The democratic party seems to have forgotten
the resolutions dra-n by the late Sias Wright,
and often adopted By the general conventions Of
the democratic party at Baltimore The seventh
Of those resolutions refers to the subject Of slavery
ard is as follows
"Rssolved That Congress has no power, under
the constitution. to interfere WITH or control the
domestic institutions OF the several States and tba,
such states. the sole and proper judges Of every
thirg appertaining to their own affairs, not proh-
bted by the constitution: that all efforts Of ths
aboliiionists others made to induce Congress u
interfere With questions Of slavery, or to take inc
pent steps in relation thereto, are calculated q
lead TO the most alarming and dangerous conse
euences and that all such efforts have an inevita
bic tendency to diminish the happiness Of the peo-
pie and tndsnger the stability and permsnency VI
the Union, and ought not TO be countenanced b ,

Utlt due to Oliver Read, Esq, late
Collector OF Taxes, TO say rhn, lie was
not removed from Office, AT the late
Town Meeting for not having faithfully
discharged his duties il was one Of
those political freaks which will some
times occur in regard to the best Of
men. When Mr.. Read FIRST took the
Office, its affairs were in lanentably
deranged condition, and but few men
would have had the courage TO have
undertaken TO discharge its duties
For years previous, the bulk of the
Tax was not collected until within
short time of ordering n new Tax
and even then all the Taxes were not
collected When Mr.. Rad came in,
after having collected the Tax assess
ed while the late Mr.. Hull was Co'lec-
tor, at his own request, the Town order
cd the Tax to be collected in sixty
days. Mr.. Read carried out the law TO
the letter and collected every cent
within the required Time, aud he only
asked $500 for his services, while $500,
and even more bad been paid TO pre-
vious Collectors.
I, II TO Mr.. Read, therefore, that our
citizens are indebted for the improve
menis which have been made in the
system of collecting Taxes, and the
saving Of an important sum to the
Town. As Collector Of Taxes he has
never had his cpuai in this town. No
man who voted agains, him could pos
sihly question his admirable quaiIiica-
lions for The Office. Hs successor,
james HorsweIl, Esq has compara-
,ivc'y easy duty to discharge, as he
will only have to follow up the system
established by Mr.. Read, and which he
prosecuted with SO much energy and
ability.
