a heavy duty on these tumblers--ten cents a

districts, received, some twenty-five or thirty
years ago, when it was first put in practice by
the Locofocos of Massachusetts, the appellation
of Gerrymaadenag, from Elbridge Gerry, who
was Governor Of the State at the time, and APP
proved the bill The injustice Of this sort of le-
gislation was so apparent, and so outraged the
public feeling, at that time less benumbed by
similar acts than at present, that the party
which had resorted to il, and expected thereby
TO perpetuate its possession of power was, at the
next election, most signally rebuked by an over
wheming defeat.
What has been the course pursued by the
legisla ures of the States in which the v higs
had the control of both branches fair, hon.
est, and impartial district of the States so fair
and impartial, that not word of complaint was
heard from their opponents. In proof Of this,
we refer TO the States of Massachusetts, Connec.
lieut., New Jersey, and Kentucky,--we say no
thing of Tennessee inasmuch as each party had
control of one branch Of the legislature, and held
the other in check. And now we observe the
Legislature of Georgia, where the Wings are in
the majority, propose to district that State SO
that each district contains, as near as may be,
the same number of inhabitants namely the
first, 74,270 second, 1926; third, 1864
fourth, 7O,2l6; Gfh, 1928; sirth, 7l,73O;
scpenth, 7O,52l; eighth, 75,24S.
Whatever wrong, injustice, or outrage upon
the rights Of the people the Locofocos think pro-
per to commit, the Wings have too much regard
for those rights to follow their example, or TO
retaliate injury for injury. The difference be-
tween the two parties, as we remarked in the
outset is thus clearly and distinctly marked.
