The rc|lbrts ReVe road, and ou motion, the resolutions were taken up by, paragraphs, and adopted, with tlio preamble to rend as foUou;s:— The committee to whom was referred the duty of ascertaining and reporting “What sections aiul clauses of tho couititutiob. relative to the appor tionment dud equalization of the rneimitFs of the general assembly, with a view to a reduction of tite hiirbbeiylt ivoiijtl be expedient to ninctul; tlie dny upon which it wbliiil bo ndwsnbje for the peo ple to hold their elections for delegates to meet iti convention, for tho purpose of making said a- meridments; the day upon which said convention siiall assemble; the number of delegates to ho c- lceted from each county, and the mauuer of hold- ing the elections for such delegates,’’ respectfully submit for their report, id psiR, the followihg re solutions: Resolved, That the several eountles of this State, be, and they are hereby respectfully, i^- commended, to elect delegates to tlio couvcptibii to be held for the purpose.of reducing and equal izing the representation of the people in the gen eral, assembly, in number equal to tho siumber. of representatives in the most numerous branched t m general assembly, at tbe time of tbe cleculb of the delegates. Resolved, That the eountiea hi this State are respectfully recommended to hold their elections for delegates to the convention, on the first Mon day in November next, that said elections be held, superintended nud conducted Recording to the manner pointed out by law for tbe electiou b! members to tlio Legislature. Resolved, That it is expedient, thnt the dele gates elected shall convene in tbe state house in the town ofMillcilgcvlIle.on tbe first Muuday of February, 1833, for the purpose qf..altering nud amending the constitution of Georgia, iu relation in the reduction and equalization of the rcprescii- atinfl in the Legislature, and that thnt dny bo anil is hcrehy.respeclfully named nnd recommen ded as the time for the meeting bf tlio contempla ted convention: , . Resolved, That surji nnictcs, sectious and clau ses of tho Constitution of Georgia, ns ri/flte to tho, organization m the Legislature, require n- iiichdrtieht; that the amendments, alterations or additions to bo made, should be confined.to tbe reduction of the number of the general assembly, and to an cqualizatloh of die representation of the people in both branches of tlio Legislatfirc; and that we Fccbmmcnd that the nincudments, alterations, and additions, thus to Jie made, be submitted to the people for their confirmation of rejection. • , Resolved, That it be rocommcudcd that the several delegates elected to tlio convention, be the hearers to that body, of tbe election returns from thefr rcsncclivo counties—the convention, ns all such bodies do, exercising the right of detcruiin ing on tho sufficiency of such returus. Resolved, That tlio nddressherewith presented, other way, than that now recommended for yonfr approval. , , The plan of cuumeratiuit established by the • present system, increases the General Assembly at the next session, to 2aU members, including 80 Senators. The situatiim, soil and climate of the Choruki-o country, will no doubt invite a vast po pulation. It is reasonable to anticipate that this country will compose from 15 to 17 counties, which will in all probability increase the number of members in the Legislature, in a short time, tq Upwards of 300.,—What beneficial or corrcspoud- iug'good can arise from so numerous a body of legislators? Will tb^ir measures be characterized by jmideuco or wisdom? Nny, has not past ex perience rather shewn you, that tho good, which they, for tlio last few years linve accomplished, is by uo means commensurate with the' per diem al lowance which they have tukcu from your Ire a-, sury. It has bceu justly said, that in numerous assemblies, of whatever character chinposed, pas sion never fails to wrest tho sceptre fiom reason) Hud every Athenian citizen been a Socrates, c- very Athenian assembly would linve been a mob. A numerous assombly of Legislators never yet benefited themselves, or others, by their delibera tions. The laws enacted by them nro usually in consistent with each other, uncertain iu their pro visions, BBd*ObSeure4q4heir language, defying a- like the jurist.audklie judge, to present a rational translation of their tuenning. Tho progressive increase of legislative enactments for the fait few. years, seem to rise iu geometrical progression— this is too notorious to require proof of the fact; ; ret if such proof should be required, turn to oil* . Jigcsts, and tlio, fact is demonstrated beyond al( dispute! But tbeso nre niinor evils, in compari son with olliers which a"numerous legislature has entailed upon you. Tlio burthensomo and prodi gal drafts upoq your .treasury, are well calculated to excite the most lively anxipticj for the future. Turn to your coffers—behold (hem nearly ox-; Imusted! Ask your Treasurer for an exhibition of thb stato of your exchequer-bo will tell you that the appropriations for the current yonr nro upwards ol $278,000, and the pay- roll of your lo-. I pslature, a fraction above $55,000, making $333,'- 000. To pay this sum, on the 1st or April last, there was iu tlie Treasury $204,000!! These, fellow citizens, are stubborn facts, proved by tho documents aanexed to this address. Comment upon tliuin is unnecessary. , It is believed to lie a fundamental principle in representative republics, that population aud not territory, should form the basis of representation.' The total disregard of this salutary principle in. tbe present system, elm oply bo accounted lor by. tho tnct, that 34 years ago, when the Conslitutiod wns framed, there were but 26 counties, and tho House of Representatives consisted of only 62 members; but howovtr expedient it might havo been deemed nt that time to have constituted tha Senate on this liasia, no argument, it is conceived^ cap lief drawn from tliis fact, in favor of a conti- duafice of a system which is violative of that prin ciple of equality in representation, to, essential to a perfect reprt-hontntivo government, and upon which tlio stability nnd prosperity uf every poli tical fabric must essentially depend. To put this brunch yf tho Subject in a clear, point of view, two examples are sulectcd from thq ilocumetits.already adverted to. The representa tive population of Chatham is 11,800, that of Wayne is 818, yet in tlie distribution of power in tho Scuato, Wayne is as Cully represented as Chatham. Tnko another example—Wilkes has. a representative population of 10,607, that} of Randolph is 084, yet these two counties in repre sentative power nro equal in the Senate. . Is this equality of representation? Is it just that tho small couutici should cxnct such a vast sacrifice from the larger ones? Ought, not such nn ap portionment rather to ho stricken from the Con stitution, and entirely repudiated as tho grosses* of nil political heresies. This branch of tho suh- a tendency to produce a concert inaction, so de sirable in this uicnicntiims measure, and so comlu civc to nn auspicious result. While the ubilefsigiVOcv nre deeply sensible of tlio numerous defects of the present constitution, and of the evils engendered by its provisions, and also of the absolute necessity of providing a spee dy nud efficient remedy for them; white, too, they believe, in eommonwitli mnuy of tlieir fellow-ci tizens, that the only remedy tor these evils, is to be found in the redeeming virtues of the people nsseinblcd by tlieir delegates in convention: these delegates acting, ns they would doubtless act, with n single purpose.to advance the prosperity, aud exalt the character of the State; and at the same timc.'sqcure to you, no'd your children, the invaluable blehings of civil ana religious liberty; would not fail to preseut for your final sanction and adoption, a revised constitution, remodeled, and adapted to your present situation, everyway worthy of the character of its framers, nnd accep table ttf yourselves; yet, tlie undersigned, have felt tlicmrclvcs obliged to abslnin from rccom- uiemling a revision of thaj instrument, beyond a reduction'aud equalization Of tbe number compos ing tlio general assembly.' They did not deem themselves at liberty to go farther. To flial ob ject, therefore, their inquiries have lieorf limited.

Tim address was then taken up, read again, and adopted as follows: ADDRESS. Fellow-Citizens—The undersigned, to whom were confided the duty of recommending to, you tho expediency of a convention of delegates, to amend the constitution, so‘ns to secure a reduc tion of tho pumhernt present composing tlie gen eral assembly, tho selection of tbe day on which it would bq mlvisablo to elect,the delegates, their number, Si fhe time fprjht incctipg ptsqeji'*o'ft- veutiou;—having discharged tfih trpst reposed in tics, with tlio sums nnnuallv paid ont for tho | of tlieir representatives. The taxes paid in 1830 by Appling were $90, the representatives of that county received in 1831, 8516!—Bakci paid tax es 8100. the representatives received $490—Ir-) will paid 8G5, tlio representatives received $480— Marion paid $50, tlio representatives received $470—Randolph paid $75, tho representatives' received $522—Ware paid $50, the rcprcseuut-' lives received $502., . « .. ( Tho foregoing, follow citizens, nre some of tho evils which it is proposed to remedy, by rccotn- im-iiding to ion in elect Delegates to meet i'i Cnfif. volition,Tor tho purpose already expressed. Tlio efforts to fi'ecomplisli a purpose so replete with be-e ncficinl results to tho people, whilo they vriuld' tlTohlo the flights of tlio highest genius, should meet in this inxtnucc, with respect, though com ing from tlio humblest intellect. Tim scicuee of government is progressive; but experience is better than any theory. Virginia and New York have set the example in remodel ing their governments—they havo benefited by the light of experience, nnd nre now enjoying tbe fruits of tlieir exertions; xvliilo this light to them is like the polar star, to guldo them into safe and secure moorings, shall it prove to you only a bea con light, which gives warning of the courso to bo shunned, but does not point out that which should bo pursued. The foregoing considerations are submitted to yen, fellow citizens, with pure motives, nni) with a frinkness which tbe sbhjtct demanded.
