To give you a clearer conception of this act, and for the purpose of explaining the molety feature, I insert here an ab- | stract of thesame: “From and after March 3d, 1853, the House of Representatives shall be composed of 233 members, to be apportioned among the several States in the manner following— “So soon as the next and each subsequent enumeration of the inhabitants of the several States, directed by the Constitution of the | United States, to be taken, shall be completed, it shall be the duty of the Secretary of the Interior to divide the aggregate population, by the number 233, and the product of such division, rejecting any frac- tion of & unit, which to happens Democra ~Herald. | Temain; shall be the ratio or rule of < e Mula e DEah. . | noctimmant of Tepresentatives Why not invite them to joln the | < among the several States under such the Democratic party and thus save | enumeration; gnd he shall then all the trouble and expense inci- | proceed i the same manuer (o as- o representative popula- B st e Sachs, Btato hy fho Tfloal. e ready determined by him; and the product of this division shall be the number of representatives appor- tioned to such State under the then last_enumeration. Provided, That the loss in the number of members caused by the fractions remaining in the several ar the division of the population thereof, shall be compensated for by to so | many States having the t frace tion, one additional member each for its fraction, as may be necessary to make the whole number of Rep- resentatives 233. And provided also, that, if after the apportionment of the representatives under the next, or any subsequent census, 8 new State, or States, shall be admitted into the Union; the representative or representatives, assigned to suc new State, or States, shall be in ad- dition to the number of representa- tives herein above limited; which excess of representatives over 233 shall only continue until the next succeeding apportionment under the next census.” The following table gives the number of Representatives to each State, and the ratio of apportion- ment for each succeeding decade thus established several of the east- ern and New England states would | lose a member in their reprosenta- tion. Mo & supplemental bill was passed, inoreasing the number of members again from 253 to 202, and giving the States of New Hamp~ shire, Vermont, New York, Penn- sylvania, Indiana, Tennessee, Louis- fana, Alabama and Florida, each an additional member. The State of Vermont under these eiroumstances coming in with an additional member with a frac- tion of 55,450, and Florida with a fraction of 36,323 both of which having less than a moiety. Here was legislation manifestly arbitrary in its character, and Senator Conk- lin, of New York, who opposed the bill, though New York thereby secured an additional member, made in the course of his argument the following pertinent remarks: “We apportioned representation accord- ingto the judgment of two houses | of Congress. At once several States, among them several States that come here now, were dissatisfied; and thereupon by special enactment, by arbitrary provision in derraga- tion of the act, we turn around and add these Tepresenta- | tives.” Senator Hitcheock at _this time endeavored to have the State of Nebraska added to the list for increased representation; and by the Congressional Reports I find, submitted several amendments to the bill, which would tend to ad- vance the probabilities of securing such addjtional member, at this session, if Nebraska had made the effort. All, however, were prompt- ly voted down, Tapprehend that the facts as shown in this communication, will satisfy the reader, that Congress has su- preme control, and discretionary power, as to the time; and under what conditions an additional rep- resentative may be admitted. The only question” now remains, will Nebraska make the attempt? Of one thing we may rest assured, de- termined opposition will be en- countered from the Eastern and Middle States, to any additional representative from the West. On the other hand, the power, and dominant ascendancy which charac- terizes the Eastern representatives in all legislation, is slipping from their grasp, and centering in the growing influence of the West.
