THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AT
THE NORTH. aa5!

The Republican party North isl
afraid of an inequality in represen-
tation, and for that reason is COM
mencing to complain, that New
York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and In
diana will have one delegate for
every 1851 Republicans, whilst
Texas, Georgia and Louisiana will
have one for every 250S votes cast
at the last Presidential election. 1t
has always been mooted that the
Republican party of the South, was
not conducted to suit the brethren
Of the same political faith in the
North, and the fact as above stated
seems to be realization of the as
sertion. For this reason the indie
pendent Republicans have issued a
circular, complaining against the
inequalitp of representation, and in
timating modes of corrections in
this particular. The great advan-
tage held by the Southern Repub-
licans in the National Convention,
is too much for the stalwarts in 9th
er parts Of the Union, who consider
that they have the exclusive right
to manipulate all patriotic bodies
in the interest of the party. How
the representation will finally adj
just itself is impossible to say. The
South could not very easily concede
any of its power, and the North
cannot afford to allow such a strength
to remain with the numerically
weaker portion. In regard to the
extensive suffrage South, one by
one. the boomerangs come back
and each weapon strikes the point
from whence it emanated. Very
soon it may be expected that there
will be strong feeling between
certain elements North and South
based upon principle, and laborine
in behalf of certain well defined anC
announced issues. When this vii
come to pass, representation in al
parties will adjust itself and thu
country will be better in conse
quence.- Exchange.
