We are fnlty warranted In saying that the effort
Of the Democracy 10 change a few OF tho Legislative
districts Is not dictatcd BY desire 10 make the
law moro equitable In its operation, Int simply by
tho desire 10 mold the next General Assembly to
tho purpose Of c'ccting Democratic United States
Senator, THIS purpose cannot be concealed Or
dtAsufsed by nny fcttEous display Of sistuc, Or by
any Isolated instance Of imperfect local representa-
tion picked hero and there throughout The State.
The journal proceeds to give tho result Of
the legislative apportionment in many States,
anil shows TINT, wherever tie Democrats llnvo
control, they go1rymandar In tho unfairest
manner. It might hnye added to It's intlict-
mcnt, by inducing tho Congressional mp
rortionmonts In Virginin, North Carolina, and
Mississippi. In these Statos tho Democrats
grouped together the great bnlk of tho Ro-
publican strength into one district In each

CRITIC majoritics. We print the Journals
