These figures tell the tale. An inspection
Of them will show how Stephen instead Of
Abraham was elected. Cook County has pop
ulat'on enough for six House members and
two Senators, but only has four Of the former
aud one Of the latter; $4,000 inhabitants ef
Cook are disftanchised for legislative pur-
poses. Tho following Democratic districts
which elected eight members, contained fewer
inhabitants than Cork county which was
allowed hut four members, viz: the 9Th, llth,
az, oCth, c7th and 30tll. The 4slh district,
With only onerepreeentatiyes contained as many
people almost as the 4th and 18th, and lsth,
which have three members! The 49th with one
member has population within sma}l flac-
'iop, equal to the Egyptian sth, with two meru-
hrs. Andthe 36Lh r, til one member has gre4t-
er population than ether the oGlh OF 9Th, each
OF which has two members. The 43l and the
45th have each more rnreprete1ted inhabi-
tauts than is contained in almost any Of tho
Egyptian districts But it is needless to
specify further. The wide disparity is plainly
seen by comparing the districts in the Demo-
cratic and Republican lists.
Taat the reaeer may fully comprehend the
immense advantage possessed BY Douglas in
the population Of the districts, let us reqerse
the ratio Of representation, and suppose that
10000 inhabitants would hare been necessary
to elsct Democrat, and only Ii, 900 Repub-
lican, the result OF the election would hare
been ss follows: Douglas 30 House n1emb*ra
and 10 Senators, Lincoln 45 Of the former sod
Is Of the latter. But as We stated in the first
part Of this article, had The Democratic and
Republican districts been fairly constituted,
on the ratio Of l7,42l Inhabitants to Repre-
sentative, and e,aes to Senator, the districts
that went for Lincoln would hare elected 40
Representatives and IA Senators; and tho
districts that were carried for Douglas would
have elected IS Representatives and II sena-
tors, being precisely the reverse Of the de-
clared result, under the unequnl apportiou.
ment law Of the State.
At the time Of the election Of 1858, the
prcponderapoe Of population in the Republi-
can districts was still greater than was shown
by the census Of 1855.
