ming with the first, and ascertain

is entitled to for the ensuing
five Legislatures. If they find district
containing less than Ts,69S population
the Constitution requires them to an

least number of inhabitants" Conse-
quently the Second will be attached to
the Fourth, the Fifth to the Sixth, the

teenth to the Seventeenth, the Eigh-
teerth to the Twentieth, the Twenty
fourth to the Twenty-sixth, the Twen-
ty-seventh to the Twenty-eighth, and
the twenth-ninth to the Thirty first,
making eight joint districts instead of
five, as at present. Each of these joint
districts. would be entitled to one SEN
ator in the next Senate. Thirteen
single districts will have one Senator
each in the next Senate, namely: The
Third, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth,
Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Thir-
teenth, Fifteenth Twenty first,
