The Impressment Act recently pscaf?
by Congress, say* the Richmond Whig#
should have the effect of increasing the
supplies of provisions and linage in thin
market, and consequently, of reducing the
prices ot the same to something like a
reasonable standard. Farmers have hitherto
been deterred from sending their products
to market from tbu apprehension
that they would be impressed at lass than
the market rates, or without "joat compensation."?The
recent order of
tant Cooper declaring that "no officer th*tt
at any tune, unless specially ordered to jo
so by a General commanding, in caco of
! exigency, impress supplies which are <Mt
their way to market, fur sale on arrival/*
should, of itsclt, induce the agriculturist!'
to send in supp ics of subsistence, whi*
are so much needed in the cities and lucn.
Hut with tbu additional assunurac provided
in the Impressment Act, that UM
property ot a producer when iopremdl,
uhall I... r.ln-fl I ? .. I? - ' * t ?" -
? - "J -j.?"*?oc.o 01 me riatmn^o,
ciiRuririi}: -4ju*t compensation" (bf?
lore, th' re should no longer be any heptat
ion on the j>*rt of producer* to watf
aoppiiea to market. On the contrary*
with the protecti n now ^u-tranlied to thcM
by that Act, ibey should esteem it a duty
to relieve the distress occasioned by th*
1 scarcity of provisions, in those portion* of
1 the Slate fjoiu which supplies hare b?UB
wuheld. T!rey h vc the incentive of fVmiincrative
prices, and should not forgUt
that under the operation of the Tax Bi?|,
and othor Act* ot Conj;rca?,a decline from
currant rates is more than probably
tonfederuit ilnaucsi.
We concur with our coteinp'rary of
the Mercury, in uti other very imported!
matter, besides that of Conlcd.-rate Fuadaldes.
The burden of taxation Statu
and OwMaaerate, should b: laid, as lightly
i?n possible, on our suffering people of th*
present d;tV. We to dav nri> t?a?rinA
- J X-J -;*w '^rprito
ot our righteous war of defence
in blood ami wounds an.] death, in heartp
wrt ung and a (initialled by the loea of lathers,
husband*. son* and brothers, and in every
sort ot peraon.il privation anj Buffering,
wild it is but just and right that paatrril^
should pay, in uioney, the price nf lk|t
heritage of freedom, prosperity and glory,
which we will bequeath fhemjlby the ac<
cessful prosecution of that war. 'Most off
us will pass from the stage of sxistene^,
long be lore we can enjoy any cotupeoaatiou
tor the blood, we are iiow lavishly expending,
and the suffering* we are nod
painfully enduring, while posterity wiU
