Virginia

Some of the ancient unjust distinctions in political power on account of property still exist in this State. An exchange paper says: "The constitution of Virginia gives the right to every free holder to vote for Delégales in every county Ín which. he holds a deed of property. Thewealihy and aristocrntic whigs of Richmond are thus enabled to colonize the adjoining counties, by votiog perhaps a dozen times, and the whig loafers vho can get n deed of 60tne swarr.p land, will vote in every cotlnty thev can reach on the day of election, and on the dny afier be ns poor as church mice. Every democratie legislature has endeavored to amend the iotistitution in this respect, but it requiring a t wo-thirds vote, the whigs have been enablecJ to defeat it." A correspondent of the Albany Evening Journal thus alludes to this manner of voting during a few minutes that he etopped at Charlestown, Va: "During these tori minutes I saw five votee given, four of which were Whig votes, headed bv John A. Washington, the proprietorof Mount Vernon, who eime. I wnstold, twenty-six ruiles 10 vote in that precinct, intended to vote in another. and then return home to voté in his own on the same day. You are aware that the vote is viva voce, and that a freeholder can vote at any precinct in the county in which he holds a freehold."
