TO PHILADELpHIANS.


The liberal patronage we have received
from the business men of the city of Phil
adelphia. without their knowing TO what
extent they were rcmunerated, or whether
they received any thing in return for the
expense incurred. induces us at this time to
state few facts for their information and
benefit.
Our location is in the central part Of the
State, at the county seat of one of the
best counties in it. The surrounding coun-
ties are densely populated, and the county
towns inhabited by an energetic and thrifty
set of business men. Our citizens gener-
ally are permanently settled, and were our
eastern friends to travel through this Sec
ton and become acquainted with the inhab.
itants, see their style Of living, mode of
doing business, and the rich field they have
to operate upon, their establishment would
know no bounds, while they would feel
amused at the idea they before entertained
of the uncivlized west and "new coun-
tries" We are a native of the keystone
State, and for several years previous to
our coming west, were a resident of the city
of "brotherly love-" and speak but what we
thought, felt and saw. With such people
it is, the business man desires to become
acquainted-and our Philadelphia friends
have taken the proper steps to form an
acquaintance. Our Merchants visit the
east and north semi-yearly, and go gener.
ally directly to Philadelphia, or take that
city in their route, and any thing especially
directed to them from the business men Of
that city, and brought under their imme.
diate notice, cannot fail 10 prove advan;a.
geous.
Our paper being of the largest class
permanently establshed--regularly issued.
and furnished at low price-necessarily
falls into the hands of large portion Of
the people of the district in which we are
located, and no better course could be
adopted to furnish information TO the citi
zens Of this section. than by publishing il
through our columns.
Mr.. V. B. PALMER, N. w. corner Third
and Chestnut Streets, is our agent A copy

EQUAL REPRESENTATION.

The last missouri Herald has long
article on this subject, reviewing and CIV
ing its objections TO the various plans that
have been discussed. 1t processes to be in
favor of Equal Representation: that is,
busing representation on population, and
thinks the following is the best and only
way to arrange it. The plan is new TO us,
and at present, we are not prepared to
give an opinion on the subject. The Her.
aid says, after stating its objections TO the
various plans which have been discussed
"Our plan would be this: we would fix the
number Of representatives at one hundred. We
would take the population of the State by Con.
gressional townships. After getting the whole
population we would divide it by one hundred.
The quotent would be on the ratio. Suppose
the whole population 100000. This would
make the ratio 5000. Nearly the whole State
is laid of into congressional townships. The
balance will soon be, or else could be otherwise
divided. The lines are distinctly marked and
every man knows or can easily know in what
township he lives. After getting the ratio, we
would then begin in any corner Of the State,
say the southwest, and take the first township,
compaclly as possible, until we get the ratio, the
fraction only Of a township above or below ex.
cepted. In the same way we would proceed for
the second district and the third. Each OF these
should have one representative and the three one
Senator. And so we should proceed over the
balance OF the State. And being under the ne.
cessty, in any system, OF disregardng county
lines in some cases, we should place them sll
on an equality, and disregard county lines in all.
We would divide the whole State into districts,
and send one representative from each district.
We shall no! now undertake 10 enumerate all
the advantages resulting from such system, but
they are numerous. 1t is equal. 1t gives every
neighborhood a representative. 1t is purely a
representation Of the people. 1t neither repre-.
SCENTS wealth or territory, or county lines, but
represents human souls, and all Of them alike.
1t is the only plan which the people can pay for,
that will be equal. Such is our opinion, and
we have examined the subject long, and we
think well TOO. If we differ with many of our
friends on this subject, it is because in our excr
tons to find out plan Of equal representation
which would be practicable, we have been forced
TO differ with them from necessity. There is no
other plan. We are not welded to this, but we
have been driven TO it, to carry out principles
which are acknowledged to be correct II we
have made ourselves Ineligible, we ask for this
plan fair consideration. This plan is new;
but so is Morse's Magnetic Telegraph; and the
steam engine is not old. 1t would not be wise tc
repudiate them"

SLAVE CASE.

In the late slave case recently decided
by the Circuit Court of the United States
for the District of Indiana, Judge NJ.
Lean is represented TO have said, that if a
"slave escape from the State in which he is
held in slavery either by accident, consent
Of his master, or against that consent, he
is forever free"
This is an entire misrepresentation Of what
the Judge did say. He held that the con-
slltu.ion which requires luga,iye from la
Dor, TO be delivered up by any State 10
which he may have fed, from any other
State or claim Of the person TO whom that
labor is due, applies to Indiana the same as
any other State Of the Union, and on the
claim OF citizen OF any other State. We un-
derstand the opinion will be published. The
above remark was made in reference to
foreign and independent States moi having
any treaty stipuIations in regard to abscond,
ing slaves, who escape into State in which
slavery is moi sanctioned.-O. Statesman.
