disputes the legality of the position which have
'Jkcn on the subject, but the influence Of the
ich Is eXerted in every possible way to prevent
my sort of action being taken towards rectiiy-
ing what is wrong. Some months ago | stated to
the Comm ssOners of hartford county that

TO proceed to endeavOr to collie, the said tax, IS

My object is to nave the legality of the exist

there have il decided, finally, whether the Leg

fore the courts. II so. II may be well for these
people to recollect that II the outraged citizens
are once aroused they may yet compel the pay
ment OF taxes due in past years on those things
that have been exempted from taxation in deli

Let the Commissioners and the I Collector
do their duty in this case, and let US know
whether in the matter of taxation we are any
better of than We would be If our government
were an absolute monarchy.
