Mr.. Langley said the constitution makers
were Democ, ats, the legislature that enacted
the tax law was Democratic. The Cour,
has decided that The law of the last session
is Unconstitutional. Now. he though, the
constitution makers neuer intended the re-
sui as il now stands, and the people Of the
country never ratified i. with any idea OF
this result. He said The people were sdissat.
isfed, the wholesale merchants all complain,
and all The retail men and dealers all over
the country complain Of this result. Now,
he thought this matter should be examined
by committee, and il is demanded by the
people.
Judge Burchard said, he was one of the
counsel in the argumen, of this case before
The Court. But lille time was spent on The
pcin. that is now creating the difficulty. He
differed in opinion with the CourI in its con-
snuclon Of The constitution, and said tha,
the true Interpretation Of the constitution is
that credits means the balance that is due
after deducting what may be owing. 1t is
the balance only that is property, and that
only should be taxed. He said that if this
question came up he should claim that The
decision was made without argument, and
by divided Court, and he claimed ,ha,
within two years the Court would reverse is
decision on this point He said The consti.
tuition makers, and The grea. mass Of people
understood that they were 10 tax bank bills
as money, and they would so decide again
if the question came before them, but they
did moi decide that they should not have the
privilege of deduc,ing their debts from thei'
credits. He thought the decision of The
court wrong and was opposed TO The amend.
ment of the constitution.
Without coming to any result the House
adjourned.

Battle OF Citate.

The following extract from letter 10 the
Augsburgh Gazette, gives an account Of the
recent battle Of Ci.ate. written in former
reports Cilale]. The leuer is dated at Kra.
jova, Lesser Wallachia, January 8Ih, and
says: 11f
During several days before the 9Th, skir-
mishes had taken place on the plain, TO the
north OF Ci,ate. They were principally
combals between the Turkish cavalry and The
Cossacks, and executed in a style Of which
The people in Europe can hardly form an
adequate idea. The lrequen. recurrence Of
these skirmishes caused more troops 10 be
brought up on either side, so that on the 9th,
in the morning, the Russians had $500 foot
1900 horse and few 'Solnias' oil Cossacks,
making altogether more than 5000 men.
The Turks on the field Of battle might
number about 5000 men. At noon, after a
cannonage, which lasted about quarter ol
an hour, The Turkish cavalry commenced
The action, and by / o'clock the whole left
wing Of the Turks was engaged with the
right wing Of their adversaries. About 2
o'clock Turkish battalion took TO The bay
one, and pu. five Russian companies TO fight.
three Of which were almost unnihilased. A,
this moment the Turks took FIVE or(accord.
ing to some) six guns. The Russians were
repulsed, and toward o'clock i,seemed as
iif the battle was al an end. The loss was
already very great on both sides as the fire
OF the artillery had never ceased from the
commencemen Of the engagement. Soon
after o'clock, however, 5000 fresh Rus
sian troops, which had come in forced mar
cles from Radovace, appeared and the con-
Aict was renewed. Alier tremendous exer
lions, the Russians, succeeded in recaptur
ing their guns and driving back the Turks
TWO English miles and half in the direc
lion Of Cilate. AT this poinllhe Turks wert
reinforced. and having made another stand
the battle continued until evening set in
Both armies retained The positions they hat
occupied before the battle began. Yesterday

side must be equal TO that sustained at Often

Democratic Thund or.

The editor Of the Dayton Empire Loco.
foco,) after giving a synopsis Of the late de.
cision Of The Supreme Court Of Ohio on the
Tax Law, holds The following language:
The banks sought TO be placed on an equal
footing with merchants and manufacturers,
but The Court reversed the thing and placed
merchants and manufacturers on a footing
with bankers. The clause Of The Tax Law,
allowing merchants and others to deduct
their debts is declared unconstitutional. The
effec: Of this decision will be 10 greatly in.
crease the basis for taxation.
Our iaxes at present are enormously high,
and we apprehend The people will not relish
with very good grace, The idea of having
their burthens increased. In State less
fertile and productive than our own and with
q population less enIerprising and persever-
ing, The heavy weight Of taxation would have
paralyzed all the industrial interests of the
State. Heretofore, however, the laws have
only exacted taxes on what man owned,
bu, now new system is TO be inaugurated
and The effect Of the decision given above is
TO compel not only our bankers, but merch.
ants, manufacturers, and Others 10 pay tax
upon VIA, they owe. Ifthe decision Of the
Supreme CourI is correct, then is tho Con.
slilulion wrong, and i, should be amended
forthwith.
There has already been very great deal
Of tinkering with this matter of taxation; bu,
experience shows that the more il is meddled
with, The worse it gets. The practical work.
ing Of The present tax law cannot have failed
TO convince oil who have given it their at.
,enlon, that The Thing itself is radically de-
feclive in many points, and exceedingly op-
pressiye and unjust in many Of lis provisions
some Of which we shall alude 10 more par
ticular'y hereafter.
Al present, VIC deem II only necessary 10
remark, that if The present legislaIure--as
has been intimaled- contemplate further
increase Of taxes they greatly mistake the
public sentiment Of the State. The people
have already been driven very nearly to thai
point where "lorbearance ceases TO be vir-
iue," and il is not reasonable 10 suppose that
they will quickly consent 10 further in'
crease OF their burdens. The wonder is .ha
they have not before this pu, themselves in
the attitude Of resistance:
When they do become fully aroused upor
this subject, j, will no. be worry difficult &c
perceive the nature Of the remedy they viii
apply. |. will, perhaps. be somewhat quie
in operation, but i. will be most thoroughly
effective in its results, because j. will strike
directly at the root Of the eyil-a false ant
mistaken system Of Legislation.

Journal. Comment is unnecessary:

miuee TO consider preparations TO amend The

Hamilton, rose in opposition 10 It's passage.
lie said the resolution was the result OF O
panic, arising from the late decisions oil the
Supreme Court on the AK law. He thought
we ought not to back out from this inslru-
ment al this early day. He sustained that
instrument and thought all its new measures
were Improvements. He hoped tie resolu.
lion would be voted down.

marks tOould be more applicable 10 bill if

was no new one. Tho Banks had made a
great fuss, and now thd. others are affected
they TOO had SET up howl. The moneyed

He thought that the decision Of the cour
brought 10 the tax law much fictitious capi

Mr.. Mckenzie said he differed with tn
gentleman from Licking. He was no
in favor Of taking any step that would feet
The clamor now abroad. Heupheld the de
