MONSTER, the Apportlonment Law, como
forward, like men; and vindicale your
selves before your constituents!
Again; why was the proposition to form
a Senatorial district Of Harrison and Car
roll, reIecteds Gen. Bostwlck The repre-
sentative of Harrison county was Eavora.
bic to that proposition. The location and
population Of the two counties clearly in.
dicated the propriety Of such ronnexion:
and such was the opinion OF one Of the
Apportionment committee, as communica
ted to the writer ol this article, before that
committee made The report. If our Inn
mediate representatives, the Columbiana
members, had desired to discharge Carroll
from their custody and acknowled ge her
independence, an ample opportunity was
afforded. But those members had very
different purpose to subserve They in
tended 10 perPeIuate the dominion Of Old
Columbiana over Carroll; and, 50 far as
the election Of Senator may be involved
Che representative in congress having
been previously secured ), they will have
accomplished their obecii unless The peo
pie OF Carroll unite, as one man, with
those of ColumbIana, who are disposed to
do Carroll Justice, and resist the first at
tempt that may be made 10 exercise that
dominion oppressiveIy.
Iflhen, the positions which we have
assumed on this subject be correct (and
we hold ourselves ready to sustain them,
at all times it is not trae that the Colum
biana members consented to unite with
Carroll, because the representative Of no
other county would consent 10 unite with
her; but it is true that this union was the
result of the willul and preconCerled &C.
tion OF the Columbiana delegation. Nor
do we censure them alone for this fragrant
violation OF the rights Of the people - the
members from the adjoining counties
with one exception,) are eqaIly pGrtici
pes criminis. But why, it may be asked,
agitate this matter now? or at any other
time9 Have the people of Carroll any
possible means Of redress? 1t must be
conceded that, without the corporation
of CoIumbiana, which from a proper
sense ofiustice Carroll has right TO ex
pect, the latter county must, for the next
four years, submit TO the outrage which
has been perpetrated upon her rights, by
the Apporuonment Act. But indeed, l
we had no means of redress, it would lilly
become the free spirit Of this people, II

We have now discharged what we hav
conceived to be our duty, with as mucI
