Thr It hook Island Controversy. Frou the Correspondence of the National Inti-lligejicer. Rhoor Island, April 11. Perhaps to some of your readers at n distance, who, for the first time, a-e be ginning to take notice of tho troubles in this litfle State, a brief account of the rise and progress of them may not he uninteresting. The Colony of Rhode Island received its first charter frotn Parliament in the year 16 V). A second charier, conceding and securing the people the right of self-government was grnflted by Charles II in 166.1. Under this charter tho number of Represents, tives from the towns was fived without reference to tho increase of population.? Of course, in the lapse of nearly two hundred years, thore h is been an inequali. ty in the increase of population in different parts of the State, and hence an unequal representation in the Legislature. Beaides this, the right of suffrage was only allowed to those persons possessing a freehold. In 1324 tho discontent of the people with flits inequality and limitation of rights led to an attempt at a change, knf if iu*a nnt afTn/iforl for IVh n f f?f a m.'l. i?u i ii nii^ vivt vu?'v?vv? -? ? jority. In 1834 the Attempt was again made, and then failed became the Con. vention could not agree upon a new Constitution. The desiro to extend the right of suffrage was not favorably ntortnined bv the Conventions of either of these periods. In January. 1841, in I consequence of a popular movement, the General Assembly again took the subject into consideration, and requested the voters to elect delegates to a Convention, to he held in November last, to frame a new constitution. The Assembly at the pom* time expressly limited the voters to that diss of citizens who enjoyed the privilege under the old charter. In con aequenco of this act, a popular movement was commenced in open disrespect of the Legislativedecision, which resulted in the formation of n Convention in October last, being a month previous totho time f/vr Ka ?iUknri7u/l toffaI Piini'^nllftn IIACVI #*H ? I IV l| !? _' ? V-? - 1 .... ? . - The party forming and sustaining the acta.of the October Convention is called /the a Suffrage party." Thin Convention (formed a constitution extending the right ,of suffrage to nfl white male persons of the age s?f twenty-one vears who had resided in the State onk year and in the /town sijc^poutks previous to voting. This /instrument wan swlumtted to the people, and l4ire? day* appointed to vote upon it. when that class to whom the appeal was , jinadc, and <W*th U'hoin it originated, rift, .ci'ded to adopt it. Meanwhile the legal /Convention, called by the Legislature, p\eX in .Vr\y?riiber, &?d tke Delegates, , jhcing unable ftp ngrce respecting a property qoaliffcaWn, .adjourned to February i Jest, when th*w wet agai*. and adopted a j .constitution c,x?onding the right of swfifea^e to^s,vecy tra^r cprle p?r*on who had resided T\vp *oars State and six Jnontjisjin the twn prior to the timeofan ^rlerttpn.

The result was, that the c^as^I utioy <*f the legal Convention was defeated at the polia. jrnious question, aed that which now jagitotes the Sthen arose, namely, t he latter a nst ru me nl siei ng .reject, jed, what shogl^^jon^jtute the foridamen,t^l law trf ij^e id no' ? The Sutfrnge party claim their ccwuj'ttutwm, h^rn^ed W tixcir . <)ctoher Convention, as this fundaujegtai nnder which, of course, the whnje (JoverngjieJtl of the State nv.ist he created and directed. Their gpjv>n.cnts, on the other hand,-finding the constitution of t^e Jegal Convention February rejecfod, declare that tl^n State fails baci; under ihe old charter of Charles, which is therefore still tfye fundamental /aw. In favor pftbi* are the Governof. a great majority of the Legislature, aip.d ?jls<> the judges of the higher cour s, w ho, of course, sustain the existing Government an4 laws. The Suffrage party, determined to make thjejr constitution operative, have pominated candidates for the State offices, and design to hold a formal election. The Governor declares this proceeding treason, Crvvl.ifta nili-Tonu In niTOIlf nOOII HO f IOOS. summons the militia, and menaces force in order to put down all attempts to recognise practically tb's new instrument, The Suffrage party, disregarding legisla fjye enactments and Executive menaces, nominate th.ejf candidate*# and resolve, if need be, tq oppose force to force, and to carry their p.oint. They have the advantage of being a majority of the people, i^ence the difficulty of coercing them, and of adjusting th? dispute. Both parties have appealed to the Federal Government for assistance. Both claim to be right. In order to show the interest excited in the question, I may mention that, among the candidates for the Senate cn the old charter ticket are J am as Frxner. for many years Governor of the State, and Elisiia Mattiiewson, thirty years ago a Senator in (>>ngre*s?veterans, who would not again enter into the strife ot public affairs unle** impelled by a strong .wnw nfrfutv.
