ate bill to divide the State into Legs
IstiVe districts. And Mr.. Hawkins has
introduced different bill in the House
for the same purpose. Mr.. KOche's bill
appOrliOns Brown and the adjoining coun-
ties az follows; /
To the counties ofCIermont andBrown,
one Senator and two Representatives; al
90, one additional representative in the
year one thousand eight hundred and
forty four.
To the counties of Warren and Clin-
ton, one Senator and OneRepres entative;
also, one additional representative TO be
elected in the years one thousand eight
hundred and forty four, and one thou-
sand eight hundred and forty six.
To the counties Of Adams, Highland
and FGyette, one senator aud two repreN
.SentatiVes.
This bill comes from a democratic
member, and is probably as just, on par.
~ considerations, as It can we'll be. No
effort is made 10 diSfranchiSe whig coun-
ties by attaching strong democratic coun-
ties. Clerm ont and Brown are strongly
dem ocraIic; and Warren and Clinton are
both as strongly whig. A concession is
however made in ythe Highland district
that will hardly be appreciated by whig
members like Mr.. Hawkins. The dis.
tTict 10 the same as under the old lnw,-
Adams, a democratic county, aud High
land doubtful one, are now repre- sented
BY wings in both branches. This may
be rsmidied bysmakng Representative
districts Of separate counties, where the
population is near enough 10 the proper
ratio to admit Of dong so. Mr.. HGw-
Ein's bill gives to the city Of Cincinnati
one Senator and two Representatives.
To the county Of Hamilton. one Sen
alOF and two Representatives.
To tho counties Of Butler andWarren
enc Senator and one representative, and
10 the two last named counties one repre-
sentative each.

HOsentatiVe.
70 the county ofBrOwn, one Repre-
sentative, and the two last named Coun-
Ties one Senator.
