We have not opposed the new constitution
on psrty grounds, but upon the numerous bad
and dangerous provisions Of general and
financial character which It contains. But the
secession paper Of this city asserts that the
apportionment article is perfectly fair to the
north half Of the State, and TO the Republican
party. We emphatically deny both asser-
tons, and brand them as destitute Of truth.
Draw line east and west through the center
OF the State, say on the line Of the Quincy and
treat Western railroad, and the counties north
OF that line contained, by the census of 1860,
over one million of Population, while those
south Of it contained but seven hundred
thousand. Yet the latter division is given
majority Of the Senate and House, for the OK
press purpose Of enabling Egypt to rule
Northern Illinois.

in which the State is apportioned each Of the
below counties is to have one representative

turpentine, and about three hundred barrels

turpentIne can be shipped in New Orleans for
about twelve dol1ars per barrel, while It sells
here for at least sixty, the military shipper is
likely to realize very handsome profit from
the adventure.

heleB q Pupulat1oh OF ab0ut Ib4,U divided
into seven representative districts. Nowlook
at the following Egyptian counties:
POPULATION.


Here are less than 1Sl, 900 people divided
into te7a districts. In a northern district it
requires nearly twice as many people to elect
representative as In a southern district. The
reason for this discrimination must be, that
the people Of this end Of the State are
benighted, Ignorant class Of beings, and only
halfequa1 to educated, refined, and enlightened
Egypt. What else can be the reasone
The State is divided into into three Supreme
court districts. The Northern district
contains as great population as both the
southern disctricts. The counties that gave
amajority for Lincoln, contain population
Of 940.234. and the counties that gave ms
joEity against him contain inhabi-
tants. The Republican counties, therefore,
contain 1 6s , ,40s majority Of the population.
Now sec how fair and equitable the apportlon-
ment has been made:
The number Of people for q Senator under
the new constitution Is 61,S68, and for q
Representative 16,78O. This would give the
Republican counties s Senators aud SO Rep
resentatiyes, and this by fair apportionment
they are entitled to, but the Springfield seces.
sionists were total strangers to sense of JUS
ttce or decency, therefore It was that thew re-
versed the rule Of right, and themselves
take 10 Senators and 81 Of the Representa-
tiyes, when upon fair representation they are
only entitled to s Scnatora and 40 Repre-
sentatiyes, thus taking Senators and l Rep

This rascalfty Is effected In this way: In the

Letter From Col. OInev.

". Selden Gale, one of the voting Commis-
sioners, sends Us q long communication in re-
ply to the letter Of Surgeon James a. Putmire
OF the 9Th Illinois cavalry, which described the
way in which the commissioners took the vote
Of the soldiers st Paducah. We give below
the letter Of Col. Olney in regard to the mat
ter, which contradicts in some particulars the
statement Of Surgeon Putmire. The residue
OF the communication is imulAterial, and is

upon our space.

Hon. #. s. GALE, s1R:-Yours of the oGth
TRIBUNE OF May 23dffs received. You ask
me If think you are fairly represented in

Yourself and fellow commissioner {whose
name I do not nov recolIect) came to our
camp and proposed commencing taking the
the following Monday, that being Saturday.
Many OF our men were out scouting, who
we're expected back on Monday: and on re-
quest OF Gel Grierson and myself, you agreed
70 commence taking the vote Of our men

continued as long as there were voters. On
the neSt day you came again, and remained as
long as there were men Wishing to vote.
AHday tuesday was close by you. You
were strangers to me. knew you would not
hare been sent to take the vote If you had been
against the constitution, and therefore I
watched you closely to sec that you took no
unfair advantage.
saw nothing to complain Of. Your way of
putting questions, and the explanations YOU
made in answer to questions asked by the
men Vas fair.
We detained you by not allowing YOU TO
commence taking the vote when YOU were
ready to do so. And then after spending one
day with us. you returned On the next and
took al votes offered, and only left when in
formed there were no more votes to take, I
know that you were delayed by the I'd cavalry.
We had about fifty men in the hospital Who
were entitled to vote aud whose votes you aid
not take.
am entirely confident that your failure to
take the votes at the hospital was not because
Of the way OUT men voted. It is far-fetched
to attribute such 3 motive, after you had tried
Tor three consecutive days to get the votes Of
our men, and when your general course mani
Tested the greatest fairness.
As you know, lam bitterly opposed to the
new constitution, but justice requires me to
say that those articles in the Tribune, to
Ehich you have called my attention, are IN
just. Respectfully, JoHs OLxET,

The editorial articles are ably malignant; the

our Senator Trumbul1 is spoken Of as " a man

their husbands bad not received their pay for

At Their Dirty Work Again.
The 6ecesEionists Of the Fernando Wood
ttripe are at their dirty work again in New
York. Almost daily, insidious advertisements,
intended to produce disturbances among me-
chanics and working men generally, appear in
the morning papers. The motive Of these
advertisements is different from what would
appear at first view. They are intended by
their authors, not for effect in that city, but
to give the impression to people abroad that
these classes are getting poor and desperate,
and that revolution is impending, which, in
the 1aDguage-o of one Of these advertisements,
"threatens to unsettle the very foundations
OF government and society,"" The Journal Of
Commerce, in speaking Of these nefarious de-
signs of rebel sympathisers, says it is the re-
mark Of all that no winter has ever passed
when there was less apparent suffering than
the last, and that the weekly lists now re-
ported at the Aims House are much less than
ever before,
