of war that
might have sustained Southern trade, she
turns to and raises i terrific hullahalpp about
