tary were added. r..
The committee through their Chairman reported the TO-
Iowing resolutions: .
American liberty that taxation and representation should
together and that those who pay the taxes should cono
their imposition and appropriation g.
2i That what is Caledthe White or suffrage basis, 'o-
laes this principle and ii is emnenty anlrepublican sce
gives to u mere numerical majority in the West an also,
uc power over the interests and property OF the peope u
the East.
3D. THAT we consider what is commonly called the Mixed
bss or an appounmcn representation IN both oraIrhes
of the Legislature onehaf upon taxation and oneha on
white popuation as fair cTprGnSe
proDuson which gives her less power Than THIS Or "he
equivalent scheme.
h That the East claims only the power Of self prOcEn
AMI in our opinon she be efccuay securein tis
without permanent and ample majority IN at least ohr
branch OF the Legislatures that any other scheme Oh repre-
stntati0u would convert this commonwealth into
desootisn in which the West would have the hnesiafu
control in all questions in which her interests are adverse 10
those OF the East. .
5h That the pretended compromise reported by tic com
mittce of eight in Judgment complete surr'nue! VI
Eastern interests and is equally odous 10 u.s. whtteI we
regard s character or circumstances which attended lis
origin. -
h That we regard that and all kindred propositions as an
utter disfrancsenen OF the East and we would greatly pre-
fer an adjournment Of the Convention sine die ana tha we
are unwilling live under any government when euhef
Immediately or prospec;vey thus violates our rights OF
selgoyernInen by depving Of the power OF Offending
our own interests and property.
It'll That the faithful manner in which the represe1alves
from This District have reelected sentiments and repre-
sented our interests in the Convention commands our un
