The following is the portion of tho Whig Platform which relatoa to this subject : . , " Wliirtat, Great equality exists in the present mode of taxation, and it is just and right that all property should contribute its proportion to ward the burdens of State : - . ' " "1. Rctcivtd, That we recommend a Conven tion of the people of the Bute to be called en the federal basis a early as practicable for the purpose of bo tnodifyins the Constitution that every species of property may be taxed accord ing to ita value, with power to discriminate only hi favor of the native products of onr 8tate and the industrial pursuits of her citizens." Tlie chief inequality, if not the only one com plained of is, that land, and" 'other subjects of taxation are assessed according t.o their value, whilst negroes, now tho largest tingle species of property in the Slate, and the ooo most readily ...r.n.),U inino.h nv fr Ui ihsn ihi-ir ).... wv.. w.w ... . - - proportion, according to (heir value, As wm shown by Gov. Graham, this concession was made to the slaVeholdcn in 1835, as a consideration for the concession to the laiidholders of an ex clusive representation in the State Senate. The reason for the concession no longer exists. De mocracy has wrested from the landholders their part of the benefits of this compromise, and there is therefore no reason for continuing the unequal burden on tbeio.

Can any fair man whose property consist in negroes, really desire that bia neighbor whose property consists in lands, shall pay for his protection in negro property? Wo cannot believe it.
