We trusted that in the progress of the adm‘ tion of our great National Gov- erpiment we wonld nl ately become Amelio- rated in our condition, and be somewhat assim- ilated to that of the rest of the American people Your memorinlists are unable to anticipate the realization of auy of these hopes from tke Passage of the bill now before the Sena. We Gesire to say, most candidly and respectfully, that we see in it little else than a violent dis- Tuption of the whole system of self-govern- ment under which we have lived for more than ty years, and a sndden and unwaroed @nnibilation of every vestige of the most lim- ited municipal powers and common immaun.- Ges which are now the portion of even the cites ot the late rebellions States. The intro- duction of such a system of extraneous gov- ernment would seem to indicate that it bad been ascrrtained, after a protracted probation, either that we are not equal to the ordinary @uties and responsibilities of citizenship, or that we had committed offences deserving of the severest chastisement in the unrestrained power of Congress to inflict. The District of Columbia contains about oue hundred and fifty thousand people. They re- side under the very eaves of the Capitol, midst those who are the collected wisdom of the nation, and with whom we daily recipro- cate acts of courtesy and regard. We have here the President and his cabinet, ministers from the most enlightened mations of tle world, hundreds of gentlemen associated in the admivistration of the government, eol- Jeges, seminaries of learning, high schools and «ommon schools, Rouses of worship of all secig and denorminations, all, in their respec- tive spheres, spensing general knowledze and indieatin attainment of the highest order of civ tion and refinement. “Yet, from ns, im full view of these unprecedented advantages, it is proposed to take away all those municipal rights which concern us only and affect matters of a purely local character. We feel sure that such a sudden termination of oar corporate existence, and the introduc- tion of @ system so untried and anomalous would create distrust among our pro Tty- holders and business men, as they wor have no voice whatever in the management of their municipal affairs. The great cardinal principle of Repodlican Government, that taxation and representation must be indivisible, is utterly disearded in this proposed system. and as the burden of taxation Would be the measure of assessment, and not the limited rate of the tax itself,no one can foretell to what extent his property will be- come depreciated by wild assessment made by those who are in ro way responsible to the parties assessed. Your Honorable Body will see somewhat the magnitude of this _lattrteatpiclees 4 2 egy oe feo that the present asseseed value of rec! an R in this District is more thas Aity mt fon dof jars. All that, and all increasing values, will be sul t to the discretionary as- sessment and tax! of some three unknown persons. To that amonnt of taxation will be added bundreds of tho: ds of dollars of in- direct taxes, whieh will go into the hands of the same Commissioners, and be and disbursed by them im such ways and for such purposes as may seem in their judgment to be proper. That vast sum of money is to be taken out of the pockets of the People, and be pee ae in certain favored localities, and for fanciful projects. in utter disregard of the rights and interests of other sections of the District, Under the exis’ and Which we regard as sound in as itis rightful in practice, the two cities the rural part ofthe District i and collect their impose Own taxes, and expend them forthe immediate benefit of those by whem a are paid.
