EQUAL TAXATION.

In government like ours, where all are
recognized as equals in our political af.
fairs, our laws should be so shaped as 10
impose the burthens, and extend the bless.
ings of government upon all alike. In the
imposition Of taxes, however, it has long
been the policy of Ohio to make wide dis.
crlmlnation in the assessment OF taxes, be-.
tween capital employed in the general pur.
suits OF the country, and that which has
been employed under special privileges in
a business rendered legal by enactment of
the legislature. Corporate property here.
tofore has in most instances been exempt
from taxation, whilst the farthest that the
Legislature has ever went, has been to rem
der it liable to State tax. The levies as.
sessed for county, township, town, and
school purposes. and in short every pur-
pose save those Of the State, have not af.
iected corporate property, whilst capital
invested in the honest pursuits of the coun.
try has been subjected to all the taxes i'm.
Possed for all the purposes contemplated
by our laws. In a country where the
many are "hewers of wood and drawers
of water" for the few, where human gov.
eminent is reared upon the doctrine that
government is only designed for the bene.
mt and comfort Of the pampered sons ofno-
blllty, and where the divine right of kings
to rule with an iron rod are conceded, an
exemption of the favored few from the bur.
thens ofgovernment is to be expected. In
a country where government is designed as
a shield OF the weak from the expressions
of the strong, no favoritism should be toler.
ated. Equality of privileges and equality
of burthens should ever be adhered to as
the only policy Of the government.
The new constitution provides for tax
ing property owned by associations and
banking institutions the same as the prop
erty owned by individuals is taxed. 1t
proposes to abolish the invidious and un.
ust distinction heretofore made between
heseby ourlegislatures. This great source
'finequality will be destroyed by the adop.
ion OF the new constitution, special privi-
eges will be restrained within proper
'ounds-and those who heretofore have
escaped the burthens ofgovernment will be
axed in proportion to their means equally
With those who struggle by the sweat Of
heir brow TO earn an honest livelihood-a

For the Spirit OF Democracy.

#.- For the Spirit OF Democracy.
Mr.. EDITOR:-ln the last number o
your paper, we have the views of the
Hon. Edward Archbold on the meaning
Of the Temperance clause, in the new
Constitution; and, the effect it would have,
if adopted, upon the manufacture and
traffic in ardent spirits. Independant Of
Mr.. AS acknowledged talent as consti-
tuition al lawyer, his position as member
of the Convention that adopted the clause
in question, entitle his views to the most
respectful consideration. Yet how true,
that great men sometimes commit great
errors. May this not be the case with Mr..
A. in the present instance.
The article referred to, reads as follows:
"No license to traffic in intoxicating liquors
shall hereafter be granted in this State; but
the General Assembly may, by law, pro-
vide against evils arising therefrom."
Translated out of mysticism" says Mr.
Archbold, "into plain English it means
that the manufacture and traffic in ardent
spirits shall never be licensed or permitted,
but shall be abolished and prohibited.
Now is not the above translation evidently
more mysterious than the original; for
where is the item in the original requiring
the manufacture and traffic in ardent spir,
its to be abolished and prohibitedW No
such sentiment is in it, nor even hnted at;
but, on the contrary, the article provides
that the General Assembly may by law
provide against the evils arising from the
traffic in intoxicating liquors; thus presup-
posing that the traffic would continue in
some shape. Would it not be quite an
absurdity for SO august body as the late
Convention, to take SO much pains to pro.
vide remedy for an evil, that was to have
no existance. 1t would be an act Of kind
ness to the Convention, il not one of char.
ity to Mr.. Archbold, to suppose that he
was mistaken in the assertion that a large
majority of the Convention put the same
construction on the meaning Of the clause
that he did.
Mr.. A. continues, "If the traffic in ar.
dent spirits cannot be licensed and regu-
lated by law, the evils arising therefrom
will become so horrible," &c. Very true
but why connect the two terms "licens-
cd" and regulated" Isthere any neces-
sary connection between them? l think
none at all. The Legislature could regu-
late the traffic just as much as they pleas
cd, precisely as it has the power to do un-
der the present Constitution, with this diff
ference only, the law would have to be
general; the traffic would not be clothed
with the dignity Of specific sanction in
the form Of license. Why could it be
thought necessary to license A and B to
