Portland Gazette, And Maine Advertiser

That old England may be rendered completely odious our Democratic editors are at no small pains to pick up every little thing against her publish it One editor lately has spoken very tenderly of the oppression of the English game laws, and congratulates the happy people of this country, that they are exempt from such an arbitrary measure, and can shoot a squirrel when they please. This man seems wonderfully pleased that he has found one tax in England which is not yet imposed here But let this tender-hearted man make an estimate, on the revenue that might be raised, if a tax of one cent per yard, were imposed on the Philippics and squibs that are let off against old England An ad valorem duty would not raise much, but we think such an one as we have mentioned would lessen the profits of some of our newspaper establishments.
