York Sessions on Wednesday as counsel ifr two pri soners —his first appearance as coul jd since his return. | ii ?! . I From the Cincinnati Republican. Direct Taxation by the General Govern ment. One of the most prominent of the doctrines of the present dominant party is, that the revenue of the nation must be raised by direct taxation- We ask the reflecting portion of both parties in Ohio seriously to consider this matter. Our taxes for State and other purposes are already onerous, and in the present depreciated state of business, we all leel that they are oppressive. Are you. People of Ohio, willing, in addition to what you already pay to be called upon by the tax collector of the General Government every year for a sum in addition, which perhaps would equal your State and County taxes 1 The time is at hand when your taxes will be due. VVe ask the farmer, the mechanic, the manufacturer and the merchant, if they do not find it a difficult matter to meet this demand! W e say to you, re elect Mr. Van Buren and in another year you will have an additional burthen of taxes to bear for the support of the National Government, and this to be paid in gold and silver. Heretofore, as you all know, the expenses of the General Government have been paid by pro ceeds of public lands and by the duties on foreign goods.—Since Mr. Van Buren went into office the expenditures of the nation have been TEN MILLIONS per year more than the whole gross receipts from these sources.—This is in part owing to the great increase of expenditures, and in pait to the diminution of imports and conse quent decrease of the amount received for duties. This deficiency must be provided sor —the last in stalment of the surplus which was to have been distributed among the Slates, has been retained and expended—an additional amount of the sur plus, about six millions, which was reserved for contingencies, has been used—the stock in the U. S. Bank has been sold, and $6,000,000 of the proceeds collected and expended, and in addition, bout five millions of Treasury notes issued, which are still in circulation. —There is no more surplus, no more stock to bo sold—duties on importations still diminishing—therefore it is in dispensable that there should be a diminution of expenditures, of from ten to fifteen millions annu ally, or this sum must be raised by a direct tax upon the people. We hear not one word from our rulers a-hout a reduction of salaries of officers. Oh no!—this we suppose would be anti-democratic. They tell us the wages of the laborer are too high, that they ought to he reduced to the “Cuba standard,” — that all kinds ofproduce are too dear—that wheat should come down to 25 cents per bushel, and other things in proportion—not a syllable about the coming down of salaries. It is mere conjecture that a direct tax will be levied. Hear what the leaders of “the party” themselves say on the subject. Mr. Rhett, a- dis tinguised leader, from South Carolina, after the passage of the Sub-Treasury bill said—“ Direct Taxation is not the only doctrine of democracy, but it is the doctrine of the Constitution.’ Mr. Pickens said, —“This is not the last act of the drama. There were great questions that lay behind this connected with the fiscal action of the government, and which we will be called onto decide in the next few years; they were all con nected with one great complicated system.” The New York Evening Post, Mr. Van Bu ren’s organ in that city, says; “Our candidates, to be successful, must have somewhat of a prophetic character; they must resemble, in this respect, our candidate already nominated, for the Presidency— the character istic features of wh*se present position in pre paration for a future series of public meas ures, of which he has as yet been able to give us but AJV INITIA TOR Y SAMPLE. No final measure is yet cosummated. Theyear 1842 is pregnant with important events and con sequences, and nothing has been or can now be done but to prepare for that crisis.—lt is then that our glorious Constitution will have to under go its trial ; and as we now well know that, so far as the President can control the progress of that trial, all will be safe.” Isaac Hill, Mr. Van Buren’s Receiver General in New England, proclaimed in a speech before the Democratic Association at Providence, R. 1., in March last, as doctrines of “the party”— “1. The abolition not only of all protective du ties, but of all import duties, and the abolition of the whole custom house system. “2. THAT THE EXPENSES OF THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE PAID BY A DIRECT TAX UPON PROP ERTY.” We might continue to quote autnorities to shew that these are doctrines of Locofoco party, but we presume the above are sufficient. Let us now see what were the opinions of some of the fathers and framers of this Govern ment on this subject. Hear James Madison.— He says:— “ It evident from the state of the country, from the habits of the people, from the experience we have had on the point itself, that it is impractica ble to raise any very considerable sums by direct taxation. The tax laws have in vain been mul tiplied; new methods to enforce the collection have in vain been tried; the public expectation has been uniformly disappointed, and the trea suries of the states have remained empty. No person, acquainted with what happens in other countries, will be surprised, at this circumstance. In so opulent a nation as that of Britain, where direct taxes, from superior wealth, must be much more tolerable, and from the vigor of the Govern ment, much more practicable than in America, far the greatest part of the national revenue is de rived from taxes of the indirect kind. In America, it is evident that we must a long time depend, for the means of revenue, chi /ly on duties. In most parts of it, excises must be confined within a narrow compass. The ge nius of the people will ill brook the inquisitive and peremptory sp rit of exeis’e laws. The pockets of the farmers, on the other hand, will reluctantly yield hut scanty supplies, in the un welcome shape of impositions on their houses and lands; and personal property is too pre carious and invisible a fund to be laid hold of in any other way than by the imperceptible agency of taxes on c msumption.” “It will be a fixed point of policy in our Na tional Administration,” “to go as far as may be possible in making the luxury of the rich tribu tary to the public treasury, in order to diminish the necessity of those impositions which might create dissatisfaction in thejooorer and more nu merous classes of society." In the Virginia Convention, when the adoption of the Constitution of the United States was un der consideration, Patrick Henry said :—“ When the harpies are aided by excisemen, who may search, at any lime, your houses and most secret recesses, will the people bear it! If you think so you differ from me.” President Monroe in the same Convention said: —“ To render this system (the Constitution) safe and proper, I would take from it one power only, that of Direct Taxation. My objections to this power are, that I conceive it to be unneces sary and impracticable in a democracy, if ex ercised, tending to anarchy or the subversion of tibehtt and probably the latter.” Col. Grayson said:—As to direct taxation, give up this (to the General Government) and you give up every thing, as it is the highest act of sovereignty, surrender up this, and you throw a way a pearl richer than all your tribe.” W r e say again, those who a’e in favor of Di rect Taxation should support Mr. Van Buren. and they will doubtless he gratified to their heart’s content. Mississippi —By the death of Gen. Hinds and by previous resignations the Van Buren party have lost the whole of their Electoral Ticket in Missis sippi, as originally nominated. We have not seen w ho the present nominees of the party are. Plain Questions and Answers. Between Poor Richard and an office-holder with a salary of $20,000 a year. - Poor Richard.—Captain, I see by the papers that our President has been sending across the ocean to see what kind of money the Kings and Emperors take of their people, and how they keep it. Do you know if he’s got ary answer yet 1 Captain.—Oh yes. The U. S. Consuls you see, have attended to it, knowing it was to help them to get gold for their salaries. P. R.—Well I reckon they got answers to please them then 1 Capt.—Why d’ye see—The answers from Hamburgh, Bremen, Cuba, Jamaica, Berlin, Frankfort in Germany, Leipsic in Saxony, Mu nich, Smyrna, Geneva, Laguira, Leghorn and Constantinople,show that they require everydollar of the people or revenue in any shape, in specie. Not a single dollar does the Emperor of Austria, the King of Prussia, the King of Sweden, the Grand Sultan or any of those arbitrary monarchs • take of their subjects ; but the real Benton shin ers, the hard silver—they don’t touch a dollar, sir, of bank rags, nor don’t put a dollar in the banks. P. R. Well.—l reckon specie must be easy got in those countries; the people get lively wages for their work, as there is no bank aristocrats. — These specie Emperors and Brokers, give fine prices for work, don’t they ? Capt.—Why as to that d’ye see—their sub jects don’t need as much as ours do here—as things arc cheaper there. P. R.—Well, land is cheap tool Capt.—Oh, the subjects don’t own any land, it all belongs to the Dukes and Lords. P. R.—What does the word subjects mean ? ('apt.—Subjects mean that they are under their Kings, Dukes, &c., just like you are under Pres ident Van Buren. P. R.—Why, how long have these subjects been working for their Kings, and Emperors, and Dukes and Lords, and hain’t gut no land of their own yet ? Capt.—Why, it’s some time since I studied geometry, but I guess these Empires are rather older than the American Revolution. P. R.—What! and the subjects hain’t earn’t any land of their own yet, getting specie for wa ges—why, how much do they get for a day’s work? Capt.—Why, the President don’t state what wages the subjects get, for he thinks the subjects oi'ght not to expect too much from the govern ment, and never thought of asking how much they gel for their work. P. R.—Well, I’m sorry our “democratic” Pres ident did’nt think a little about the people, while he was learning how the Kings and Emperors cake care of themselves. Well, I was asking George Jacobs the other day, who came from Holestem, and he says they only get seven-pence a day for work and board themselves; and there’s some in our neighborhood who came from Dantzic, from Hamburgh, and from Bre en, and they sav they got from 4$ to 8 pence a Jay and boarded them selves—they get from 52 to 100 shillings per year and find themselves. Why Captain, ain’t that the reason they can’t get to own any land there—they get such starving wages? Capt.—l’m very busy now my dear sir, the mail is just coming in, but you ain’t going to vole for old Granny Harrison I hope—are you ! P- R.—Why Captain, you are in a great flut ter—l’ve seen you ’afore stop and talk an hour and let all the mails in the country come and go. I wish you to answer me one question, and ifyou can’t do it, nor none of the office holders about here, just send on to Amos Kendall, and get him to answer it in his next Extra Globe you give me. Capt.—Well, what is it ? Be quick, for I’m in a hurry, P- K.—Be |»atient Captain—perhaps you’ll have leisure after a while. It is this—how long would it lake a man at 7 pence a day and find himself and family, to clear enough to buy 8!) acres of land ? and qnother query is, if it is such a fine thing to have specie wages and low prices, what on earth is the reason these people are coming over by hundreds and thousands from these specie kingdoms and going to work at a dol lar a day in this bank-ridden country to get land? What on earth is the reason, Captain ? Can you tell 1 And what’s the reason common people own land in this country and don’t m these specie countries ? What can it be 1 Capt.—Pshaw ? I see you area Federalist ? Steam Coaches.— We see by the late Eng lish papers, that experiments with the steam coach continue upon the common roads with great success, even mastering hills of great as cent On the hard level road, without slacken ing, a mile ha? been done in three minutes; when there were any obstacles, four minutes was the average, and in mounting an ascent, five minutes ta the mile. Thus twenty miles an hour was the maximum, and twelve the minimum rates. The boiler with which this was done had a fifty horse power. W< have as yet had no experiments of this kind upen our roads, and it is hardly probable that we shall until success is established in Eng land. Indeed, the majority of our common roads are in such a poor condition, that but few passen gers would like to go over them, at either 20 or even 12 miles an hour. On some of the New Eng land ro.ds, such particularly as are on the prin cipal routes in Connecticut and Massachusetts, such velocity in such a vehicle might be safe, but not over the corduroys of the West, or in tne muddy clay beds of the North. Indeed, it would lie a curiosity, greater than the sight of the first steamboat, to see one of these steam coaches breaking through the wilderness pathways of many parts of thefNorlh, and threading its way by stumps and dashing clown bushes, if not to (he amazement of by-slanders, certainly to the con sternation of all on board the vehicle. They would do, however, well to carry the mad on the great Cumberland Road, and it is worth the while of the States of Ohio and Indiana to watch the progress of the experiment step by step.— N. Y. Express. American Cottons. The Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures of Amsterdam has published a notice to the effect, that, according to arrangements made by his Ma jesty the Emperor of Russia, in concert with the Danish government, American cotton, no matter under what flag, and coming Irom any European ports excepting those of the Mediterranean, will be henceforth admitted into the Russian ports in the Baltic without being furnished with clean bills of health delivered by the Dutch quarantine offi cers. The American origin of the cotton must be proved by the requisite certificates delivered by the Russian Consuls in the ports from which it is consigned, or in the absence of consuls, by certificates of the local authorities. That fellow Gill, of the Boston Post, is an in corrigible poet. Speaking of a case before the police in that city, he says; “ Her feminine deli cacy forbade her confessing what her heait’s deep truth would not allow her to deny—that, of ah things above or below, the * bottle imp ’ was tne 4 god of her idolatry :’ ; —She never hid her love. But let indulgence, like a worm in the mud. Feed on her dirty cheek.’’ ’ V\ no is Louis Napolkan? —This question is answered by a correspondent of the Boston Times .The hero of the recent unlucky attempt at revolu tion in f ranee, f"-row as it is called in some ol the English papers,) is the son ol Louis Bon aparte, ex-King ot Holland, and of . lortense, the daughter ot the ex-Emprcss Josephine. His age is ?a;d to be about 33. A fiiedd in writing from Fayette county. Pa., informs us that lien. John H. Eaton the Biographer of Jackson, and ex-minister to Spain, delivered a very able speech on the 10th inst. in Lniontown to the Whigs, in which he denounced in the strongest terms the impolitic measures of the administration. He bore the most decided testimony to the repub lican principles and bravery of Gen. Harrison, and in the peroration of his eloquent address, avowed his determination to support him heartily and zeal ously in the ensuing contest. The writer adds: “ Some of the remarks of Gen. Eaton, confirmed me in an opinion long entertained and frequently expressed, that Martin Van Buren has ever been the most inveterate enemy of General Jackson.”— Wheeling Gazette. Thi North Carolina Capitol.—The Ral eigh Star thus speaks of the new Capitol in that city ; “It will be a treat to serve in our next Legislature, from the comfort and convenience which will lie enjoyed in the new Capitrl by the members, as well as from a consideration of the honor attached to the station. The halls design ed for their reception are distinguished by unusu al elegance. Tae space comprehended within them, the light reflected upon them from spacious windows, the seats upon which they are to sit, and the galleries intended for the accommodation of visiters, are all calculated to impart additional zest to a tour of Legislative service.” A Swahtwout taken. —Proler, the blacking maker, who recently absconded from New York, and who not only swindled the merchants of New York out of about but wrote back insulting letters, taunting them with their simplicity in letting him do so, the New York Sun says, has been arrested in Holland, and made to “ deliver up the deposites.” A strap ping New Yorker pursued the runaway in one of the steam packets, got to Holland before him, and actually made a prisoner of him on board the ship in which he had left America. Mdltum in Parvo.—An officer in the French army, named Kinderhagen, has inven ted a travelling chest for officers, which must be “ mighty convenient,” and exhibited in a remar kable degree the efficiency of contrivance in ma king the most of a little space. It is thus de scribed by the Army and Navy Chronicle. It is cubical in shape, two feet eight inches in length, one foot four inches in breadth, and one foot ten inches in height; and is made to contain a tent, in which 14 men can stand upright, and move about with ease; together with 16 port manteaus and an eating board ; a bed with hol low uprights of cast-iron, packed in a small tent, which serves both for canuopy and curtains, as well as for a work room ; an air mattrass, with sheet and coverlid ; one table, 2ft. Bm. long and 2lt. wide, and another Ift. 4in. square, of a qua drangular shape, available also as a backgammon or chess board ; a secretaire, and a board (or lay ing down maps and plans, 1 foot 5 inches long, and Ift. 3in. wide; a set of chess, backgammon, dominoes, and a pack of cards; a carpet bag for clothes and other wearing apparel; a receptacle lor boots and shoes; and five strong boxes, in which £ 1,000 of coin nay be deposited. The chest also contains a contrivance for giving its owner the use of a sleeping room, study, or sit ting room. The whole may be unpacked and made ready for use in a few minutes. COMMERCIAL.

Since our review of Saturday last there has been a further improvement in the demand for Cotton, buyers for Euiope as well as for the North ern markets having participated in the operations of the week. The larger portions of the sales have been of new Cotton, but the inquiry for old crop has been equally active, and the market is now pretty well swept of all that was offering. Through out the week, the market has maintained a very firm character, and the sales, especially of middling fair and fair qualities have generally been at slight ly improved rates, (o which our quotations have been made to confoim. Our receipts of lew cr®p now amount to 14337 bales—more than double the quantity received last seasen at a corresponding period. The sales during the week embrace about 6UOO bales. We have rather unfavorable accounts from sev eral sections of Louisiana, and also fron some parts of the State of Mississippi, in regard to the injury which the Cutworm is doing to the Cotton Plant. What is likely to be the extent of the damage, however, it is impossible to predict, with any de gree of accuracy at this time, and as it is not our province to give speculative opinions, we abstain from making further remark until we can speak with more certainty in regard to the probable re sult. By an arrival at Boston we have advices from Liverpool to the slh August, one day later than before. The sales on the 4th were 5200 bales, without change in prices. LIVERPOOL CASSIFICAION.
