o JOHN II. It! AUTIN COLUMBUS : Sunday Morning, Nov. 12, 1865. Wily Hfcliiftloii I'ailril. 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.

A re duction . »in iesiilicant r,»u!d not romperr 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.

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.
