Objection — New York
and Pennsylvania
but 2 out of 20
Answer — The experience
the more instructive
In the States in
which pecuniary qualification
is inordinately
high, the state of the
country is not better
than where it is virtually
nothing.
Oh but (says somebody) New York and Pennsylvania —
these States are but two out of that number which at first
was thirteen and now amount to two and twenty. True:
and for the this very reason the experience is but so much the
more mere intimation, the evidence afforded by it but so
much the more conclusive. In several States of the Union
the qualification is not only real as well as nominal, but
seriously inordinately high: yet no where from the remoteness from
liberal universality lies any dis advantageous effect, from the
departure from nearness to it any advantageous effect, been either experienced
or surmised.
