tionj; but the f ropoled double tax,
it i$ expeaedj "would induce the
owners of property, xvho live at a

' If entered ; . .
, Mr. F. WA RE Did, tha at

the faxes' upon, it ' were T.vt loft to
the State. ;G;-nilemen fieed only
look. into the State gazette, and
l!f conttanlty fee a long
liftjoT the advettifefnents of She
rifF$ for the Tale of unentered lands
for the taxes diuej on them. He did
notjmean to exonerite any property
f rotn ta x, ; what he wiflied, was, that
thejtax (houldjbe equal to all.
Mr. Alunber believed fuS
cient had been jfajd, ap convince the
hwife that the jbili was proper as it
noy ftotd. If an obieftion tould
be tnade to a double tax being laid
inany inftance!, it would be in cafes
where owners were not resident
w.jhin the Stated There might be
:. fofne reafon .in exempting from the
double tax fuK peribns as refided
; in Unpthef Stte or f n a foreign
. country ; but furely it could be no
hardlhip oh any pet Ion refiding
within the State ; bscatife every
cit izen is fuppofed robe acquainted
with the laws of the government
tinder wh:ch he lives! If theigen.:
tlemn from" Rutherford ; would
confine his amendment in this way,
he (hould notjolbjefi tot it. ' ' - -
Mr: E r w t t ob le rved, that it
was the intention of j this bill to
guard again fl jhat lofs which va at
prefent (uftained by the . revenue,
owing to perfons living out of the
country "where their, property ly.
not giving it in. It was well known,
that in the . weftern counties, cot
one half of the land would be given
in, except this double tax was laid.
Though the owners of
not. live in tne- atateg tney were
dbubtfefs acquainted wi h the la ws
in force where their property lay.
and heSoped- the amendment would
