alierable right, in terms and being 80 fixed

there really in your objection TO the inequai-

We Offset this fact 20 the Republicans
assumption. Again the alledged inequali-
ty Of the ole system of town representation
is nothing comparable with the inequality
of the proposed county system, with piuruii-
~ elections. The one certainly requires a
representation of majority Of the people in
the townsville other requires no majority at
ALL We suggest that point for the d-Asaee
Of the good old fathers against their degen-
crate children
Next the Republican argues through half
a column or more to show that we are mis-
taken-lhai The people are to be represented,
and not The iotcns We do not see the force
of the argument, nor its relevancy to the
question; hence we are quite willing to ac-
commodate tho Republican rs far as we can
consistently with the constitution. That
document settles the rights, both of the peo-
pie and The toons We quote the first and
last clause Of section seven:
In order That The Geem-u Of this sirie
might enjoy the benefit OF election as eguaHy
rs may be, ~" EACH INHABITED TOWN man. M
like manner, hold such election, and choose
one Representatives, Joreusr thereafter"
Here is the constitutional rule OF reprssen-
iaijon fixed by our fathers, Jorerg; and the
Republican may call It representation BIZ
ioicns, or By The people, just as 1t pieases.-
We call it town representation but we hold
at the same time that 1t more truly represents
The people than will the proposed county rep
resentaton on mere plurality vote. r his,
however, has lIttle 20 do with our objection
to the power Of the council to abrogate tins
Constitutional right of representation, ua6om
The consent Of the toions, or the people. We
certainly would submit to a change, if it
were to be made with their consent express
ed either IN a convention Of delegates in the
old constitutional mode, or by a direct ma
jorlty vote of the people of the State. Our
point was and is, that the Council Of Censors
had no power to abrogate the right Without
This consent in one of these two modes; and
we let that proposition stand on the Consists
tuition itself The Republican has not even
touched our point.
