and if any new county shall be annexed
to one of tlie districts from which it may
be taken.” This is the whole authority
to the General Assembly in relation to
ihe Senatorial Districts. It was exe
cuted by the General Assembly of 1843,
which adopted the amendment to tbe
constitution. Like any other power,
limited as to time and persons execut

by any rule of construction be held to
be a continuing power to any body by
the same name subsequently conven
ing. That this pa*iiiou is correct, is
shewn by referring lo the same amend
ment of the constitution, in relation lo
the organization of the House of Rep
resentatives. After limiting tlie num
ber of members to one hundred and
(flirty, allowing two representatives
each to tf e thirty-seven counties having
the greatest population, and one to
each of the other counties, it declares
that “ the said apportionment” (of Rep

General Assembly, at the session by
which this section shall he adopted as

act to be introduced after the adoption
thereof, and a new apportionment
