From the New York Evening Post.
TO THE SOCIETY OF FRIENDS
In THE UNITED STATES.

1N he UNIFIED - "A EIS.
1t is the object ofa State, or politica
society where liberty prevails, to make
the peoples will the ruling principle o
government. 1t is the purpose of sec
or religious society to secure or promote
obedience to the will of God. And it i;
the aim of classes Of people, connected
by similarity of circumstances, to aim al
the temporal aggrandisement of theil
own order.
In every country, the principles of the
state, the sect and the class-or the poll
tics, religion, and vocation of men, exert
an influence on one another, and deter
mine the general course of opinion. Al
all times some of these elements are in
conflict, and it is generally when two OF
these become paramount over the rest,
and contend for mastery, one over the
other, that revolutions result.
Perhaps the most prominent classes
which have been arrayedaganst each 9TH
er in modern or in any times, have been
those of capital and labor, of persons and
property.
IN all the civilized Governments of
Europe, and of old, no political power
was conceded to persons without proper
ty. And it was as remarked in my last
paper, the peculiar and pre- eminent glo-
ry 10 William Penn and his followers, to
be the first orall the world to recognise
the right of the person without property
to be citizen or voter. In all the 9TH
er colonial charters and state constitutions
up to the adoption Of our present Con-
stitution of the United States, property
qualification was required Tor electors and
officers. Since then many of the States
have abolished it, but several still retain
that feature.
1t was from the state and colony of Penn
sylvania that the trainers of the Federal
Constitution borrowed the precept and
practice of universal suffrage; and its
primitive establishment in Pennsylvania
was the effect not only of the peculiar
tenets, but the very genius Of the Qua
ker religion.
The evil of riches and the love Of mo-
ney, have long been topics of discourse
with moralists and ministers. But the
'IFriends" reduced theory to practice,
and cut off by their discipline the very
objects Of avarice. They expressly pro-
hiIblt superfuity of apparel, Of diet, Of
fu rniture, and of fhabitation; and by thus
re ndering superfuous wealth useless,
destroyed all motive for its accumulation.
But William Penn and his brother colo.
nists very naturally considered that if pro-
perry were made indispensable for polit.
ical privilege and honor, very strong
stimulaRt of avarice would still remain.
They therefore wisely aud religiously cut
the connection between avarice and am
bition. They divested mammon of the
dignity ofhis robes of Office, and left him
to remain among men, as we'll as among
the fallen angels, "the least erect Of all
the spirits that fell" How we'll have the
conclusions of philosophy and the history
