Mr. Morehead said, this subject was one of great interest to the State, and on the decision of which no man could feel indifferent. It is a question which is calculated to call forth that kind of public feeling which is necessary for the welfare of the country. Mr. M. was sorry to see any thing like party feeling introduced into this argument. He must tell the gentle man from Newbern (Mr. Hawks) that he had misunderstood the remark of the gentleman from Salisbury, (Mr. Fisher,) when he said we will have a Convention ; it was not the language of menace which he used, but of predic tion. If he could prevail on his friends from the Kast to attend dispassionate ly to a plain statement of facts, he should have no doubt of convincing them that our present representation is unequal and unjust, though they still doubt the policy of the pr amendment. But the gentleman from Newborn has endeavored to excite an alarm in the committee, which was calculated to prevent a fair discussion cf the merits of the question. The gentleman from Halifax (Mr. Alston) had compared the situation of our large and small counties to the States of New-York and Rhode-Island, under the General Government. Mr. A. explained. How are these btates represented in Congress: Like the counties in this State in the Gener al Assembly? No, Sir, the United States are each of them distinct and independent Sovereignties, whereas our counties are marked out by lines changeable at the will of the legisla ture. Congress cannot divide a State, or interfere with it at all. Mr. M hoped, therefore, this comparison will pass for nought. Do we, asked Mr. INI. see property represented in the General Govern ment i No ; the Senate is composed of men representing the sovereignty of the several States. Go, then, to the House of Representatives. Is any thing like property there respected ? No ; nothing but freemen, with the ex ception of three-fifths of other persons, which was a matier ot compromise with the Southern States at the time the Constitution was formed. And is there anT reason (asked Mr. M.) why property should be represen ted in this government? If so, how would gentlemen have property repre sented? How is the Senate at present composed ? Is it not the representa tive of the landed interest of the coun try ? Is not this a sufficient representa tion of property ? Would you have your slaves represented as in the gen eral government? Would you have property represented in both Houses ? If so, you would put it in the power of wealth to dispose of the destinies of your country. But the gentleman from Newbern says that Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Mad ison, whom he calls the high-priests of Republicanism, live in Virginia, where no person unpossessed of freehold pro perty is permitted to vote for a repre sentative, yet he says they do not com plain, nor are their unrepresented peo ple less readv to fight the battles of their country- Sir! in the late contest with Great Britain we have seen the sturdy yeomanry of Virginia ordered to Norfolk for her protection ; we have seen them fall victims to the climate and to exposure ; and they now lie mouldering in the dust, sacrificed by the laws of a country in which they had no voice ; sacrificed by the laws of a State in which they were legislative Iv annihilated. Mr. M. said he ad mired the character of Virginia ; he reverenced her sages ; but he hoped he should nnt be considered as a political iniidel, when he told the committee, he shuddered to think, that the poor freemen of his State should ever be excluded from the Legislative councils of the country. To whom, asked Mr. M. did this Country belong, when it burst the Bri tish fetters and became independent? It certainly belonged to the whole com munity, and not to the wealthy alone. Why, then, thould the people he de prived of any prh ilege for which they jointly fought and to which they are justly entitled ? Mr. M. believed, If he could assure himself that the situ uicn of this Ssate would always rem:iin as it now is, he would not be in favour of calling a Convention ; for no gentleman of that committee held the constitution more sacred than he did. He approached it with that awe, with which Moses approached his God while the thun ders ot Sinai were playing around him ; he touched it with that diffidence with which the Israelites touched the ark of the Covenant. But the foundation of our political Fabric is rotting ; we must repair it in time, or in time it will tumble. What, Mr. M. asked, was the situ ation of things at the time when our present Constitution was formed ? The Eastern part of the State was almost the only part which was inhabited. I he West had but few settlers But our lands are now rising in value, and our population is every day inert-isiiig, while the Eastern part of the State re mains much the same. Take us, said he, poor as we arc, and where is the boasted superiority of the East? Mr M. apologized for this remark ; buf said, the moment this subject was in troduced, the gentlemen from the East made it a party question. Mr. ??I. said, he had made a fe calculations on this subject, which ). would offer to the committee. In ti -is estimate, he had given Granville the West. He had considered Wake as neutral, as she ought to be. She V s much the darling of the West ns of the East. He had made his calculation first as the gentleman from Neu bern wished it to be, according to Federal numbers. The total amount of population (in cluding slaves and free persons uf col our) is 638,829. The whole i-rdrral population of the State is 556, 839. The Federal population of the- 27 W s tern counties is 305,015, which, reck oning 2,993 persons to send a mem bcr, entitles them to 102 members, r stead of 81, which they now send,--The Federal population of the 34 l : tern counties is 234,100, which enr ties them to 78 members, instead oi 102, which she now sends. The Federal population of Wake county entitles her to six members. Representation, then, upon the Federal principle, entitles the West to 22 mem bers more, and the East to 24 less than they nowsend to the Legislature, and Wake to 3 more. Go to the next principle of repre sentation ; that of free white popula tion and taxation. The taxes of the whole State (exclusive of clerks and auctioneers) is SG5,735 60. Taxes of the Western counties are S31,183 9 ; of the Eastern, S32,203 41 ; of W .ke county, S2.348 7. Estimating S353 for each member, and the Western counties will-send 88: the Eastern 91, and Wake 6. Go to the next branch of the princi ple, that of free white population, to which the opposersof these resolutions have the greatest objection, and the Western part of the Stale will be en titled to 31 more members than she has at present, and the Eastern part to 34 less. For the total white population of the State is 419,200. The Western coun ties have 253,235, which, allowing 2, 253 persons to send a member, will give her 112 members. The Eastern counties have 154,014, which will give to them 6S members. The white pop ulation of Wake being 11,951, gives to her 5 members. So that upon the principle of free white population and taxation combin ed, the Western counties are entitled to 100 members, 19 more than at pres ent. The Eastern counties, to 79 members, which are 23 less than at present. Wake county, to 5 members instead of 3. Then compound the representation of the Federal population, free white population and taxation, and the Wes tern counties are entitled to 101 mem bers, 20 more than at present, and the Eastern counties will be entitled to 79
