DEIIAVIOR OF FEMALES IN COMPANY. One of the chief beauties in a female character is modest reserve, that retiring delicacy, which avoids the public eye, and is even disconcerted at the gaze of admiration. When a girl ceases to blush, she has lost the most powerful charm of beauty. The extreme sensibility which it indicates may be considered as a weakness and incumbrance to the other sex; but in females is peculiarly engaging. A blushing is

so far from being necessarily attendant on guilt, that it is the usual company of innocence. That modesty which is so essential to the sex, will naturally dispose them to be rather silent in company, especially in a large one; people of sense and discernment will never take such si

lence for dullness. A person may take a share

without contamination. It is always in the pow

er of women to avoid these: no man but a brute or a fool will insult a woman with conversation which he sees gives her pain; nor will he dare to do it if she resent the injury with becoming spirit. There is a dignity in conscious virtue

which is able to awe the most shameless and abandoned of men. You will be reproached, perhaps, with an affectation of delicacy; but, at

any rate, it is better to run the risk of being thought ridiculous than disgusting. The men

will complain of your reserve; they will assure you that a frank behavior would make you more

amiable; but they are not sincere when they

tell you so. It might on some occasions, ren

There is a certain gentleness of spirit and manners extremely engaging in young women; not that indiscriminate attention, that unmeaning simper, which smiles on all alike. This arises from an affectation of softness, or from perfect insipidity. Our young female friends may perhaps think that by persuading them to attend to the pro

ceeding rules, we wish to throw every spark of

nature out of their composition, and to make them entirely artificial. Far from it: we wish

them to possess the most perfect simplicity of

heart and manners. They may possess dignity without pride; affability without meanness; and simple elegance without affectation. Milton had the same idea when he says of Eve,

REMARKS OF MR. MOUNT, On the subject of repealing that part of the Revenue Law authorizing the establishment of a State Board of Equalization. Mr. Pbesidext: Like the gentleman from Clark, I do not intend to be frightened from my purpose by the vain boastings of senators; and I can assure that gentleman that I entertain as ardent an attachment and devotion to the interests of my country as himself or any other gentleman on this floor. I feel, sir, so strong an at

tachment to the principles of justice, that I can

not see a bill of this description pass from this chamber without raising iny feeble voice to arrest the progress of a measure so destructive in

its tendency and fraught with such evils to the country. The tendency of this measure is no

thing more nor less than to plunder one portion of the state for the benefit of the other.

This principle of equalization is not of modern

origin; it has existed, in some shape, ever since

our government has had existent Fnr

instance, have we not had our county boards.

whose business it was to ea-ialize the annor-

uonments 111 the ditterent counties. The gen tleman will certainly not deny this, nor the pol

icy of such a measure. The gentleman and

others who agree with him on this subject,

contend that the valuation must be just, because

it has been performed by sworn officers. How far this argument will prove correct, I will endeavor to illustrate by an instance which lately

occurred with myself. Owning a small piece of rather indifferent land, in the county of Rush

wnicn, in the most palmy days of prosperity was never assessed at more than four dollars per acre. On my way to this place I called upon the Treasurer of the county for the purpose of paying the tax due on the same; and finding the tax to be much heavier than I anticipated, I

ascertained through the collector, that it was valued for the present year at nine dollars per acre. Not feelinjr satisfied with the assess

ment, I concluded to investigate the subject

still further, and see if such had been the price appraised, which would necessarily have to

stand for five years. The result of my investi

gation proved, on an examination of the auditors books of assessment there deposited, that

the land was assessed by the officer last appoin

ted for that purpose at only three dollars and

twenty cents, which was about its true value; and the two assements were made, the one at nine dollars per acre and the other at throe dol

lars and twenty cents, within a few months of each other, by different individuals, appointed

and ir ora into office for that purpose. So much

for the arguments of gentlemen about sirorn

leer. I will now proceed to examine how

it operates with respect to different counties.

Our revenue laws at the pi esent, and for a

long time, have required (and very justly too)

that all local considerations should operate in

relation to commercial facilities, as well as the

fertility of the soil, combined with the improvments thereon. On a former occasion I men

tioned the injustice which was done to a portion of the Slate, in bearing the burthen of taxation

far beyond its just proportion, under the same system which will again exist, if the measure

now pending should be carried. I will endeavor, if the senate will indulge me, to present, in my plain and common-place style, a contrast, as it now exists between some of the counties in the interior of the State and far remote from market, and those lying nearer to markets, and having within themselves greater facilities for reaching such markets.

Commencing with the county of Hendricks.

(as with regard to that county I have some data

on which to found a calculation) I am credibly

intormed that during last season, wagoners were in the constant practice of exchanging one

bushel of salt for three bushels of wheat, con

yeying the wheat to Lawrcnceburgh, in Dear

born county, on the Ohio river and there ex

changing it for three bushels of salt in return

At the same time the lands in the county of Hendricks, were assessed at six dollars per a-

cro, and the lands in the county of Clark, one of the first settled counties in the state, much better improved, equally fertile, and lying on

the Ohio river, immediately opposite to the city of Louisville, Ky., affording one of the best markets in the country, thereby possessing greater commercial advantages thaneven Dearborn, are only assessed at the average price of six dollars per acre. Sir, would any one suppose that counties so unequally situated in point of local facilities, should be compelled to pay a tax proportioned as this is? Such great inequalities should not exist: and I ask Senators to look well to the interests of their constituents who are situated remote from the advantages of this market. The county of Marion, whose average price of land per acre, as assessed, is eight dollars, and possesses, probably, no greater advantages than the county of Hendricks, at least in point of fertility of soil, and nearly equidistant from the great marts of commerce on the Ohio, and subject to nearly the same inequalities in the

exchange of her surplus products for articles of

necessary use; the county of Monroe, still tur-

the oldest settled county in that portion of the State, Fort Wayne being her seat of justice, situated at the junction of the St. Juseph and St

Mary s rivers, whose lands are rated at only four dollars per acre, whilst the counties of Adams and Wells, in the same Senatorial district, lying more remote from market, loss improved, and of much inferior quality, is rated at seven dollars per acre. Numerous are the instances of those glaring and unjust assessments; but I conceive it to be unnecessary to go into further detail at the present time. Mr. President, the course which is pursued by certain Senators on this floor appcers to me to be somewhat surprising: they represent counties whose sitizens appear to be unjustlytaxed, and yet they stand up (with the exception of the gentleman from Hendricks) advocating and voting for this bill of abominations.

There are other Senators, whose counties aie ' shape or other.

ingulf liucu, who arp nemmea in Dy counties paying but a comparatively trifling tax, voting also for this bill, from what consideration and motives I am unable to divine. Some of them tell us that it is from a spirit of liberality. For my part, Mr. President, such liberality does not enter into my composition, and I am not willing to give a vote by which my constituents will be fleeced for the benefit of other portions of the State possessing equal advantages with them.

The gedtleman from Daviess and Martin has

I Mill roller; it is this. that every Scri.tor in this hall, of ihc self-styled democratic party, with the exception of the Senators from and Bartholomew, has bee.i decidedly in favor of this bil!, fraught as it is with the most disastrous consequences to the best interests of the State. These gentlemen, I am pleaded to say it, stand as proud monuments of honesty and independence, unmoved and untrameled by party dictation. Mr. President, if we are determined to adhere to the system of ad valorem taxation, I conceive it to be indispensably necessary that

we retain this Board of equalization in some

In the south eastern part of

the State, it will lie observed that lands are rated much higher, in relation to their real value, than in other portions of the State, and have also maintained a greater uniformity in their valuation for the last four years, which the following tabular statement clearly shows.

by her senator, whose lands are rated at eight

course pursued by the gentleman would have appeared in my estimation, to much belter advantage, had he pursued the liberal policyadopted by the Senators from Posey, Laporte, and St. Joseph's, who would look beyond the narrow limits of their own districts. Another consideration, Mr. President, and one of so much importance, too, in my opinion at least, that it ought not to be lost sight of, presents itself; it is the fact that we have al

ready incurred all the expense necessary to destroy without even givingit a trial. The val

uations have already been made, at an expense of thirty thousand dollars, which must inevitably be an entire loss if you repeal this system, and .ill for the purpose of saving about seven hundred dollars, the probable expense to be incurred in carrying out the operations of the Board. This seems to me to be the most childish and inconsistent policy that I have yet heard advocated on this floor. Gentlemen contend that their constituents do not understand the nature and policy of this system, and consequently are dissatisfied with it; and at the same time are willing and free to admit the justice and propriety of the system, but dislike to go for it contrary to their wishes, although it operates manifestly to their disadvantage. Sir, the people have not had the opportunity of becomins informed of the true effects of this measure. It has barely commenced its operations before you see it attacked with all the venom peculiar to its opponents. Perhaps not one indivdual out of a hundred taking the State through, has been enabled to procure the Auditor's report, the only document from which they could obtain correct information. But, sir. many are they that have been deceived in regard to this matter, by designing demagogues,

who have mounted this system, supposing it to be the only hobby on which they could ride

into the Legislature. It seems to me, sir, that a Senator pays but a poor compliment to the intelligence and patriotism of his constituents, when, in a case in which they acknowledge their want of infor

mation, he is unwilling to abide by nis own

the fact as respects that section of the State, and there is the great field of objection. It has scarcely been spoken of in other sections of the State. In my ow n I know it has not. No, Fir, the people there are all well pleased with the design of this system. Thry hok at it ns cmbracing 4ithe great and universal principles of justice' to all portions of the state; bestowing favors on none, and reconciling, in its tendency, the great rnl frequent complaint of unequal and unjust taxation.

In conclusion, I would beseech Senators to weigh well the consequences that must flow from the repeal of this measure. The people have been, by the past and present action upon this subject, awaker.cd to the unjust mode of taxation heretofore adopted; and my word for it, their intelligence will not lene admit cf a course so unjust, ungenerous, mid oppressive. jCpSince the foregoing remarks v. ere prepared for the press, the Auditor report, containing the appraisements for the five years, has come to hand, by w hich it appears, that Marion, Hendricks, Dearborn, Jeffers-en, Rush, and Wayne, which worc!efore overrated, are to a considerable extent increased, v. hilt; Daviess, in which the New Albany road and central canal intersect, is considerably diminished in its rates, although underrated bcfoie; and in general a greater relative inequality exists in the late appraisement, which is to stand for five years, than in the former valuation, by which means the flagrant injustice heretofore complained of is greatly aggravated.

THE UNION. A fiiend writing from Boston, siys: :'We launch this campaign, the great question of repeal of the Union, and mean to carry it through the Commonwealth. Massachusetts must no longer be compromised. We cannot conscientiously keep the compact our fathers made; and therefore we must ask for its peaceable repeal."

million of bonds, sold by the commissioners of the Mississippi Union Bank to Nicholas Diddle, on the 18th day of August, 1838." j The Whig adds, "the repudiation of the Union bonds having been effected, the house adjourned thinking that enough infamy had been won for one night."
