R. that the Judiciary system adopted, was the
result of compromise of conflicting opinions,
and that the total population basis was carried
from what we believe was an honestly enter
timed belief bya large majority of the New
Orleans delegates, that, without taking that
basis, Neworleans, would be especially restricted
IN her representation in the House of Represen-
tatiyes." 1t states its decided opposition to the
total population basis, but would not for this
reason advise q rejection of the new Constitu-
tion. Il sensibly adds;
g Much has been secured which never proposed by
the Legislature and submitted to the people, by way
