Mr. Leak Never did I arise on an occasion in which I felt a greater dis trust of my own abilities, than the pres ent ; a feeling naturally arising in my breast when I consider the vast impor tance of the question that is agitated ; when 1 consider the importance of that principle, that is about to he involved in the final determination of the reso lutions on your table ; that principle that is about to receive a leorislatve sanction so completely subversive of legislative rights. Yet I must confess at the same time, notwithstanding this self distrust, not withstanding my own inability to wipe away the local and sectional feeling al ready roused br the discussion of this question, and which, when agitated, seems to respond with reanimated vi- I con fess I was never propelled forward by a stronger stimulus. I never felt a more irresistible inducement on enter ing the wide field of debate. "Whe ther it proceeds from ignorance, or that I am animated by the justness of the cause, I shall not here determine. But here let me declare, that if I thought our essential welfare and priv ileges as a free and enlightened people demanded it not ; if I thought the prin ciples of a representative and popular government, corresponded with the sit uation in which the freemen of North Carolin a arc placed ; if I thought I could in any way discharge the duty which I owe, the obligation which I conceive myself to be under to the con stituents whom I have the honour to represent, without participating in the unpleasant discussion of a question which has already given rise to a sec tional and local feeling, I positively af firm it would be my choice. In our taking a comprehensive view of the Constitution under which we live, we need not have pointed out the defects existing in that Constitution. We need not be told, as we repeatedly have been this day, that some of its provisions are deficient. We need not be told that equal representation, found ed upon the principle of free white pop ulation, or upon the mixed principle of population and wealth, can never be attained under its fostering care. The most superficial glance will corrobo rate the assertion, and proye to the world, that it is not imaginary, that it is not the wild and enpricious whim of fancy, but that it is the steady and un erring hand of wisdom that tells us to suffer not the most minute infringe ment of our rights. " For the lead ing defect in all popular or republican governments, is the want of a proper jealousy of the minutest infringements of popular rights." Let facts speak for themselves, and when these facts are adduced, let that contracted and illiberal spirit of cec tional feeling which characterizes us this day, be thrown aside, and let im partial feelings usurp the beam, and unprejudiced reason determine facts. Let arguments be governed by their weight, bv the conviction they carry v-ith them, and by that criterion let them rise or fall. When under the auspices and pro tection of Divine Providence, these former colonies became free and inde pendent States ; when our forefathers resolved to shake off the shackles of ministerial oppression, or sacrifice their lives on the altar of liberty ; when those chains of oppression that held us down, those bonds of political associ ation, were burst assunder, it became necessary to establish some laws to pre vent anarchy and confusion, to prevent unrestrained liberty from degenerating into licentiousness, for licentiousness is nothing but an ebullition, an ex crescence of liberty ; it is a speck in the political body, w hich if suffered to rage uncontrolled, spreads its conta gious influence, and, like 44 Aaron's serpent, swallows up the rest." It was then the people claimed to themselves the rirht of establishing a free and in- a right inhe to tyrants only." At this time we had jiist emancipated fiom the colo nial shackles of Kngland, we had just emerged from that political thraldom which had like to have enveloped us in the besom of destruction. It was at such a time the Constitution under which we now live was framed ; it was in times of difiicuhv when it was im possible for that reflection and mature deliberation to be exercised, which the importance of the subject demanded; for at no time is it an easy task to frame a code of laws which can buffet the billows of popular rumor and discon tent ; much less such an one as in its nature has to accommodate the various changes through which we have pass ed. The moie simple idea of order and equity were at th.it time sufficient to guide those venerable heroes in the revolution, in the formation of a code of laws calculated for the internal ad ministration of justice. But equality of representation, the very basis on which all republican governments are founded : equality of representation, that very principle (which does net even appear to be well understood at this enlightened day, or if understood, is treated with indifference) is in its na ture more intricate and perplexed, and requires long experience, together with a conversant knowledge of historv, to be well understood by r.ny person. It has been stated to us by the gen tleman from Salisbury, (Mr. Fisher,) that serious defects do exist in the con stitution, which cry aloud for redress, and that the only method by which re dress can be obtained, is by a Conven tion. This is certainly true, for if it is defective, it can be remedied only by the delegated powers of the people. The sovereignty is in the people, con sequently the people have an indefeas ible, and unalienable and an incontesti ble right to modify, change or annul any form of government which does not go to secure the liberties of the verned. If this position, then, can b true, and that it is there is no gentle man on this floor will deny, it is equal ly true, that every thing that comes in contact with that power, that every thing that prevents the people from having their due weight in legislative proceedings, is a grievance contrary to the spirit of a Republican govern ment, and which the people certainly have a right to consult together for the common good and redress. There are in this State, 62 counties, containing a white population, accord- tiencnuent rot'emmcm cro- inn: to the last census, of 1 v Thirty-five of these counties (which we will denominate Eastern) contain a white population of 164,9T6 ; and the remaining twenty-seven, which we will call Western, contain a white popula tion of 254,224. This division will be observable on a Map, by having drawn a North and South line from Warren county to the South-Carolina line, which will intersect Warren, Wake, Zzc. If the aggregate amount of white population, viz : 419,200 be divided by 186, the number of representatives elected by the 62 counties, excluding the borough towns, it will give 2253, as the number each man ought to rep resent, and the 27 counties, which now have 81 representatives, by this mode of calculating ought to have 112, md the 35 counties which now have 105, ought to have only 74. But as we stand at present, you will find, if you will take the aggregate amount cf the Eastern white popula tion, and divide it by the number of representatives they now have ; and take the aggregate amount ot the Wes tern white population, and divide it by by the number of representatives we nov; have, you will find, I say, that ev ery 15 71 souls in the 35 counties be fore alluded to, have as great a shQ-e in enacting laws, and have the same weight in our legislative body, as eve ry 3139 in the remaining 27 have. How to reconcile this with my notions of a republican government, I confess I am somewhat at a loss to determine, it the white population is taken as the correct principle on hich to build a representative government, and it cer tainly should, in most cases, be the very pivot on which they turn. The number of representativer, that each rent in thtmsclves, and 44 formidable ! county would be entitled to, upon th'
