IlAnni5BUftO, Feb, C, 19 IS. Dear Sir: -Your favor of the 2J inn. cams lo hand by due course of mail, I regret that Ihe principle! contained in the bill which 1 had (he honor lo pre sent to the Senst, tome Jays eir.ce. should ba objectionable to a geiitlermn of your acknowledged intelligence. Jlu 1 am not diaippointed in finding (ho bill objectioiable. "I have long since come lo the conclusion, thit a system of tax fltion, for the gradual payment of the Siate debt, o," for the punctual payment of the interest, that would be'free from treasonable objection and acceptable to all,' can never be devised. The man who undertakes this t ask will fail to sc compliah i'. I am well aware that ike present taxei are onerous, and I regret s much as you the necessity for lhair -continuance, or that it ahoulil be the du ty of any one to inquire into the expe diency of adding new ones. Certainly ft Is no very agreeable task for a public servant to propose or advocate taxation of any kind. It makes up more than a full proportion of lillcrt for all the sweet of legislation. You say you wculd l.ke lo see a 'sys tem of taxation that would bear equally upon all the wealth of the country and at the same timi 6e efficient and talis jfaclory. 1 ahould rejoice with you to see i system ol this kind in operation. These phrasea aound harmonious, but they art mere words of promise to the ear, to be broken to the hope. A sat isfactory tax will never be devised 'The regulation of the mere machinery -of tax laws is a most difficult task, and -such equity and nice regard for individ ual rights, as-you deaire, is more than human ingenuity can attain. But I hope to convince you (hat at least some of the positions which you 'have assumed against a tax on lineal de scents, are unsound. You say it is tax ing the dead' and wronging the wiJjbw and orphan,' 1 he same reiser k will apply with equal force lo 'all the estates now taxable in the commonweath. the original owners are now all dead and yet these estates are tared, fl he pres ent inheritors were at one time looked upon as 'widows and orphans,' but yet their property is not exempt from taxation-' If your position be correct, every estate passing from first hands ought to be free from taxation, because it hail boen toaod in th name oflhe original owner, and having passed Into the hands of his heirs ought not to be again taxed This principle would, in the space of thirty years, exempt all the wealth of the Stile from taxation, and leave the Government no means of paying the expense of protecting this property, or these decendants in its enjoyment. This tax ii intended, and will apply to all the wealth of the Slate, without disturb ing the present tax laws; and the whole product is to be applied toward the pay ment of the principle of the State debt, and I would not agree lo assess it for any other purpose. Again, you say it is 'taxing the es tates twice.' This is very true. But you might say, with Ike same propriety that when the Legislature in 1841 rais ed the lax upon real estate from two to three mills, that it was taxing the same property twice. In bolh cases there it merely sn increase of taxation. The object in the ohe instance being to pay tho interest, and in the other the princi pal of the State debt: Ibis tax would reach all estates, real and personal, the si mo as our laws now in force. It may be said the one estate will pas soonei than another, aod hence a time will bt -when such estate will have paid more of the public debt than another of equal 'value. But ii is estimated that in 30 years all the properly of the commonwealth -would be taxed under the provisions ol ol tins ait, and it will then have borm an equal .proportion oflhe debt. I hold the right of an individual to properly which lie has acquired by his own la tior to be veiy sacred, and would not a eree to any enroachrrent upon such rights that was not demanded by neces sity. As to the mere machinery of the pro nosed law, I do not look npon the fea tures of the bill as being the best that can be adopted. Some more certain efficient means of securing its execu- ; Jon will,! have no doubt be discovered 'You complain of tho gradual increase of the rato of taxat ion as (he fcslale become larger. ;Iam net certain lhai an umfotfn rate or Iwo or three per cen upon all estates without -relerence to their value, would :ot bear scrutiny - better than any other principle. I -find that in-Eogland the rate of taxation up on leniel descents is regulated in iefer ence to the lies of consanguinity, The closer those lies draw the inheritor to the doner, the lower the rate of tax a follows to wit: On estate decending to any ancestor or descendant cf legator, .one per cent; to brother, sister, or their .jtietr.endanti, three per. cenjj louncle.or itint, or their floceivlanls, five per cen'; to great uncles; or great aunts, or their descendants, six per ccn'i and to any other collateral oralrangerin blood, 10 por cent. I hold the docl rino that a Govern ment in exacting from its people iho necessary mean to su-tiii the expenses ai its aiminisiriion, or to meet any obligations which il may have incurred, nai not only the right, but is in du y bound tocoiixult the moral'l welfire of its Kuhjcts. and 1 hat the so exactions ihoulil be made with reference fust,, to nqtiiiy and indid.irlual right and next 'o the general welfare of all At what period then can you make ai ; exaction irom an estate lhat will c tiie lea complaint, dj Usa injury or iless in fringe upon personal pights, ths at a lima when by virtue of thq same Gov rnment under whose fostering cars it was acquired, it passes into the posses ion and enjoyment of a subject of thai Government, free of cod). It is a gra tniiy.j the products of the lab r of an jther, and descends to the inheritor by virtue of ihe laws oi his Government, uid he should not complain, if he becal ed upon to contribute s small item ol ha donation, .thin acnuiiHil inuunk sustaining -that government, isiae,Jm under the management of Mr. James ihe debt of lorty millions which we ; Kihnon, and is now doing well. No J now owt is a lien upon all the wealth i continue to do a first rate business, .fit. I l . i . . i P . m . i ji me s'ate, an i.iai is 10 oe exacted Jer the proposed-lavv, is to ba applied, toward the pryenent of this Jien. Uencf you will perceivo that lliis fearful privi ciple' is notning more oV less lliv?. pay. mg a debt, from which there is no es cape. You aay 6 percent, upen estates of one hundivd thousand dollars is lo much. iFerhaps it nny be so, but I will leave you lo decide .whether tin individual who receives a gratuity of ninety five thousand dollar, is not as good a man Lr all earthly purpose, as he would be if he were to receive one handred thousand. , As a general rule, is not he who receives a bounty of ten thousand dollar s, as happy and as use t'ul and jurj'jfcssiul business men fV mongjM those who have been left large W.Vdnes by their ancestors, or in ranks of thosa who have commenced the world without any of (he advantages of wealth? I need not answer these ques tions; they admit of but one reply, do not present these ideas i constituting any right in Ihe Government to make exactions as proposed in the bill, bu' they ought to have some influence in si laying complaints aguinst the proposed tax. Calculating from Ihe best data (hat I can obtain, I am led to believe that the proposed law would produce from three to four hundred thonaand dollars annu ally, and the 'afnki.ig- fund' thus created o long as Slate stocks remain In-low par, would cancel a still larger amount ol the dsbt. Tins amount will gradual ly enlarge with the increasing wealth ol the htite, and as the amount of the an nual interest becomes smaller, we will be able lo bring other revenues to Ihe aid of this fund..! believe thai if Ihe inter est upon our funded ilehi be punctually paid for thro or four years with o small annual reduction of the principal, that our State credit will go up lo par, and that when it is so restore I, she can go into the market, and boriow money at a much less rate of inteies1 ihan she is now paying; say at 3 or 4 per cent bonds, and thus greatly reduce the amount of her annual liabilities. 1 incline to the opinion that if the propos ed measure be adopted and kept in effi cient operation fur ten yeais that it will bring the annual interest ot oi.r deb' within the receipts from the canals and other sources, and thus relieve the real estate of the Commonwealth, from the present three mill tax. The only bur 'hen then remaining upon the people will be the proposed lax for the lota! extinguished of the deb!. If other end better means for the re demption of the credit of he Stair it- itt can oe tnscove ru, tney snail receive my hearty support. I am very ruly your friend.
