When, a few years since, the Express
from time to time made complaint Of
the great inequality of State represcn.
tation in the u. S. Senate, it was treat.
ment Ly certain Radical journals Jas
both unjust and an Infringement upon
the Constitution; hut just now, we
read these same complaints made over
again in Republican papers in the
large States. The census ofIS7O shows
that eight Observation-Disclosures, New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, III
linois, Missouri, and Kentucky have
a majority OF all the people in the U. S.
These States have o population of
1920, 30, while all the rest of the
States and Territories have but 10, 270,.
lS6. These eight States also have Il
vast majority Of all the capital, wealth,
manufacturers, agriculture, trade, and
commerce OF the country, with CORE
spending general culture. Yet these
eight States have but 16 us. Senators,
while the rest have Sc, or three fourths
majority. 1t would he hard to defend
an inequality like this, but for the rca.
sons which first changed colonies into
States, and the old Conlcderacy into a
Constitutional Government. The in
justice is seen in the Senate in making
up the COMMITTEES, where the eight
lagest States count no more than the
smallest States, and where Florida and
Arkansps, Delaware and Rhode Island.

themselves. The Philadelphia North
American, which q few years since
would bave considered the discussion
ofthis subject 4 kind oftreason to the
Union, now says:
lin tue nature Of things, Il constitu
tional amendment is the only remedy.
But what Shall it be? Shall Senator's
be appointed to population, or shall
the great States be divided? We do
not at present feel prepared to take
ground. But here is the naked fact
that States containing u minority Of
the population, agriculture, manufac
lures, capital, wealth, and'commercc OF
the Republic, monopolize three. fourtl,s
OF the Senate, and control the entire
legislation Of the country. The origi
nal object has failed entirely. There
