The apportionmeut that gives

nents Of the new constitution. This
terrible grievance is perhaps inexcs a
bic, and fit is TO be the issue on

how it come to exist. NuckoIls county
is found on the map on our southern
boundary between Jefferson on the
east, Webster on tho vest. and Clay
on the north. An the counties border
ing her or anywhere near her had .
sufficient population to entitle them to
. representative, but no surplus.
They we're given therefore indepeDd
ent representatives. Now. what was
to be done with Nuckolls? Il vas sae>
gested to set her of into Kansas, 70
district her with Madison county, 500
miles away, or to leave her out in the
cold entirely, but for manifold reasons
this vas not done. She had to have
. representative by herself or 90 with
ont representation We think that
the country will not 20 to ruin because
the former horn Of the dilemma vas
chosen BY the convention. But is it
not = rather small thing for the Oma.
