We notice in the proceedings of the
Legislature, that A. r. Forwood, present.
ed memorial from seventy six voters of
Fair Hill district Cecil County, praying
for repeal of the tax law of 1871, and
that it has since been reported upon, I'M
favourably. We were told of this peti-
ton, by gentleman who saw it, while
it was being carried about for signatures.
When he saw it, it had been signed by
upwards oftwenty, and about half of them
were not tax payers, and some he belev-
ed to be minors; and the man whose name
stood foremost, voted for the first appro-
priation, that the state made 10 internal
improvements. The whole proceeding is
disgraceful one, and so manifestly dis
honest is it in principle, that in the most
violent loco foco district in the county
where the anti-tax doctrine was preached
most loudly before the last election, it
could find but seventy six advocates, and
many OF these, if not the most of them, are
persons who pay no tax, and consequent
ly have no interest in the matter.
