Excerpt from Address of the Whig Members of the Senate and House of Representatives of Massachusetts, to Their Constituents: Occasioned by the Inaugural Address of His Excellency Marcus Morton There is nothing then for which the people of this State are called upon to tax themselves, but those County and Municipal charges, which as they vary in each Town and County must necessarily be left to the inhabitants of each to assess upon them selves. That our system of assessment might be improved we are not disposed to deny, but as no complaint has been made, nor any alteration of the laws called for by petition or otherwise, We had not supposed that this could be considered a matter which pressed itself very strongly on the attention of the Legislature at this moment.
