Ratio uf nopresentatiom
Our friend of the Monirdst Pentorrat, is .quite
(ern gut" tvith , the ploc.eedings of the fate
cretin meeting, held. in this borough. Ile echoes
the opinion of certain gentlemen here, that the
appointment of fire persons as a cOmmirce to con
fer with the remaining counties of the Senatorial
ilistriet, is taking the .advantage of Susquehanna,
who has only appointeJ three. We must confess
we don'toee the monstrous 'injustice of the thing
Supper.. Wyoming w47!k. to apppint a committee of
ten, wunhi it be unjust to the other countieil , We
imagine the arrangement 'to be made, is not to be
erected by any particular force in the Committee,
biatis to be the result of mutual agreement, where
in stvh County is to concur. No County, withan'
desire forlarmony and success hereafter, would .
go into such a conference ) with any desire to over
awe or over-vote aornaller county. A proper re
gard for the rights of each county should,. and zwe
have no doubt, will prevail. Su our neighbor may
calm his troubled mind.
The ratio of representation to-be fixed upon, is
another thing. (Here let us help the Democrat
further out of its trouble, by cottecting the typo. ,
graphical error, irk. the resolution of instruction, El)
that it will read tot" recognize the relative popula
tion, number of taxable ,, , or democratic votes in
the counties.") Such a ratio we believe, as did
the meetinr,-vrould be just to each County. ft is
an arrangement similar to that which Susquehanna
now acts under in nominating a Senator, if we
have been informed correctly. It offers to the oth
er Committees of this Senatorial district, all the
rights, and influence and claims,
,to which they
are *titled by the us.vesof the Stare Convention.
They can choose as the ratio, either their popula
tion, number of taxables, or Democratic votes.—
Can anything be fairer: than this?
The follptving showii the number of taxables of
each County, with the vote for Longstrethin
Susquehanna,
Wyoming,
Total,
Brad ford,
Excess of 13raciford
showing t)iat Bradford has n httmber of tumbles
irk! Democratic votes .greater than both the other
counties The porn!atinn of each county of course
cannot be ile!errhiticd accuratotv.
Rrarord will ask nothirg of her sister counties
rrhich is not clearly her right, but she will never
consent to be put upon equal with Wyoming con
taining only a quarter of her population and Demo
cratic strength. She seeks no control of the Sena
torial Conferences, but an influence proportionate
to her vote„which shall protect her from undue in
fluences in ftie other Counties, whose interests are
more closely blended by being within the same
Representative district. We have no doubt,. the
Cemmitt/e, when it meets, will be actuated by the
kindest and most liberal feelings, and he able to
arrange all the preliminaries in a satisfactory man
rm.,. Such we know, is the spirit of the gentle
men apiminted by Mad ford.
In this connecnon, it i 4 amusing to notice the
consistency of Mr. Ward's organ, here, the North
Peanryivanian. That paper approved most cordi
ally of Messrs. CANFIELD and Ptousir's proposition
that each County shouid be equally represented. rt
The very next week, in speakiag of the proposiikt
change in the mode of electing . Delegates to the
State Convention it says:
"In a party convention where candhlates are
primallv settled upon—it is right that the party
should be represented according to its strength in
the respective counties."
Certainly: and this is all Bradford ails for.—
We hope to see the plan adopted by the next state
Convention.
Tha North Branch Canal.
The friends of this improiement, have, great rea
son to be thankful even for the unsatisfactory pro
visions made-tor ite completion. Under the section
appropriating 6260,000 to the North Branch, we un
derstand the Canal Commissioner, will feel author
ised to place a- ponion or the remainder of the
work under contract, immediately. There is no
doubt entertained - , that the- money will be in the
Treasury, provided no untoward and unexpectid ac
cidents occur to make extraordinpry expenses nec
essary.
We think we may safely congratulate the peo
ple of the North Branch, upon the certain prospect
there nowle, of an immediate completion of our Ca
nal, and the realization of those hopes which have
so often beep disappointed, that it will require the
merry note, of the bohtman's hem, echoing among
our monn*.ains, to satisfy them they are not again
to be cfieated. The resumption of the work now,
$ its certain completion.
N. Y. & E. RAIIAOIII).—Fenn the Tribune we
learn that there are about 5 000 men at work on the
Erie Railroad beyond Coming, and the whole
work will be done at the contract time. Of the 125
miles beyond ilornellsville, 75 or 100 will be iron
e.l this Fall, and the remainder by May, 1831 ; so
:hat the whole line to the lake be ready for
the cars at that fine. The Rnal from Dunkirk to .
the State line, six feet gunge, is under progress, as
is the Road from the State line, to Erie. The
whole will be completed by the time the Erie
Road is finished. The Rbad from the State line to
Erie has been leased for eight yearn by the line
Rom Dunkirk to the Sato line at 8 per cent annum..

Tits True question it Lustier
• The Southern "members of cUngreasti, or the
greater portion of them, have 'Willi issued, an ad
dress to the people orthe South, reg arding . the ea,
tablishment of a journal at Washington, to be de
voted exclusively to the interests of the South, and
tPdefettd her " peculiar institutions." We regret
exceedingly, we have not room for the address en
tire—for it gives the best idea of the
_true purposes
and wishes of ihe South we have yet semi. It
seems that even the Washington Union, is not ultra
ennugh4or the interests of the South, but they de
mand an organ there which shall make all consid•
erations Minor to the propagation, extension and
perpetuation of slavery. They complain that there
no papers there which "consider the preservation
or sixteen hundred milliont of property, as para
mount to, or even equal to the maintenaeco of some
political organization, which is to secure a Presi
dent, and who is an object of interest, not because
he will certainly rule or ruin the South, but chiefly
be.atise, he will bestow office and spoils." Against
such as imputation as to his southern otiluxioxy,
Father Throne interposes a most touching and ear
nest appeal, and praesty against tha necessity of
a southern organ, from the.past course of the Union
"in the contest going on," says the address,
" some sixteen millions worth of negro . roperly is in
volved directly, and indirectly, though not less
surely, an ir.calculabls amount of property in othe:
forms." Listen to this startling acknowledgement,
ye who imagine the South are.battling againid the
pi ineiple of Free Territory, merely because it is an
abstraciion ! Here is the plain acknowledgement
by southern men, who make no secret of their pur
poses that the question is one of property, not prin
ciple. It is a question whether Freemen shall in•
herit and possess our newly acquired Territories or
whether they shall bo given up to the rapacity o!
slave-holders to increase the value of their " six.
teen hundred millions worth of negro property."—
The fixed and (lectured purpose of the south can•
not be denied. It is to extend over those territo
ries the curse of slavery. Those alto tell you oth.
enlist —or assert that slavery can never go there
—deceive you, and are not worthy of your confi
, deuce. Whether by positive enttctment—by non
intervention, or otherwise, the result will be the
same, unless the blessings of the Jellersonian Or
dinance is extended to those countries.
We hail the establishment of the journal corneal
plated.by the address. Let us see what kind of
arguments-it wilt advance for the justice and bles
sings of slavery. that it sh.mid be extended and
perpe.uated. We tear, however, it will not be es
tablished. The advocates of slavery-propagation
shook f om diAcussion—southern men in Congress
have fought the census bill, because it would exhib
it the vast disparity between the growth and pros
perity of the Slave and Free states, and make plain
the blight and mildew that institution casts upon
their advancements Discussion by such a paper,
.would be fatal to the hopes and prospects of North
ern Dough-faces. It would exhibit, to the North
the monstrous designs of the Slavery-propaganda,
and made all attempts at decerion by the North
ern adjuncts futile.

of the defeat of this Bill in the Home kiy. a, decisive
vote of the Democratic members,. egeinsi .the re.
port of the coalmines of conference __who view
it in all its,phoures as unequal, unjust and eppres
siVe upon. the Democratic party. Immediately on
the defeat of the Bill, in the House, another was
read in pities. by Dr. Smith a f Cambria, and also
one in the Senate by Mr. Mnbienherg, but it soon
beams apparent that the Whig majority in the
Senate would never permit the passage of another
bill more favorable to the Democratic party.. In
deed it was distinctly understood that the traitor
Speaker would,go even farther than his Whig at ,
beam annoy and outrage the feelings of the „De
mocracy—under this state of things, a portion of
the, rttajority is the hopes who happened to have
their ownrirstricts in a shape to please their own'
peculiar slaws, concluded on Monday to move a
reconsideration of the defeated Bill and finally pass
it into a law, acting under the impression that in
consequence of the peculiar organization ol the
Senate it would be impossible to obtain one any
better. The motion to reconsider prevailed sad
the previous question was immediately ordered ;
this loriked a little like forcing the opponenisof the
Bill to immediate capitulation, and when the yeas
and nays were taken on he main question, • quo
rum of members did not vote, the day was spent in
motions to adjourn and lb put the main question
until the hour of adjournment arrived, and the mem
beta separated without taking a vote. On. Tues
lay morning, however it was apparent that a de
termination to pass the Bill. end close the session
was presented and the House at once proceeded to
take a final vote on the main question which pre
vailed, and the report. was adapted by 48 yeas to
43 nays so the Bill was finally passed and imme
diately sent.jl4 ) , the Governor for his approval and
signature.
I gave you in my list a single instance of the
unequality of the Bill as it was reported and has
finally passed. I herein enclose a list of the de.
tails with their population attached, whieh will en.
able your readers to analyze it for themselves, but
cannot refrain from citing an instance or two in
the Senatorial arrangement, showing the palpable
injustice done to the northeer counties. For in
stance Bradford, Susquehanna sad Wyoming with
a population of 17,827, are allowed one' Senator.—.
Lerma, Columbia and Nfountour with a por elation
of 17,619—0ne Senator, while Bedford and Som
.,
ersetwith 11,210 taxables have a Senator and Ju
niata, Mifflin and Union with 11,614 tasables have
a Senator. Again, in the Democratic Districts or
Westmoreland and Fayette it takes 19,229 taxa.
bles to be entitled to a Senator, while the Whig
disniet of Adams and Franklin can have a Senator
on a population of 14,005. Turn then to Philadel
phia Cty and County, in the city 22.730 Whigs
have two Senators, while the 54,554 Democratic
population of the county are allowed but three. At
an equal ratio with the city, the county would have
been entitled to fire Senators instead of three ; or
at least wiihiii a small fractinn. Such it:justice po
litically administered by Whigs aided by a traitor
renegade in the Senate. There are, it is true, ap
parent inequalites itt the bill' which show ad yenta
gst on the opposite side but these, when scrutiniz
ed, will be fond tar exist, mainly lb counties which
could not be otherwise arranged; and that it was
a work of neeeissity rather than che;be.. The Bill
is full of inequalities-, and in many respects very
exceptionable—so much so that the Whip - wbo
voted for it have found it necessary to publish an
address explanatory of their rotes.. The thirteen
Democrats who voted in hero!. of it have also plac
ed upon the record their reason for voting in favor
of it ; while that portion of the Democratic party
which opposed it to the very end have also made .
public their reasons for not voting for it ; and even
the sent in his protest at the time of
signing it ; so yon wilt readily perceive that there
is a great wrong somewbere,, or it would not have.
been deemed necesaa.iy by every body who his
bad anything to do with the hallo maks their res.
pectin excuses to the people.
The following is the arrangement of the districts
as contained in the Bin, which nobody seemiwill
ing to butter, every body condemns, and yet which
is to govern the people of this commonweahh for

On a comparison of the fotegeing with the ar
rangement of Districts it will be Peen that the Dem.
oeratie party cannot hope to possibly mini mote
than etx oat of the eleven Senators to be- elected
nett fall—and it will .need'firm and united aetioa
to cfn that.
01 the Senators who hold o'er, eleven are:Dettt
octets and eleven Whigs, and suppose the Demo..
cratic party emceed in every new district upon
which they have any right to 'calculate, they will
find themselves, at the meeting of the next Legis.
letoraprecisely Where they were this waiter, trek
a bco-e majority of one in the Senate and without a
certainty that they can retain even that throughout
the pavess of organization. So, Wee it in "any
shape t and under any at‘peet, it is decidedly and
emphaficalir a' Whig messare in its inception
a Whig triumph throughout in its completion,.
The appmprirdion to the North Ili. ancir of 52 . 50,-
Obb under the restriction:, of which your readers
have been advised, has become a taw, and-I have
reason to believe that a portion if not all of the re
maining Work, will be pot under contract doting
the present season, and that the money will be forth
coming as fast as needed, unless something, should
otter Whieh cannot now be foreseen; to render its
disbursement unjustifiable nraler the law. A t aH
event's, the appropriation being made, I' knotv it N
no* this settled opinion of the inethbers who left
here. that it should be prosecuted to completion as
speedily as prosstbfe. The State haling reembatt.
erl in :he project of finishing this work it would be
the height of weakness• and absurdity to falter
again. The next legislatire, will, most ammo:firm
ably make an appropriation sufficient, at once, to
complete the work and test its utility.
On the last day of the Session, Mr Best resigned
his post of Speaker of the Senate, and Maxwell
hlcCaslin the gentlemanly, dignified, and popular
Senator from Greene was elected in his stead. Mr
MtCaslin is a Democrat of the " right stampt,"
courteous and affable in his deportment, and as be
has one year to serve he ought to be, and wily be,
chosen Speaker of the next session, if the Dent*.
cratic party is tree to itself and its own interests. -g-
Best, true to his Memel, deceived the *Mgt at
the very lest,. in refusing to vote for their candidate
for Speaker. it seems he entertained some' per
sonal anirnoeity lowan!' Mr. Crabb and would not ,
vote for him, and as helm got from the Whigs all
the favors he wanted (viz : their totes forhis
tour County) he had nothing more to lose So af

The most destructive fire that ever occurred in
Western New York has fallen upon our neighb r
village Corning. A fire
.broke out in the Conti
and Blossburgh Depot, on 'Saturday laelliblout ha
r t
past
past tl, A. M., and spread With-suctr itipidity a
the wind blowing a perfect gale, all aeons to save
were rendered useless until all the businewi part of
the town laid hi ruins. At first it *a* thought b,
Me Coming-people Om* tumid 'be stopped before
it got much tarthei than- the Depot,—am this they
toxin found they were mistaken—the flames flew
with the wind aid spread in all direction_s An
Exptias was immediately desritched to Elmira
for assistance. and Stieitt to goodly number of fire:
men with two engines and other apparatus Were
wending their way to-Doming as fast aalococnotive
power could carry them, and arrived there in time
tb save a tare anibont of lifinbbr and a,num&er of
building+, which otherwise woeld certainly have
been destroyed as there was no fire apparatus at
Corning, mid consequence of which them were
from 8 to 10 acres burnt orer.
Not being abte to give -a lull list of the names of
the losers, we must content ourselves
.by giving
that which we have heard from those who'were at
