Trouble is anticipated at the commence
mun Of the present Congress. 1t will be
rccollected that Congress passed a law du-
ring the last session, declaring that the sc,e-
raj states shall choose their representatives
by the separate district system, leaving 10 ~
states to district themselves Several stat es
had chosen their repres cntatves before the
passage of this law, others refused to reco,-
nize the authority of Congress in this partic-
ular, and chose their representatives by what
mode they pleased. The question will arise,
whether the representatives chosen not in
accordance with the requirements of Con-
gress, shall bc,permittcd TO take their seats?
whether those states which have chosen to
set at naught and disregard in this particular
the authority Of Congress shall not be dis
franchsed? A serious and important gucs-
ton, as will readily be perceived. On the
one hand the power and authority of,thcge-
neral government; on the other hand, tho
power and sovereignty of the States.
What power the constitution may give to
Congress in this particulars, we are not pre-
pared TO say, but upon such a view Of the
matter as would suggest itself from the con-
dition of things, we should SKY that Congress
has no business TO interfere with ahc States
in this particular The necessity that exists
for Congress to fix the ratio Of representation
IS plain--the rights of the states, so lar as
their relative strength is concerned, can on
Ilv be secured in that way; but wherefore
they shall specify the modes by which tho
neople of the several states shall select their
representatives, is not so prn.
Congress hrs right to Judge of the quail
LITIGATION OF lis members, but this 'qualifica-
ton We suppose, very generally, relates to-
the majority of votes in the state or district
from which member comes; but 10 make a
members qualification depend upon his state

or reject him on thut ground, is an other mat
ter. OF what possible concern is it to the
