ton. a,
Resolrei, That We deplore the circum'
stances which led to the opening and agita-
ton Of the question Of the location Of our
State capital, the manifest injustice done
by the party in power to the people oil
the Third District in its temporary re-
moyal to the city OF Wheeling, and that
we favor the submission OF the question
OF its permanent location by our next Leg
islature to u vote OF the people OF the
State.
ResOired, That we exceedingly depre-
cate tho unjust apportionment oil repre-
sentation made by the late Constitution
al Convention in giving the three coun-
ties OF Nicholas, Clay and Webster but
one delegate to the Legislature, and in al:
lowing seven counties in the state, OF
smaller population than Nicholas, one
delegate each, to.wit: The counties Of
IiImer, Hancock, Morgan, Pocahontas
Raleigh, Sumner and Writ, thus making
the representation OF one man in said
seven counties equal TO three In said
three counties, thereby violating the first
principle OF free government that every
citizen shall be entitled 10 equal repre-
sentation in the government in all appor
tionments," and we hereby respectful lily
demand OF our legislature just appor'
tionmcnt, that the people OF said three
counties may be represented in fairness
and equality. -.
