Editor Sentinel: Please announce that there art 1 1 or 10 young Democrats living in Renhselaer and vicinity, who are anxious to meet any of the Protection Republicans of Rensselaer and vicinity * nd discuss the tariff question, from the standpoint of Tariff for Revenue only, the discussion to be governed by Clark’s Parliamentary Rules, and the 10th census to be taken for all estimates of exports* imports, and prices of all manufactured articles. The arrangements to be agreed to by the Chairmen and Secretaries of the Democratic and Republican Cen tral Com m ittees By order, Ezra C. Nowels, Chairman Dem. Cen. Com. •I as. W. Douthit, Ssc’y Dem. Cen. Coin. The Chicago Grocery, R. F. Priest, proprietor, is now in full blast, in the Williams-Stockton block. Extensive’stock, new, fresh and at prices that defy competition.

Representation is based on population, and the population of Mi sissippi, Georgia and South Carolina combined is consider bly more than double that of lowa. The bray of the Des Moines ass over the representalion of those States, and re-echoed by his brother of the Rensselaer Republican proves them to be either exceed inglv dishonest, or excessively ignorant.

Editor Sentinel: In the Republican of the 19th appears an article credited to t e Des Moines Register, set un<ier the very bold headline: “Southern Rule Illustrated.” The germ and essence of the article eems to lie to mislead and convey to the mind of the reader that a great inequality now existed in the apportionment for Eeprese datives in Congress among the several States. The article is as follows: “lowa last fall cast 375,000 votes and elected eleven Congressmen. But South Carolina, Mississippi and Georgia altogether did not cast as many votes, yet elected twentyfour ongressmen. Here are the figures: Total vote lowa —Eleven Congressmen, 375,830. South Carolina- Seven Congressmen, 91,023. Mississippi—Seven Congressmen, 120,993. Georgia—Ten Congressmen, 142,479. Twenty-four Congressmen, 355,095. Thus the Northern State of lowa, casting more votes than the combined States of South Carolina, Mississippi and Georgia, hasn’t one half their number of Congressmen, nor one ha f their representation in the Electoral Colleg I ask, is this array of figures any evidence of “Southern Rule? If so, I ask the Republican in its next issue to explain in what way. The Constitution of the United States, Article 1, latter clause of section 2, provides that “The number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty thousand, bnt each State shall have at least one Representative.” &c. The ratio of representation has been changed every ten years, except for the first and second census, for Representative apportionment, wh ch dates from -March 4, 17 3 to March 4,1803, being the period covered by the first census. From March 4, 1803, to March 4,1813, being t .e period covered by the second census. During this period of twenty years 33,000 was th ratio of representation. The third census, 35,ooo; the fourth, 40,9oo; the fifth, 47,700; the sixth, 70,680; the seventh, 93,423; the eighth, 127,381; the ninth, 131,425; the tenth, 154,325. These rat os are made up from the whole number of free persons, and not from the whole number of votes cast at the last general election.

I cannot see this question in the light of -the Des Moines Register, or the Republ c m ( who assumes these statements when he copies them in his paper ), that it illustrates “Southern Rule.’’ But it illustrates the spirit of the Constitution of the United States, witho it reference to any State, section or party. The article refer ed to would imply that the South ruled, in the way of representation, in a manner not guaranteed by the Consti utiou and injurious to the freedom of the people of lowa. If the Republican will explain the article referred to and what is meant by “Southern Rule Illustrated” it will greatly oblige A Young Democrat.
