deavours to continue the tax ; but , to the surprise of every one , when the question came to a decision , they were left-in a minority , the majority exceeding it by thirty-seven . Thus was an end put to this odious tax , which © flfended ^ aJI the principles of just and equitable taxation , and could be
maintained only on the same principles , that in a town besieged every man miist part with his property of any kind according to the state of the place . One great objection to the tax
was the advantage given to the landholder above the person who gained his livelihood by the sweat of his brow . Both were made to pay out of the same annual income the same
sum to government , though their situations were materially different , and this advantage was < nven exactly contrary to true principles : for the landholder ought not to obtain an advantage over his countrymen , inasmuch as his security is so much the greater . But the world , and this country in

Formerly peace -and plenty were considered as blessings , for which we could not be sufficientl y thankful to Divine Providence . Different principles are now promulgated , and Ion 2 faces are seen because corn
is cheap . A smile covers them on the rise of the markets . These inconsiderate persons do not reflect , that plenty carries with it blessings-on all classes . Could they raise the markets
to the importation standard , the country would not be a gainer , and the only points would be to enable the landholder to keep up his war-rents and to increase the poor-rates . But the subject is of great extent . We shall continue to be thankful to God
