have Just had the privi-
lege OF perusng letter adressed to
gentleman of this place, signed by tho
Hon. Samuel Cresweli, member of the
Legislature OF this State, from the county
of Columbiana. From this letter, learn
the sitnil, Of our county vt the present
for political purposes II appears THAI
the Legislature have pretended to attach
Carroll to ColumbIana Tor Senatorial
purposes, for the next four years ensuing.
/ learn also that this S SENATORIAL District
is TO have but one Senator nnd four Re-
preseRtatives. One Representative for
CarroIl and three for CnIumbIana -
ahe question now arscs, how does it
happeH that this district is entitI to four
Representatives aud only Que Srnator--
there being half as many Senators ~
there are Representatives in tho Legls.
latureS The iolIowingiS the best rApIu.
cation can give Of this matter, TO wig
$3.50 electors are entitled TO a Senator,
and of course TWO Representatives Gu.
Iunbiana having G32e eiectrsis only eR
titled to two Representatives aud one
Senator without our help. Carroll haV
ing 1860 electors is eatltIed to one Re-
preventative and halt a Senator; or, ia
other words, one Senator, two years oal :
Of four. We, then, ought to have in this
district one Senator, and one u'hee SEN
alor two years cut Of ionr, and three Rs
representatives. two in Columbiana and
one in Carroll, and this is precisely lhs
bill reported to the House by Inc COM
mittee sPponteI on this subject. But At
appears, this bill has been amended,
when before the house; and the half Sen
atOr for Carroll has been transit rred 10
some ether district, aud Columhiaaa has
got third Representative in lieu there r
Of, bargain & sale is very apparent here.
And this kind of management, Of bargain
and sale liz all ages, has heen consider
ed worthy Of political death! This il
one of the most daring outrages against
political rights ever attempted in any
country, 10 any age Of the world! Co
Iumblana did not need 10000 votes 10
elect Senator. She therefore concluded
to S,U 1900 uotes in CarrOLLlo some 9TH
er district; and purchase another Repre-
Seatat,rc for herself; and thereby open
up IA way for all three Of the present gen
tIemen (pedars) 10 return next session;
and take their seats as usual. Had not
this sale been effected, one of the traitors
mus! have been compelled to remain at
home next session. This is the only
reason for this high handed measure, that
ever caa be offered. Bot, if am not
greatly mistaken, Columblana is we'll a.
ware, that he that counienances the thief
parlakes Of his guilt; and therefore Ihese
men will be permitted 10 remain at home
next winter, in order to acquire more
perfect knowledge Of that wholesome
rale of loss and gain; and to endeavor to
prevent the Iaurels ingIorioasIy won in
Tho last campaign from turning 10 weep
ing willows. Witness The conduct of
these pretended democrats last winter,
they were so tenacious of the peoples
rights they opposed the passage Of a
bill, granting corporate privileges TO
body of protesting christians for benevo
lent purposes, because, as one of the gen
Iemen observed, at the time, the words,
Pittsburgh Conference" were in the
,iA. Therefore, the money would leave
he State. Another instance of the
chflluess Of those innocent careful
'realures of the liberties oftbe people of
his State; (Which was good, had they
,een sincerely was the broadside et goat
he Bank. From these daring acts with
many others, | felt satisfied that all was
veil, that these gentlemen (ls supposed
hey were) would ask for nothing buk =
