LEGISL.7TORS,

THE revision Of the Election Laqv Of
this State haying been frequently the theme
of conversation in the circles In which am
conversant, and hoping it will be made part
of the business of the ensuing session, at
least SO far as to appoint a committee to en-
quire into the expediency of altering and re-
vising it as far as it relates TO the qua6ca-
,ion Of voters, l take the liberty of offering
few remarks on the subject. l blush when
| reflec, that enjoy privilege which is not
common to all my fellow -oitzens--a privilege
To which all are entitled by nature and by
right, and from which one part OF the citi., ms
cannot be deprived, but by the usurpation of
the other part or which is the same thing
in effect, the continuance Of that which was
in the first place an usurpation. And am
astonlshed at its continuance when there can
not be found single man in the State who
will advocate it upon anv other ground than
tha, of erhedience, without the least ray of
Justice. And in this State, where civil and
religious liberty is so pre-eminently establish
ed, it is astonishing, that the first principle
upon which these inestimable privileges are
founded, should be so far departed from, as
to deprive nearly one half of the citizens of
that right, which is the boast of frcemen and
tue Only foundation OH WnlCN TepuOuCk can
rest secure--that Is, The equality Of the right
Qf suffrage.
Permit mc to call your attention to that
part OF the election law which requires the
possession of an estate of certain value as
qualification for a voter, and admits the eld-
est son of such voter TO all the privileges
of the father, as soon as he becomes of age.
and excludes ak the rest Is it not ar:sto-
cra,cal, ridiculous.and unjust Does 1t not
permit, hundreds of foreigners who have
come among us with money sufficient to
qualify themselves to all the privileges OF
treemcn (many of whom, within my own
knowledge, bore arms against these very lio-
crties.) Doesi it not exclude many who fought
AID blcd to acquire the liberties which this
law denies them !--Yes, know one who
was at the battle of Lcxington--onc who was
at the battle Of Bunker's Hill--four or FIVE
who were at the investment of Bostoa-onc
who detected the letters of Col. Church, and
riskcd his life, and lost his property, by car
