wit Dooly, and Jasper, the former with a
filiation of 771 inhabitants, and the latter with
flulation of 16,921, and say, that because
Dooly County has one representative, Jasper
hould have as many Representatives as the
lumber of times that 771 are contained in 16,-
<£l i. e. 21, a State House as large as the
Town of Milledgeville, would be required to
accommodate the Legislature. How fallacious,
then is such a view of the subject of vepresen
tation! How impossible would it be to form,
on such a plan, a Legislature of convenient and
economical proportions! I Were we to adopt
an average ratio, without regard to the popula
tion of the different counties, and fix it at the
ratio of one Representative to 5,000 Represen
tative inhabitants, in many parts of the State.
Representative Districts would of necessity have
tube formed. This ratio would give us—our
representative population being 365,349,-73
Representatives. Os that sum of Representa
tive population, 39 counties contain 269.276-
while 37 counties contain only 96,073. The 119
' populous counties all lie North, and the 37 sparse
counties all he South, of the 33d degree North
’ Latitude. On live ratio stated, the relative rep
resentation of those two classes of counties,
{ would be nearly 3to I—that is, the 39 counties
have 54 Representatives, and the 37
only 19. On a general ratio of one Rep
resentative to 3,000 Representative inhabitants—
which would give 181 Representatives—the o 9
counties would have 89, and the 37 counties, 32
their numerical representation continuing rela
tively the same, i. e. nearly 3, to 1. Many of the
counties contain only 1,8, 3, or 4,0 >6 representa
tive inhabitants. The apportionment of Rcpre
sen-tativesupon either ofthe ratiosnamed, or on
any general and average ratio, would throw
together, into a Representative District, 2,3,
or more counties—while many other counties
would alone have 2, or more Representa
tives. Senatorial Districts, formed upon the
same principle, would terminate in the same
result, and fix an absolute power in a part of
the State, less than one half. Having been ac
customed to a county representation, we are
convinced, that to succeed in effecting a Reduc
tion of the House, wo must accommodate the
plan, as far as possible, to old political habits
and feelings, and beware of provoking old pre
judices to revolt against o system of entire no
velties.
Now, the apportionment of representative
upon a general ratio, uniform throughout the
State, would result in fixing all political pow
er in one part of the State, and leave the other,
and larger part, dependent on the former. And
this concentration of political power in one part
Os the State, would be impregnably fortified by
epportioning the Senators upon a like general
ratio, uniform throughout <lio State, Were such
8 general ratio practicable, in the present politi
cal circumstances of the country’, would it not
entirely obliterate the corporate existence of
counties? Wo think, though we may greatly
orr, that the equitable adjustment of power be
tween the thinly and thickly settled districts of
the State, has been suggested in the Considcra.
buns, md Principles, prefixed to our Scheme of
Senatorial Districts. And wo are, moreover,
cf opinion, that the allotment of one Represen
tative, at least, to each county, will riot, and
puglit not, to bo abandoned. But it will bo un
necessary to give to each county, as at present,
two Representatives—we mean, one Senator
mid one Representative. Senatorial Districts
jtctiic remedy for the overgrown representa
tion which now obtains in the Senate, for it
Weald destroy the indiscriminate allotment of
one Senator to cadi county. Hence, the Le
gislative expenses of e«£h, would ho lessened,
in some a half, in others a third, fourth, or fifth;
and the aggregate of these retrenchments would
bo considerable. Abolishing, thus, the provision
by which each county has hitherto been entitled
to one Senator, we would give to each county,
one Representative, at least, but to none would
we give more titan two. We would make this
apportionment of Representatives upon the
Principle, “that the ratio between the Repre
sentatives and the people, ought not to be the
same, where the latter are r cry numerous, as
"here they arc rery few." If a county is to be
at all, it must have one Represents
kee, at least. Giving, then, one representative
to each county, wc should have, in the aggregate.

On this plan of remodelling the representation,
’ our principle would be pursued, and the Legis
lature, at its first session, would contain 86
members, the S 9 populous counties having a
t majority oflO. Would this majority of ten, in
the Northern and populous Division of the State,
e be an efficient majority to begin with? Wo think
_ it would. For, suppose tho representation re
u modelled as is above proposed! At the first
e session of tho Legislature, the up-country, or
r populous region of tho State, would have a
3 majority of 10 members, over the southern or
j. sparsely peopled region. Tho former would
. contain six counties, which would, in 2,3, or
i) j 4 years, become entitled to two representatives;
c | viz c Warren, Burke, Columbia, Washington,
I, ; Monroe, Richmond. Tims, its majority would
soon attain to 16 members. Tho power of tho’
i 39 Northern counties—in other words, the extent
a of their majority in the Legislature, would in
-7 crease, because the greater fertility of the coun
try promotes a more rapid increase, and can sup
- port i population more dense, than can bo «us
-3 tained in the Southern part of the State. And,
- moreover, it 15, or 18 counties be made from the
. Cherokee country, the aggregate of their repre
g sentatives would swell to 63, or 66—giving to the
- up-country a majority cf 25, or 28 members, ac
. cordingly as 15, or 18 new counties may be forra
i od. Although the ratios “between the Rcprcsen
r tatives and the People,” should vary in the two
, Divisions ofthe State, to the extent above shown,
b would not our scheme promise ample security to
- the predominance of the majority of the People ?
3 For, what is the number of counties in the North
j ern Division of the State?—39. Now, if 15
f new counties be formed from the Cherokee
. country, the number would swell to 54—if 18,
3 to 57. Allowing ono Representative to each,
- the Northern Division would have at IcasL 54,
» or 57 Representatives. It, moreover, has nine
s counties which would at once bo entitled to two
- Representatives—thus its members would be
• either 03, or 06. In addition, it has six counties,
wliigli would, in a short lime, by the natural in
crease of population, become entitled to two
j Representatives. Thus, the up-country, even if
- the representation were remodelled this year,
, would begin with a majority of 10—its majority
1 would soon swell to 25, or 28—and, in a few
t years, to 33, or 36; while the Southern, or
/ sparse region of the State, would have a repre
-1 sentatmn which would but tardily advance bo
i yond tho point at which it would bo fixed.
According to our plan, the number of Rcprc-
I sentatives for the State, would be fixed, at first,
f at tho moderate, and sufficient number of 86.
r The acquisition of the Cherokee country, would
• increase it to 101, or 104; and the probable in
f crease of population in the six counties wc
. have named, would, in a few years, swell it to
f 107, Or 110. But the Legislature could not soon
, exceed the last limit of increase. The majority
■ of the People, would thus have a relative efficient
I weight in Council, justly proportioned, upon our
• Printijile of representation—whildlho probable
, flow of population into tho now counties ofthe
r Cherokee country, and its increase in the conn
i ties but lately formed of the Creek country,
• would preservo the ratio of representation, be-
I tween the Northern and Southern Divisions of
f the State, relatively the Name as at first.
That the principle of representation above
. quoted from Madison’s writings, is. true, may be
1 easily shown, though we have but recently fa
-1 ken occasion to illustrate it. A different view
1 of the principle, modified as its application in
1 this State must be, by political circumstances,
. may be of advantage. i
1 The population of the different counties isvn
! ry unequal. But wc believe it would not bo
i proper to deprive any county, however small,
• of its Representative. We hcliove, moreover,
i that each county must, bo allowed at least one
’ Representative. The geographical extent of
: the different counties, is scarcely less unequal,
• Ilian their population. Each has, nevertheless,
i its local interests to promote, and its local mca
r surcs to adopt. These interests tend ccntripe
r tally to its Court-House Town, which thus be
s comes the principal scat of discussion of county
i measures. Hence, a citizen of tho county, who
: knows tho opinions, and feelings, and wishes of
f his countymcn, and partakes of them, would
i lio their proper representative The Court
- House Town of each county is, moreover, a
i central point of attraction, to which the people
: arc drawn to demand and receive justice, make
, elections, serve as jurors, &c; and possessing,
, in their collective capacity, certain local, com-ti
, tulional rights, confined to, and exercisable with
, in their county, each county thence acquires a
i certain distinct, sensible, and corporate indivi
- duality. This sentiment is folt, no matter how
• small a county may ho. It is indeed to be re
’ gretted that we have no many, and so small
f counties. They exist however, and we must
a accommodate our arrangements to liic habits
1 and the sentiments which their existence
5 has produced. A county, such ns wc have dc
, scribed if, cannot have its interests represented,
; and its measures proposed, by fewer than one
3 representative. Ware county, for instance, the
J largest in the State, must, if at all, be represent
fcd by one person. Taliaferro, the smallest
a county in the State, cannot bo represented by
B less than on {. Yet, Ware contains 2,915 square
miles—and TuHiafcrro Only 178. Put the popu
e lation of Ware, at 1,006. Taliaferro contains
i, 3,495. Could not one man as well, and perhaps
i, better, represent.Taiiafcrro, than one could rc
i present Ware county? But if the “ratio bc
tween the representatives and the people,"
. were to be the same in the two cosnti'es con-
I hasted, and Ware be allowed one, Taliaferro
i ( would have three representatives. Yet Ware
c county ia 16 times and a fraction, larger than
, Taliaferro. Or, if Ware county have 500 repre
sentative inhabitants, and Taliaferro 3,500, and
j. Ware be allowed one representative, then, If
the ratio of representation ought to be the same
in both, Taliaferro would have seven Rsprescn
, tatives. But, could not one man as well repre
i sent 8,000 •in.habitjnjf, deeply crotylcd into
Taliaferro county, as ho could 3,000 ? County
uteresta certainly do Uol incrcaae, or vary, with
the more increase of population within the same
territorial limits II If they do not, then the
interests of a dense population in a small dis
trict, being more fully developed by the activity
of trade, the improvement of agriculture, and
tho intercourse of society, could bo more accu
rately represented by ono man, than tho imper
fectly developed interests of a large and sparse
ly peopled district could be. Madison’s principle
is thus illustrated.
Now, instead of comparing county with coun
ty, lot us contrast division with division. Which
division contain* the majority of the people ?
The Northern. Tho minority then is in the
Southern. The same reasonings which we Ipive
applied to tho representation of tho two comi
ties, Ware and Taliaferro, are applicable to the
representation df these two divisions. There
fore, the “ratio between the representatives
and the people, is varied (as is above shown)
because it “ ought not,” i. c. there is no neces
sity, for its being “ the same, where the people
are very numerous, as where thsy ate very few,"
Statement of the ratios of Population and
Representation:
Rep. Pop.
Thirty-nine counties contain 269,276
Thirty-seven counties contain 96,073
The 39 counties lie North, and the 37 counties
South of the 33J degree of North Latitude. The
ratio between the population of the two classes
of counties, is as 3 to 1, and a fraction of 77,130
—or nearly as 3to 1. If tho representation of
the Slate bo remodelled on oar-plan, as propo
sed, the ratio between the representatives of the
two classes of counties, would bo asl and 5-19
to I—i. c. a little more than 1 and 1 4 to 1.
lor, the Northern class of counties would have
48, and the Southern class of counties 38 Repre
sentatives ; tho former having a majority often.
The acquisition ot the Cherokee country would
increase the ratio, to 1 and 4-6 to I—i. e, to
more than 1 and 1-2 to 1; giving the Northern
counties a majority of 25 at loast. And, as was
before shown, a further increase of it might be
calculated on in a few years.
Wo lix tlie number of Representative inhabi
tants entitling a county to two representatives,
at 10,000, because, to fix it at 8,000, or 6,000,
would give us too many Representatives to be
gin with; and because, to fix it at a smaller num
ber, would bring about, in a few years, the very
incoiivcnienccs.of a too numerous legislature, of
which, it is now our object to disencumber tho
State.
The effect of our Scheme would be, to have
a greater extent of country, and a greater popu.
lation, effectually represented, by a smaller num
ber of Representatives. Its advantage would
consist in its economy. AMES.
