From the Herald of the Times.

From the Herald Of the Times.
The question has been asked by re-
spectacle paper, printed in the Northern
section of this State, "What part will the
Herald of the Times take in this ques-
tion!' (the adoption of Constitution
securing an equal representation, and an
extension of the right Of suiirage.) AL
though as an Editor, you are not obliged
to take any part in the question, or to
express your individual sentiments on the
subject, have no doubt you will admit
into your paper the views ofyopr patrons
ON either side of the question, and there
fore send for publication the following
recollections Of the sentiments Of the
"Great Apostle of Liberty" Thomas JEFF
ferson, on this interesting subject, pre-
missing, the laws of Virginia representing
the elective franchise, were then the
same as in this State at this time.
"Pefcctions Of the Electric Franchise"
One half Of our brethren arc excluded
like Helots, from the right OF suffrage,
and of representation, because they are
not owncrs of the soil,-as if society was
Instituted for that, and not for the men
inhabiting it, which enables one half OF
them to dispose OF the rights ofthc other
Rhode-Island constitutionalist. [volume] (Providence [R.I.]) 1834-1834, 1834-03-12

half, and impose on them duties without
their consent.
"What constitutes State1
Not high raised battlements, or abor'd mound,
Thick walls or moated gate
Nor cities proud, with spires and turreis crown'd;
No, men, high-mnded men;
Men who their duties know:--
But know their rghts-and know ing dare maintain;
These constitute State.
"The abuses of the elective franchise,
under which more than one half Of our
lellow-men are now suffering, andwhich
we inherit from our ancestors, are the
relics of the feudal system, which are as
unnecessary as they are Unjust. Can
one generation bind another, and all 9th.
crs in succession, forever? | think not.
The Creator has made tie earth for the
living, not foy the dead. The earth was
made for man, ,~4man for society--and
laws for the government OF society,"
Rights and Powers can only belong to
persons not 10 things; not TO mere mat
ter. unendowed with will, The dead are
not even things.-To what then are at
tached the rights and powers they held
while living, 10 bind tie generations that
have succeeded them. A generation
may bind itself as long rs a majority
continues in life; when that has disap-
peared, another majority Is i'll place
holds all the rights and powers their pro
decessors once held-and may change
their laws and institutions TO suit them
selves. It is not only the right. but the
duty OF those now on Ilr stage Of action,
10 change the laws and institutions OF
government; TO keep pace with the
progress of knowledge--the light of SCI
encc, and the ameiioration Of the condi-
ton of society. Nothing is to be consid-
cred Interchangeable, but tho inherent and
unalenable rights ofmen,"
The foregoing being copied from i'm
perfect notes, though it conveys correct
ly the sentiments, may not be III the cx-
act language Of the ilustrious
I'uos. JEFFERSON.

A fe'r plain questions pat to the friends
of 0ur Election Lar.

Why should one man destitute Of pro-
perty rota-away the property ofsnother,
without his consent, only because he
happens to be year o. Two older than
that other?
Why, in land of equal rights, should
one man be allowed to vote without any
property qualification at all, and another
be required to purchase freehold estate
before he can vote -
Why, in such land, should young
man be allowed TO vote, without possess
ing any property at all, and man ad-
vanced in years1nd experience not al
lowed to vote, although he possesses
large personal estate and pays heavy
tax?
Why should the mere accidental cir
cumstance of birth be in itself sufii-
cient qualification for voting in State
which processes to have Republican
form of government?
And why should birth alone be sui-
ficient qualification for voting in State
which processes that there is no safety
in admitting any less qualification than
real estate
And why should life estate hc con-
sidered an interest in land sufficiently
permanent to cntitle a man to vote, and
an estate in land for ninety years, or
three lives, be considered an interest IN
land Of no more permanency than an In
| torcst i'm person3l property!
Washington says, "the basis orour po-
litical system, is the right of the people
10 make and to alter their Constitutions
of government"
lie also says, that "while we are con-
tending for our own rights we should not
violate the rights Of others"
Gov. Winthrop says in his journal that
on the 9Th day Of November 1888, the
General Court of Massachusetts passed
law that no man shall give his swine any
Corn. but such as being viewed by two
or three of his neighbours shall be ad-
Judged by them unfit for mans meat"
Peregrine White, is the name Of the
first person born of European parents IN
New-England. He was born in Cape
Cod Harbour November Goth, 1920, and
died July Goth, l704, aged "a years
Mary Godfrey, is the name Of the first
person born of European parents m
Rhode-Island. She was born at New
port, in l63o, and died in l1l6, aged a
years.

the belief that these officers were combined with
the spectators, and interested in their pur-
chaSeS2
Answer-l certainly was so impressed with
the belief at that time, and still believe so; they
were combined and interested in the purchases
made by the spectators.
Questionable it not appear to you to be the
general impression of those who attended the
sales to purchase lands, that the officers were
concerned with the spectators?
AnsDer-Such appeared to be the general inn
preston of the settlers who attended the sales
Qaestion-Did the Register, Samuel Gwinn,
demand of each person who received the trans
Grip from the spectators, one dollar for such
transfer2
Answer-I saw several persons pay one dol
lar for such transfer, and believe it was gene
raj practice, and heard several persons COM
plain of the charge.
Questionable the spectators require the &C
tual settlers to sign paper pledging themselves
not to purchase more than one quarter section
before they granted permission to them to pur-
chase at the Government price?
Ansacer-I believe they did, for such was the
observations of Robert j. Walker, in his public
