sj Tlie Editors of the Georgia Constitution
alist, Savannah Georgian; and Federal Fnion,
seem to be excessively scandalised at the foreign
interference in our domestic affairs, which they
profess to discern in the State Rights Festival in
Athens. They exhibit e laudable indignation at
tlie professed interference of unr man, hat when
the dozen, who constitute the Albany Regency,
insolently dictated to Gov. Lumpkin, tlie course
iie should pursue in regard to the Missionaries,
these patriotic presses were unaccountably silent.
Really, this is straining at a gnat, and swallowing
s camel. With a vengeance. It would be a sub
ject of much curiosity" to inquire, what powerful
srt of transmutation has Same-sod those Edi
tors so lovingly, to the same ear. Is it to ad
vance the pretensions of Mr. Van Boren, whose
pliant tools the Albany Regency are and always
have been? Certainly, tlie matter wears a very
suspicious appearance at present; but time will
unfold their motive, though thpy may bes >me
what unwiling to unmask themselves. As to the
intimated interference at Athens, it exists only in
the overheated fancies of these enthusiastic par
tisans.

I’, is peculiarly edifying to look back on the ro
fords of the past. The astonishing facility, how
ever, with which public men change their po'iti

ylancc at transactions of a few past years, strikes
the mind with considerable forge, We have

Inri'cnsc oil Ilurdeuv,
1 ae investigation of the effect of the projected
amendment to the Constitution, in reference to
I lae burdens it imposes upon the people we jiro
j Posed to ourselves as tlie second branch of out
I ;;r 2 umcnt ' opposition to the ratification of the
j proceedings of the Convention. Fpon cxamin
| mg this important feature in the mode by which
I our government is to tie administered', our atten
tion IS first called tn the appropriation of the pub
.lC moneys, it has been abundantly proven that,
by adopting the amendment of the Convention’
llio political power of tha State is vested in the
handset the miuofity. J„ some cases it is the
net under our present system of Representation.
I lie act incorporating the Central Bank, was ae
tn. -y passed in the Senate by the votes of the
.-imaturs representing a minority of the people of
i.ie State: and it was to remedy tbis political
evil, that the Convention was assembled. We
would not insult the- good sense of our readers by
arguing tha established axiom of Republican
Government, that each division of the .State
should he represented in proportion to the number
o' its inhabitants, and tha part it bears in its
burdens. In other words that no system should
ho adopted which will cntitlo one portion of the
inhabitants, to a share in Legislation without <ie
frayiag t’leir quota of its expense,and entail upon
another portion the task of furnishing funds (o the
State and depriving them of ail represeptatioq ia
its councils. But such we arc compelled to admit
will be ease if the proceedings of the Convention
are ratified. Wo are prepared to prove this as
sertion most conclusively. The County of Ap
pling pays into the public treasury, say §IOO and
will receive for the payment pftls members $Ol6,
thus receiving in its favor sll6.
lae county o< Chatham pays into the treasu
ry §13,175,1)0 and, will receive lbr tlie pay
incut ol ita iiiciiijicrj}- ciiily s7ll. .Now it it is
just that the white population of Appling amount
j injjr to I.UdT persons, should receive the sum of
isll6, for their labor m electing ami sending
members to the Legislature, certainly some bonus
should also be given to the white population of
Chatham amounting to fiutll persons, they ouMt
by the same rule to receive 0.11,661, but the
facts of the case exhibit a balance against thorn,
and instead of receivings they ars compelled to
pay $ 12,631,02,f0r the same privilege. Now if
the county ol Appling besides these advantages
is entitled to two Representatives' including a
Senator the county of Chatham with four times
its population and paying thirteen times the u
mount of money into the treasury, by the same
ratio should at least be entitled to eight R pre
scntu'ivcs, inclmlinga Senator.
1 lie county ot Baker with a white population
of fi77 persons, pays into the treasury sll-*, will
receive as the pay of its numbers ISO, while
the county of Gwinnett with a white population'
of 10,731 persons,pays into the treasury $1,678,16
and will receive as the pay ofits members $713.
If then a white population residing in Baker
should not he hardened with the payment of liie
expenses ot Legislation, we know of no reason
why the white population of Gwinnett should
pay $135, or the white population of Chatham
should pay $ 12,000, and if two persons should bn
paid to represent 11/7 persons in Baker, certainly
twenty-one persons ought by the same rule to he
paid for representing 10,721 persona in Gwinnett.
•Since then 077 persons are represented in Baker,
by twoqrcrsaiis it follows by the same ratio that
1019 persons only of the county of Gwinnett will
be represented by the four members from that
county —leaving 8,712 of the tax paying inhabi
tants of Gwinnett unrepresented in tlie Legisla
ture. The projected amondnnoiil will leave 574
persons more unrepresented, than are now unrep
resented in that county. Is this no increase of
hardens 1 in the county of Chatham, the three
Representatives ineludingn f-'enatorallowed them
by the ratio, will represent 1105 white inhabi
tants leaving 3,533 of the tax payers of that
county also unrepresented—making 171 persons
more unrepr sented than are at present. Is this
no increase of burdens 1
Wo have been considering the counties as ar
ranged in their separate classes by the proposi
tion of the Convention. Lotus now look at two
counties in Ike same class ; Baldwin county has
3,12.3 white population, by the new plan is enti
tled to one Representative, mid half a Senator
pays into the public treasury $2,397 22, and will
receive as the compensation for one Representa
tive the paltry pittance of $132. The county of
Randolph has 091 white population, is entitled to
one Representative and half a Senator—pay? into
the treasury sl3s 80 and will received $261 as
the pay of one member. Now it will be perceived
that the county ol'.Randolph, with its 091 white
persons, pays nothing actually towards the ex
penses of Legislation, but absolutely receives
$132 20, while the county of Baldwin wi 'a four
times the number of white population will be real
lys2,2Cs 22, 'oat of pnekefi by the adoption of the
Convention project! If 091 white persons are
entitled to one -Representative, every edition of
Cocker that we have been familiar with, will show
that 3,123 persons ought to be entitled by the same
ratio t ) four Representatives. In regard to Bald
win therefore 2,132 ofits tax paying inhabitants,
arc left by such a ratio totally unrepresented in the
Lewisla'ure, 355 more than arc unrepresented by
the present system. These are plain statements
of facts, unincumbered with aught of sophistical
delusions, and the same inequality of representa
tion, the same injustice in the distribution ot the
burdens of Government will he found lo exist as to
the other counties. This i3 the plan proposed
bv a Convention to remedy these very c,vi!s! it
speaks rtifnmes for their wisdom, if it hears no tes
timony to their corruption.

Among the deaths recorded in late London
papers, we find that of Asm;, second daugh
ter of .Sir Waltki: Scott, who died in Lon

profuse perspiration. From the account
which he givFs ofhjs journey we can form
no better idea ol the length ot the melon
than fro attentive survey : by which
we should judge it to he, as the redoubta

considerable a lectio the longest musk
