taken as the basis of the levy-and the white
and black population OF the counties are
| added together. This process brings to
Prince George a quota far beyond what is
| equitable, Tor 1t compels her to furnish Il
much larger number than some other coun
ties which have greater free voting popu
lation.
This is not all-part of the very property
upon which this basis is laid has been taken
from las by the action of the authorities who
now seek to tax it for both civil and military
purposes. Such an outrage has never been
pcrpetrated before upon people whose
only CRIME Is That they Ito not approve the
pohcy OF an Administration whose princi-
pies, and practlscs IT carried out must result
Ill the sacriilcc OF Their rights OF property

We elm the above rrowls from the
Prince Georte's county uapcrs. and give
them d prominent insertion. in order that
o,r. readers may see the sublime impudence
of the Negro Olaarchv Of MARYLAND.
According TO. the ccnsus of 1860 Coc;
county has n ponulatiop of 10 COG wb;toc
and 3. lG7 blacks. while Prince Georrc-s has
n nonulot;on of o $50 whites ard; 10 c--
blacks: vet bv nol;t;co] uaolcrv the h, sic of
our Legislative annortionmcnt ;s sucb that
Prince George $ sends one Senator and three
DELEGATES to the LIE .islature. and Cecil sends
the same number. In other words our
legislative basis is the entire nonulot;on-
tbc white man and ,he naoro eouul;n. inst
the same. cxcept that $3.50 whites in Prince
GEORGES can throw as many votes ~ can
10, 996 whites in Cecil, or at least can WELD
an equal political influence in the LEGISLATION
of the State. In the ewes of these lower
