L i i - this, unless you alter tUe"?ontitio Mid Tor Bu8iQS5 The Whigs, then, propose to tax the rich man according to his riches and the poor man according to his poverty. Ihe Democrats propose to let one halt of th$ rich man'g negro go - scot free and to tax the other half as persons- ike and the same as white men-and ;o make up the deficiency by taxing every other class and interest "of pro perty which, of course, means all the poor jman has. But will not ad valor em bear v ery hard on the slaveholder? No ! j The slaveholder generally awns landi on which he now pays too much, besides his negroes on which he now pays1 too little. One thousand dollars of land now 1 ; repeat pay to the Statfe S2. A negro worth one thous and pays 80 cents tthesa together makjs 2.80. On the ad valorem prin cinld his land will, nay Sl.-lz and his negro the same, making $2.84. Thus the tax is reduced on the land oo cents, and increased on the poll 62 cents, making the property holder of 2,00Q worth of land and negroes pay 4 cents more than he does - now. In fact, he payjf nothing" more, for my calculation raises more revenue inan z necessary. But some people think this equal andijust taxation system will run the negj-oes out of the State. Where will they go ? In Delaware, Maryland, South Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky, andj Mississippi, the Legislatures are unrestricted on the subject of taxation. In Irssouri, all property is taxed ad valorem. In Florida, taxation is "uni form and equal" on all property. In Alabama, lands are taxed ad valorem, and! negroes at the pleasure of the Leg islature. In Louisiana, all property is taxed according. to value. In Texas and Arkansas the same. In Tennes- an? OTg jthe, jhe device ..pV' ? yl6rejn tojeasroposed J pfecient lUiSlIslandy-: iWiW.
