We ask our readers just to look at the shape
and size of these Districts, they appear on the
Map of our CITY. See how much better the lower
District would have looked-how nearly regular
in shape it would have been-with the Sixth Ward
in the lower District as it ought to have been. In
stead of this, it hangs by one corner to the
Seventh, Tenth and Thirteenth; giving them
enormous excess of population. The smallest pop
ulaton is given to the District which is sertain to
fall behind the others in increase; and the up
per District which is certain to increase rapidly,
is piled an excess of 900! That District will
have twice as many inhabitants as the lower before
the ten years expire. Then see how the Eishth,
Ninth and Fourteenth are put together, in order TO
put the Fifteenth under weights
Those who like this Apportionment may say So
for our own part, we consider it liz every view the
most unfair ever made by any party in this State
1t is unjust to the Wigs it is grossly unequal and
inconvenient apart from all party considerations
Have we not given the evidence
