Representation.

The Egis Of Wednesday has an article, the OBJ
ect Of which is, to show that the present system of
representation, as between Boston and the
try is just and equal, Or that, if either is the
sufferer it is Boston. Forlhis purpose, it states the
number Of enrolled votes in Worcester county and
lows:
Worcester daily spy., 1851-10-18

Votes in Worcester county, 25,4SS
it saws that on this basis, Boston had one repe-
rentatve last year for every ASS voters, having "A
Representatives, while Worcester county, with fifty
nine representatives, had for every 404 voters.
Thus the Egis contends, that the basis Of voters,
Boston, in the choice Of every representative TO
which she was entitled, as compared with Worces-
ter county, had eiglay tom of her voters disfran-
chised.
This isa very plousbe statement, but it does not
present hardly the semblance Of truth, to the pac
tical operation of our present system Of representa-
ton.
In the irstpace, with her vast unnaturalized for
eign population, of thirty to fifty thousand, it
Is impos<ble that she should have SO large proper
ton OF voters, as compared with Worcester
tv, as is indicated above. Every one, who knows
any thing about it, knows that city registrations al
ways show M aca larger number Of voters than they
actually have. The register is made from the list
Of the proceeding year. by the addition Of the names
Of the new corners but, in the mean time thousands
have changed their residence, and lost the right Of
voting in the city without ils coming to the know"
edge Of the officers. But in the smal towns, such
changes are generally known, and their registration
shows, very nearly, the number oi voters and
1t will be found in contested elections, that the num-
Der of votes actually cast will very nearly correspond
with the registration in the country, while in Boston
it will fall very far short thus, last year, Worces-
ter county, with ,5s3 voters registered, gave 49,
1885, while Boston, with 2l 493 registered, gave on
" 8 1878 votes. The number Of votes actually CIV
en-, is, in fact a much nearer test of the relative
number Of persons actually entitled to vote, than The
registration list. No in his senses can possi-
bly, believe, that, under the excitement which at-
tended the election last year, than one half OF
the voters Of Boston stad away from the polls.
The Egis takes for its comparison, the represen-
tation Of the present year, which is the valuation
year, when every town, even those which are al
lowed but one other representative in ten years. has
the special right of representation. This surely
no fair basis for comparison, but rather i should
take the number which the towns are entitled for
every year. II the Kgia will look to the last APP
portionment it will Gnd that the number of repre-
sentaiives to which all the towns Of Worcester
county is entitled, for e,oy year, is only A, while
Worcester daily spy., 1851-10-18

boston, with Its thousands less voters on the regis
ation, and giving less than half the actual vote of
worcester county, has precisely the same number.
mere ls another point which the Constitution.
as 1T now stands, in its practical oneraton Owes
even greater advantage to Boston than in those al
ready examined. Boston elects all its representa-
uVes by general ticket and is therefore enabled to
seed all OF one party, who will act together in har-
moaious concert. The country, on the contrary,
etectIng nearly all its representatives, in single dis
ticts without any of action the towns being
politically opposed to each other, their representa-
ton is divided, and balanced as TO give them rel
alvely to Boston, but little weight Thus in all pc
hticai questions in the HoRse Boston counts abso-
iutely 44on one side, while the county OF Worcester
or Middesex, or Essex. ordinarily, will not count
half as much Suppose, for instance, that in Wor
cester county only twelve towns shall elect members
opposed to whatever party may be dominant in the
county, those twelve will exactly balance and aeu-
raiize twelve more ,making twenty fonr out of the
orty four, and leaving as the absolute vote Of the
county onlytwenty. Then Worcester county, with
weight in the legislature, that Boston would have
with her 9,eO0. Ordinarily, however, the operation
is stu more uniaYorabe than this the country, be-
cause parties are generally equally balanced
thar we have supposed in this case. Thus, last
winter, Middlesex had so representatives., Of whom

against Boston's tortyJow, although its population
is larger than that of Boston,and its than
twice as large. Bnt to all cavi, we will Heck-
on all the democrats together, with the Free Soflers,
and their upited numbers are 39
From which deduct the Wings 25
and it will leave Ii
as the absolute of this great county, against the
A Of Boston, leaving majority in favor Of Boston
of thirty The comparison with Essex and other
counties would give similar result. Can anything
show, more papaby, the unequal and unjust opera
ton of the present system ?
The Egis attempts TO show, that, on the basis Of
population, Worcester County has the advantage over
Boston the number of representatives But to do
this, it is obliged to reckon unnaturalized foreign
who are not recognized by the Constitution and
laws as citizens, who have right to vote, and
who, consequently, cannot be represented. They
ly can be represented, who have a voice in the
choice OF representatives. The very foundation of
government rests on this basis that the people
shall choose, Tor themselves, such persons as they
have confidence in, to represent their views in
the Legislature. To give Boston some dozen or
fifteen members of the House, because Of the pres
ence of certain population within its borders, and
then to give to another class of her population,
whose feelings, VIEWS principles, and purposes,
uncongeniaI and adverse 10 thers is gross perver-
sion Of the principles Of representative govern
ment without any good reason in its favor. To take
away that representation then, would but carry
the true principle Of our representative system, and
no one would hare any right to complain of it,
Most certainly the voters could not, because they
have their share Of representation without it, and
] the population on which it is based would not and
could not, because tits not their representation: they
have interest in it, and moreover, their interests
are opposed to it.
In the arrangement of our present system of rep
resenation, the Increased ratio Of the large towns,
for each representative after the first, was contem-
plated Offset for the loss of the fractions over
the number required for representative in the small
towns, and fof the advantage which the large towns
have in eiecting by joint ballot, and not in single
representative districtS and 1t worked with olerabe
fair ness so long we had homogeneous population
most of the males Of which were entitled to vote.-
But it never contemplated such a state of things as
has been produced within few years past, by the
great influx Of foreign population having no vote. 1t
rever contemplated cities with near one half of their
male population not citizens, entitled to a vote,
and yet representation allowed TO the city, based
upon them, the same as if they were citizens and
voters. 1t is the change of circumstances which
makes he change of the constitution necessary rath
than the injustice Of the original provision, as ap.
plicable to the circumstances then existing.

PERMANET PAsruREs.-We have often
advised the formation of permanent pas
lures, and will here suggest q very easy
method by which those who have worn
out old fields may convert any portion of
them: they may please, into these desra-
bic appendages to.a farm If there be no
fence around any such old field that may
be destined for permanent pasture, put
up one; then put on 8 or 10 bushels of
bone dust; break it up thoroughly; llar.
row itwell; sow on each acre 10 pounds
of clover seed. u bushels of red top,
bushel of orchard grass seed, pounds of
sweet scented vernal grass seed, and J a
bushel of Kentucky blue grass seed; then
sow a bushel of plaster to the acre, and
rolf or first harrow in lightly, and then
rool; keep the stock off the first season,
and spread so bushels Of lime, or 100
bushels of mari thereon, per acre, the sue
ceeding fall or winter; and q permanent
pasture will have beenformed. This will
relieve you from the disagreeable altema-
tive of forcing your cattle to the necessity
of subsisting IN the woods or on the roads,
and relieve you also, of the pain of being
frequently brought into collision with your
neighbors, on account of the depredations
of your stock. Your good example will
make those neighbors emulate It so that
in few years you will have just cause
to be proud of your provident care, in
marshalling them in the way they should
have gone years before; besides which,
your cattle and other stock will be kept
in better plight, and as a consequence,
yield you more proit-Am. Farmer.
