The 'story ha. 4 been industriously circulated Prow mouthieluouth `that the - siaveholder has 'one, vote foi hioasel.and three additional votes for every five slares.he may possess. This falsehood it was the design of the Republican leaders to Lave used 'verbilly, but one editorrsot:a thous and miles - off was stupid eUotfgh to believe it, or sufficiently hardened in tidseholift to print It without believing it. The statement that the owner of slays Las any privileeges at the baliot s bOx that the poorest northern %titer does not have, Is utterly false. In.

If the Black Potpub licans consider the slaves human, heings,. %V. (It) aiot see Why•they should object to thei being counted a part of the popnhition l int! represented. It is only recently tint they have become wiser than the framers of the Constitution on this point: Now. as . the•Lillek Republicans promise to take - ut 'haek to the principles 'and .•poliey sf Madis(xi and Jefferson, fur their edification , we will see what Madison thought Of thi. , v e ry thing: lte says, (• 4 The Fe.deralist,'-' LIN :). .

The cstablishMeitt of the seine rale for the • .apportioninent of taxes, , will'probably be- as little cOutested ; though the rule, itself, iu this .case, is by no means founded On the same principle. .

' Mr. Madisou eon tinies his examination of the same stthject iu three successive chapters of the Fedrali.tt," liut we have quoted suffi ciently fur Chu. purposes. The question of Admitting into the .cenltitution the claust;'we have quoted, turned upon: the : very point, that was at isuo inlhe Revolutionary strug e.ie. our forefathers Contended that aid representatien s;pitid together.

Northern . foreign. population, though not voters, our. eriininalk, and panpena, are all counted into the ntimber entitled to a congress "ionals repretientation. Then why not the slaves, as they are, less , two-fifths of the whole! We agree with Madison, that the •frametsi of the Conititution " with great propriety," pro vided that tins slave to and representa tion should be so adjusted. Now we hope the whole matter-ii clear. The southerti slaveholder has no preponder ance ottir thb northern farmer, nor over hit . non-slaveholtling neighbor in voting.
