The main objections they enteitsin a gainst it, are thus stated— • • The Democratic districo of erks,York and Cumberland have a ropresentats n greater than in justice they could claim, whi the Whig -courniei of Union. Allegheny, Su er r &c., are Ileprivedof tinee — theeffierireirtherh !demi-whirl by a fair and just apportionment' th • have. The Senatorial dietacts of Chester and Delaware, and of Montgomery, are obnoxious to the charge of gross inequality and injustice. The county of Chester alone has more than a sufficient number of taxables to entitle it to a Senator. Yet the strong Whig county of Del aware, with a taxable population of over .five thousand, is attached to her, whilst Mangum cry, which also borders on Delaware, without• a sufficient number of laxables, is by this bill given aSehator. The opposition party resis-• ted every uttempt to unite Montgomery and Deleware.,The uniting of Indiana, Armstrong, and Clarion in 'one Senatorial district is anoth er feature of-the Bill, which, in its political as :pert, is peculiarly obnoxious to, us as and we made every effort to form a ffistrict which would have been less objectionable 'to the people of this old district, but without sue celp. the subject war surrounded Witkdiffictil: tics; but considering it their pay to. act die passionately end calmly, in view ol their res ponsibilities as representatives, 'and te‘riain leg, witli'reason, the fear that some desperate men desir 4 e d that the Legislature should ad. journ williuueprissing any apportionment bill, in the, I opt at, by such failure; the• people of the StireWiihld be thrown back upon first prin- anterior to the constitution, .!and tlia each county would send to the neat Legislature the number of:Members she would believe her self entitled to, bringing anarchy and confusion ,into our Legislative. Bells," they deemed it due to ,the best and dearest interests of the Commonwealth, by voting futile bill as framed by the committee of conferrince. ,The address is brief, and Written in an ad- miriade spirit.
