The St. Louis Democrat, adverting to the proposul of Senator Hous ton, to suspend the duty on sugar for two years, states that last year the value of ull the sugar imported into the country was near lil'ieeu in ill 114 of dollars; this year it will greatly exceed thai sum. Thirty per cent. 011 lilieeii Mi llions gives 4,500,000, which was the amount of tlm sugur tex levied last year Atconling to thu last census the whole number of sugar planters in the United States is 2041. The bud. crops of the Lit few years, and the want of eaues siut iiile for plant injf, have considerably re duced this number, the owners oi many of the estates Having now substituted the cultl vuliou of cotton; we suppose, therefore, thai there cannot be more than two thousand fiig.tr planters at the present time. It would ;b better to give them at ouce u sum equal to I lie, sugar tax for threu or four veurs, tiiuu n go on from yeur to year paying a heavy (ax lor w tut li the country has no occasion und the presence of which in the treasury corrupt. our legislation.
