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

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

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.
