amount as large again as the amount Of the
stock. This IN my opinion IS wrong, az least
so far as internal Improvements are concern
ed Il was, however, considered by US, that
in nearly every part Of the State sufficient
charters had already been procured, which
for several years would keep works Of inter
nal Improvement in great activity, which
could IN no way be effected by the adoption
OF the Constitution and that by the time
that new charters for such purposes would
be required 70 any great extent, the COnsti-
tuition would be amended in that particular.
Such Is still my expectation and belief
The State Central Committee has assumed
a fact in respect to this article, which | think
is without foundation, that these stringent
provisions on corporations were got up and
passed for the benefit of HdnaltoR county;
that she has done this in order to make the
remainder of the State tributary to her
This would seem to be done to excite your
prejudices against the county of Hamilton,
or rather rs | believe, against the city of
Cincinnati. The Committee assume that
Hamilton county has obtained all the inter-
nal Improvements she desires. venture to
assert that at this moment that Hamilton
county wants more Of such improvements
than any other two counties in the State, and
it must be evident, that the city of Cincinna-
I ii is vitality interested in almost every i'm
lprovement of the kind in the State. That
4 ,ty is much more interested in the great
thoroughfares of the State, and many out of
Iit, than the particular counties trayersed by
them elsewhere,
1t would seem to be bad policy to stir up
such sectional jealousies at this time, as /
win presently show. Did the Committee
consider the last vote given on this as sep
aratc proposition by the Hamilton county
members?
\ We are naturally led to inquire, who are
those persons making this charge against
Hamilton county, Those persons whose
names are appended to the address had no
) authority as State Central Committee %
/, meddle with the subject; they were not APP
. pointed for any such purpose. Viewing
. them as mere citizen., they appear to be
, with few exceptions, residents Of Franklin
county, and the paper would seem to have
, come from the city of Columbus. We can
, not shut our eyes on the fact, that this mos
. beautiful and fourishing city has grown uF
, pretty much on the patronage of the State
: and that the citizens Of that place have by
means best known to themselves, induced
! the Legislature to commence and partly G.
: rect an immense State House, which in the
! end will cost the tax payers over one million
, Of dollars, Such a building was not required
for the use of the State, but it will great,
embcllsh the city. -,.....
J, 1t it true that the city Of Cincinnati, (no
t Hamilton county has an immense influence
/ over the whole State This influence tha
a great city has acquired by the industry o
$ her citizens and natural advantages, withou
4 that proportionatc aid that most other pla
: ces have enjoyed from Banking facilities
d With us, then. this attempt to prejudice u
), against the city Of Cincinnati should pas
9 unheeded.
i. As to the repeal clause, it only operates O,
c future legislation, and it will be remarked
i that all corporations must be created by gen
cral laws, and not by special acts. Tn
It General Assembly have always exercised
= the power of repealing general laws. Thi
u Very pFo'lstoh VIII piooaDig save all III
corporations from legislative interference
e and leave them to be dealt with by the Judi
: ciary.
V As to the Senatorial apportionment, it
o not as fair as it ought to have been; indec
Y in my opinion it ought not to have been al
; tempted by the Convention, What reaso
have veto expect any better one would hav
/ been obtained from the General Assembly
$, 1t would depend on the character Of that b.
!; dy, or possibly upon the success Of driving
q bargain with the free sollers, and froia pa.
1t experience we have reason to fear that til
l. wings would come off about third best.
S, No one can tell how much or little good,
party districting will do the party, but m
d experience is, that party injustice will n
B. more prosper, than injustice between ind
yiduaIs. a
l. Feeling confident then, that the new Con
l. stituton in most respects is quite superior t
i- the old one, and trusting, that as occasion
may demand, the new one will be amended
t to suit the real wanls of the people, will
o most cheerfully vote for its ratification, an,
V recommend all others to do the same.
