To the Eiitora: I do not think that I
could protifably add any thing to what has
been said in the Address of a Committee,
on tlie other [wints of objection to our Con
stitution. 1 ha\e Concluded what I had
time to write on the in(?qu;ihty of our basis
of rcpresontation—the evils of too much
lepislalion, nnd the other bad efTects of hav
ing a Legislature to consist of 200 Mem-
bcVs save one—and their nninuil Sessions.
1 have iiicidcntally noticed the llorough rep
resentation. For myself, 1 cannot hesitate
in admitting however that those towns which
have much trade nud a |io|)u!aion ol any rea
sonable size might, in niy judj^ment, bo al-
lowel to retain tlieir right »>f representa
tion if they desire it. lint arcording to the
present census this rule would exclude all

whom 1 was for a few weeks only; 1 think
liot*mor« than live or six. The little that
I know has been self-tau«ht, picked up from
alonr as a basis of represeniation, but a
