| presfcion produced by Mr. A. II Stephen* m Ins
i j speech at Spring Hill, on Saturday the HJtli in»t,
relative lo iho vote of Mr. Van IJnrcii in ilia Con
vention of New York.
Mr. Stephens staled that, hy tho'course pursued
, hy Mr. Van Huron in the Convention of the Smic
of Now York, free negroes were allowed llie pri
vilege of voting for meinhersoftlio Assembly ofihnt
Stale, a privilege which was not conferred hy the
old('oi)Hiilnlion. This statement beingiloniod, Mr
Stephens read from she 7ih section of the ('oiisti
lotion, |o prov e what he had staled. I w ill gix p the
vvhde section, which is as follows;
/v inpshni, A pril'lo. 1777
• 7. That every male inhahilani of fnM age, who
shall have personally resided within one of the I
counties o this State, for six months iiinuedi itely
preceding the day of election, shall, nl sn.h elec
-1 (ion. he euiillud to vote for Uepresciilanves ol the
. said C.aiii'v in assembly ; it during the liiuu afore
said. hr shall h ive huen a freeholder. possessing a j
freehold of the Taint* of tweiiiy pound*, within the
*ll ul eouin v, or have rented a loiieinmn (herein of I
, the Yearly v.iluouf (oriy shillings, aad been ruled
? andaciiaHy paid taxes I i I Ins State ; Hroviih / u/ ,
• irui/'f , That every person who now is a freeman o'
the City of Albany, or who was made a freeman
o| (he City of New York, on or before lie* four
leenlh day ol ( teiobnr, in ihe year of our Lord one
thousand seven hundred and Soilenly five, and
shall he nelually and n* willy resiifciu in iho >aid
Cries respectively, shall he emitted to vote for
, representatives ol assembly within his .a d j I ice
ot residence. ’’
I will leave the intelligent reader to determine,
whether any such conclusion, as made hy Mr.
Stephen*, can he drawn from this seeiimi.
Mi Sii pliens not being aide to sustain his asser
t"*n. slated lhai none lon cin/mis were allowed that
privilege; and that free in g'oes, not nemg cni
/'.•■os, a* coriliiig to a deeisimi made in I'ennsvlva
ni.i, were iv In 10l from voting except in the Cities
of New N ork and Albany. Now. so far ns a tie
cisnoi mail.* mid r the t 'oust lotion of the Stale of
Pennsylvania, nlit els free negro stillage in that
State. I have iiothiiH to say ; hill what a decision .
m ole, tinder the ('oiisliiniion of the State of IVnii
sv!v a inn, has in do with that of New N ork, or that
Mr Van linn n ever gave a vole in I’eimsylvtmin, j
I have yd to learn, and mi * has Mr. Stephens.
So far Iron the privilege having been confined
lo free negroes residing in the cities m New York
and Albany, the rentier will perceive, that addi
limial privileges w ere conferred up m mi h as w ere
freemen, in those cities, prior to 177.'»
I he Vote o| Mr. \an Horen, in the Convention i
ol the .Stale of New N ork. eoneerniiig the right of 1
soli rage, about which Mr. S|» phens and his party
now express such great abhorrence, was given in
Mil; if I mistake not, tin* larger portion of lhai
party gave their vole lo .Mr. Van ihiren for Nice
President of the Hinted Si nes in IS’land IN.TJ
Put probably Mr Stephens has forgotten tins >
furl, as a certain other Tippecanoe orator had, w hen !
he slated dial Mr. Van Ihiren had never received 1
i tin* popular v ole in Hie Suite of (teorgia.
I understand Mr. Stephens has recently made an j
electioneering lour through a poilion of Heorgia, 1
: lor the purpose of informing tin* people; Inn jndg- 1
1 ing from his more recent course, I would sooner j
believe fur the purpose of deceiving them.
Although Mr. Stephens may have been success- |
fill in other portions of the State, in imposing upon
1 the credii'ily of the people, whenever he enures to
Kiclniuiiid Comity, where free discussion is invited 1
for the purpose of enlightening the public mind,
upon die rr at political topics which agitate tin*
j country, he will not he permitted to miss without j
| the tear of contradiction, although Ins speech may :
1 he concluded with the close of the day, when lime 1
will not admit a rrjih/ to his erroneous state !
