As to virtual universality
in U.S.
1. In New York, qualification,
renting 40s a year
and having paid taxes to the State
year [p113. Art VII ]
New York Capital]

2. In Pennsylvania,
paying one payment
to any State or County
tax.

[Penns. Constit. p134
Art.III.par.1.]
1. Secrecy and
literally there
on both.
2. Universality virtually
[as shewn]
3. Equality virtually
viz so as to exclude
suspense of injustice.

First then as to the parallelism — the virtual identity of conditions Features or elements of radicalism,
secrecy seeking secrecy, universality, equality, annuality
[in respect of rights] of suffrage. ALL this, literally or virtually
, you have in Pennsylvania, and in New York; and deducting
slaves, these are the two most populous of the
2 United States. At 1810, together they in 1810 population of the two little less than a third of the whole
22 United States. Secrecy and universal annuality
you have literally: and of the four elements these are the
only two that literally of which in the literal sense are the existence is possible.

Universality <add>or little short of it a trifle short of it</add> you have virtually: qualification, in New
York renting 40s a year: renting only sufficient; + Constit. p.163 Art VII
holding possession in property not required. In Pennsylvania, not so
much as renting 40s or renting any thing, required: payment
"to any State or County tax" sufficient: payment though it
were but once made.|| || Constitutn p.134 Art.III and any man that pleases may offer himself to make it.

As to equality of vote suffrage, i.e. equality in effect and value
as between right and right in suffrage, the essential point is — not
arithmetical equality, but absence of any such degree of inequality
as partiality and injustice would dislik be the result and proof or partiality
and
and injustice. All
imputation charge of injustice
on this score being in these instances
unknown, details of
the partitionare
enquiring into would not pay for the trouble of the research.
