The Crisis in the history of our Country Lns arrived when every one should do his or ber duty, and their whole duty. * The struggle for indepen dence has fallen very unequally upon the differ ent individuals io our community, as well os p?berr, of nearly ail classes, among whom the subscriber is one, on whom the burthen of war has been but light. Th;rc its those who have sent and sustained their sons; there are those who have -no 5"n? to send : there a;e tiosq whoie husband's are gone, and like the poor trfdew . f who cast in two mites," they have thrown In . all their living ; and there are those who have ?3$ I.iisband.; ^scnJ. Now, gentlemen^ tho suggestion wa wish to ^aake to the fortunate elect, is this: That at tbe peat meeting of ?-ur Legislature a WU be pro posed to levy a special tai in kind on all tho?e who aro not si'rviug, ox have n??t sons or husbands in service, or have not lost sons or busbnnds in ^the service of our common country, for thebonefit of the destitute widows and orphans, wives und* children, who hare stood and aro standing be tween us und s mereile'es foe. You may^irobably think that the Legislature has" made ample pro yisiou for this class of parsons, but wo UL H wc?? it has not. ?ur Leg?jature has done" well and wisely in furmisbirig bread ?c., hut ibero ure ma jiy without meat, or the mean3 of procuring it. Kow there are a freot many persons cmoijg us who are net doing th'-ir CO-Btry any service, ex cept such as is imposed by taxation. They too, or ?any of them, possess large estates, and are enjoying a superabundance of1^ tire luxuries of life. We think that it is but a reasonable con clusion that every true-hearted Southern man or j woman will be willing to bear a proportionate, part of tho heavy burthen resting on us by giving a part of their abundance ta feed the hungry wives, widows and children of our poor soldiers who have acted so bravely and nobly in sncriti ?ing their lives, r-nd every thing eira in the, cause of liberty and independenco. Wc will all expect to ?hare ? (juiilly (bc'pricclcss boon when obtained. In Conclusion, gentlemen, we will be pleased Ju j hearfrem y-n though the press er idhcrwfcc.
