this part of the subject, and proceed :

great objects in establishing gov

ty, and jjnine-lcriths of; all ;the taxes
.that 'uji,g6yenimehti are raised
directly of indirectly fi-pm pmperty.
It isi thennothirig momthan justic
and gpodpolicy that property should
' have something like a reiativa repre-
semanon mine councils 01 ine oiaie.
Is this the case under ourConstitu
tion I Is the weight of property gra
duated and repi-esehted.as it ought to
be 1 ijGertaltily not. i One species of
Iiroperiy oniy is..represenieu, viz.
aid ; and the land-holders have just
double the weight in the Legisla
ture, that population "and every Spe
cies of property put together, have.
And to make the system still worse,
r even land, is very, unequally and un-
lainy Tepresenteii : . xsi, as xa vaiue.
The lands of Gates', Columbus, Le
noir, Ashej Haywood, Perquimonsi
Pasquotank and Ty irrel, containing
T;300,0do acres of land, W 1815
were: valued at SI, 74 1 ,8 1 0. But the
lands ; of Rowan alone were valued
Latr Si, 870,142, and Halifax at
82,802,51 3 : And yet each of these
p'oor counties have as ; much weight
in the, Seuatc as Rowan or Halifax.
2dly, as to extent. Rowan has a
greater extent of territory than some
fpur or five of the little counties just
named but she has no ' more influ
ence in the Senatej than either of
them. ' Can there be any thing more
unjust, than that the holder f fifty
acres of the barren sand banks of
Currituck, or the rocks of Haywood
not , worm one cent per acre, snouiu
be; entitled ! to vote for a Senator,
while .the same privilege is denied
to him that owns forty-nine acres
of the rich 'btittom of the Roanoke
worth 850 ! per acre ! How, sirj
could this strange and unequitable
provision havegot into the Consti
tution ?VLike all the rest a me're
copy fioni: the colonial government.
Under that government, fifty acres
1 of, land .was a qualification to vote'
for a Member of the House of Bur-
cesses, ay the act 01 1704,. wnicii
of land entitled "a person to vote-!
for Vestrymen ; and by an . act of j
1723, only. freeholders of fifty acres
pf land were permitted to keep a
horse of a certain description. n
fact, this freehold of fifty acres,
seems to have been the general quali
fier for all officers among the pro
vincial law-givers ; and perhaps for
this reason it was carried into the
Constitution. Thus land weighs
dpwn population, and all other kinds
U0f: property v put together, while
Slaves, our next valuable species Mi:
Property, is neither feltjn theegis-J
latui-e as property, nor as popula-
u?n' ' v
jSir, said Mr; F. have I succeeded
inj shewing that" there are defects in
our Constitution, that ought to be
amended ? If so, why not do it now?
Can there ever4 he a season more fa
vorable for such a wofk thafi the pre
sent ? We are at peace with bur
selves, and the . world no violent
factions now harrass and vex the
passions of the people ;-the public
mind is at rest, save on this one kub-
ject -feelings of harmony and li
berality reign throughout the land.
It lis a time, jjndeed; thaf invites to
a reyiewof our political institutions.
It Would seem as if the e-enius of our
I Republic had lulled . to repose the
hydra of faction on purpose to gi ve
ncr lavurue ppopie anopporxunity
to 'perfect thdr-system of govern
ment; and, accordingly, we see our
sister States availing themselves of
the happy iseasoh. Massachusetts,
that framed her government under
r more favorable cirenmstances than
we did,: has;; nevei-theless "revised
her; Constitution. Maine,' her eld
iesi daughter', has erected a new "one.
