and to spare no pains In preventing all

THE INCOME TAX
• .
Eturous OAzETTE: Though not sow in
public life, and for the better port of two
years part in no condition to take an ac
tive part either by pen or voice in the
field of politics; it is still innpoasible for
me to 10,,k upon the current events of the
jay which regard the 'final settlement of
the country, or the welfare or the party
which has. carried it so auccemitully
through it. great tribulations, and is now
intrusted with. its government, without
the interest of a partial coadjutor in the
drama which has just been closed. I may
perhapertherefore be excused for asking a
planefor a few wonis in relation to a
measure now pending in Congress, which
touchea not only the destiny - of that party.
and with it the credit of the nation, but
the special interests of American labor, of
Which your paper has so long been the
earnest and un wavering advocate.
'The subject to which I refer is that of
the laconic Tax, on which you have taken
a position which, although perhaps in ac
cordance with the views of the adminis
tration, and the opinions of a majority of
the House of Representatives, has seemed
to me—ifyou will allow me to say it—a
little peculiar in a newspaper and amongst
a community so greatly dependent on the
protection of domestic industry, and so
justly distinguished by its attachment to
the policy which aims to elevate the la
borer to thelevel of . all his dutiesovhile
it insures the — mtrength as well so inde
pendence of the State.
The quriitiort, it in to be remembered,
is not even one of the repeal of a direct
tax no longer required by the. necessities
of the country, although the object of
emigre's; la avowedly to reduce the pub
lic burdens by cutting MI an admitted

character, excused .and made tolerable

lag yin Its duration, by words of elle
phatic negation, to a period supposed to
be co-extensive with the probable extreme
necessities of the State, and now expired
by its own limitation. In this view of the
case, it involves, of course, the inaugura
tion of a policy of . internal taxation at a
permanent means of supply for the pay
ment of the interest, and the extinguish
ment of thepublic debt, by extension in one
direction for the sake of a larger curtail
ment in another, and with the obvious
effect, if not the covert purpose, of tram
forting the burthens ohthe country to its
own labor, and relieving to the same extent
the labor of other nations. It In not pre
tended that it le wanted. it is conceded
that it may be spared. It is to take the
Pplace of something else that is to be re
eered. It is to furnish- srvider scope for
the cosmopolitan philanthopy of free-trade

before a blow was struck, that our very
name had perished from the roll of mi.
Hons. And the vote of the House. refusing
even to limit it to a single year, demon
ntrates that the policy is to be a settled
one.
- Butte this true and statesman-like, or
even practical?. Will it maintain the
credit of the nation, by recommending it-

way of paying a debt is by irontiiig if off,
and of course providing abundant reniun

tax payer, by the protection and encour

Will it preserve the ascendancy of the
only party which is honestly delirious to
meet in good faith the obligations of the na
tion, and Is yet weak enough to allow itself
to be beguiled into the surrender of a per
manent resource, complained of hybobody,
which augment the ability of the debtor,
and the substitution of another which, in
the very nature of things, it is imptelsibl
to maintain in a free. Chu - eminent? 1
seems to me that there can be but one an
wer to all these questions, and that Is, that,
in every aspect, the policy which seeks to
revive and preserve the most odious, un
equal, and oppressive of all Our war taxes,
in time of peace, at the expense of the
tariff, only because it pays. and is sup.
pawed to be maintainable, for the reason
that it oppresses only the fete, Is as short
, sighted and suicidal, as it is unreasonable
and unjwit. .. .
Never, as it appears to Me, ha
an occasion presented. it.elf in ill.
history of any people so opportun
for tiro, establishment of the publi
credit and prOsperity, and the pre - ser,
tion of the ascendancy of the party whir,
created and Is its only 'Safe custodian.
The reAst obnoxious and unpopular of the
war taxes has now expired by its own lim
itation. The plethora of the Treasury
has opened the way for the removal of
almost the whole residue; With the excep
tion of the exciee• on distilled and malt
liquors, and the article of tobacco, With a
great simplification of the machinery, and
a correspondent reduction in the army of
officers, and the expenses of collection.
The results of the financial measures of
the ttovemnient during the war, in the
stimulus which they adminintered to the
industry of our people, and the amazing
development produced as well by the high
tariff and comparative embargo on the
productions of other countries, as by the
expenditures of the Oovemment
had not only awakened us for the first
time to a consciousness of our great re
sources at home, but apparently removed
the tariff, which the secession of the
Southern wing of the Democratic party
had so happily revived, entirely from the
field of controversy. The occasion there
fore for the renewal of direct taxation,
which it was not supposed that any sane
or prudent party would venture to revive
or even continue in time of peace, and 1
which was the oily rock on which it seem
ed possible that the Republican party could
run the risk of shipwreck unless it was
headed by some unskilful pilot directly
upon the breakers—was happily re.
moved. All' that seemed necessary
to a clear-headed statesman was
to seize the newton, and sweep front
the Statute Books the bust remnant of the
oppressive sacrifices of the war. And
yet with a degree of obtuseness altogeth
er inexplicable, except upon the idea that
"whom Hod wishes to destroy the first
drives mad," or from a desire to:propiti
ate the monied interest of Europe and its
agents and allies here, or perhaps with a
view to a little temporary popularity at
home, the - golden opportunity Is thrown
away, and a large majority of a Republi
can House of Representatives, decides to
renew the very worst of these taxes, not
because they are wanted, but for the put..
pose only of enabling It to remove the
same amount from the. shoulders of the
foreign producer, and thus to throw away
to that extent its only reliable resource
for the maintenance of the public credit.
If the patriot has had occasion more than
once to exclaim,- at critical pe—
riods of the War,• when the blun
dering tactics of the Rebel Oen.
era had thrown' him upon the north
ern hank of the Potomac, with a Republi
can army in front, and an almost impassible
river behind him, and was yet allowed
to escape, through the Imbecility or inde
cision of our Generale, "Oh I for an hour
of Napoleon Bonaparte," how much more
reason has the country now to nay "Oh!
for an hour of either Pitt or Hamilton!"
Mr. Schenck, although a clever man in
his way, Is evidently not Pitt, as
Mr. Etoutwell is unfortunately not
Hamilton. If the - Secretary can manage
to redeem In one month as much as four.
teen millions of the Public Securities, it
is glory enough for hint, no matter where
the money comes from, - and even though
in doing so, he may happen to kill the
goose that lays the golden egg and future
secretaries find themselves embarrassed to
rase ways and means for the support of the
Civil List out of the same revenues which
he Is willing to surrender. No other Ad
ministration or Secretary will ever yen
tore, I think, to meet even a deficiency by
a resort to an Income Tax. I doubt whether
any such stroke of finance as the hypo.
thecation of so precarious a security In
time of peace, will enable him to put
his bonds upon the English market,
as he hopes to do, at four per cent.
That a Republican administration and
Congrees, animated only by the ambition
of placing the credit of the nation on im
moveable foundations—even elide from all
considerations In regard to the profitable
employment of thaw Dom whose sweat
and toll this great debt is to be wrung at
last—should have blundered Into the folly
of endeavoring to support it on the bailie
of direct taxation, and that of the most •
objectionable quality, by way of substi
tute for so much of the duties now levied
upon foreign products, is evidence,l
that they could net hays read one of the

the year in which they were raised, or at
most for a year or two after it, while all
others were 'in the indirect form: and the

of this counoe is approved , by Mr. Hume,
in the remark that one of the chief causes
of the destruction of the Roman State, Wan

so ground by this imposition, that they
were glad to take refuge under the con

dominion, as they had fewer necessities
and less art, stns found preferaltle' to the
refined tyranny of the Romann. "It is to

nerved as a lint TOOUree, for the nuavoithi•
hie exigencies of war, and specially so
snarl for those years only when the ten
cilement and necessities of the actual' con•
tat were experienced." And, again, in
speculating upon the results as lessons for
the future, be, concludes by.. saying: that
"of all the PointsCofAMr: Pitt's financial
system, none was mono worth,* of admira
tion than that which pnividea for all the
permanent expenses of the nation in the
indirect taxes;" and, that “of all the errors

judgment of the Bout wells. and Schencks,
and Simmons, and a Republican house of
Representatives, it is the perfection of
Republican wisdom, to unleash them upon
a free people.,
It Ls nn disparagement to the wisdom of
Mr. Pitt. that while the war assessments
ceased, of course, with its termination, no
moth of the indirect taxes was sarrend

abandonment of the Sinking. Fund, AB,
with it all hope of the eventual paymen
of the public debt, without any materin
benefit to the nation from a great. part o
the taxes thus unprovidentially surrend

that I,rd Castlereagh, In 1816, in the en
deavoe to Induce the iseople to submit fo
a few years longer to the exalted rate o
taxation required for the preservation of
that Fund, fell Mto the same error pre.
cisely so the present Administration and
Congress, in making the Struggle. upon

historian remarks "a direct war impost of

this great minister became convinced, of

level of the public expenditures;_ and it
was with this object that, keepingin view

servants, horses and carriages, while the
house and window Tax, which fell in a
great measure on the middle classes,
should only he doubled—the whole to lie
continued but fora limited time, and kept
up only as a war burden. The ..extraor
&nary taxes thus imposed fell, however,
so far short of his estimates, while the
war broke out anew under circumstances
necessitating a grently increased effort on
the part of England, that at the session of
the following year he found it necessary,
as a last expedient, to propene fife - extreme
and novel measure of an Income Tax on
all incomes over £6O per annum; so far,
however, deferring therein—an our Legis
lature did not—to the habits and manners
of the people, an to leave the amount to
be fixed by the Comminsinnernlenn the
party affected chose to render a statement

objections, and the measure Walt adopted;
as It has on"•itieveml extraordinary peat-

in a milder form. .
It will be urged perhaps, an it lies been

arising out of the peculiar strueture of
our own Institutions, which adds ten-fold
strength to the objections already stated
an bearing no strongly in Great Britain
upon the question of :direct Taxation for
the support of the Government; and that
is, that while the right of levying duties
on imports, in reserved to the Federal
Government, along with general powers
of taxation, it In expressly denied to the
States, which are, of course, without other
regnant.es for their ',import, except In those
means of, supply to which Congress is
now looking for the payment of its owif
debt. Whether under thtse theologian-
COS it may not be reasonably expected to
confine Itself in time of peace, at lean, to :
its own exclusive domain, and whether it
in reasonable that It iihitula invade with
out necenalty the very limited sphere of
State jurisdiction, are questiour - which
may be safely left, 1 think. to Intelligent
minds without argument.
It is worthy - of remark, however. in this
connection, that if the States are denied
the, power of levying duties on imports.
iheatercise of e the concurrent power of
the Federal Government to levy direct
taxes, is on the other hand abridged by
the express qualification provided In the
second, and again repeated In the ninth'
section of the Constitution, that they
shall be apportioned among the States'
according to Federal numbers. nether
In this view the tax in question is within'
