the United States in the case of The Providence
Bank vs.. Billings, Peters, that the capital stock
of Bank is fit subject for taxation the 18th
section of the plaintiff charter so far as it eXempts
her capital stock from taxation for city purposes,
relieves that property from its equal share of the
public burthens, and to that extent violates the lst
section of the 10th article of the constitution, and
in my opinion is for that reason void. The in
junction prayed for must the, efore be denied, and
the COM aint dismissed at the plaintiff costs. As
this view of the case dsposes of the suit in this
court, it is unnecessary to consider whether the
18th section does not also violate article of the
constitution, section 10, and article l, section %.

For the Democrat


There are times in the history of nations
when certain great principles present them
selves, and in their application and adop-
ton every thing else is, for the time, com
paratively forgotten or neglected; or, in
other words, the consideration of other kin
bred matters is suspended, and all atten-
ton, argument and consultation is directed
to the one subject. The Oldest and strong
est party ties are forgotten or disregarded,
and mems minds dwell alone upon the one
great TRUTH, until its praclicability and
full consequences shall have been evolved,
and then it takes its place among the e.er-
nally established and adopted principles Of
human life.

John. when his Barons wrung from him

PROSPECTUS
THE
WEEKLY DAY BOOK, for 1853

The New York Day Book, daily and weekly
IS an independent Democratic Journal devoted to
the support of Democratic ideas and the defense
OF Democratic institutions. 1t holds that all those
who are naturally equal, entitled to the same
rights and responsible for the same duties and it
will, therefore, advocate the perfect legal and po-
ltcal equality of all citizens, without regard to
birth, religion or any Of those Fictitious and acct
dental things which, in other countries, and some
times in our own, are permitted to interfere with
mems natural rights. 1t holds, moreover that
that government is best which governs the least
that National Banks, Protective Tariffs, Internal
Improvements, and all forms and degrees of spe-
clal legislation anti Republican, corrupting and
dangerous to the spirit of Democracy and the per-
manency of free institutions. 1t holds, further
more, that American society, as now constituted
Is right in theory in fact-at the South as ut the
Nortll--in its domestic regulations as in its polit-
cal institutions, and will therefore defend the ex-
listing condtion-the subordination of negroes as
well as the equality of white citizens. These
principles and this position it will continue
to advocate i'll the future in the past and though
the publication department has changed hands, its
editors and contributors remain the as ever.
The success the Day Book has achieved by
boldly and fearessly uttering the whole truth upon
the slavery question has been unparalleled in
the history of newspaper literature-not less than
thirty thousand subscribers having been received in
single year. We confidently expect even great
er success in the future and while we shall give
due attention to politics we also present our read
with an interesting family and business journal,
filled with complete digest of news, foreign and
domestic, commercial and monetary articles, full
and accurate reports of the cattle, grain, cotton,
produce and other markets, accompanied with the
newest and latest agricultural information, prepared
specially for our columns. Indeed, we give the
reader greater variety of information than is to
be obtained in any other weekly journal published
i'll New York Our reports of markets alone are
worth double the subscription price.
