The public are just being informed that an

Delaware tribune. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1867-1877, 1869-04-01

This IL will be seen gives the Eastern
Shore two more delegates than the rcsolu
tions now before the Legislature propose,
and Eastern Virginia one less, while it gives
to Delaware her just proportion Of 80 dele
gates instead Of 10 as is now proposed. The
justice of this allotment will be al once be
recognized by ALL
We have given the fair allotment to the
Counties OF Maryland and Virginia to show
how we arrived at our general results but it
Is, OF course, no part of the business of our
Legislature to assign to the counties outside
the State their proportionate representation.
1t can merely suggest the whole number,
claim its own fair share, and suggest the
number each of the other sections shall send
30 we hope it will amend the call so as 10
propose the election of 100 delegates; 80 o,
whom shall come from Delaware, 80 from
Maryland, and from Virginia.
We are aware of the fact that VIC have M,
included Wicomico county in our calcula-
tions but we have no data by which te cal
eulate what proportion of tile II delegates
assigned to Somerset and Worcester belong
to Wicomico which has been formed out Of
portions Of those counties within the last
Few years. Those locally Interested could
of course fix that.
In claiming that Delaware should lie fair
~ represented in the proposed convention it
- not SO much that she shall have her rights,
as 'nat the real sentiment of her people in
favor OF consolidation may have fair and
full expression.

IMMEDIATE ACTION WANTED.

we once more urge upon our Legislature
the proprIety of taking immediate action on
the resolutions in favor of Peninsulur Union
The ranting of few papers on the Western
Shore should have no weight, whio the sen
timental whining of few others on the
Eastern Shore in no wise represents the feel
ing OF the great majority of the Eastern
Shore people. The sneers Of some Of these
papers at what they call the attempt of little
delaware 10 swallow up a territory bigger
Than herself, are mere appeals to prejudice,
which cannot have much effect on sensible
people. If such appeals were to be effective
at all 1t would be here, for so far as there is
any swallowing up of one section by the
other It will be this State which is swallow
cd up, so that nothing will be left of her but
her name. There is, however, really no
swallowing up about it. There ia no such
thing as annexation contemplated, The
proposition is 10 make neao State, 10
be called by the old name Of Delaware,
which shall embrace within its limits the
whole territory Of the Peninsula.
The proposition is so reasonable in Itself.
and has received such earnest support from.
the people in all parts Of the Territory affect
ca by 1t, that it needs no argument in is
favor. The hue and cry about dividing Ma-
ryland is all buncomc. Maryland, as new
constituted, is already divided by the broai
waters of the Chesapeake, anaturaI division,
what we object to rs Il continuance of the
present arbitrary, unnatural and absurd d.
vision Of this Peninsula.
The pending resolutions do not commit
THIS SAFE To any action in favor Of ''consoli
dalion on any terms" they merely call an
Informal convention Of the friends of the
movement from Ill parts of the Peninsula to
consult as to the practcability of consoida-
tlon and to consider the terms on which II
| can be effected. The Legislature is likely to
have some time on its hands before the tax
bills are completed, let it then give some at
tention to this subject let the Senate act,
and either amcnd or pass the resolutions al.
ready passed by the House. We have al
ready suggested amendments, we should like
to see Incorporated in the call we further
suggest that if there be any suitable hall in
Seaiord it is more central point for tho
meeting than Dover. II our suggestions ate,
however, not needed, we hspc the resolu.
tons will pass at an carly day in their pres
cnt form.
