The services of the session have been very

often that we meet with so fine and well ap

THE ROTTEN BOROUGH SYsTEM.-A short
time since we published an instructive com

ough system" which is established by the con
stitution Of this State, resulting in the loss to
Portland of about one-half its just representa-
ton and to other large towns of proportion
of theirs. OF course the injustice increases
with every increase Of population. If Port
land should ever become as large as Boston il
would be entitled under the present constitu
ton to only seven representatives. The wan

As for the doubt he expresses in regard to the

And for his "nameless hireling" evasion Of

absurdity if he supposes that he escapes OBJ

an exhaustive mental effort he has given tc
