Following out the results of this scheme, Mr.. S.
said 1t would have required 1857 OF the white popu
ation of the west, rihuting to the treasury COS
dollars. to- send onedclegate Willie in the eastern dis
trict 48iO persons, paying 1905 dollars, would have
been entitled TO equal representation. Pursuing the
inquiry, he said that it found that the political
rights OF ,165 persons would be sacrificed in each
Delegate District of the West, to 2.295 Diars ex-
cess of taxation, In each Delegate District Of the
East. In thus comparing the measure of political
rights, in the two extreme Districts of the State he
said it found, that 4, SIS white persons in the
west, were required to render all their rights
IN the government on the payment of 2 ,295 Dollars
beyond the average taxation by Eastern District
BY this scale for ascertuinng the relative political
weight Of men and money, it was found, that the
highest attributes of men, the dearest inmuni-
ties of freemen, were TO be rated at so C. per
head. This political morality and equali,y he said,
had been supported by the votes of nearly one
hafof the Convention, but happily for the liberties
Of the couDtry,t had not secDreds majority.-The
next scheme for the security of property, as it's
friends were pleased 10 dcnomnate it, but which TO
his mind, looked to power and power alone, was the
proposition of the gentleman from Fauauer fNIr
Scott, to apportion the Senate to TAXATION alone
proposition, which if adopted. would have eivcr in
that body, equal political weight to 400 inhabi
of The Iowands, with 692 nha bitants of the
Western District; and this scheme. he said had
been rejected by but small majority. Mr.. S. then
entered INTO comparison OF Tire relative merits of
tue resolution under consideration aoreed To in
Committee of the whole, and those submitted by the
gentleman from Frederick (Mr. Cooked which had
for their object, House of Delegates founded on
white population, and Senate based on federal num-
bers. He said, that he had used throughout in his
computations of the present population of the Com
ealth, the tables furnished by the Auditor: lie
did not maintain their entire accuracy. but believed
they approa1matcd the truth sufficiently near for
general pur poscs of enquiry and comparison.
