The settlement of all questions connected wiA this franchise in any particular State, has, how ever. usually been regarded us belonging exclusively to thc People of that Staie;and under ordinary circnm- stances, auy interference by a citizen of another State, would jusdv be considered as improper. I bus vie w- in» thc matter, I certainly should not have ventured an opinion upon any point bearing on die question now under discussion ill hhode Island, had it not been for Ae request contained in your letter, which the re lations l hold to die People of Ae United Stales, make it my duty to respect. Bv the first constitution of New York, die posses sion of a freehold estate of die value of $250 over and and above all debts charged Aercon, was necessary to entitle n person to vote for Governor, Lieut. Governor, aud Senators. Members of Assembly were chosen by persons paving taxes and possessing freeholds ol die clear vnlue of $50, or renting tenement ol die annual value of live dollars. , . ... - The obvious injustice, and ascertained inutility ot this regulation, together wiA other causes, led, 1111821, to the call ofa Conventionfor the revision of our State Constitution. Of Aat Convention I had die honor to he a member: and in the discharge of the duties im posed upon me by tlmtsituation, I labored,and in con junction with a majority of die Convention, labored successfully, to abolish Ae freehold qualification,— The principle which 1 Acn advocated, and winch was established by the amended constitution, extended Ae right of voting for all elective officers of Ae Slate gov ernment to every citizen who should contribute to the support of Government, cither by the payment of taxes in money, or bv labor on die highways, or by service, according to law, in the militia. The result of expe rience and Ae progress of liberal opinions, soon led to a further extension; and bv amendment to thc consti tution finally adopted in 1$&6, the right ofsiillrugc was given to every mole citizen offull age, who shall have Been an inhabitant ofthe State for one year, and of the countv for six months, preceding the election. 1bis provision, however, docs not extend to personsaf color, who, by Ac constitution of 1821, are not allowed to vote, unless tiiev have been, for three years, citizens ofthe State, and for one year before the election, sei zed and possessed ofa freehold of the clear value ot *250 and have been rated and paid a tax thereon. ThcgovormnentofNew York has, for several years, been administareJ under the liberal system established by the new constitution, and the sfill more liberal n- mendme.nt of 1823, in a mnnner which uppers to have been satisfactory to the People. It is possible tiiat there mav be some who regret the extension ol Ae right ot suffrage, and who would be gratified by the revival ot the qld qualifications; but 1 do not believe that such a feelm" is entertained by any considerable portion ol our citiaens. 1 am very sure that any attempt to res trict the exercise of the righ:, any more especially to Ae freehold qualification, would ho put down by an overwhelming majority. In acting upon this subject, my own course has nev er been infiueiice.1 bv any apprehension that it would be dangerous to the rights of property to extend die iicht of voting to those who were widiout property.— Our experience has, 1 think, luliy ilcmoustrattu, that in a community like tint which composes a great ma jority of every State in our confederacy. Acre is no reason lot alarm in Ais respect. M. VAN BUREN. and New York together. : against Judge Barbour?

The object of Ae interrogatories is so palpable, that no one can misconstrue, or misunderstand Aem. 1 hey seek hut one object, aud that is, to ascertain who will be preferred as a second choice for Ae Presidency, should it manifesdy appear that Judge White cannot be elected.

To die ques tions, Aey had a right to expect a direct and unequivo cal answer, Aat die people whose suftrages he sought might fully and plainly understand Aem.

Does he stand up lo toe question, like a candid man, and bay openiv and above board whom he preiers.
