the town. and Bnroughs, one member.
1t is not pretended that this bill is ari'hmet-

counties, as in Caroline and Fauquier, unrsp'

should escape this objection in greater or

mos, vehement objections TO its inequalities,
were for the most part urged by gentlemen who
had previously advocated equal county repre-

II this bill shall have The effect OF giving TO
the majority who declared last spring in favor
of convention, a majority in the convention
relatively as strong as tha. among the people,
we should hope it would answer every just and
valuable purpose. That majority are entitled
to a majority in the convention, and il tbi. bill
