COMMUNICATIONS.

To the editor of tho Vermont Waterman and State Journal
have read the article in the Waterman of Sept.
10, under the signature ofD NJ CAMP, four Lieut..
Governor, presumed in relation TO the apporiion.
ment of Senators to the several counties with
much attention aud no little surprise. | do not a
gree with him in the practical construction OF the
constitution. II that construction had generally
been considered the true one, tho amendment
would never have been adopted.
The principle adopted 10y the Council of Cen
sors appears to be very plain one, and their first
apportodmcnt of Senators appears to me in perfect
conformity with that principle. That principle is,
that the eenaors should be in proportion to the
population OF the several counties as nearly as pos
sible allowing one senator to each county, be the
county never so small
have said that if the construction put upon the
constitution by Mr. Camp, had generally, at the
time been considered and will now add, even
dreamed Of as the true construction, the amend
ment would never have been adopted :efor the
state would never have submitted to such an inc
quality Of representation in the Senate. 1t is seen
in the article in question that Lanoille county,
with a population about one fourth part MS large
as hat of Windsor county, would have two t!Iiids
as many senators, and as many either of the
counties of Addison, Caledonia, ClIittenden, Frank
lin, or Washington, each Of which is more than
twice as large rs Lamoille; AID it would give to
Orleans county two thirds as many senator's us it
would to Windsor county, although the population
olhe former is bur about one third part as large
ms that of the latter But the Council Of Ceusors,
and The convention which adopted the amend
ments, put veto upon the construction contend
ed for Orleans county at the lime had popula-
ton Of | 375, to which they gave one senator II
they had believed in the construction contendcd
for by Mr. Camp, they would have given that
county two senators. But the Council OF CeEsurS
were men of practical common sense, aud when
they had determined that the senate should con-
sist Of thirty senutors it was easy for them to see
that the basis for them to adopt would be one SEN
ator to about 10000 OF the population, first allow
ing one senator 20 each of the counties Of Essex
aud Grand Isle.

tendedfor would never be submitted to.
1t is not unreasonable 10 believe that the pop,l-
lation of Vermont may ut some future day amount
10 100000. Although wholly reject the con
struction of MIR Camp, aud think his steps false
ones, yet for the present will adopt both and SET
what the result will be in Il population ofsx hun

FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondent Of he W Y. Express.

WASHINGTON, sept. 10.
The President today removed Leonard Jarvis,
Navy Agent at Boston, and Mr.. Vincent Brown
is appointed in his stead. understand, there
was abundance Of proof of Mr.. Jarvis interfering
in elections.
The President has also ordered some removals
today among the principal Post Offices in the
state Of New York, in the large towns, which
have nc; been touched as yet by reform. Anon,
shall give you further particulars.
There is no truth in the report that the Presi-
dent has ncrlercd with the Collector OF New
York, in torbiding him thu exercise of u lair dis
erection aud judgment in removals from office.
John Tyler is not about to he proscriptve, but
he intends to carry out the principles OF Gen.
Harrison, as laid down in the circular signed 10y
Mr.. Webster.
Pay not the least heed to the cutlery that John
Tyler has turned his coat. Unfortunately he dit
fers with many of MS on the subject of Bank,
but his heart is sound to the core. If the Wing
politicians are no, stark mad, they won't turn from
The fruits OF twelve years contest for the sake OF
Bank, or fall upon their swords just as they are
