Download or read book The Constitution of Rhode Island and Equal Rights Classic Reprint written by Equal Rights Association and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Constitution of Rhode Island and Equal Rights IS it asked, what excuse the small minority of citizens, who prefer a suffrage so greatly restricted, offer for thus departing from the funda mental principle of American institutions, that all governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed? Their answer is, the danger which would accrue to good government from universal suf frage. It would seem to devolve upon them to show that we do possess an exceptionally superior government, that our elections are purer, and our public servants better, than those of other Commonwealths, where the franchise is free. This they cannot do. On the contrary, during the twenty years that Rhode Island has been ruled by a minority, corruption in politics has been rife - as bad, perhaps worse, in proportion to the num ber of inhabitants, than in any other State. We have proved no exception to the rule that the pocket borough is the most easily bought and sold, a fact which furnishes a strong argument why, since our borders cannot be extended, we should increase the voting population by broadening the basis of suffrage. As to the quality of our public servants, suffice it to say that during the twenty years past of the men who have been sent to Con gress one only, Hon. Thomas A. J enckes, has acquired an enviable national reputation, while other States, with no better material for stat-es men, have been represented during all that period by one or more men of international fame.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Barrington, Rhode Island "Good old Barrington" extended from Narragansett Bay on the south, to Rehoboth on the north, and from Providence River on the west, to Palmer's and Warren Rivers on the east. The north line began at Providence River, near Silver Spring, and extended to a bound on Palmer's River, north of Barneysville. This volume tells the story of the men who have lived, and the events that have been enacted, in this territory. The sources of information have been so various and widespread that I cannot note them, except to say that the Records of Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay Colonies, of Sowams, of Swansea, and of Barrington, and MSS. loaned me, and those in my possession, have been the chief. Thanks are expressed to the many friends who have supplied valuable papers and important facts. Especially do I gladly recognize the services of Ebenezer Tiffany, Jr., Esq., who has aided me in collecting the material for the chapter on "The War of the Revolution," and for other parts of the work. I acknowledge also the assistance of the accomplished Record Commissioner of Providence, Edward Field, Esq., whose rare historic spirit and judgment I admire. For encouragement in undertaking and carrying the work to completion, "The Barrington Rural Improvement Association" stands first; and foremost in the Association stood Irving M. Smith, Esq., who fell in the forefront of the active battle of life, while these pages existed only in the mind of the writer. Largely am I indebted to the good judgment and lively interest of a devoted wife, whose loving hopefulness was not permitted the satisfaction of seeing the work completed.
