And troy might havo added that
us,ead Of levyiug direct tax for tho

$4,000 Of Tho bounty money to pay for it.
Ho also tells us that s7,72s.45 was the
drst bounty tu1!levied instead Of s27 600.
Our statement vas that the full! bounty
debt, which "Troy" has neglected to give,
was about $4,000. and you will see BY
his own statemant that over that amount
hos been paid into the Treasury, and yet
you are afflicted with tho same tax again

But "Troy" fails in the above to give
satisfaction us to h,w the financial affairs
Of tho county are conducted, which is the
great desire of the people, nor could he
do SO with less than full expose Of the
accounts. For tho present, however, we
will drop the subject.
