RICHMOND DAILY WING.
MONDAY MORNING. DEcgMnER IS. is.s.

Debate on the Resolutions Of the Massachusetts
Legislature, Proposing amendment Of the
Constitution, establishing The free basis Of Re
presentation
We call attention to this highly interesting de-
bate, which will be found in another column.
The remarks of Mr.. Beardsley arc worthy of
all attention, and cannot fail. we think, TO con-
vince any candid mind. He has taken precisely
the ground we should like to see adopted by the
House, on this subject. IL is the same contcndcd
for by our former representative, Mr.. Bolts, and
advocated warmly both in and out of the house.
by other distinguished Wings. Let all the petit
tons, say these gentlemen, be rcccivcd-lct them
be referred To n Select committee OF men, sup
posed To be most in favor of the object of the
prayer-and let them take the responsibility
Would they dare, under such circumstances, To
report in their favor! Would they take on them
selves the responsibility of violating the Consti.
tuition, and trampng ON the rights of the minori.
tvi Let no man believe such silly-such impro-
bable stuff. They would find the burden too hea-
w for their shoulders-thcy would throw it down
in disgust-and there would he an end. at once, to
all petitions on the subject of abolition.
The action of the majority, this subject, has,
IN our opinion, hitherto been most unwise. They
have allowed the abotionsts to obtain most inn
Portant advantages. by blending their claims with
the right of petition, guaranteed by the Constitu
ton. Had they pursued, at first, the course fol-
lowed in the Senate, there would long since have
been an end TO petitions of this nature.
We recommend Mr. Beardslcy's remarks 10 the
attention of all, Wing and Locofoco. 1t should
be borne in mind that he is no Whg,-,hat on the
contrary, he is a thorough out and out Van Buren,
mainland that, therefore, he is entitled to hear
ing from those who are wont 10 call every thing
from Wing, Wing lie.
