MONROE. La, OCTOBER 9.

Tur SAT- TAx.-Our New England
brethren have a marvellous tact IN es-
Gaming from the general burdens which
the rest of US bear. Thus, a few years
400. when they induced the govern
ment to levy a tax on cotton grown IN
this country, they carefully exempted
themselves from their just share OF the
tax. by providing that the tax should
he refunded on such cotton as was
manufactured in this country. AS they
themselves were the chief manutac
t.rers of cotton in this country, the
latter provision was only cunning
nrovision for their special benefit.
The salt tax is another case in po'ht
This tax is 18 cents per hundred
mounds. on salt in bulk, and "a cent;
Der hundred pounds on salt in sacks
an exorbitant tax on one OF the neces'
saries of life, of about so per cent; OF
its prime cost. But New England IT.
self uses a large quant:ty of salt II
curing tho fish which it sends to tn
West. and the tax would weigh
heavily on New England as on othe
regions, if made general. Inc ia'
therefore was made to exempt from IA
such foreign salt as is used in preserv
ing fish caught at sea. The prete1
for this exemption was that the Ne
England fisheries needed rrotec.io
to enable them to compete with 1o'
eirn fisheries.
