wings have always resisted this federal
principle-repudia.ing concentration of
power in one man or in one set Of men.
They go SO far in this particular as to
make the alteration of the G onsiituiion,
which gives the Veto or absolute power

Their acts show them to be democrats.
The loco focos profess to be demo-

The formation Of these Clubs, all

State Government.

The Bill to provide for the express
ion Of the people, relative to State
Government, has finally passed both
Houses. The Standard contains
sketch of the debate Oh the subject,
which we shall endeavor to publish in
our next. The main points that elicit
ed discussion were in relation to the
apportionment and the arne at which
the expression Of the people is to be
made.
The whole number Of delegates re-
quired by the bill is 70. This county
on the basis Of the last election returns,
is allowed eight members of the Con.
ven,ion. Mr. Grimes and others con-
tended that the returns were no correct
criterion; and they insisted on the pro.
priety of having the Census taken and
reported at the next Legislature, when
a fair and equitable apportionmenl
might be made. This would give the
new counties an opportunity of show
ing their full strength, which they, as
well as many other counties, could no,
do at the last election. Nctwilhstand
ing these reasonable objections, the ap.
portionment, as reported by the com.
mi,tee, was agreed to.
All the wings in the House, were
opposed to the time proposed by the
Committee. The Bill proposed thu
first Monday in April, as the time a
which the sense Of the people is to bs
taken on this important question. The
wings thought the notice was too brie
and that the general election on the frs
Monday in August would insure bet
ter turn out, especially as it woult
make no delay as to admission, If
