The Advertiser in long wordy article Containing neither fact nor reason) against the general ticket law, says { fh t "ft
 lst. That that law is system of one sided eeisla ton; and i-i ft
 2nd That it does not ensure the representation of the people in the House. sst .tI
 These are the only propositions throughout whole column of blathsr. NE
 ltis very easy to indulge in abuse of the most sa- cred things but people of sense look at the argument and sift the three grains of wheat from the three bush. els of cha with which what such persons adulierate their fraudulent stuff We have done so in the case o Advertiser and have extracted from a column of the words the two tangible assertions above cassed They both mean the same thing
 New we would ask who are the people? Why, o course the majority. We'll the democrats have a majority of 5o0O'in the State. Are they not, there fore, entitled to represent the State9 Is there an, precedent in this country for representing minori ty? If the whigs had the majority, they equal, would be entitled to be represented as such.
 Carry the argument of the Advertiser a little far ther. At the election of Mir. Deet, the whigs had majority in this county. In Clark which is a portion of this district, the democrats had majority. Mir. Dellet is rank federalist and was elected Now can any body tell why the democrats of Clark have not as much right to complain of being dsfranchsed under the district system, the whgs of this dist, c have under the general ticket system? The diyis ion of counties is equally marked as the division of districts was, and neither their size nor the number of ter inhabitants has any thing to do with the principle. It is equally applicable and imperative in the one case as in the other. a1.' :
 This simple illustration is forcble enough to over throw every argument of disfanchisement which the whigs rely upon. al- ID .oe5Ff. .iAY Yt '''
 They have indeed no argument to give. They have been rightfully excluded from the State, and smarting under the justice which this law does them they are resortng to every species of chcanery, de. ception and false reasoning that ingenuity can devise to render it unpopular. es
