ever levied upon our people for state
government he is an honest man,
and viii tell you that a republican
legislature, of which he was a mem
Der, is the responsible party. That
tax amounts to three mills, and if
Governor Hawley hadn't vetoed some
hundreds of thousands Of dollars
worth of other appropriations, for
which Mr.. Baldridge voted, the tax
would have been more. Mr.. Bald
