months since, finding Ast his magateine was lo
sing caste with the editors of borne of the SrMthein
prints because of the appearance in it of Occasion
al articles from the pen of GRACIE GIIIiiNWOOPs
(one of the most ilccomplinhed male writers of
the day,) against which the only ground of come
pleint was, that said writer had contributed occa,
sionally to the columns• of the ahti-slavery paper
at Witehioe,ton, articles which exhibited a strong
anti-slavery feeling, addmied a letter to the editor of
one of the Charleston paper'. in whlch,in language
of moat contemptidble and sickening servility, ho
apologises fur the publication of her articles, and
announces his intention to erase her name from
his list of contributors. Andas a farther evidence
of the l base and trifling spirit of the man, he directs
the attention of the editor to the fact that this
Grace Greenwood has always been a prominent
contributor to the colemns of SaarAte's Maga
zine ! What supreme contempt does such a spir
it merit !
On tho Portrait of • celebrated Magazine Pub
lisher, who has lately saved the Union and lost
'a Contributor.
A moony breadth of virgin face,
By thought unviolated;
A patient mouth to take from acorn
The hook with bank notes baited !
Its self-complacent sleekness shows
How thrift goes with the fawner—
An unctuous unconcern of all
Which nice relies call dishonor !
A pleasant print 16 peddle out
in lands of rice and cotton :
Phe model of that face in dough
Would make the artist's fortune.
For fame to thee has come unsought,
While others vainly woo her,
In proof how mean a thing can make
A great man of its doer.
To whom shall men thyself compare,
Since common models fail 'em,
Save classic goose of ancient Rome,
Or sacred ass of Mullein
The gabble of thardskaltil goose
bayed Rome from sack of Bretague ;
The braying of the prophet's ass
Betrayed the angel's menace !
So, when Guy Fawkes, with silken skirt,
And azure•tinted hose on,
Was twisting from thy lovelorn sheets
The slow-match of explosion—
An earthquake blast that would have tossed
The union as a feather,
Thy instinct saved a perilled land
And perilled purse together.
Jost think of Carolina's sage
Sent whistling like a dervish,
Of Quattlel•um in middle air
Perforating strange drill service !
Doomed, like ASSPIA ' S lord of
Who felt before the Jewess,
Or ssd Abimilech, to sigh :
"Alas ! a woman slew us !"
Thou sagest beneath a fair disguise
The danger darkly working,
In flowing locks and laughing eyes
The cunning miachiof lurking.
How keen to scent the hidden plot !
How prompt wort thou to balks it,
With patriot:cal and pedlar• thrift,
For country and for pocket I
Thy likeness here is doubting Well,
Hut higher Wonor's duo it ;
On sudden block and negro jail
Admiring eyes should , view it.
Or, hung aloft, it well migh grace
'Phe nation's senate Chamber--
A greedy Northern bottle-fly,
Preserved in Slavery's amber!

every year that -elapse* until the day' of
Emancipation. it will be so, not !Min
any special liking for theblaeke, for-they
are not favorites ; not from any hostility to
the South, for on every other question
than Slavery the South will find no truer
friends than MOO North. It will be so,
because since the world began the sympa
thies of common men have ,been witlfthe
weak and-oppressed. In that sympathy
they have conformed to a. fundamental
law of humanity which lies sleeper in the
consciousness of honest men, than any na
tional compact can ever go. Man cannot
plant parchments es deep as God plant*
principles. The Senate of the United
States is,august ; and 'such men as lead i
her counsels are men of might. But no
man and no satiate of men, when once the
eyes of a community are open to a ones-
tion of humanity, can reason and enact
them back again to a state of indifference, 1 1
and still less can enlist them along with
the-remorseless hunter* of human flesh.
And of all the very men who will justify 1
Mr. Webster's adhesion to the South, if
a trembling woman, far spent with travel
and want. Iteldingiter babe.to_her
soot, true in her utmost misery to mother
hood, should timidly beg a morsel of bread,
a place to sleep, or a night's hiding place
from a'stvift pursuer„--is there one of them
all who would hesitate what to do ? • Is
there a New England village that would
not vomit out the wretch that should dare 1 1
to harm the slave-mother I There are
thousands of merchants that will. say Mr.
Webster is right, who the next moment
4 011 give a fugitive slave a dollar to speed
on with! There are thousands will say
we ought to stick to the Constitution,
who, when the base e 4 OIIICB, would sooner
`cut their tight hand off than be a party
to a slave's recovery.
~A . few weeks ago, a lad of fifteen years
of age, escaped in a schooner from Nor
folk. 'Arrived in New York, in the dead
of Winter, with only a slave's clothing. he
laid hid in the hold of the craft for a week,
actually freezing, and starving, but endu
ring both rather than moan or show him
self. He would die by inches rather than
go back. He was discovered, and is Aare
enough now. Is there a Consignee, is
there an overseer, is there a merchant to
be found, that would have discovered (hie
wretched, her* fugitive to his owners 1.
"Mr.. Calhoun, who was seldom at fault
in his facts and judgments, though in his
principles be was crazy enough, declared
the truth, that no enactments would be of
any use if the people of the North were
indisposed to arrest fugitive stmts. ' The
people ARE or/polled to alatevatehing oft
lee-soil! No enactments rein be of any
use ? Ten thnussad pulpits are every
week pouring light 'upon the , pnblie mind.
Every religious paper (save a few whose
subscribers are in the valley of vision. a
great army of dry bones.) is standing for
the right. Some few there are equally
too cowardly to speak against the public ,
sentiment of humaeity . which lives in the
North. And Daniel Webster might a's
welt pour oil on Niagara to calm• it, es
honeyettwords on Actin* conscience and
outbursting humanity of Northern free
men and Christians, to quiet them. It, is
because Mr. Seward jigs douc what Dan
iel Webster ought te .
,have . done, and did
not do—repiesented the sentiments of ihe
yeoman, the merchants, the religious men'
of the North ; is because he has tried
the great question in dispute by tests of
justice I it Is because helm spoken man

impression that its fretment 'and etirtsttett

the adoption of a different policy.
When, however, it becomes neeess!lry,

that the trust reposed in me by the sneer !

In n goverment founded on the pope. ,

that the very basis of its superstruefureir

rity and equality of the elective frattehise;
and the equitable distribution of the Mors

life-giving principles—the spirit , end

In recognition of these admitted priripi4

pursuance oldie provibions of the Cony
stitution."
It is due to the Legialature and the pew
ple, that lahould briefly state some onl,
eraaorta that have influenced me in this de
termination.
The bill is, in my judgment. Intettliatio
liolllll, unjust and tefeetlve in its details.
The Constitution requires that in each
"term of seven years an enumeration of
the taxable inabitants shall be 'tirade in
such manner as may he directed . by laW.
That the number of Repreientatives shit%
at the several periods of making stieh'enn4

apportioned among the city of Philadel
phia and the several counti according
to the number of taxable inhabit:Anti hi
each—end shall never be less titan sixty
nor greater than one . hundred. Each
county shall hare at least one representa

until a sufficient number of taxable inhab.
imam shall be : contained within it, to enti.
tie them to one representative, agreeably
to the ratio whichshati then be etablitthed.
further providee "that the:number of
Senators shall, at the periods of makint the
enumeration before: mentioned, be hard
by the Legislature, and apportioned among
the districts formed as hereinafter direct•
ed, according to the'nomber of taxable in•
habitants in eavh, and shalt never be leas
than one-fourth, nor greater than one third.
of the number of Representatives."
In its further provisions are found limi•
onions of the power of the Legislature in
the formation of Senatorial districts.
These provisions of the Constitution
plainly indicate the manner in which. the
apportionment shall be made, and in direct
terms declare as the basis of represents.
tion, the taxable inhabitants of such cowl.
ty :—they require the Legislature to fix
the number of the members of the House
of Representatives, and to determine the
ratio or number of taxable inhabitant!' for
each member, ;Iceording to Septennial e•
numeration. Any department Irotn this
standard or ratio must be a breach.of.the
organic law which guarantees to each coun
ty un equal' representation, according,to
the number of taxable inhabitants therein.
l'he ratio fixed in the bill is 4,805 tax
able inhabitants for one member of the
llouee of Representatives, and'14,743 bk.:-
able inhabitants for one Senator.
In the bill under consideration nt4lrelimil
the following palpable objeMions, and Si.:
olations of the ratio fixed upon by its own,
provisions.
• Ist. The county of Fayette contains 7.-
GI l taxable inhabitants, and is allOWiqk
two members. being 2,110 baubles :les.'
than the number required by the ratio
ed by the Legislature.
The county of Dauphin, with 7.6,13 tax
able inhabitants, is allowed wie Member,
with an unrepresented serplue of 24118.- ! —.
Thus Dauphin county, with a Imief pop
ulation, more taxable inhabiumti, and
whose citizens bear a much larger propor.
