The manufacturers of fertilizers in
Baltimore are ;' exceedingly stirred .
over the $500 tax, levied by our Le-i
gislature upon their odorous com
pounas. But why,' we cannot !.see,
as their insolent organ, ihet Mulletin,
claps its dirty little hands and 'says:
"The sum of ; the matter, therefore,1
- stands thus: 50x500 $25,000 the amount;
which tbe people of .North Carolina" are .
proposing to tax themselves : for fertilizers ,
. rhrder ; pretence ?of . taxing non-resident
dealers." " ; ii 'f'yfi-'-ilr
Why should the manufacturers be-t
corae angry and abusiya if the hard
worked, poorly paid farmer is to pay
the piper w hile : "the city gentry do

the question of the justiee or- injus

folly of the law, We wishto eppj.
the following unkind and -slanderous
