IF the Wings should poll 10000 majority in the
State under this Apportionment, they would elect
sevea Members of Congress, and have an even
chance for the eighth (in the XIth District,) for
the XXIst is now certain to go against them, ever
if they had 1000 majority. Polling or 5000
majority, they could elect but seven Members OF
all, with fourteen against them Ought they TO
have submitted to such Democracy as this, when
there was q mode of constitutional and peaceful
appeal to the People
The obvious inequality of this Apportionment
must strike every observer. Here are Districts
of IS, 15s, S4,49s, and Ss,516, &C.. with others
Of 60,234 90 ,633, and 1861. Some are nearly
two hundred miles long; some zig.zag in ALI di'
rections, as the interests of 'the party and not
the convenience Of the People dictated The
Counties of Ohio ere usually small that there
was no pretext whatever for such inequalities or
contortions B ut there not even pretence
of decency or fairness in the business, For exam
pie, a Wing moved to subtract Scioto County from
District XVI. and add it to District Xl. whereby
the population of each Of the Districts would be
brought much nearer the Ratio; but this would
have made XI. pretty certainly Wing, so it was
promptly rejected by party vote! So of every
effort of the Wings to render the bill loss outrage
ous They were haughtily told that they must
take the medicine it was made up for them,
whether they liked i; rnot. From this dishonest
despotism they appealed to the peaceful, ready ar
bi,rament of the Peoples votes, and in so doing
have earned the thanks of every true Republican.
