'J he of taxes is one of the moil
tnfncult that falls under the cognizance of
of a legislative body. Government is ef
ientiaho focietv and therefore must be sup
ported ; taxes are thefore ilidifpenfible ;
and th<- more free the government is, the
more heavy will the neceflary taxes be,
and the more cheerfully will they be paid
by citiaens who know how to appreciate
the blefiings of liberty. But from what
sources lha'l the revenue be derived ? the
firmer justly answers from luxury, and
not, (aslong as can be avoided)'from the
culture of the earth and the labors of the
hulbanti.nan, But what fay the fojthern
Democrats ? shall a fraall tax be laid on
fnuffand loaf-fugar !no fays the Demo
era tic society of Philadelphia. Shall it be
laid on distilleries? no, fay the whlfty
drinkers of Kentucky. Shall it be laid on
Coaches and Chariots ? 110, fay the De
mocrats of Virginia. This would be op
premon—will not be submitted to—There
must be a land tax.

manned one galliot; for the refiilanc'e
