The Whig party Of Virginia urging in this campaign
very novel, very grave and very naive not TO say
silly complaint against Democracy. is, that although
counting some sixty in the State they
not allowed by Congressional apportonment, the Ger
ainy of elecng single representative to Congress-
They plead the Declaration of Independence the Bill
Rights Mugna Charter the Mosaic Decaogue the book
Genesis together with sundy other venerable documents
against this lyranncs disfranchisement they call it,
They claim that they pay which extremely probable
and ask-does taxation confer right to representation
In representative governments, have not all right to b.
heard by delegation in representative assemblies Have no
sixty thousand intelligent refined, decent wealthy (he!
claim to pay yearly all axes) people such they are
right to The poor privilege Of sending delegate or Two
Concess These all very pertinent enquiries If he
are at the time very drol from the circumstance
under which they urged They apply as pertinent
~ on tho Wing side of the question in the State at large
as similar enquiries would apply in the Richmond city can
