This will no doubt put an end to the

both branches OF the Legislature for once,
through alliance with the liquor-SelerS. they
mean to fastcn upon the people such a division
Of districts that future Legislatures Will be
surely Democratic. so that a similar apportion-
mcnt for Congress may be made alter the next

that these candidates are satisfactory 10 the

difficulty will be found with the proposed

voted for no license find that the intent Of the

they may vote in the coun.ic, after a manner
