good. Perhaps hereafter, when I hare time, I will make this position good. 1 now ask, who it is that doe9 not pay his ratio of the revenue? A reference to the subjects of taxation will determine this fact. Lands are taxed according to their quality and situation, town lots at the rate" of 50 cents on every 100 they are valued at, horse?, oxen .watches, brass clocks, pleasure carriages, bank stock, venders of foreign merchandize, ferries, retailers ofspiritou3 liquors and also a poll tax. Now I ask, who escapes? None. I also ask what will he the difference in the expense in taking the list of taxable property in the present mode, and the one proposed. In the one case the lister takes down the subjects of taxation, in the other he must see, examine and value them. In the first case one man can do all; in the other, all will agree that it will require a lister and two or more appraisers. And what business man is it that cannot take the list of any man's taxable property, from a competent person to give it, in two minute3? and can the same man value the same property in twenty minutes? 1 think all will agree not. instance a case: I have 500 acres of land, part of

which is improved, with the ordinary J

of which must be examined and valued and entered accordingly. Will the time above allowed be extravagant? I think not, if that ratio be taken as a data. It cost Dearborn county 127 50 for taking the list for the last yCar. Ten times that amount, will be $1275 00; and as it requires 3 persons to attend to this duty, as above premised, it will cost 3,825 00 for the single item of listing. To this sum add the present revenue raised in the county, 4102 19, and the amount to be raised, so that there be no diminution to the treasury, will be 7799 G9. If this calculation is correct, which I leave for a candid public to determine, -what is gained? an increase of the prevailing evil, throwing on our hands hordes of unnecessary officers, to be supported as so many paupers. In what other light will you view It? For if men are taken from their ordinary employment, they must be paid. And to what purpose of moment is the revenue applied but to paying public functionaries? and yet hourly, as it were additions are making and the great mass of the people tacitly submit. While some others, from motives that needs no deep penetration to understand, mount the rostrum, and in a dictatorial attitude, point out the necessary qualifications tojinsure their suffrage, thereby, virtually saying add more. It is truly surprising that a citizen of Dearborn county should favor the proposed system of taxation, when the evil resulting from it is so great to the old counties. It is well known that, by the compact between the state and the general government, all lands sold after the first of December 1C1G, shall be exempt from taxation for 5 years after sale; hence a large proportion of the state reaps the advantage of this exemption, while most of the lands in the old counties have been liable to taxation from the day of sale. And when the proposed system is adopted, the poll tax will he stricken oft". Hence a great proportion of the citizens of the new and some of the old counties, will not pay one dollar into the treasury, and still enjoy all the privileges that those who bear the expense do, but at others expense.' Is it just that we, of the old counties, should pay all the expenses of the state? I say is it right that we should be pressed down with additional burdens, after all that has been suffered, by the inhabitants of the old counties, who put their all at stake in settling the vast wilds of the west, induring all the privations attendant on the settling of a new country, thickly interspersed with the savage foe, who ambushed their pathway and made the darkness of the midnight glitter with the blaze of their dwellings, while the blood of their relatives fattened the fields? I appeal to the magnanimity of all, if these are the neOblc- that nutritional nnd dioportionate burde::- ought orwill be heaped on; no, sir, justice revolts at the idea. Facts March 17th, 1331.

CORFCSATI02? EliECTIOZr. rijlHE annual election for President and j select Council of the town of Lawrenceburgh, will be held at 5 o'clock, on the first Monday of April next, at the house of Jesse Hunt, inn keeper, in said town. I3y order of the PRESIDENT. March 1.3 th, 183 1. 12

Public Electing, At a meeting' of the friends of the present administration, convened at the court housa, in Lawrenceburgh, March oOth, 1831 ; Jene Hunt, was called to the chair, and John P. Dunn, appointed Secretary Mr. Amos Lane, having been requested by the chair lo state the object of the meeting, brielly recapitulated the most important acts and principles of the administration. H3 epeke of the new channels of trade, which had been opened by the treaty with Tut key, and of the advantages resulting from the restoration of the direct trade with the British West India islands. Previous to Gen. Jackson'd election, his opponents represented him as opposed to the tarifF. He then declared himself in favor of it; and has since definitely rmde known what he understands by a "judicious tariff" one which protects domestic industry, without laying on us the enormous tax, more heavily felt here, than else where, of o 00 on each voter. Gen. Jackson, continued Mr. Lane, has been, in like manner, misrepresented in his opinions on internal improvements. His opponents declare that no important measure of internal improvement need be hoped tor under the present administration. Yet, soon

after tell us of 100,000 appropriated for the Cumberland road, in Oaio, of 75,000 for the same purpose in Indiana, ol G5,000 in Illinois, and of$l00,000 to improve the navigation of the Ohio & Mississippi. When, asked Mr. Lane, under what administration, has so much been done for the states north

west of the Oaio? Mr. Line spoke of Gen. Jacksotrs recommendation that some system of internal improvement should be adopted. Hitherto, said he, there has been no system. Mr. Lane dwelt at length on the veto to the Miysville road bill, and Louisville canal. He represented the impropriety of the general government's becoming a party in a corporation, which received its charter from a state government, for the purpose of executing a local work. He dwelt, particularly, on the fact of our being obliged to pay toll on these works, constructed with the money of the people; merely that the corporations might pocket the profits. Mr. Lane passed to the distribution of the surplus revenue. Spoke of the mode of distribution recommended byGeneral Jackson. lie then mentioned over the charges and complaints against the administration, and especially those founded on removals and appointments to office. Spoke of the necessity of relying on recommendations; and that bad appointment, when they had been made, were owm to these, and not to any- want of caution in the administration. Air. Line then spoke of rotation in oflice. He advocated its propriety on general principles of expediency, and proceeded to say, that the present administration came into oflice with the knowledge that a large majority expected to see this first principle ofour republican institutions, carried into cflTect. He dwelt on the necessity of having those in office friendly to the administration. He referred to our own historv and that of England, to show that this had been the uniform practice. Mr. Lane closed by insisting on the necessity of supporting those who would properly represent our wishes; and said that it was due to the administration, which we had hitherto supported, that we should express, by resolutions, or otherwise, our satisfaction at the measures it has recommended and pursued. A committee of five, consisting of Walter Armstrong George Arnold, Edwin G. Pratt, Warren 1 ebbs and David V. Culley, was then appo.nted to draft and submit resolutions for the consideration of the meeting. After retiring for a short time, the following were reported by the committee and unanimously adopted . Resolved, That reposing entire confidence in the ability, integrity and patriotism of Andrczo Jackson; satisfied with what he has already done, & confident that he will efiect still more, in his future administration, we will give him our most cordial support for the next presidency. Resolved, That the honorable and advantageous adjustment of our foreign relations, is in the highest degree creditable to the administration. Resolved, That the appropriation of a portion of the surplus revenue, to internal improvement, and an equitable distribution of the remainder, are constitutional and expedient. Resolved, That such portion should be applied to some clearly defined and comprehensive system of national improvement, which should diffuse its advantages equally over the country, and not be frittered away by appropriations for local and party purposes. Resolved, That we consider t he veto on the Maysville road bill, to be in perfect accordance with the foregoing resolutions, and we give to it our approval and support. Resolved, That the removal of the Indians, in the manner proposed, is an act of justice to the states and of charity to tue Indians; and we confidently hope that our chief magistrate will not be prevented, by the political cant oi

affected sympathy, from effecting it with w isdom and kindness. Resolved, That rotation in office is a necessary consequence of our republican institutions, and the only sufficient guarantee to the faithful and energetic performance of official duties. Resolved, That we view with regret, but without fear, all attempts to disunite the great republican party, of which our present chief magistrate is deservedly the head. Resolved, That we will unite in the support of suitable and well qualified persons, friendly to the republican principles of the present administration, for United States, State, and county ofiicersat the approaching election. Resolved, That to carry the above resolution into effect, it be recommended to the citizens of each township in this county to select three delegates friendly to the measures of the administration, to meet in convention at Lawrenceburgh, on the 4th Saturday in April next, to fix upon a ticket to be supported at the ensuing election. Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be signed by the president and secretary and published. JESSE HUNT, preset. Jonx P. Duxx, secy.

'generally exceed 2000 in number Acting on

the principle that horns industry should be encouraged, it is naturalj to suppose that these would be printed in the district where the member resides. Now, what is the fact? Why it is directly the reverse. The copy is furn'ishrd to sorre favorite printer in the ten miles district, at Washington cit, the work is struck ofT, put vp in Uncie Sam's best paper, and forwarded, $t the the o'd man's expense, to every nook, and corner of the district, where the ho.iorable member resides. The consequence is, that, about the termination of each session, the mail bags are stuffed with thefe free letters, to the exclusion of almost every thing- else. Persons, unacquainted with the practice in this particular, have been lad to believe that the members of congress, availing themselves of the franking privilege, were sending home their shirts, breeches he. in the mail; and hence originated the story, we suppose, that they were in like manner accommodated from home, with clean linen during the session. This is a small matter, and some may say, not worth mentioning. But w hen it is taken into consideraticn that this great planet or globe, which we inhabit is composed of atoms

collected and kept together by the incrutabie, ,

but controling laws ot nature, the subject losses much of its littleness. In fact, if the reasoning be. good in an extended tcale, it is equally so in a limited one. If it be politic and proper to protect the manufacturer of New England against foreign competition; it

! is equally as important and just to encourage

our manufacturers and mechanics at Lone. Every dollar put into t lie pockets of the former or latter in the east, for fabrics or work to be used here, is lost to us, and is so much improvident ly taken from tlia circulating medium to say nothing about the injury it does to our home indvstn. The same reasoning will hold good in regard to the subject under consideration. Whatever is laid out at Washington for printing circulars, that might have been done at home, is so much expended to the injury of the craft elsewhere. In our paper, to-day, we conclude the publication of one of these imparted circulars, printed at Washington, and sent us and others, in this

! district, at the public expense, for the print

ing ot which, notwithstanding it makes 10 or 11 columns ofour sheet, we do not hope nor expect one cent. Yet, it w ill be seen, that its author enlarges much on the propriety of encouraging home industry. These remarks ate not made through an ill feeling to judge Test, nor from any supposed advantage it would have been to us, individually, had he brought the copy home, and the circulars been printed here; tut from an honest conviction of the necessity of reminding him that professions, to be of any use, ought always to be supported by practice Nor would we be understood as confining them to him alone. Messrs. Hendricks and lloon, have shown an equal degree of attachment to the hone system, by employing printers at Washington to print, and the public mail to carry, their circulars intended for their constituents in Indiana. As it respects Mr. Jennings, we must suppose this year he considers Ins constituents -wise enough Without his aid, as he has not yet appeared before them in a circular.

THE GLOBE

'B!ownsky high!1' Ye?, as the Roanoke orator says, the Indian question is "blown sky high." The supreme court cf the United States has decided that the Indians ure not foreign nor independent nations, but "domes-tic, dependent nations, in a state of "pupilage" to the United States. We hope alter this to hear no more opposition to their peaceable removal and permanent settlement west of the Mississippi. The continued accumulation oflonp; articles, together with the U. S. laws requiring publication at this time, has almost driven from our columns the common and interesting occurrences of the day. We hope, in a few week?, to see the way clear, when we fchall endeavor to make amends lo our readers for the past.

ECJ We invite the attention ofour readers to the prospectus of the Washington city 1 Globe? published to day. We have been favored by an exchange with this paperj and feel ourselves bound in justice to the able and efficieut manner in which it is conducted, to the sound and republican principles it advocates, and to the sterling integrity aod trt'en!3 of its editor, to warmly recoma.er.d it to the favor and patronage of the friends of the administration in Indiana. As a journal of the passing events it is truly interesting and valuable; but more particularly so in a political point of view. Located at the seat of the general government at the very fountain of slanders and raisrepresen'ations, of schemes and plans against the administration its importance in arresting error and in disseminating correct information, cannot be too highly prized, nor its circulation loo widely extended among our citizens. Specimens cf tho Globe may be seen at this cfliee, where subscriptions will be received and duly attended to. Prnfession vs. Pract.ee. The pervading argument in l early all ot our congressional circulars, is directed to one great prux ple the encouragement of home industry. '1 he policy is earnestly inculcated, that in order to forward

the prosperity of the country, it is necessary to protect and cherish iti labor, by buying its products in preterence to those of any tnher. We perfectly agree in the correctness and justice of this doctrine; and shall take the liberty to examine the practice of its assumed friends to see if it squaies wiih their professions. At the termination of each session of ci.n- ress, it i a custom of the members from Indiana, in particular, to issue a circular, giving their constituents an at count of their stewardship, as they call it. These circulars are long or khoit in proportion to the spir.t and vo ub li y cf the writer which n some de- ee de, et.d on the proximity or reaioitues of an eiectio aad

FRANCIS PRESTON HLaIU continues to publish, in Washington City, a Newspaper entitled The Globe, which has now beenestiblished about three months . Its present sub. scription, which is rapidly increasing-, insures its permanent existance. It will he devoted, as it has hitherto been, to the discussion and maintenance of the principles ''which brought General Jarkson into ollice;" which have been asserted in his fevei al Messages to Congress and sustained by the course of his administration. Asa means of pivir.gr permanent c fleet to those piinciples, the Globe will continue to advocate the election cf the President for a second term. His nomination for re election by the Republicans of many States, and other manifestations throughought the Union, Jetve no doubt of the desire of the people, that he shall follow in the footsteps of Washington and JeiTerron, by serving in the Chief IMagistiacy eight years. The Globe will not support or countenance any intrigues or cabals, having reference to the succession of Gen . Jackson. On the contrary, it will denounce and expose'all men and their acts, who may seek, by selfish intrigues, with a view to future aggrandizement, to embarrass the administration, deteat the efforts of the Rrssident to promote the public good, and sow discord and dissension in the republican l Tarty. It will hold no alliance with those who cannot postpone their personal pretensions to the interests or their country. The interest cf the American public is necessarily great in the political aflairs of Europe at this eventful crisis.j Arrangements will be completed, as eatly s possible, to secure for the Globe the means of giving the earliest information from that continent. It is intended also, to give the Globe a literary and miscellaneous character. Selection! from periodicals of the highest reputation will adorn its columns, to gratify tl e general te.uler; while, as a vehicle ot infoimation in relation to

manufactures,-agriculture, commerce, and the arts, it will he made subservient to the useful pursuits of the country . An ardent desire has been expressed to us by the friends of tl e Preside nt, that the Globe shall be made once a daily paper. Their wishes i,nall be promptly met, if they gve U3 promise of support . Lei them back their wishes wih sctual effort in obtaining subscribers, and the Globe shall be a daily paper in one month. With that view, the Editor ofiers this paper to the publ'c.
