I,ightening the Burthen.

The northern papers are with great ear
ncstness and unanimity urging upon tne
Government the immediate and large re-
ducsion Of taxation, and yet those tney
represent pay no such taxes as the oppressed
people Of this State pay. Every planter
sees that the product Of his industry IN the
tnrm of manufactured tobacco Is taxed tour
mr. five times as much as he receives for 1t.
Every hundred pounds of such tobacco pays
,h;rty-two dollars to the Government. The
Government collectors report that IN the
list nine months the tobacco tax in Virginia
has Welded the aggregate of S2,S11,s23.SS.
This is heavy imposition upon Viz
ripia. It is that much more than lssaddled
upon the people of other States. 1t is no"
the onlv specific tax upon the production OF
the country and as it is put upon people
whose calamties in the Lutte war leit them
IMPOVERISHED more than any other people
in the Union, it leaves US to wonder whether
the policy with which they are treated l.
that in proportion as people Is poor then
taxes must be increased-a kind OF slldlne
scale that can only be maintained because o
the poverty and helpless minority OF I'M
people who are its victims, and which cal
lind no justification or apology upon an!
principle of justice or fairness.
Whether Congress may be induced to ex
anime the matter with some reference u
reason and humanity we cannot say; bu
we spprehend that the heavy revenue ifon
tobacco, of nearly three millions in min
months from Virginia alone, will 60 far
shut the ears of the National Legislator
to any appeal that the burthened peopi
who paid it may address to them.

THE ELECTION IN TENHEssEE.-Nashu,lls,
December lS.-The election to-day for
members of the Constitutional Convention
passed off quietly. The utmost Indifference
was manifested by the voters. The polls
were open In only five of theten city wards.
In these, ,149 votes were cast for the con-
ventiou and one against it.
Edgefeld gave forty-six for the conven-
ton. The voters absented themselves from
the polls because they were not certain that
the action of the convention would be con-
sentative, and the opponents Of the con-
vention did not vote.
Under the law authorizing convention. a
majority of the. votes cast is to. prevail,
and the convention will be held. Inc
apathy exhibited in this city does not gene
rally prevail in the State.
Memphis, December 1S.-Ehe vote to-day
was ii h:. and but little interest was mani
tested. The vote Of the city is: For the
convention, 2,571 against the convention,
224. In Brownsville the vote was 346 for
and fifty against the convention.
