For THE WING
When the Constitution of I776 was adopted, Ac
comack and Nor' hampton composed Senatorial DIS
trict, andthe first Senator from Northampton
the next from Accomac, and thus alternately flor 40
years. during the whole time they formed separate
district (Accomack having four votes to Northamp-
tons one. This arrangement was considered so bin
ding, that no man could broken IT. and was
never attempted except in instance When
Northampton was to have her turn, citizen of Ac-
comack did venture to offer, and Accomack gave the
Northampton candidate large majority When

western parts of the district The district being en-

the third from MiddIesex Mr.. Braxton; the fourth
from Gloucester, MIR. Jones; and Accomack never of

opposition got up the western shore and fail

believed that arrangement would have been ac

would have been benefited.

people in this Senatorial District and believe it
would be to the interest of that part of the district
west of the Chesapeake not to continue their oppo-
siton to every candidate from Accomack. Hthey unite
with Northampton against Accomack, fheu neuer can
separate Northampton from Accomack; thew NAV pro-

own. There arc too many citizens in Northampton
