Iron THE sPECTAToR1
THE BASIS QUESTION.

Mr. Edtor,-Our worthy Delegates, it seems,
are censured for voting against resolution to
make the white population basis Of ropIeson-
taton in the convention proposed for the amend
ment Of the Constitution of Virginia. 1t is hard
TO say how prejudice may affect this question, but
it may be well doubted whether, upon calm and
sober consideration of it, majority of the people
of Augusta would not approve that vote. Must
not the effect Of such basis be to place the dis
position o. property in the hands of others than
The owners? Would not its ultimate result be
heavy taxation, the burihen of which would be
thrown out of all proportion on Eastern Virginia
and the Valley? Would not the adoption of
such basis in this State furnish the Northern
abolitionists with powerful argument for the
adoption of a like basis of representation in the
General Government, which they ardently desire
and only need to enable them to crush the South
ern States! If these questions may be properly
answered In the affirmative, do not reason and
justice point to mixed basis, consisting of per-
sons and property, as the only fair and proper
one? These queries are thrown out for tina, calm
and deliberate consideration which it behooves
the people to give to subject so vastly import
ant as the change of their Constitution.
