rated. The people of Nebraska have alrea-
dy suffered severely on account Of the circu-
lation of i%rredemable paper. This subject is
committed to your earnest consideration, that
the people whom you represent may be pro-
tected, as far as possible, from future losses.
Congress, at its last session, 10 providing
means to be used n putting down rebellion
IN a numeer of tho Southern States Of the
Union, levied adirect Tax on the people
The Constitution Of the United States pro-
vides that direct taxes shall be levied by con-
gress in proportion to population. The pro-
portion assigned to Nebraska amounts toniue-
teen Thousand three hundred and twelve dol
lars. This tax may be assessed and collect
ed by officers to be appointed by the S%ecreta-
~ of the TrOasuryfor may be assumed BY the
Territorial Government. In the latter case,
a deduction of fifteen por cent, from the gross
amount will be allowed to the Territory. l.,
therefofe recommend that you mike the
necessary provision fer the collection by ad-
ding the gross amount to the tax levy for
the coming year 70. Territorial purposes, or
that you make such other provision for its
payment as your wisdom may devise. AL
though the sum to be raised is comparatively
large, we should not hesitate to bear our part
of the burtben.
Each Que should be willing to exert him
self to the utmost to avert the danger which
now threatens the Union. We would be un-
worthy descendants of the good and great
men who pledged their property and their
lives tosecure our free institutions, If we hes
itate to make any sacrifice necessary fol their
preservation. The patriotism of those who
assist our country now, when sheis defending

flag and those Institutions which have desceu-
ded to us from the hands of Washington,
will be held in grateful remembrance by She
great and good everywhere, and their
will descend with imperishable honor to pos
terity, for having aided in preserving to their
country and the world, in its original integri-
ty and vigor, the freest and best government
