Universal Suffrage I'm virginia.

The Governor Of Virginia in his message
to the Legislature, urges the necessity Ofre-
form in suffrage qualifications and the adOp-
Ition of more liberal principles upon this
subject. The truth Of the remark contain
&c in orr Declaration Of Independence,
;"ihat mankind are more disposed to suffer
while evils are sufferable than to right them.
selves by abolishing the forms to which they
are accustomed" was never more forcibly
illustrated than in the long continuance Of
this abominable doctrine of restricted suf-
!frase in Virginia. There can be no doubt
that a large maj 'rity of the people of that
State have always been opposed to it, as
nti-republican and oppressive, but being
Iconsecrated by time and rendered easy and
familiar by long endurance, it still lives
amidst the apathy Of the people, and stands
before the progressive freedom Of mankind,
Ia detes:able relic of ancient wrong. Let
all barriers to universal suffrage be broken
down, the distinctions of wealth and aflu-
encs done away with, and government be
established on intelligence and the discre-
Ition of the governed. When this is the case,
every citizen is contented and happy in the
.lenioyment of what he feels and knows to
be his rights. The government is then es-
Itablished upon, and conducted BY, the will
and ssconssnt Of the governed" and not &C.
cording to the whims and caprices of a few.
The following is an extract from the mes
sage:
"Justice~ requires it, and the spirit of the
age demands it at the hands of the common.
wealth. Every free white man, a citizen
of the State over twenty-one years of age,
should be allowed to vote in the county
where he resides, but no where else. The
right to vote in as many counties as can be
reached by a man holding real or pretend
ed title to land therein, is an insult to rea-
son and outrage upon popular rights; it is
calculated to give to the cities and towns a
control over the interests Of the surround
ing country, which can result in nothing
but injury and discomfort. This is one Of
the crying evils-a nuisance rendered sa-
cred by constitutional enactment, which
the public mind revolts at, and will have
remedied."

this distinguished Individual to a seat with.

Washington. Many members opposed con-
Iferring this honor upon him, for the reason
that on some former occasion he had spok-
en- very harshly Of the Southern people, and
declared them but little better than pirates
and murderers. These sentiments were ex.
pressed BY him in speaking Of the institu.

Itseems from the discussion, that the Rev.
gentleman has perhaps changed his views
upon the subject of late, or at least refuses
to express sny opinion upon the political in.
