Tne Four DoIIar Communication
Tax-WhO Pays TIT

Tho negro papers all over the State are
defending the odious and oppressive law
BY which this infamous tax is fastened
upon the people. on the pretext that it
affords protection to persons and property.
The utter falsity of the assumption is
so apparent, that brief statement of the
facts in the case is all that is necessary.
The law compels all citizens between the
ages of eighteen and forty-6ve years to
pay four dollars communication tax, or en-
list in the National Guard and if the
party applying for membership in the
Guard is known to be Democrat, he is
blsck-bslled and can't get in. BY the
adroit management of tho Abolition dem
agogues in the Legislature, the burden of
this iniquitous law has been thrown
chiefly upon the members of the Democ-
ratio party but SO outrageous is its opera
ton that few il any respectable citizens
can be found to defend it. Now and then
bebased negro-worshipper, who has sunk
himself below the level Of his idol, and
expects toraise himself by clinging to the
wool Of Sambo, will be heard to advocate
its continuance on the statute book. Even
these cases are rare.
But the most important consideration OF
all is, that this poll tax falls almost en-
tirely on the poor men of the State-the
men the least able to bear it. At least
two-thirds of those liable for its payment
have no property whatever to protect, fol
it is notorious that the men who have
amassed wealth and need protection to
property---if, indeei, any protection Is
needed--are generally above the age Of
forty-five and pay none Of this tax. But
this is on par with all the Legislation
of the Abolitionists, which is. in fail
way to be wiped out next winter by I
Democratic legislature,
