Among all the tyrannical systems ever established, there | isnot one worse than the Vouseription. [1 takes away the! child from the parent, and at the most dangerous period of | his tie exposes him to all the demoralizition of the camp. [tis a tax of blo d on the poor, but only a trifling tax on ‘the nich. For example, by paying into the Military Chest | in France 2U00. franes, equal to £80 sterling. and in Spar: |

d ule the sum io ths country, is as unattaina le as a mi'lion | —must go to whe ever the ambition of his rulers may seud him, exposed to all the horrors of war, Hence it is that in| | whatever cuuntry the Conscription exists, the people eee ra'e both morally aud physies!iy from natural causes; av: acebiury Of conscription will. if persevered in, produce a | stunted race, in the Pope's States all the army are volun- teers, All around him the conscription exists; the tax of blood is most rigid’y enforce |, but the Father of the Fauhfu

is only de ended by willug hands,

The taxes are lighter than in any other Kuropean country, | and would be seareely felt but forth» pluoder of the Freneh | in the time of Pius VIL., when» tax ot four millions pounds | sterling was imposed on the States, The very chalices from | the altars were melted dowa to pay it and the jewels of the} Pope's tiara were sold for the same purpose. Tne subse. | quent deportation of Pius VI. and Pias VLL., and the various | revolutions excited by wicked meu for their owa vile euds— | have ali entailed a heavy debt on the Government. | Some will tell you gravely thar Keclesiastical property | does not pay its share of taxa‘ion. Weil, what is the fact ? All property of that oarure pays the ordinary tax like any) other, aud then an additional tax of six per ceat be-ides |

No periodical tamines, no ejectment~ disgrace the Paya’ | State-, There, at all events, the Government prteets the laborer, and tells the landlords that property bas its vuties jas well as its rights. On that accoygnt, alse, the Couraiiny | 'or peasauiry are most attached to the Papal Government ; | aud if universal suffiage was not a farce as long +s vo ex are | given under the dogver, the real feelings of the people woul : | be easily knowu. But people here will say why do not the god ten vote and put down the scoundrel minority, which | robs them of all they hold dear, and o, presses them. There | are several reasons. [ will s:ate a few.

1. Tue peop e in general, n ver h.ving been acca-tomed (to any other than a pateroai Government, are apathetn. They do not want to voe They do vot understind the bear- (ings or value of voting; and if the priests, for example. | should attempt to instruct or influence them, it would be a lerime against liberalism, in Many cases to be pumished w.th death by assa-sination. | 2. The Seeret >0 icties, generally called by the name of Ca:bouarism. Of ali tue curses the Devil has ever inflicted on mankind, the Ca bonari or Ltajian Secret Societies is the | greatest. Once @ man is evtangled in tuem there is no hop tor him, esp@eially if be be deeply implicat-d in their seore’s | Ute must be faithful or he dies by the dagger. An election, ‘for example, is about to come on in which the Carbonari ‘have an interest. Aa order goes forth in darkuess frou the Cowmittee of the Society to paralyse the ¢( burch party, | {wo or three victims, well knowa for their atrachment to ‘the ancient o.der, are marked out, and the afligiiati are order d to di-paten them— an order which mus: be obeyed funder pan vt death. Tue dagyer sirikes the vicum—al/ | opposiiou ceases ; a reign of terror is establisned ; few vote atal; bat all woo do, ke care mot to provoke the fate o their assassiaa ed friends; and the Kagish, and Breach. and | other papers in the pay of the party, publish the iam, bun lresut of the elec ivas for their Pirtisavs, though it is tue dag se: and pot the bal.ot box that bas done it.

Bat some will say, where is the trade of this country ?- - see how ‘lull her cities are. Well, surely the Governmeut jcanvot make traders of people against their wiil—aya nst | their nature. The L[taiiaus have vot the feverish desire vu! | wealth which urgasen the Hoyglisuman or American to be always accumulaiing—never enjoying No. they take u |More ratioual view o! life, aud do uot put wealih above ail | other earthly biessings. But then, again, consider, the coun- ‘try supports in happiness twenty-s:x uillioas of people. | Take, tor exainple, a town of the size of Charlottetswu ; | well, within ten miles of ‘he town aii that is required tor is Inhabitants Is easily produced with very littie exception — such-as fancy goods, Co‘ouial proiuce, printed cottuus, aud a tew other trifling arucles. heir bread aud wine—the staff ‘ot \ife—are produced at their owu dours,—tieir olive grouud - j give them buth light aud tvod,—their tittle pateh of towu forest, fuel or charcoai,—meat, poultry, vegeiwoles and trust are produced ia the greatest svuuiance; gu there is po tha necessity for foreigu cowmerce tuat exists in jess favoured lands, where a great part of ibe necessaries of tife are uuly to be procured by exctanyes wih other nations,
