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,

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

The party forming and sustaining the

of the voters in the shi^o n^c^cr km if the

result was, that the c^as^I utioy <*f the

polia. jrnious question, aed that
which now jagitotes the Sthen arose,
namely, t he latter a nst ru me nl siei ng .reject,

The Suffrage party, disregarding legisla

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.

of social intercourse, so fir depart from!
this reserve as to make mention ofnn cn- j
tertainment which we understan I was j
given on Wednesdnv last ly the hispila- j

of the guests, and -the honorable motives

I from England, and to bring around the same
