Nothing more natural. The State of matrimony, we conclude, of course.—Balt. Sun.
The above undoubtedly means Alfred Kelley's celebrated, unequal and iniquitous tax law. Notwithstanding it may be beneficial to widows and bachelors, in the way above mentioned, yet we venture to assert that nine-tenths of the whigs and all the democrats in the State would greatly prefer the enactment of a law providing for the removal of the authors of that interesting law, far beyond the borders of Ohio.—Adams County Democrat.
