The Stasesalaa Is evidently alarmed st the
restveness oi the popular mind under the g.
nan eia rule Of the Slave Democracy. The
taxes are heavy beyond precedent and to add
to the burden the small note law Of last winter
is soon to so into operation. By this Law. the
people may not use foreign bank notes Of less
denomination than ten dollars in the payment Of
their taxes they are forbid even their honest
debts with them. or lquidating any demand
that may come against them. But they may
sell them to the Brokersl and tLen pas the Bro.
ksr premium for specie with witch to pay
their taxess
We are as little inclined as anybody to grant
special privileges or to uphold mOnopOles nay
more. we win attack them whenever we can do
so without making war at the same time on the
interests Of lhe great body Of the people. In
the blind opposition Of the Slave Democracy to
corporations, they fail to make distinction be-
tween things as they are, and things as they
would have them they do not distinguish the
difference between laws and abstrad theories,
and war incOntinently against vested rights and
constitutional law forgetting that the tenure by
which man holds his fee in his farm and lis
stock in a corporation, is one and the same
II the principle be wrong change il. But un.
) til the law of inyesture is changed, an attack
upon corporate rights is an attack on the rights
of fproperty, affecting alike all classes of people
The Statesman remarks that the law restrain
ing the use OF small notes works well in Penn
sylvania, Maryland and Virginia. The latter
i State has just entered anew on the experiment;
4 il is too soon to speak Of its operation. But Of
Pennsylvania our information is to this effect
: that in Philadelphia and other large marke
/. towns the notes of foreign Banks of all demon
: nations pass constantly in trade from the very
o necessiisbOf the case. II you te nder a cit!
= note in>fhladelphia, you get change in th'
: like currency but il you tender foreign not
: il is not refused, and change is given in fOreig
+. notes or in relief notes of small denominations
IS The same thing occurs at the railway station
~ in Maryland beyond this our informant ha
4 not the rneans Of testing the law in th at State
4. And we win venture the prediction that th
d. Same thing will occur in this State when th
law shall 90 into effect. 1t is the law Of trade
% and this law will override every other .la'
10 10 which quack 6uanCiers may attempt to impos
!. on the free intercourse Of the people and th
IN free interchange Of commodities in our inlan
re trade.
Of One thing isvery singular in this war on tn
no Banks. While the Slave Democracy deien
nc the Aristocracy Of the South who live on th
m labor Of their fellow men, they make war 0
ny the harmless Aristocracy of wealth at the sam
" time they are the most pertinacious borrow
Of ers that infest The bank parors How sha

ill assign it place under the blackmail practic
