thought be will do so 10 short tim. Il will
be observed that Mr.. Compton takes the same
view advanced by the TINES some weeks ago,
that it will not be SAFE for the Democrats OF this

Inc state FOR gam, to car y away more money
than they leave. The law therefore requires,
first, that they shall pay n license fee; second,
that they ShAl, pay a heavy tax on their year
ly income; and last, though not least, the
men VINO furnish the capital Of the company
require a better interest than can he realized
in uaukS. Now all this extra expense must he
borne 10y the parties insured whereas in the
Mutual, nothing is paid but the losses, as in
