New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1846-04-24
Convention Delegates.

On the 22d OF A ril, only six days before the most
important Election held in this State for many years,
the Loco Foco majority oour Legislature has driven
through bill changing the Representation oftwelve
Counties of our State. including ST Lawrence and
Chautauque two of the most distant Counties in the
State.
One of these Counties has TO put candidate Oft Its
ticket and the other 10 put one on TO hold Conven-
lions for that purpose make nominations, print and
distribute ballots &c. &c, before the Election
There can be no doubt that this is a very wrong
act, done us it is in the face Of an express and
unanimous decision of the Supreme Court that the
Legislature has rightful power TO do any thing
of the sort.
The Counties cannot act deliberately under this
law bat the Loco-F ocos, who have prepared their
distant confederates for its passage, will reap most
unjust advantage from it. The following is the
The People Of The State Neto York represented in Senate
and assembly DO enact as fciiotcs

four OF whom might have defeated The bill. How
Messrs Hsxtun. Dorrance, Viele and Foster. whose
homes within twelve hours of the Capitol. can
justify their absence when il was notorious that
such vote would be taken, should very much
like TO know, and we think their constituents will
feel like interest in the matter. The ave Loco
Foco absentees were Me ssrs Grares Of Cortlap d
Hacks of Madison. Dean OF O,sego, Marks Of
Rockland and Chase OF Tiogs, of whom the three
irs,,nanned would have probably voted for To bill
at any rate against IL. Had the House been fall
we feel confident tina, It could no; have passed.
