The Tsx-Gaugs. .

lI|Icent,enoan and a press or two talk aDout
fnv cent, on the hundred dollars value OF
nronerty being all that the people can bear.
Not another cent can they support, It IS said.
How IL this ascertaiped7 Is there tax
gauge In the hands of these persons that tells
accurately VIVA. men can stand in the way
of taxation, and also tells exactly the point
at which resistance becomes duty?
Cart taxpayers pay sixty or seventy
cents rather than see the State continue in
dishonor and the immigrant he driven from
her borders as from q State laboring under n
curse? Notwithstanding the positive teS-
timopy from the men who would seem 10
carry the Language about in their pockets
we believe an increase Of faxes can DE en-
dured.
An increase of taxes Is. after all, the only
way to pay the public debt. II The people
won't stand that, they may as well back OUT
and repudiate.
Gentlemen say the debt must be paid-so
saws the Whig, SO says Judge CocHRAN-but
they ,coat lime. What does time do? 1t
only increases the States obligations at race
horse speed, and would soon run it up so
that Reputation would unavoidably follow.
Then you who say we must pay had better
make beginning at once. or your protes'
sions of devotion to State faith will suffer by
contrast with your acts which threaten re-
pudiat ion as an inevitable consequence.
But. rot satisfied with swearing they won't
60 above fifty cents, many who hold to that
tax as the last that can be endured make
awful threats Of what will happen if those
who oppose their views DON'T "shut up"
Take care" say they, "don't press us. II
.'you do we will light up blaze that will
"sweep the State; OF VIC will not pay taxes
"or we will pass no appropriation BILL"
Tie legitimate answer to threat is de-
flance; and we might Care the thrcatcners to
carry out their threats. There would be no
danger of forcing them by defiance; but il
would be Us idle to defy rs it is to threaten :
since the threats are all bosh.
II the debt is to be paid, why not make
beginning? Or is it that this theme for
party and personal clcctionecrinS must be
kept open for the next State elections! IL
this lust be the object, there is to be confu-
sion worse COMPOUNDED, aud many that so
out for wool will come back shorn.

70 a 'aT an abundance Of money
The rs sss Richmond Wing is restated in
giysppsper yesterday as follows:
ITO make Il sa,oncyl plentiful. or at least
more abundant, as we have before ur2eu'
vou baye but to restore 1t TO its norman cohI
tlition; let Il answer tho simple purl'o"e VI
currency bearing no interest.
Whist sort OF country would that be
where money was so held! We have tried
I to i,na.ioe the condition Of things that
would follow. Let us see.
Money is worth nothing; or, what Is the
same thing, nothing Is paid for the use OF j..
A nan who has it finds it dead capi;ai-held
in constant peril of being lost by robbery,
fire, &c. What is he to do? II he lends it,
tho peril of loss is only increased, for no
matter into whose hands it goes 1t has all
the perils that threaten it when in the hands
OF its owner, and to these is added the tasl-
arc of The borrower. Therefore the holder
so'a not lend. What, then, is he to DO with
1t, burning his hands as 1t does? Invest It IN
property, is the reply. But property other
tban money has become the only means Of
increase, and men will not exchange 1t for
what bears no value. So the money-holder
is Ike man at bagammon who staken up
with q fri! board before him-he cannot en-
ter.
Il, then, would appear that money, the
siDcws Of commerce, could not be loaned for
commercial purposes. The owners would
never lend their money to those in the haz-
a:douS pursuits Of commerce without some
compensation as an insurance against loss
anI the capital Of the country would lie
idle, while the commercial community would
be driven 10 the barbarous expedient of bar
tcr--swapping bull for horse, cow for
several sheep, and hayStack for an ass, etc.
VIC cannot understand how any Man Can
fora moment deem it possible, in any civil
lid land, 10. prohibit any charge for the use
Of money. The Wing speaks OF the i" normal
condition" of money as that when no inter-
CT was paid for the use Of it. We never
heard when that was. Possibly the iron
money Of LYcuKGUs was loaned without in
u tere,t; but more probably tho owner had to
I:!y somebody for storage for his money.
But VIC never heard Of any country or age
in which the precious metals or their repre-
st2at;vcs were loaned without charge.
We grant that there is class of men who
haze boarded money and hid it away in a
nlpk!n,I Ms did the man his talents, or in an
old stocking, OF I'D old cat or coon.skin, or
buried it in the earth. And what Glass is
t,.l? The miser-the lean, hungry, penu-
Iious being whose only occupation is 10 gloat
over lis dormant wealth and hide it from
the world. He gets no interest. He is afraid
to trust anybody, and is finally robbed and
murdered, or dies without having enjoyed
any Of the benefits that money buys-not
even comfortable clothing for his thin and
ln@-ird body.
Wicn il comes to that that Virginia pro-
hiDits an" charge for money, her people will
&c .8c . bold intercourse with the world, and
m,ncy will be entirely banished from her
