And in j and cities, which prevails in Europe and the case of an ad valorem system of taxation beiiir j United States. There are certain well established adopted during this charter, the said stock shall rules of law, applicable to such corporations, be subjected to the same ratio of taxation as other which tend to illustrate the subject under con capital, not exceeding pne per cent., including the ! federation, and are proper to be mentioned in this aforesaid tax; and the said tax shall only be as- connection. sessed on such portion of the stock as shall have ' Though the Legislature has authority to "rant

been paid," &c. aii aci oi me general ssemniy, amending this charter, was approved February (J, 1841, and ad op ted by the Bank April 13, 1?41 fcection d ot this act provides "That hereafter the capital stock of the said Bank shall be taxable, in addition to the tax of twelve and one-half cents on each share for education, only for state purposes; which tax shall uc a icr uriiiuin, ni .Miiuuni eacu year equal 10 the amount of State tax, and to the amount of county tax in the county in which the respective branch may be situated, for the year," &c; "Provided, that the whole amount of the tax herein provided, with said education tax, shall not exceed one per cent, on the said capital stock." Relying on these provisions, to-wit: section 15 of the original charter and section 5 of the amendment above recited, the bank claims that her said property is exempted from the assessments in question, and therefore asks us to restrain the citv. In lb37 the General Assembly of Indiana ! passed an act entitled "An act granting the citizens of Madison a ' city charter," by which act the limits of the town of Madison were extended so as to embrace certain territory therein defined, and the inhabitants j of that territory were constituted a body politic and corporate, by the name, style, and title of the Uity ot .Yladisoii, etc., and afterwards, in the same year, the inhabitants of said territory ac- I rantsrl ll rhartiT. anil in uppnnianco uilli t-,. provisions thereof, organized a municipal govern ment, which, by means of the necessary officers, ordinances, and regulations, has been iu operation ever since. Section 35 of this charter provides that "For the purpose of revenue, the common council shall levy and collect a tax on all, real property within said city, not exceeding one-half per cent, on its valuation." Afterwards the General Assembly of the State passed an act to amend this charier, approved February 10, 1 84, which was duly accepted by the voters of the city, and took effect in the same year, aud before the assessment complained of. I he 1st section of this amendment provides "That, for the purpose of revenue, the common ; council of the city of Madison shall, from and after the taking effect of this act, levy an ai valorem tax on all real estate, including improvements, situate within the corporate limits vi the city; and also a like lax on all bank stock," Sec. Tile assessments in question were duly made, in compliance with these provisions of the ciiarter, and the city insists that she ought not to be restrained from collecting them By tho 1st section of 'he amendment above i recited, the General Assembly obviously intended j t confer upon tiie city a right to levy aud collect j the tax in question; and if the Bank does not claim too much the right thus granted to the city j is inconsistent with the exemption previously ; granted to the Bank. j The true intent and meaning of those clauses ' of her charter, by virtue of which the Bank j claims thisexemption, are not obvious at a glance ; and it is our duty, if we can. to give them an interpretation that will sustain the honor and consistency of the General Assembly. The PRiscirLE of equality. Equality in civil ; rights and civil obligations, lies at the foundation ! of all republican systems of government, and every act of the legislature in palpable violation of this fundamental principle, is unauthorized, and ought not to be enforced. "Every person is entitled to be protected from all unequal and undue assessments on the part of the government. It is not sufficient that no tax or imposition can 1 be imposed upon the citizens but by their representatives in the legislature The citizens are entitled to require that the Legislature itself shall caase all public taxation to be fair and equal, in proportion to the value of property, so that ', no one class of individuals apd no one species of property may be unequally or unduly assessed." ( 2d Kent's Com. p. 26?. Apply this fundamental truth to the exemption claimed by the bank, and it may well be. quetioned whether th General Assembly has power to grant a privilege of the sort that will be obligatory on its successors and the people of the State. How . can it be fair and equal that a species of property ; called ' bank stock 'should be entirely exempted . iroci iaxauaaror tajtabei oalv to a Iimiteu extent, while all otier kiacs oi iM-opertv are liabl to lt tti t any extent teqbfre by the exigencies of ; government. , .. - ...

The charter of Madison was duly accented by the major part of the inhabitants, and the tax in question was assess-d in conformity to the charter. The Bank occupies a building in the city, and being an inhabitant, therefore, accepted the charter and consented to the assessment. It is upon this principle the actcal consent of the major part of the inhabitants, and the Assau n consent of the whole, that real estate within the corporate limits of the city is liable to be taxed one-half per cent, more than other real estate iu th county. By the constitution of Indiana, the legislative authority of the State is vested in the General Assembly, and laws passed by that body, for the support and maintenance of the system of goveminent which has been organized under and by virtue of the constitution, are. binding at once nnnn a!l nnreMwnnl nrnr.uriti ixlihin S,.i.. without any subsequent acceptance or consent ol the people; but an act passed by that body for the ! . 1 . government of Madison as a city, cm hav no r. r- ... . . J ' bindiug force until it hud been accepted by the i'ih. tint. ints of the city. When examined iu this view, it septus plain that the exempting clauses of the Bank charter apply only to .-uch taxes as the General Assembly has authority to impose dihkcii.y for the service and support of that system of govrninn t whkh has b-en organized under the constitution, to-wit: the State, with its political divisions into counties, and have no reference wh ttever to j i iiiy wjio, which me veuerai ssem'iv Has Ho authority to impose dirkctly and cm only b required U(ou the principle of consent above ex piaitied.
