' By the present constitution, the peo ple of each county elect two members of the House i"bf ''Cimmoni'aird"one Sena. tor and seven Borough towns are pee milted to send eich ohe niember to the General Assembly. Were eachr coun ty of equal population, and did the peo pie of each contribute alike to the sup port ut government, this mode of elect mg tin Assembly would be fair andlwas composed ol no more than 115 ut. Were there any near approach to equality of population and taxes in the several counties, there would not be so tiiuch room for just complaint.

We confidently attirm the fact and challenge them to a fair, manly, and candid investigation" of the subject. We may !o no more than invite a care- j ful examination jifjbe last census, and an honest perusal of the Revenue list calculation, one third govern, and tax two thirds. Assume the Land tax Jot a basis and it will bring us to the same reauiCTTak'e Tor' a basis the public taxes of all kinds and the conclusion is not more favorable to our present sys tem. ? Let all or anyof these be com bined and it will stump upon our coun ty representation the same marks of in equality and injustice. Ihe whole white population of the State is about 472.000 Thirty three counties con tain 156.000 and the other' thirty tyie counties contain 316,000, and yet. these thirty three counties elect a majority nf the Gentrul Assembly.

When the Constitution was ratu lied the State was divided into 3G counties and the General Assembly members, but the number 01 counties is now increased to 64 and the mejaJJishing a fair basis of equal representa- bersof the Assembly to 199. The an nual expense of the Assembly atone is now 40 000 dollar and this sum tails very little short of what the whole go vernment of the State once cost the people. By the proposed amendments to thf Constitulion it is suggefrted that the Assertihly shall not be teqiiired to meet oftener than, once a livo years, andlhst thefrnumbef'ab from 199 to 127. In the early period of our indepen detire, before the Stites of America hail formed their more perlect Union," jbfore the people had become settled into habits ol sell government, me an nual meetine of the Legislature was both wise anil necessary; but -in our modified them. Ihe retorm that is here proposed will diminish the expen es of ihe State more,, than.55vjDQU dol.. lars annually.' A clear saving of 25 000 dollars per year is equal to a reduction of the taxes one third, and yet some have "put their resistance to i reform of the constitution upon Ihe real or pre tended apprehension of an increase of Ihe taxes. It is astonishing with what tenacity men will sometimes adhere to power in opposition to tneir own in- lerer' as well as against the just tights of others.
