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 nn sm, demanding an equalization of nil property on tho oilier.' WJiieh will you take, gentlemen ? Neither! Then we will go upon tho good old kick,'nnd ■permit every freeman to vote who sup ports ids country und her institutions, with his good right arm, and with oJl tlie other meuns in liU. power.
