. We notice in our - exchange .papers that'
'the 'subject of Direct Taxatiim by the Ge
neral Government is becoming a. matter of
discussion in various parts of, the:country.
The'probability that this means of raising
revenue will be resorted to is just as great
•as the present .administration 'will' be con
. tinned. io power.- ..With the re-election 'of
Me. Van.l3nren the system of direct taxa
.ation is associated: ' . There are' three eon
•••Sideratims which show dile.' . First, , the
project devised .by. Mr. Calhoun fur ceding
away
. thOl Public Lands . to - those States
within whose territories they, happen to•
ite; secondly, the policy advocated by the '
same gentleman for doing away with the ,
tariff, or duties; on imported `goods—by
- Mile)) two measures the ordinary'sourees
.of..re'venue,,vvildbe cut off; - arrethirdly - , - =bye
- the ', l ien avowal_ of ,Mr. Rhett, s of . South '
Carolina, and by intimations from . other
ineml)ers'ut the. administration, party, that
direct taxation waa_the hest. systemoft -
