SINGLE DIsrHIcTs.-On Saturday, last,
Mr.. BRAKEMAN, the Wing member from
Hamilton county, offered resolution in.
s,rucling the Judiciary committee 10 report
an amendment 10 the Constitution providing
for the election Of State Senators and Rep.
reseniatives in single disiricts. 1t was re.
ferred TO The Judiciary committee.
If there was ever just, righteous and
republican proposition, submiled for the
consideration Of legislative body, i, is that
now offered by Mr.. BRAKEMAN. The meres,
party considerations alone prevented il from
being par Of the New Constitution. The
: time will come when the politicians will be
compelled 10 face This question. The people
; will know who &C, from principle and who
from mere party views. We hope Mr.
BRAKEMAN will be able 10 get vote on this
proposition. We want TO see how The dem
agogues, who pretend such love for equa
rights, and The dear people will vote. W.
: venture the assertion, that if this reform
was submitted 10 the people, they woulc
!, adopt ii BY al least as large a majority al
they gave for The New Constitution. Dare
