OF the Gree1l6Tier Independent for the
assembling of u Democratic State Com

~, on the Both of March next. The
author of this call does not recognize
the assem- blnge in this city on the
SUI OF this month as n Democratic
Convention In the true historical
sense OF that designation. He objects
10 the fact that "Messrs. Smith and
Lamb were active and influential
members" And also to the fact that

the fact that the Convention accepted
West Virginia's Stateship as ian ac-
complished fact" He is not able to see
with what prOPrIety the men who
controlled the Wheeling convention can
complain OF Governor Foreman and
II Radical Congress for violations oil the
Constitution" He still further objects
that "the gentleman who was elected
to preside over that Convention talked
hippuntly about rebels and rebellion"
Aud he asks whether ''the Democrats OF
West Virginia are prepared to submit
10 the leadership of such man."
The Convention at Charleston Is,
among other things, expected to APP
point delegates to the National
Democratic Convention, and they are

appointed by thelnts oonesrn held In

FRoM RICHMOND.

RICHMOND, January S.-In the
Convention to-day the time was
consumed in a discussion of the
third section of the report of the
Committee on Taxation and Finance.
There seemed to be disposition on the
part of the Republicans to remedy In
some way the present unjust and OPP
pressive taxation of the labOring
classes. It was shown that the laws of
the State have heretofore Disseminated
most uDjustly in favor of landholders,
and that the poll taxes were heavier
hthan In any other State in the Union.
IL was claimed that the large landhold-
iers were thus encouraged to hold their
estates, as they were not compelled to
pay tax on them, and that II they were
made to bear an equal burthen of taxa
alton, they would be compelled to
make 1t productive by hiring laborers,
or falling in that, 70 sell the land in
small parcels TO those who could work
1t, and thus add to the material wealth
of the State.
Anumber of substitutes were offered,
and the following was finally adopted
as the third section: THAT the General
Assembly shall be empowered to tax
incomes exceeding $500 per annum, and
authorize licenses on ardent spirits,
theatrical performances, circuses, and
all shows where an admission fee is
charged, commission merchants, and
all persons who sell by sample."
The adoption of this section will re-
heVe merchants, traders and others
who have heretofore paid exorbItant
taxes, and Will necessitate Imposition
OF heavier tax on land in order to
raise the revenue required for the State.
