Apborhonmcnt Of Representation.
Mr.. Fisk said he rose 10 offer resoluti.
on, which he, had for some time wished to
present for the consideration of ,hi. House.
I, is to provide for fixing the appor,ionmen,
Representatives among the several states
according to the third census. The last ra.
ito was one representative for every thirty
three thousand souls which gave one hun.
dred and forty two members to this House
"A number as large as may be consider
ed necessary for the dispatch OF legislation,
or to preserve the liberties of the people.
Ii is estimated that the next census will
give seven millions two hundred thousand
souls, which, according 10 the presen, ratio
OF representation, would give 70 this House
two hundred and eighteen members-A
greater number than could be accommoda.
Ted within these walls, and greater body
of meo than could progress with the busi-
ness OF the House.
After the census shall be taken, the a.
mount in each state ascertaiued, and the
traction members known, it will be more
difficult to fix the ratio than at ,hi. time. |
therefore beg leave to submit the following
resolution. And as i. embraces a subject
OF great importance, l have no objection
that It lay upon the table few days for the
consideration Of the members:
Resoloed, Tha. the appor.ionmcnt of re.
preaensa'ives amongat the several states
according to the third enumeration of the
people, ought to be in the ratio of one re,
preventative for every ior,y.hve thousand
persons in each state, and that Committee
be appointed to bring in bill accordingly
"A motion was made that the resolutio,
lie on the table.
"A motion was also made TO POSTPONE !

1t was also made to lie ON the table which
alter considerable conversation, ob,aine d

commitse on the bill establishing pos,.roads
and after making sundry amendments, III
committee rose and reported the bill.
