The above list of voters is taken from the
Presidential election of 1860, being the year
when the census was taken on which the ap-
portionment was based. 1t will be seen that
TWO VOTES in Massachusetts have as much in
fuence as THREE in Illinois and FOUR in Kan
sas; that ONE vote in Vermont Is equal to
TWO in Illinois and THREE in California. and
that it takes only NINE votes in Rhode L.
land to equal TWENTY-FIVE in the Sucker
State.
These glaring inequalities would all have
been reotifed by basing representation on vo-
tiers as was proposed IN congress, but this
proposition the radicals quickly disposed of,
because the inequalities are all in favor of
New England.
The radicals try hard to make people be-
lieve that the effect of their proposed consti-
tusional amendment will be to apportion rep
resentatives according to voters, but this is
not true. The words of the proposeaeamend
ment are that Representatives shall be ap-
portion among the several states according to
their respective numbers )" not roters, but
| numbers !; that is, population.
1t is true that the amendment goes on and
| makes exceptions, but these do not change
the general provision which bases represen-
tstion on population. The exceptions mere
| " deprive states excluding negroes from the
polls of the benefit of large portion of their
alien and negro population, and do not other
wise change the present principle of repre-
sentation.
To give some show of reason for the pro-
posed I'M Justice to some of the states, the sup
porters of the amendment assert that the
slaves now being free and counting equally
with the whites, the representative allowed
the south, under the constitution as it stands,
will be out of all proportion to the number Of
the actual voters. The Chicago Tribune goes
go far rs to say that the south will gain and
the north lose % votes, making a relative
loss to the latter of forty-six votes.
Ther6will be no loss or gain to either
north or south until after the census of 1870
is taken and the apportionmeat is made by
the succeei ling congress which would Garry j,
past lS73-no change whatever, if the south.
ern representatives were now admitted can
take place until after 1873. The change
which would take place then Is not correct
ly stated by the Tribune. Let us see what it
really would be,
In the apportionment of 1860, one repre-.
sentative was given to every 124, 1873 of popu-
iatlon. Dividing the population, then,
each southern state by that number would
give the number of its representatives on the
existing basis, with slavery abolished, the
following is the result:

The above are the northern states. Look
the table over carefully, and you will see
where the loss and gain falls. If voters were
the basis instead OF population, as now, or
instead of the proposed new amendment,
New England would lose four representa-
tives, while on the amendment proposed she
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wis
consln, by this amendment, in effect lose seq
en- representatives they would have other
wise gained, making difference of thirteen
against the west in favor of New England. =
This would not suit the radicals, who want
to keep the west down, and keep power in
New England.
! NOW look at the southern states:

The above calculation is made on the total
vote for President in 1860, which was 4, $780,
1913 estimating South Carolina at 5o,000),
thus giving fraction over 5000 to repre-.
sentative, under the rule of the act of May
%, 1850 to divide by 233, and assign addi-
tional members TO the largest fraction, so as
to make the whole number 242, as at present
