County Levy, 1852.

n compliance with the provision dissection
L 9 OF Article 28 Of the Code Of ublic
General Laws Of Maryland. the following
statement of the levy for 1852. to meet the
current expenses of the County for that year,
Is herewith submitted and published by the
direction of the County Commissioners OF
AllpQany County:
The whole levy amounts 10 the aggregate
suTn Of SS5. 764.96. for the payment of which
frrty cents in each hundred dollars. upon the
assessed property in snd County, were levied,
which assessment amounts to SO 1881 40 fer
the present wear, exceeding that of the last
year S373.17e. The assessment stands Mt
higher figure now thxn nj any previous time
since the general assessment VI 1852. This
large increase is the result Of much pains and
labor on the part Of the Commissioners, in
pnttin2 nrnn the County books property and
persons heretofore nnasscssed. 1t is proper
to state that $4,000 Of the above was re-
turned by the late Collector. |; 'vill he seen
thar State and County tax Of S2.429 will
be thus secured not before realized.
The per crntage for 1862 exceeds that of
the previous year si4 cents in the hundred
dollars for the County tax This increase is
owing TO the insufficient levics of 1851, and
connection with several fresh,ts within the
last nine months have rendered extraordinary
lrvies for that purpose absolutely necessary.
TIE amount appropriated at the late session
for the roads amounts to $7,430; for 1861 it
WIS only S2547; $1,000 were levied for the
use Of the City ct Cumberland in accordance
with lnng established usage, but this levy
WAS withheld from the city for the last year
or two. Had thu latter levy been refused,
and that fer the roads been kept at the
amount of last wear, the per centage for the
County tax would have been less than "a
cents In the hundred dplars-which was the
levy for the ycar 1851.
The present levy for the State tax is TWEEN
ty-fve cents in the hundred dollars. II was
pnt at that rate by the act of 1882. chapter
1876.

Mayor Wightman's Letter.
MAYoR's OFFICE, CITY HALL,
Boston. Nav %. 1860

SR:-I am induced to write you this from
a sense of duty, for the purpose of repudiat-
ing, in the most emphatic manner, the idea
that the governor of Massachusetts is author
lied to speak for the loyal citizens of the
state in proposing any conditions in regard to
the question OF slavery, as affecting further
requisition by you for volunteers. There NAV
possibly, be small sections or towns in the
commonwealth where the doctrine of eman-
cipation and arming the slaves is regarded
with favor, and might be made an excuse for
non-enlistment, but assure your excellencv
that In Boston, and believe in large major
lty OF the other cities and towns in the state
the mlngling of questions in relation to slave
ry with the crushing out of the present re-
bellion is viewed with the strongest feelings of
disapprobation, while the efforts YOU have
made to resist the Interpolation of this dis
cordant element, and to restore the Union on
| the basis of the constitution, as evinced in
| your appointment of governors johnson and
| Stanly, your sustaining of Gen. Mcclellan,
and your general conservatism in all the eS-
sential matters pertaining TO the conduct of
the war, have given hope and confidence to
| every UniOn-loving heart in our state.
Notwithstanding the opinions of the gov
ernor, believe that Massachusetts, may be
relied upon for any call you may make upon
her patriotism in the present emergency, and
that her citizens generally have no sympathy
with those who are agitating the question of
emancipation at this time, and l am confident
that if this subject was introducedin conformi-
| ty with the views of Gov. Andrew it would
produce a serious if not an irreparable injury
| to the cause of enlistment.
| beg you, therefore, to make your requisi-
| ton upon the state of Massachusetts, with con-
tidence in the loyalty and devotion of her citi-
zens, and with the assurance that Boston will
as cheertully respond to the future in the
| past to any demand of the government.
Trusting that you will continue to be firm
and resolute in your endeavors for the restor-
| alton and welfare of our common country,
and in Ignoring all other issues which tend to
prevent the accomplishment of this great OBJ
| ject, have the honor to be, sir, with great
| respect your Obedient servant,
JOHN NJ. WIGHTMAN, Mayor.

dent of the United States, Washington.
