Theconhoversy Ia Virginia respecting the for
nation of anew constitution ior the government
ofIhe state is probably the most difficult and the
most ticklish one uBch that community have ev-
er been obliged encounter. Ihegreai increase Of

among them naturally divide the people OH the
TWO sides ofthe Blue Ri &c into two parties with
Interests and feelings so essentially diverse, that
MS very difficult TO reconcile and halmonizr
them. By the present Constitution none but free
holders have the right of voting. This must de-
priye large portion nfthe inhabitants of this
privilege so highly valued and so fundamental.

constitution haS fixed the number OF senators ln
she several counties giving majority of that
body TO those counties which lie east of the
mountains, and which contain but n small pro-
portion of white inhabitants. In this way, dis
yrlcis possessing vastly greater number of in
nab,LntS west Of the mountain are kept in mi
noriiy by others with vastly fewer east of the
mountains. The state, by his arrangement, is
governed by minority IN truth, by system

possible forms by the old Aristocracy OF the
state, who are lnlls sensible that the moment the

Their JlSt proportion of influence in the affairs of
