PHILADELPHIA, Feb. "a, lS43.

DEAR SR:-
The trial OF the Broad Axers at westcheser, is ex-
citing quite sensation in Philadelphia and its vi
cinity. These people are the mongrel children Of
St. Simonism and Owenism, and believe in a COM
munity of goods and chattels including wives and
children. 1t is for the violation of the seventh
article OF the Decalogue that the civil authorities
have arraigned number of them The details are
too gross for communication, and would not be &C.
ceptable to the highly intelligent portion Of the
community who take and read the Herald, which
comprises large majority, both in New York and
in this city. The Herald is more read, and greater
anxiety evinced for its appearance in Philadelphia
than any other paper, either here from sister
city.
The Rhode Island Suffrage party have been max
ing pretty strong efforts here to get up feeling in
their favor, but have, so far, not succeeded A
meeting was held on Wednesday evening, at the
Commissioners Hall, N. L., at which Mayor Can
non "a very warke name) presided, and Mr..
.Parmentier made speech. The meeting was
small and unenthusastic, owing perhaps to the bad
weather, and the evident discount in the article
called patriotism.
The friends OF young Mercer have engaged Peter
A. Brown, Esq. in addition to the phalanx of le-
gal talent already secured. Mr. Brown was at one
time the leading criminal lawyer Of Philadelphia,
uut the UdI, ucCduIC uuu last
distinguished himself at the trial of Wood the
fectoner, in successful defence-God grant that
the exerons of Mr.. Brown and his colleagues may
be equally successful for the innoceRt and manly
Mercer.
Miss Cushman played Nancy Sykes at the Wal
nut street last night, to crowded auditory. Her
personaton of this part one Of the most complete
triumphs of genius have ever witnessed-it was
the Nancy Sykes of Boz in every word, look and
gesture-lhe walk, the tone of voice, the whole
conception is perfect. Charlotte Cushman sustains
this part better than any part is sustained by any
seen. This is no false praise. Miss Fisher played
Oliver with great spirit and effect. Her concep-
ton OF the part the most perfect have

In the SENATE, Oday, the greater part OF the SIT

York and Erie Railroad. The result of this bill is
doubtful. There is strong opposition existing

In the ASSEMBLY, a greater amount Of real bust

larger number perfected in Committee of the
Whole. They were mostly private bills Of but lit,

be-a few more days spent In similar manner,
would render the prospects for short session far less
dubious than unfortunately they are at present.
The weather here still continues most inclement.
No signs of spring or any thing like it as yet.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NKw York HERALD -
notice in your journal of this morning, and ap-
prove your comments on the " city finances" and
the y imperfection oil the present system OF taxa
ton" You say that this system, SO far as it con-
Germs personal property, Is very imperfect" | am
aware that 1t is so, and that sixtyone millions is
by no means all the personal property in this city
Justly liable TO taxation. Much of it escapes; for
know that of these sixty-one millions a very great
proportion is the taxed capital of corporations, leav
ing very Insignificant amount for the floating capt.
tai, mortgages and movable property Of indi-
viduals.
But that matter leave to those who have an
especial interest in while call your attention to
the unjust and onerons burden which is now thrown
upon mortgaged real estate.
This species Of property is very burdensome to its
holders, many OF whom have thus encountered
themselves to pay their just debts and sustain their
commercial faith, during that season Of great ex-
po.ure and loss to those engaged in trade.
II is twice taxed; viz. to the holder as real es-
tate and TO the mortgage aspersonal. The remedy
is as simple as il is just II requires only single
amendatory clause TO the existing law. Thus-let
levied the real estate to its full value; then let
certificate of payment Of the said tax entitle the
holder 10 receive from the mortgage his proportion
Of it, either in money or in payment OF much in

taxed only for its Of value over the mortgage;
and let the holder OF the mortgage pay on the pro
Pery in so far he is the real owner In my opinion,
this will very little reduce the revenue, while il
will act with twofold justice; first in relief to the
unfortunate landowner, and then in placing the
load on the right shoulders, viz, those of the secret
owner, who, by not declaring his property, now es-
capes taxation.
Mr. Editor--many. sided and universal as you are,
lear you will not heed this appeal unless you feel
its operation, through your own interest.
But hope you will notice it, and especially urge
1t upon the attention Of Counsellor Graham, it, as
