.TIIE NEXT LEGIsLATURE.

Now that the elections are over and
the people have resumed their labors,
those who have been elected to represent
tho people, in the next Legislature,
should begin to think seriously, and en-
quire earnestly into the condition OF
things. Almost every thinking man will
agree that there is something wrong, that
IS that our State, as a State, and our peo>
pie as o people, are not as prosperous as
they night or ought to be, and yet the
fewest number Of men will trouble them
selves to investigate this matter and see
where the wrong is, The writer as a
citizen Of the State Of Tennessee, holds it
to be the duty Of every member Of the
Iext Legislature, to investigate the con
dition Of things himself, and find out
where the trouble is. and there devise q
remedy. If a majority Of the people
were asked, what the matter is. they
would answer, land so would a great
many of our Legislators ave are
taxed to DEATH and yet if they should
undertake to prove this. by comparing
our with other States, they would
find that this lisa mistake, and that the
amount Of tax paid by Tennesseeans is
not the aus Of their financial condition,
especially is tho last proposition true
since there are only t,co Estates in the
Union, (Pennsylvania and Delaware that
levy and collect a smaller tax on the one
hundred dollars worth Of real estate than
Tennessee, aud only eight out of thirty
seven States, that arc more productive in
s,il. SO we see that there are twenty
eight States that are poorer in point Of
soil than Tennessee, aud yet pay a State
tax running from n dollar up to two
dollars and City cents on the hundred
dollars worth of property while Tennessee,
pays forty cents. Other men insist thai
there is not enough Of our population
engaged in agriculture. This is q mis-
take also, and Of every one hundred PEG,
pie in Tennessee. VIII, have occupations
seventy>three are engaged in agriculture
that is IS per cent Of our working popu
lation are forming.
There are twenty seven States in tb,
Union that have a less number Of thei
populations engaged in agricultur'

seven. running from twelve, 10 ffty-eish
engaged IN agriculture, to. the hundr,
