Or if tire city were divided into three wards, aa uenrly equal as may be, and each ward elect three of the Aldermen, then evury vote would count, lfcit instead ol that the city is divided . into throe wards, tho first has about four hundred vo ters; the second about four hnudml voters; and tho third, twenty-eight hundred. So that cue Vote in the first and second wards counts as much aa seym votes in the third ward,. That this is a pliiu violation of fundamental principles, the apportionment of rep resentation, is too plain for argument That the Legislature never intend-d such a result, wo are obliged to aa . sumc. - Nor is thcru au vuiiiur stated in the case that can reasonably account for it. To the suggestion that it wiu to protect property from irrciiuiujbbj voters, it in auswered, that it 1 1 bUtotl, in the cascr that the vahiatiu of proi- erly iu th i third ward ia about eyuoJ , to the valuation in both tho other' wardi lmt tocether.

Aud to the Miggwtiou that it ivi ! favor tho intelligent aud educated nnd givo them tho coutrolof tho city gov cjumcnt, it is uuswercd that by t ho same IjtgitlHturo such a principle ih expreutly reHidiattl an rxinting in tho present UountituLi n, and i- u-,, presBly prohibitctV from Uing iucoi KraUtl iu auy bitlseqiieut i'-om-titutiou.
