Many papers, professedly in iayor of the
Union, are making great outcry in favos Of
peace, but are careful not to Indicate the Kind
of compromise they would propose or accept

peace by unconditional submission, and on no

The TAX ON LAID AID on OlpfShI. !
The Fnquircr, whose n>eanness Of spirit is
only Hta,che,l by itshyRocrisy, has been trying
TO excite pubic7olium against the direct taxa ;
tion prov tiad for by Congress, on the ground
that it is extremely bHtdensome and grossly
unjust TO Etrc agricuturizts OF the West. Now
in point Of fat, the direct tax falls with far
less Yeight on the farmers of the West than
on the capitalists. Of the East. Lock se9s "a tho
