ANSWER TO “ VIRGILUJS.”
We do not w i sli to tire oufourreader* with over-
lasting article* upon the Bridge, but it doe* seem
to tl* a matter.of such vital importance to the in-
terett* of tlio city, that wo could'not injustice to
our patron*, intermithny exertion ofours to place
tliem in full possession of all its boatings. More
over, Wo are somewhat bound to pursue it fiirther,
having laid over several ofthe points upon which
great stress was laid by “ Virgilius,” until a more
convenient season.
Tlie first thing that struck ns forcibly among
these reserved points, was the willingness of our
opponents to have a Bridge over the Back River,
and yet th^ir earnest and otrenuous opposition to
tho saifie measure over the South Branch. This,
to be sure, is all laid to the account of economy—
and those everlastiugsand bars; but, is there not
another solution* of the mystery? Would not
horse or steam ferryboats, over one branch, as
effectually cut off the wood and lumber trade, os
the present plan doesf For ourselves, we are
for the Bridges^ or nothing. Halfway measure*
will only ^defeat us in nine-tenths of the objects
designed to bo effected by the.tnoro enlarged
plan. The expense would be nearly one half,
and the benefits not one-fiftieth part of those pro
posed* by a continuous cominutfication. Our
marketingwould-be^veiy little improved, cattle'
wonld be mainly excluded—and so, as to wood,
lumber and agricultural products generally. Tlie
sand bars wo have already removed, if there was
ever any real opposition on that ground, and we
would now only &*kotir adversaries on this point,
why these obstructions have never occurred in
the channel of the River at Augusta/ in conse
quence of their Bridge. There, steamboats pur
sue the oldchaunels, just as if no Bridge was
there. But they cannot be serious in urging this
point—die design is too palpable for a moment’s
further consideration.
On the pro rata tax, wo do not understand
*• VirgiUu*" clearly, they are already so levied as
neatly a* prUcUcabie—^viui then dues he mean t
is it his meaning—that^ die votes on the question
of Bridge or no Bridge, shall be pro rata too ? If
•o, we think we have given him a knotty point to
solve in relation to it, in yesterday afternoon's
paper—which it will take him quite until Saturday
to do. Lest, however, there should be any mis
understanding On this ppint r we will endeavor to
elucidate it a litile further.
Men of largo property, in every practical op.
oration of our Republican system, are very apt
to tiilnk and feel that tiiey do not exorcise tiieir
proper influence, in those measures touching the
laying of taxes^-snpport of government, &c.—
They say to diemselves—is it reasonable that I—
A. B., paying one thousand dollar* of taxes, should
have no more voice in the matter than C. D., who
only pays five dollars t They forget that they re
ceive protection from tile Government exactly in
proportion to the extent of their possessions—
d% forget thavin time of war or invasion, the
five dollar tax-payers are called out to Jefcud them
pud tiieir property, exactly as if all were equally
in danger Those without these troublesome in-
cuifiberanOes could nearly always elude the dan
ger, bat would it be right to leave these substan
tial gentlemen to defend tiieir possessions alone ?
Certainly not, but let the pro per authoritie s call up *
on all men equally, as ull men arc equally taxed.
Nor are tlie rich without protection in tho matter
of taxation, when considered isolated from the'
protection of nmnber*. A pro rata tax, fulls as
heuvily on the humble as upon the wealthy, be-
cuufee, tlie per centage is tlie saW; Aid one per
cent: upoti ari individual ofrning only one thou
sand dollars, fulls as heavily, or more so, upon
him, than it does upon one owning an -hundred
thousand. More so, because your hundred thou
sand dollar gentlemen, has always surplus means
at hand, whilo the humble meclianic has not a
dollar, out of immediate use. It would, there
fore, be much more true to say that taxation bears
its heaviest weight us it goes down in, tlie scale,
than that those are most oppressed who pay the
largest-sum. Now, the question recurs—shall
every man owning ten thousand dollars worth of
taxable ‘property, have ten times as many vote*
os one pQiscsing one thousand 1 If so, a revolu
tion is commencing already, and one, too, having
entirely different principles for its basis—to what
lias been generally apprehended of late days. A
grarimiisin has been rearing its monstrous head
!n*the Northern horizon but.reccntly, viz: those
who arc for a general and equal distribution of all
property . This would equalize our (axes with a
vengeanceperhaps “Virgilus" and “Olio Dou
bly Interested," Would prefer to solve tlie dilenv
uiA after tills fashion. , If.so, and all our worthy
Cits are agreed to it, we are sure that we have no
kind of objection. Come, gentlemen, shuflle the
curds, and* let us have ( a new deal, and try the
game of life overuguin. All old scores shall,bo
wijred out, and we will begin dt novo. Here are
the two lio.rn.1 of tho dilemma—Wealth, claiming
exclusive privileges on flic one hand, nnd agrari

Neither! Then we will go upon tho good old
