The new Constitution, then, is emphati
cally a liberal, progressive document. It
rescues the rule of popular concerns from
irresponsible and selfish influences. ; It strikes
a deathblow at the bloated arrogance1 of
wealth, and places the means of prosperity;
in tne nanas oi moor, it puts the hand pf
taxation into the pockets of all men and per-
sons alike., No man can huddle his hun
dreds of thousands into the coffers of a cor-fl
poration, and go on augmenting his fortune;
without paying equally with the poor man t
for the support of the government under ,
wnose protection he enjoys his property .and ,
grows rich. It sets bounds to existing cor
porations, and imposes barriers to the crei
tion of all other new ones than those which
the people may from time to time decree. .
AVhere the old Constitution is vague, this is
explicit ana piain ; wnere the old was wantt;
ing this is complete; where the old was ca-,!4
pable of perversion to the detrimemt of pop-;
ular welfare, this bristles with popular pro-i
tection. This is emphatically tho " PKortB'e '
Constitction." s If they desire to be. govA
