Colonization Tar. 4 bill reported some days
previous. providing for the assessment IN favor
of the Colonization Society, SO far as concerns
Worcester county, was taken up. Mr.. Reeder
considered that if Worcester was allowed TO
contribute only in paying the expense of those
leaving that county, no tax would be imposed,
for none would go; and it worhd break up the
settled policy Of the State. Mr.. Vansant ar
gued that if Worcester was exempted the other
portions of the State would be taxed to make
up the deficit. The State was pledged to APP
propria,e SIC 900 annually Mr. Hook went
for repeating the original law-or else to allow
each portion Of the State to pay rateably for
those free oolored persons actually colonzlng.

the tax unequal. Slaves, caparisoned in fine
cloth. with tinscl, as seen in Baltimore, were

lie feared much of this fund accomplished little
good. MIR. Landing, in his peculiar stale, ar
gued thus Worcester pays its proportion OF the
colonization fund; sends no negroes away; ergo,
she pave for that which she receives not--so
the tax VIII never end. Mr.. Vansant could
not consent that this should be construed into
a Baltimore measure; that city, it was true, had
sent but few FREQ persons away, but paid about
$4,000 annual tax for that purpose MIR. Den
mis- moved the bill be recommitted, with view
Of making its provisions general, viz. each
county and Bait. city, to pay for only such as
emigrate thetfrom which, after some remarks
by Mr.. Ware, was concurrcd-in. The House
then adjourned.
