Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1856-07-03

But this is not all. At the adoption o
the Federal Constitution, there were three
of the old Thirteen States whose respective
populations did not reach the amount now
required for Kansas. These were Delaware
with population OF 5O,O96; Rhode land
with population of 64,659; and Georgia
with population of S2,54S. And ever
now, while speak, there are at least two
States, with Senators on this floor, which
according to the last census, do not contain
the population now required of Kansas.
refer to Delaware, with a population of 81,
635, and Florida, with population OF free.
men amounting only to 47,203. So much
for precedents of population.
But in sustaining this objection, it is moi
uncommon to depart from the strict rule OF
numerical precedent, by suggesting that the
population required in new State has al
ways been, in point of fac:, above the ex-
isting ratio of representation for a member
of the House of Representatives. But this
is not true; for at least one State, Florida
was admitted with population below this
ratio, which at the time was 7O,650. So
much, again, for precedents. But even il
this coincidence were complete, it would be
impossible to press it into binding prece-
dent. The rule seems reasonable, and, in
ordinary cases, would not be questioned: but
it cannot be drawn or implied from the Con-
stitutivn. Besides, this ratio is, in itself, i
sliding scale. At first, it was $4,000, and
thus continued till 1911, when it was put al
35 900. In 1922, it was 10000: in 1882, il
was 1880; in 1912, it was 7O,6SO; anC
now, it is SO, 12o. If any ratio is to be
made the foundation Of u binding rule, il
should be that which prevailed at the adoP-
ton of the Constitution, and which still
continued, when Kansas, as 4 part OF
Louisiana, was acquired from France, under
solemn stipulation that it should ''be incor-
porated INTO the Union of the United States
as soon as may be consistent with the prin-
cipes of the Federal Constitution" But
this whole objection is met by the memoir
al of the people of Florida; which, if good
for that State, is also good for Kansas, Here
is passage:
But the people of Florida respectfully ins st
that their right to be admitted into the federa
Union Us State Is not dependen; upon the iact u
their having population equal TO such rutio---
Their right 10 admS ion it Is conceived Is guar
antied by the express pledge IN the sixth arucie o
the treaty before quoted; and II any rule as 10 Tue

that in eXstence at the TIME oi the cesslohi Whlcl
was thirty y-velhousand. They submit however,tha
