Every dolegato !o the (ieorjjin Conven
tion assented, fit least tacitly, to the prop
osition that the number of members of
tho Legislature is entirely too larg** nnd
ought to be greatly reduced. Not n voice
was raised in <1 donee of the numerous and
unwieldy House of Representatives. Hut
when it came to the perfection of some
just plan of reduction, *.n agreement was
found to bo wholly impracticable. The
difficulty arose from the great increase of
tho number of A null counties and the te
nacity with vhif It every county dung to
its separate representative. Tho Commit
tee of lb, seeing this difficulty, refrained
from reporting any scheme of reduction,
and retained ir.Choir draft of the Consti
tution the pre i it t-> stem of representa
tion. Hut th.. 'fenlimont of tho Conven
tion was strongly in favor of reduction,
though the purpo * of attaining it was an
indefinite on.*, and the committee was in
structed to report -omo plan by v; fill'll it
could bo attained. Tho report gave

pressed to si trial of strength between tin*
larger and smaller countins, A proposi
tion so unjust to the larger counties, and
which w•»• 11 • I only reduce liie number of
representatives thirty-seven in all, could
not of course bn accepted, and it was
thought 1 by tho real friends of reduc
tion to let the whole subject rest. A re

fate for the ii j i I i ol taking reprosontft*
lives from those few counties whose re I a- I
tivostrenglh ought t<> he increased, rather
than dimini-hcil.
AVc write out from our notes, am! pub-
lish below, Mr. Jenkins’ remarks on tho
reduction scheme when the proposition to !
give each ceunly one represtmlativn was I
pending ami likely to puss. It preceded i
his motion to lay the whole reduction I
Scheme on the table, which prevailed :
Mn. -li'NKr.s -TJ»u principle upon
which we sturl -d P a State, and tho prin- >
ciplo guiding nearly all the Slates of the I
Union, and tho Gi vi rnment of tho Uni- :
ted States, is tlii- ■. Territories, irrespei t j
ivoof pizo or population, are represented !
in tho Senate ns'Territories. In Congress, i
this principle is applied t»» Slates in the I
States, to co,inthBut reprc.-ciilatioii in
the House of Kept c.-i'nluli vc i • based upon j
population ami luxation. That was tin*
representative pr.neiplo upon which we
started. There have, since then, been
aovoral reductions of the number of mem
bers of the Home of Representatives, hut
the mania lor new counties has multiplied
them, and as you multiply counties you
increase tlm number of members of the
Homo cf Representative*. Kvory one
of tho«o reduction , up to this time, lias
involved a departure from the principle
upon which we started all at tho expense
of the moie populous counties. Counties
that once bad three have been reduced to
two, or oven to one niemhor. There has,
in the meantime, been no scaling of the
counties that lmd only one representative;
but much of tho trrritori/ formerly rep
resented by ono itiomber now has two, be
cause ot the divisions of counties. Tho
result of all these reductions 1ms been a
departure from the correct principle. The
very recommendation of Hie committee,
reported uudt .• instructions, presents nn
additional departure. These larger coun
ties, now having two representatives each,
will have but one. By throwing two
counties with a small population into one
representative «iistrict, those two counties
lose one representative.
The great principle ought to bo tolaln-
cd, if possible. The committee, in report-
ing this plan, had como to the conclusion
to make a further concession on the part
of tho larger counties. But they ought
not to be called upon to surrender tho
principle entirely, hs tho amendment pro
poses. Ho favored reduction, if it could
bo dono fairly. But this proposition will
bo more unfair to the largo counties than
any plan of 1 eduction could he to tho
small counties. We ought to adhere to
something like fairings and justvr; and
to ascertain what is fairness and justice,
he knew no better ruin than to adhere to
principle. If the reduction is made on
tho plan reported, and the Legislature re
fuses to make mere n \v counties, we
shall haven body very convenient in size
and representing to a fair dagroo the poo.
pie of the Slate. But no would not con.
sent, unless overwhelmed by numbers, to
Eubmit to any further concession of prin
ciple. He had known tho difficulties in
the way. and a time was limited, he had
been disposed t » pass this whole matter
OVOI i t tl uitnilt w < . by the
advocatos of reduction, ami when the
committee were instructed to adjust tho
plan they agreed upon tho one reported.
But it would he loo far a departure from
tho principle i f according representation
to population, to give each county one
representative without regard to numbers.

You have, in the kindness and indul
gence of your hearts, tendered to mo your
unanimous thanks for the manner in which
1 have discharged the duties devolved up
on in" as your presiding officer. It is
grateful to my feelings, gentlemen, to
havo received this evidence of your ap
probation. When 1 assumed the duties
a .'.signed me, 1 promised you that I would
do tho very hoM I could. I have redeem-
i-d that pledge with fidelity. My short
coming- nro before you, and for those 1
ask your indulgence. Jf I have erred it
has been unintentional, and 1 know I have
erred, and for these errors, 1 ask and
rave your pardon. If, in the discharge
l my duties, 1 have been so unfortunnte
s to appear unjust or harsh, or have in
flicted the Gigl/iost wound upon the fool
ing-* of a single member of this body, now,
iu this parting hour and in this presence.
1 humbly make the amt'tula'honorable.
\\ c havo had before us giavo and res
ponsible trusts. We have boon acting not
tor ourst-lvV-., hut for thoao who are to
come after us. Many of us will scarcely
live to see the fruits ot our labors. Homo
i here are in tho prime und vigor of life—
thiii will live to know whether we have
acted wisely or unwisely. Others of us
are already upon the verge id'that other
land whither nil are tending, and in which
all will render nn account tor the manner
in which they have performed their du
ties. ami our children will live to know
whether thoir fathers have been wise in
caring jor their interests, ami in placing
our civil and political institutions upon
such a tmsis as to render them permanent
and benign.
We havo performed tho labors assigned
us under very unusual circumstances anil
iu the midst of an extraordinary and por-
don.- crisis. We havo passed through a
bloody slrugglo with those with whom
we had been previously associated us fel
low-citizens, ws members of tho sumo
great republic, as descendants of the same
glorious ancestry, speaking the same lan
guage, v.'cishipping tho same God,* and
believing in the same revelation, llow
sad tin* event, that a bloody strife should
have exi-ted among a people so situated,
and looking back to the same scenes of
pride and glory which illuminated our
past history ! llow sadder still, to think,
that at tho end of such a contest, our
country — l mean that portion of it which
wo call tha South is prostrated, nil its
enterprises crippled, its pursuits disorgan
ized, its labor destroyed, its agriculture
rendered inefficient and unproductive, all
our permanent investments in the way ol
stock? and bonds rendered valueless—in a
word, coming out of such a strugglo with
the conviction which we must realize, in
reference to our.-elves, that wo are indeed
a poor people, thrown at a single leap,
from tho highest pinnacle of prosperity
down to the most abject and humiliating
circumstances of poverty and political
im potency !
These are the eirctnnslnncOB,gentlemen,
uniter which we have been discharging
tho duties assigned us by our constituents.
I refer to them, uot for tho purpose of re
viving in the breast of any ono bitter re-
membiancc* of tho past, nor yet for tho
purpose ot producing in your hearts*, or
in the minds of my countrymen any
where, an unmanly whining and simper
ing over our situation, while 1 fool it was
the necessary result of superiority of
mimher.-- and resource*. But, thank
l. d ’ our manhood remain 6 ! I Applause.]
I submit these tacts for another pur* I
pose, li is to remind ourselves that,
whilst we have thus been crippled in our
roourecs, paralyzed in our energies,
shrouded iu mounting ami sorrow, il i-
the duty of each of us, with courageous
manhood, to look the future iu the face,
audio hope on and hope ever. Some
thing ir- left. A kind l*rovidt»neo has
east our lot in the mid.-t of a land unpar
alleled in the richness of its soil and re
sources, and uiifturpasftod in the material
elements nece-sary for a great, prosper
ous, powerful and happy State. So far as
the development of resources is concern
ed, Gooigia is yet in her infancy. Inex
haustible mineral wealth sleeps in the
bosom of her gig-antic mountains; and
with the application of enterprise and of
energy, tue.-o rich material.- will, bo a-
burned, and under the .-kill of science and
ot art, and of indut-iry and energy, they
will bn compelled to contribute to the
elevation of i-ur people, to their enhance
mout iu prosperity, and their growth in
power.
It is true our labor system has been en
tirely deranged, disorganized, id most de
stroyed ; and vo are now to enter upon
the experiment whether or not the means
of labor which arc left to us, tho class of
people to which wo are to look in tho fu-
turo as our laboring class, can be organ
ized into efficient and trustworthy labor
ers. That may be done, or 1 hope il may
be done, if left to ouiselves. If 1 could
have the ear of Hie entire people Of tho
Fnitod Slates, and B 1 might be permit
ted, humble though 1 be, to utter an ad
monition, not by way of threat, but for
the purpObO of animating tl:
Ihni we should sen listle
ncs*. idbm Ihrifilc'-Miem exhibited by
them, and in some cates even insubordi
nation and a spirit «>i mutiny—not more,
however, than, under the cirouinstances,
reimmittblo men might have expected.
J speak this for a two fold purpose; first,
I" pay a just tribute to that unfortunate
clasHof our people, and ,-eeond, to roinind
ourselves of the .spirit which ought to ani
mal" us in our conduct towards them, and
in maintaining the relationship which
must nceet.-arily exist between us in the
future. Our cohduct fditydd ho kind, hu
mane, sabilary, magnanimou-, just. Tho
result of thi- will 1" the production of n
feeling of mutual confidence botwoon tho
two ran s.
The black nice mutt fool that the white
man in not hi • enemy—tliut lie is just and
magnanimous, am! that on the other hand

duties obligatory up. m them, and thus
enable b >lh to move ahmg harmoniously
in the pros"euii.»n of "iit< rpriaes, and per
haps sti«f ful.y in the promotion of
mutual interests.
Now, if wo cultivate thi- feeling, (and
any other f. ding would not comport with
our dul.es towards thorn, and thi- fooling
shall be embodied in a wise and well ad-
jtitled ciale of laws f.»r the* government of
