such immunity as that you cannot rightfully contract to pay me other funds than my own paper for flu ture services. The county cred itor is part and parcel of the whole body polite, and his voice is blended with that of the whole people when they speak into ex- istence the organic law. He, with others, has made these provisions, and they can and do stand with out impairing the obligation of the contract between him and his county. Ample provision is made for the payment of his debt. At the time of the ratification of our constitution we all agreed to dis tinct levies of taxes for the benc- fits of county government in the future, and a distinct levy for the benefit of the past--like men let us stand to the agreement, and soon we shall be in q state of firm financial health.
 The county courts should make the necessary orders when assess ments are made to carry out the foregoing provisions of the con stitution. Your servant,
