The Immunltle3 a Slavery.

lax Shareholders for their slaves We believe
Gotten has thus far also been excluded from this
bllI. Various excuses are given tor thus saving
what constitutes the chief wealth of the South
from paying taxes The Border State men. aud
She Democrats yo1e against all such measures
because they are Abolition" measures
Northern symplthizers with Slavery vote in the
same way for similar reasons. Republicans vote
ag~ii>t them because they deem them nexped-
lent, or unconstitutional, and So in one way and
another, for different reasons, Slavery escapes
the punishment that the people would vis, upon
It,
1t may De unconstitutional to tax master
TWO dollars for every slave he owns, and at the
same time tax every man who carries watch,
or owns a carriage that or q larger sum for
chose articles OF property,-we don't argue tie
constitutional pont-but we arc well satisfied
that ii 1t cant be done in this way it should be
done lii some other way. We have shown before
that the indirect tax would be much heavier
proportonately upon the North than upon the
South, and have argued that the only true
method Of taxation was upon property, as taxes
are raised chiefly in this State ; and when sthe
loyal States are Compelled to pay three fouLtas
or more o! the hundred millions indirect tax in

they will begin to see che force Of the arguments
that would make Slavery bear at least its share
