Mr.. Shaw, a Democratic Repre-.
sentative in tho Legislature of this
State, offered a string of whereNses
and resolutions in tho House, in.
strueting Congress to pass a law to
r1pudiate our government indebt
tednesss The principal resolution
II as follows; Er- a
ResoIved By the General 1sSem
bly, Of the state Of Ohio, That our
Representatives In Congress are re-
quosted, aud our Senators instruct.
ed, to vote against oil measures in.
tepded TO perpetuate the national
debt, and that they adopt measures
WHICH shall provide, that as soon
Is the present Interest being paid
on the bonds, shall have amounted
to the sum actually obtained BY the
Government from It's creditors, IN
gold, and q fair interest on the
same, payment shall cease, and The
remainder Of the pretended obliga,
ton be absolutely and forever can

The resolutions were laid on the
table, and ordered to be printed ---
No homes, man wants our public
debt pepetuated indefinitely, nor
any longer than to period when
the people can pay II without ruin
to themselves and the business
transactions Of the country. Nor
does Mr Shaw want Congress TO
adopt suchmeasurer Of repudiation
as be recommends. Tue whole
move Is a miserable attempt at
"5aacom6." The aathor aud the
movers in this, wish TO produce an
impression that they are the only
friends Of the people, and that the
Republicans are striving to fasten
upon them a perpetual government
debt.

Who Nays the Governn ent Rev
enueP

ol Or Democratic friends tell US
a2tttt the poor men OF the country
pay this tax. There may be more
o truth in this assertion than is at first
apparent. Somebody pays these
9it>xes and the poor men Of the
country, perhaps, pay as much, or
more, than the rich on some arti-
cleS that they and everybody else
b'would be better of without for the
articles upon which they pay the
heaviest duty, are loathing curse
" both rich and poor. These arti-
eles are Whisky aud Tobacco aud
thc man who spends all his earn
ings for these articles, debases the
image Of his God, aud beggars his
family. And it is this class of men,
and those who are following close
I'll their footsteps, who complain
most that they are crushed to the
earth under the weight of Cover
ment taxes,
In conversation with a business
friend in this town a few days since
a
on this subject, who has been max
ing Investigations to ascertain the
amount oftojacco, cigars, whisky
ard its kindred beverages sold in
Washington per week, he asked US
what we supposed the amount of
government taxes was upon these
articles sold in our town, per week.
Our ideas upon thispoint were very
vague. We knew the amount must
be large, but had no definite ideas
on the subject, and could give him
no answer. He then informed us
tat uc had made an invcrtigation
into the amount Of these articles
sold here in a week at the different
establishments, aud of the duty they
paid the Government; and as re-
suit OF these Investigations, he in
formed US that the duty paid on
these articles was 81, 700 per week
which, multiplied by 50, gives us
the enormous sum Of Ejghty-etght
Thousand -Four HNadl'ed Dollars
per year. This amount, of course,
does not pass through the hands of {
the Revenue Collector for our coun.
ty; but the duty is paid before the
articles 60 into the hands of our
retailers, and is then added to the {
cost Of the article, the revenue on
some articles being the greater por. ,
ton Of the cost Of the article to the
unfortunate consumer,
Now the tax on these articles is
scIfimposed. No man need to pay
them unless lie chooses, for their
use Is not necessary to the sus.en.
ance or even the comforts of life. +
There is NO man but would be {
better of by total abstinence from
tile use ofeither whisky or tobacco, =
and could better afford to pay the n
same amount Of money to the Gov t,
ernmcnt in some other way, less in Il
furious, or wholly uninjurious, to y
his physical and moral condition.

Anna had a good house, acquitted
herself creditably, and left lasting
impression upon the minds of her
audience, The General was not SO
fortunate. A theatrical troupe drew
away a majority ofpleasure- seekers
and he was compelled to address
vacant seats until a committee could
drum up a respectable audience byl

eral would have been greeted by Al
