sentativep. Berks haa 16,20*2 taxables, and is
allowed four members, wniiet Schuylkill and
Butierand Lawrence, with 24,762 taxables, are
allowed no greater number , It* the Constitu
tion can be construed to infLct such flagrant
wrong', the liberties ot the people are no lon
ger secure under its provisions.
sth. The county of Crawford, with 8,130
taxables, is allowed two members, while the
adjoining county of Erie, with 8,434 taxables.
is alio.ved only one member.
Gib. The counties ot Allegheny, Butler,
Lawrence, Dauphin, Erie and Schuylkill, with
69.446 taxable inhabitants, are allowed eleven
members, while the counties of Columbia, Sul
livan. Fayette, Westmoreland,York and \) iffl.ti,
with 42.950 taxables, are allowod eleven mem
bers.
Here is exhibited an instance wherein the
voice and influence of 26,496 of the freemen
tl f the Stats are unheard and unfclt in the pop
ular branch of the Legislature. By the ratio
fixed in the bill, the first named counties would
be entitled to fourteen members, and the last
named counties to le&> than nine members.
7th. Ihe counties of Adams, Allegheny,
Butler, ljawrence. Beaver, Dauphin, Delaware,
Erie, Indiana, Lebanon, Philadelphia city, Som
erset, Union and Lancaster, with an aggregate
of 149,294 taxables, are allowed twenty-five
members—whilst the counties of Columbia,
Sullivan, Crawford, Fayette, Monroe, Vayne,
Pike, Mercer, Venango, Warren, M ifflin, Mont
gomery, Susquehanna. Wyoming, Westmore
land, York. Tioga, EIK, M'lveiri and Clearfield,
with an aggregate of 105,280 taxables, are
given the same number. In the assessment of
taxes, and the appropriation of the public monies,
the wrong inflicted on these partially diefran
ch.sed counties is readily perceivable.
The instances of inequality and injustice, in
the bill, similar to those menioned, are so nu
merous, that a further examination and expose
of them would seem a waste of time. In this
inequality of representation, and disregard of
the ratio fixed by the Legislature, there ip a
violation of the spirit and letter of the Consti
tution. The district composed of the counties
of Ciearfield, M'Kenn and Elk, represents an
instance wherein counties erected since the
adoption of the Constitution are given a separate
representation on a lees number of taxables
than the ratio number fixed by the Legislature.
The formation of representative districts by
the union unnecessarily of several counties, is
weil calculated to remove the just responsibil
ity that the representative owes to the constit
uent, and to prevent the popular voice of some
ot toe counties being heard in the Legislature.
Tins anti-republican feature ought lobe avoided.
The district composed of Armstrong. Clarion
and Jefferson exhibits the following facts: The
representative ralio is 4.865; the county of
Clarion has 5,087 taxables, entitling it to a
member with a very small excess. The coun
ties of Armstrong and Jefferson have 8,708
laxabies, being proportionably a much larger
number of taxables for two members than is
required by th g bill for the counties of Fayet'e,
Westmoreland, Berks or Crawford. The in
terests of these counties may be similar, and
to that extent no wrong is perpetrated , but in
the event that either county should have sepa
rate or conflicting local interests, the rights and
wishes theieof must not only be unheard but
disregarded. The same remarks apply to the
districts composed of Cumberland, Ferry and
Juniata; and Mercer, Venango and Warren.
In the arrangement ot the Senatorial Dis
tricts, the same disregard ot the ratio fixed by
the bill, and of the rights of taxable inhabi
ting, IB exhibited.
lit. To the district eomposed of the counties
of Tioga, Elk, M'Kean and Fetter, with 6.673
taxables, is given one Senator, while to the
district comptsed of the county of Lancaster,
with 2*2,843 taxables, is given one Senator
'I he district first named falls short of trie ratio
fixed by the Legislature 6,070, whilst the last
named district exceeds the ratio 8,100 taxable?
l>ancaptcr county, with 14.171 taxables more
than the counties first named, is allowed no
more influence on the floor ot the Senate.
2nd. The counties of Lancaster, Chester and
Delaware are allowed two Senators; the taxa
b!eß therein are 4*2,8 M). thus requiring 21,440
laxabies to elect a Senator; whilst the count ies
of Tioga, Putter, M'Kean Elk and Erie are
allowed two Senators, with 17,107 laxabies,
thus requiring only 8,553 taxables in these
counties to elect a Senator.
3d. The counties of Crawford, Mercer, Ve
nango, Warren and Jefferson are united and
allowed two Senators, although the number of
their taxable# only exceeds that of Lancaster
2000, and falls short of the txahleg of l,an
cas'.er, Chester and Delaware 18,029 —a differ
ence and inequality greater than the ratio fixed
bv the legislature tir a Senator. The number
of taxable# in tlie 18 h. 19th and 20th districts
i' 41.958—t0 these districts this bill gives four
S*-fjat.irs, while to the 4th and 7ih districts,
with 42,*60 laxables, is given only two Sena
tors.
It is not perceived upon what principle of
prprieiy the system of double districts is
adopted. In the formation of the 19th district,
which largely lacks the number of taxab'es re
quired by the ratio, for two Senators, the county
of Jefferson, with 2.622 taxables, is included—
while the county of Clarion, with 5,087 taxa
bles, and more eligibly located as contiguous
and adjoining territory, is rejected. F rom this
fact it is manifest, that this double district was
created with no view of representing fractions,
or approximating to the ratio fixed by the bill.
It n:av well be deemed, an act of hasty and
improvident legislation. The counties of Craw
ford and Erie; of Crawford, Venango and
Warren; of Mercer, Venangoand Clarion; of
Erie, Warren and Venango, would all appear
well located for single districts. The transpo
sition of the counties of Clarion and Jefferson
from the districts formed by the present bill,
would make both districts approach much nearer
the ratio adopted bv the Legislature, provided
this system of double districts cannot be avoid
•d. The peculiar local interests and number
of laxables in the counties embraced in the sth
and 24th districts, would not appear to demand
the combinations made by this bill, end which
are so likely to remove the direct and just re
sponsibility of the representative to his constit
uents.
The 4th district is formed of Chester and
Delaware counties. The county of Chester
alone is entitled by the number of her taxables
according to the ratio fixed, to a Senator, yet
the county of Delaware, with 5,267 taxables,
is unnecessarily added to form said district,
whilst the county of Montgomery, adjoining to
Delaware, with less than the requisite number
<t taxables, is allowed a Senator.
The counties composing the 2d, 4th 7th,9th,
Dhh, Iflih, 17th, 2lst, 24th, 25th and 26th dis
tricts. contain 24.'} 677 taxable inhabitants, be
"IJJ more than the nne-ha'f of the taxables in
'he whole State, and are allowed by this bill
1 1 Senators, whilst the remaining districts con
'aiiiing '246,052 taxables, or less than one-half
hie taxables in the Commonwealth, are allowed
Senators. This result exhibits a wrong that
cannot be sanctioned by rny co-operation.
I have caused to bo prepared, and invite at-
to the tabular statement annexed to
'"i* mesaage. It will furnish in a succinct
o, SJ arg'ysjsof the biJ! herewith returned.
1 .iav heretuiore urged upon the legislature
-he propriety of giving to important public
measures early attention. I regret that the
duty ot apportioning the State has been delayed
to so late an hour of the session, thereby pre
cluding that consideration by a co-ordinate
ranch of the government which its importance
emands, and which the present bill convinces
me it did not receive at the hands of the Le
gislature. With thesinceredeaireot expedit
ing your labors, by an early return of this bill,
have devoted my time to its consideration
since its presentation to me tor an examination.
I cannot believe that the representatives of
the people, or any ot them, would designedly
inflict wrong upon a pirt of their fellow citi
zens.
| 1 fee! that the spirit of justice and fair deal
ing, that so largely marksthe character of our
common constituency, would frown indignantly
upon all attempts to disfranchise any portion
of the citizens. 1 know that the people will
denounce any and every encroachment, as they
have always heretofore done, that ir.ay be con
templated against the liberty and equal rights
of the citizen.
1 he bill is returned to the House of Repre
sentatives, in which it originated.
