For the Hisconsin IYerald.

LEX" has raised very serious doubt in
my mind, whether the present Legislature
can divide a county so that it viii stay di-
vided, if the Constitution be adopted; but
is 1t possible to frame a law for the division
of Grant county, providing that the sena-
torial and Assembly districts, shall still re-
rain, as constituted by the 18th Section Of
the 18th Article Of the Constitution
q.
I'VE answer; no. If the Constitution
makes Grant county one Senatorial district,
the Legislature cannot step in and make it
only half of Senatorial district. If the
Constitution says that Platteville and the
Head of Platte, and Muscoday, and Cen
treyille shall constitute one Assembly dis
trict in the county of Grant, the Legisla-
ture cannot step in and say, that the pre-
cincts Of platteville, Head of Platte, Cen
trevilIe and part of Fcnnimore, in the
county Of Platte, and the other part of
Fennimore precinct and Muscoday precinct,
in the county of Grant, shall constitute one
Assembly district. From which county
would the member elected from such an
Assembly district, be melnberi To which
county would the votes for the member of
Assembly elected by votes in both counties,
be returned' Where would the votes be
opened and the poll-books canvassed -
How could the Clerk Of the Board of Com
missioners of either county, certify TO the
election Of a member Of the Assembly, who
bad received part of his votes in another
county, BY what authority can the Legis-
lature, by dividing Fcnnimore precinct, as
il woud be divided BY the Plaueyille line of
division, create one new precinct aud that
too, without selecting in it, either officers of
election or a place of holding elections! for
it has no power to do either We would
stake our existence, on the soundness of the
position taken last week by LEx," in his
communication. The Legislature can no
more change the districts established by the
Constitution (if that instrument shall be
ratiied) than it can change the mode pro-
vided by the Constitution for the selection
of judges; or than ii can modify the Article
on Elective franchise, so as TO authorize
lunatics to vote and idiots to be sent to the
Legislature.

Rumors of Peace aud of an attempted

voked. he forwarded the Mexican PROPOSE

EXpectOrant.

DR.. David Jayne-Dear Sir: have used your
medicine, ESQ universally known by the name of
Jayne's Expectorant,) in my practice for a num-
her of years, and can most truly say, that | have
been more successful in the use of that as mild,
safe, and thorough Expectorant than of any which
have ever used. Ii is the best for the following
obvious reasons. 1t does not (if given in proper
doses,) occasion disagreeable nausea 1t does
not weaken the lungs and PROSTATE the system,
like most oiher EApectorants in common use, nor
does it abate the appetite of the patient like other
nauseatlng medicines, which have been used by
the faculty. In word, it is nearly or quite the
thing which has been sought for by many of the
faculty for ages gone by. e'h
