The following resolutions were submitted and
adopted:
WHEREAS, Freedom Of speech and freedom Of
The press, are the dearest among the ineslimable
rights guaranteed TO US by our Revolutionary an
cesors; and whereas, should we laInely submit
10 yield these strong holds Of freedom al the be-
hest Of the powers that be, we but prepare our
selves TO become the submissive instruments Of a

Resolved, That the efforts made by james K.
Polk and those who lawn around him, to sthe all
discussion which is not applobaiory Of his acts as
Presidentof the Repubic-Ihereby vainly hoping
10 shield his conduct from the investigation Of an
outraged and indignant people-are ani-republ.
ran and despolic in their character; and merit The
scorn and contempt of every American freeman.
Resolved, That as the people Of these States
have always Justly condemned the 'sedition' law
Of by-gone days-which made it criminal to speak
against the acts of those invested with power
so will they continue to exhibit the same stern
spirit of freemen; and will firmly and fearlessly
oppose that practical 'sedilion' law which is again
attempted 10 be fastened upon them; even though
the cry of "tory and traitor" may be bawled by
every unpnncipled demagogue in the land.
Resolved, That public officers are but the ser.
wants of the people-and that it is not only the
right but the duty of the people, to scrutnize and
investigate their official conduct, without being
denounced and abused for such investigation and
scrutiny.

STATE FINANCES.

The amount Of the deficit in the State Reye.
nues for the six years, from 1899 to I844, inclu.
sivo, was VI $50, 400 So. We refer for evidence
Of this fact to report made in the Senate on the
7th February, I845, which will be found in he
appendix to the Senate Journal of l844-5, page
81. The taxes for the revenues Of 1915 were
levied by Mr.. Brough, the Democratic Auditor,
in 1914. The deficit for the year 845, which
should have been supplied by the taxes levied in
1914, appears by the auditors report, made on
the 9Th December, l845, page 4, to have been
$286, ,48l So.
Hero then is a total deficit in seven years of
81 1856 972 A.. That is, the State Debt was in.
creased by the neglect 10 use no harsher term)
Of the Democratic rulers Of the State, one mil.
lion eight hundred and thirty sir thousand nine
hundred and seUenty.tpo dollars and fOriy.One
cents, in seven ycarsl
How long would it require 10 pay off the State
debt al this ratel or rather how long would it
have taken TO sink the State into repudiaIion If
the Stale government had continued in the hands
OF the Locoloco por,yl
! The answer 10 this question can be easily Civ
en-. In various parts Of the State, leading Demo.
Gratis and Democratic papers began 10 inculcate
doctrines, the eviden, tendency of which was
reputation, and in March, l843, u strong effort
was made by portion of the Democratic Sena.
tors and Representatives in each House, virtually
to rePuda'e the payment of the interes, upon
our State debt. To prove this fact we refer TO
lhe Senate Journal Of March OH, l843, and to
the House Journal Of March 7lh, l84S.
| lf these movements had prevailed we would
soon have arrived, in the expressive language oi
! Mr.. Brough, al the end;-''A State diSh0nOred
and constituency disgrGcsd."
Let US now contrast with this state Of affairs
the Whig policy and Wing measures.

COMMUNICATION.
For the Free Press.

MEsSRs. EDIToRs:--The recent effort Of a few
ignorant and dishonest persons, TO propagate the
idea that the lax law, now n force in this State,
tended 10 an increase OF tax on the farmers, has
induced me to look into this matter, and give the
result Of my investigation 10 the public. Instead
Of increasing their burhens, alledge, that they
pay less tax under the present law than they
would under the old law. Figures are Stubborn
things, and wont lie. And respectfully refer
every taxpayer in the county TO the Auditors
Books, where he will find the basis of my calcu.
Iation and every material fact thatIaIledge.
The deficit in The amount of revenue for the
year A. D., l845, was $3.50, ,481 SO. (See Au.
ditor's Report of 9th Dec. 845, page ~ This
amount had TO be made up by additional taxation;
and this addition must bo either by increasing The
percentum on the then valuation of the State or
by bringing new ubjects Of taxation on the du-
pcate. The latter was the plan adopted. To
meet this deficit in the interest fund, and TO the
payment of our domestic Bonds, there is an ad-
ditiona amount of money levied this year in
Carroll county, Of 1919 Sc. (See Auditors
Books.( This amount would have 10 have been
raised whether the lax law was changed or not.
But my object is 10 prove, by figures, that the
farmers pay less proportion Of the tax than
they did under The old law.
The aggregate amount Of the valua.
tion Of property, both real and
personal, in 1914, was, in round
numbers, $4,000.
The amount Of Merchants capital
money at interest, and Pleasure
Carriages, was nearly, $4,000
The balauceof the aggregate amount
was the value of real estate and
b domestic animals, amountingto, 742,O00
The tax for 1914. was l6 mills on the dollar
The aggregate valuation for l847, is 2,8l5,990
The amount of Merchants capital,
monies and credits, Pleasure car.
riages and watches, is about 268, 900
The balance of The whole amounts
the value Of real estate and do.
mestic animals, q,547 800
The tax this year is 81 mills on the dollar. In
1914, Merchants capital and money at interest,
paid about one twenly-(0urth Of The lax. In
l647, ii pays about one-tenIh of the lax.
In 1914, Merchants capital and mo.
ney at interest, paid Al IT. mills on
the dollar, s52s 90
In l847 at 81 mills, il pays, l,54I 90
Over one thousand dollars more than it paid
under the old law.
The increase Of Merchants capital,
money and credits, this year over
1914, is about 235,ooo
The tax on this at 81 mills on the
dollar, is 1850 90
Being thirty eight dollars more than the in.
crease of thelevy this year over last.
The farmers paid in 1914, ON their
horses and cattle $3.50 90
In l847, they pay on their horses,
cattle, sheep, hogs, &C., 1881 90
