PERPETUATION WITH A VEN
GEANCE!

The following article from the New
York Commercial Advertiser, exhibits
in its true colors the reckless corruption
Of the Albany Regency, alias VAN BU.
rem TORIES.
Usurpaiion at Home 1t seems US il
no proceeding was too outrageous for the
sanction of our Legislature. Finding
that Andrew Jackson can violate the
Constitution, with impunity, they hasten
ed TO follow the example. A bill passed
the Assembly on Wednesday, to alter
the charter of the city Of Albany, by
postponing the next Election Of Charter
Officers until the first Tuesday of May,
l835,-and providing that the present
ncumbents may hold over until that time.
This is done because they dared not
trust the people, at the legal period of
the Election, with the right of suffrage.
At the same time that it furnishes palpa
bic proof Of conscious weakness, it is a
most outrageous violation of the peoples
rights. IL the Legislature may, for
political purpose, postpone the Election
for one year, why may they not for FIVE
or ten? True-ths act may not be a
violation or the letter OF the Constitution,
but no one can hesitate to say that it is II
hagrant departure from its spirit. When
that instrument recognized the right of
Suffrage, it recognized by implication all
those accompaniments that were rcqui-
site to give it force and value. To this
end was the recurrence of Elections at
regular and equal periods, SO that the
exercise Of the rights Of franchise should
be fairly and impartally distributed
But by this act Of usurpation the present
inc umbents Of the charter officers Of AL
bany hold Tor two years-whereas their
pre- dccessors and successors hold only
or one. All those voters too, who ar
rive at the age Of twenty-one years, the
present season, or become otherwise
qualified, are deprived for twelve months
,f the sovereign prerogative of frecmen!
Perhaps the next vault Of our redoubta-
Bile Legislature may be to enact that no
man, in the city of Albany, shall vote
until he arrives at the age Of tucnty i,uo.

Hon. j. DWoE& others Of The Commiifee,
Whatever reluctance I
may have expressed, in regard TO be-
ing a candidate for public office, | hold
it to be he undoubted right of frcemcn
to vote for whom they please, at all Elec-
tions of public servants. And at a time
when the Constitution of our country is
disregarded, when laws in n measure
have lost their force, and the most salu-
tary powers Of the Government are a.
bused, il is the duty of every man to as
sumo that post to which the voice Of his
fellow citizens may call him, and to per.
form that Office to which he shall be
elected, according to the best of his a
bIlitIes and understanding.

HOW MANY MILLIONS Of the
Peoples Money have been already lost
by these failures, and where is this de-
struction Of the public wealth to find an
end! Perhaps Dutcc J. Pearcc, the
particular friend OF Gov. Francis. has
informed his Excellency, and his Ex-
cellency may inform the people of Rhode
Island some time next week.
