Some time since we noticed the
introduction Of a bill in our State
Legislature providing, that, in case

had before a Court of Justice, and
the fact ofsuch robbery establish
ed to the satisfaction Of said Court,
before the County Commissioners
should havepower to levy tax

We thought the bill had become a
law; and felt highly gratiGed,
thinking it would prevent such
hasty and injudicious action as
sometimes results from having the
remedy applied by special legiala-
ton. But as we find that on theI
18th Of March the H. r. passed a
bill for the relief Of Robert Stewart,
late Treasurer Of this comfy, we
suppose the bill first mentioned has
not become a law II the last
named bill passed the Senate, the

| This is enough 10 throw suspicion upon
every act of the Democratic Legislature,
and to warrant the people in concluding
that said Legislature was run as far as
practicable in the interests of the Dem
ocratic party, instead of In the interests
of the people.
Great extravaganza will also be found
in the local legislation of the General As.
sembly, which will go far towards swell
ing the footing of the tax duplicates to an
aggregate greatly in excess of any ever
before footed in the State For this, how
ever, the people resident in the different
parts OF the State where such taxation is
authorized, are in measure responsible,
and must shoulder their share of the
grumblings Of the taxpayers when they
come To pay the principal and interest Of
the local debts authorized to be contracted
by this general Assembly.
The Democracy elected this General AS
senbly on the cry Of retrenchment and
reform We have glanced at enough of
its recklessness and extravaganza to war
rant us in arraignipg it before The tax
payers as
lst The General Assembly that sat
the longest aud did the worst work Of any
General Assembly in the history of the
State.
I'd As the one that expended money
on party favorites and for un
usual and extraordinary purposes
Sd. AS the one that authorized local
burdens almost without limit, and at
rates of interest unprecedented in the his
tory of the State.
Let taxpayers consider these things.
