Free Sitflrnse
To understand fully the merits or de-"
merits of Free Suffrage, the propriety .
or impropriety of amending cur Con-
stitution, it is necessary, that we should
to its primitive adoption and its
subicrraeat amendment. In 177G, the
people of the Lnited fctatcs, by their
, , A . , niii
delegates in Congress assembled, aeclar-
c ;

taia protectioa deaiaaded and no far
ther. And here we must predicate, that it
is a well established principle, that on
ly sectional or local interests need inde
pendent protectioa. Aad to prove this,
Political Economy fully sustains the
tact, that no commuaity can op
press any one of its professions or trades,
because such oppression must necessari
ly be detrimental to all. As for in
stance, there is no one who should oppose
s strenuously excessive taxation or;
land as the indigent, because four-fifths
of them are employed on farms; and as
taxation or any other extraneous ex-,
pense diminishes the profits of the land-
. - 1 1 . a m. "

iioiuers, in xnc sums rauo must, tueir
waes decrease; for as the prot3 of any
investment, so will be the wages of those
employed in it. So with all other oc
cupations. This being true, the section-.
al interests and tJtcse only demanded
adjustment in the Convention of '35.
The East had many advantages
over the West, her position and many
rivers gave her transporting powers,
which th West did not possess. These,
of course, had made her lands more de-
Uirable, they had become more densely
populated, and consequently wealthier,
au,j morc liable to and productive of
taxation. The West laboring under
disadvantages, only to be surmounted

au(j ke;ng loo poor to jia up these of
herself, wished to involve the
State,
and of course apply to her advanceme nt
the revenue raised principally from the
East.
To protect these respective Interests,
thepresent basis tras adopted,wbich gives
to the East the Senate, and to the West
the Commons, thereby satisfying, thro'
a compromise, that rrincipde of right,
which requires independent protection

save sectional interests need protection.
(land cannot be a sectional interest
why should it not be abolished? Is
land so productive of revenue as to entitle
its owners to peculiar honor? The facts
prove not; for it only produces about
one-fourth of our revenue. And those,
who cry so loudly about the oppression
of land, and refer so often to the fact,
that since '35 we have been more ex
travagant, seem to forget that the land
tax has not been increased one per cent,
while our revenue has been nearly doub
led by taxing other kinds cf property.
Being, therefore, a provision, enlivened
by no principle entitled to no honor,
unjssily depriving citizens of their in
disputable rights, let it be swept ircm

If I ever have the op-

In your editorial remarks on this sub
ject, cf the 22nd ult., if I comprehend
your meaning, I am glad to find that
you admit the necessity for the repre
sentation of property, and claim "free
suffrage" only fer its negative merits,
of harmlessness. Now you ought to
know, every body ought to know, that
property cannot be represented, unless
a majority of those who elect one branch
of bur General Assembly, are property
holders; and if you can urge nothing
better in favor of thc extension, of the
right of suffrage, than that of its harm
