Nosway, December, 1C50. idessrs. Editors: -A second Homer

I has made his appearance in the unsua.

pecting wilds of Indiana, with a slight "variation. Homer, I believe, was blind in both eyes, and his follower in one. From the various publications made through the United States in regard to the new discovery of men with tails. I have Only doubled it and given it a vague hearing, rather believing that there was no connecting link between the Baboon and man, but from the above poetical prose, I am convinced "hcycr.d a reasonable doubt," thr.t such a link does exist, and that they do possess tales. S.

Fer the Chieftain. .When 1 attend a meeting and hear the minister commence preying, O Lord thou art this, an 'iott art thai, and. thou art the other, as thou!i the Almighty did not know, himself, reminds me of a man who once lost a gimblet, and when he went to prayers one morning, turning up his eyes, as some do now-a-days, and seeing his gimblet in a crack in tha loft, exclaimed,

"O, Lord, thou art the gimhlcl!"

resented ii your Legislature l'.?i"o jcars cut of the four, than if th c y we re a pa r t of tho Commonwealth cf Kentucky. An increase of the numb of representatives is objected to, on the score of economy, but' I think as the gentleman from Wayne, (Sir. Rariden) has correctly stated, that the people would rather economize in any other particular, than by reducing their representation. As citizens, have - no higher privilege than that of suffrage and representation and

participating ' in the State councils. I

reasonable to assert that the large connties of Marion and Wayne, for instance, could be effectually and suulciently represented by one representative, than that four counties could be so represented; for in the latter case, there is often a confiictof interests, each county having a separate and distinct interest from olj other counties, whilst in the largo and populous county, there is a unity "of interest. I hope, therefore, that this fact will be borne i:i mind by those delegate representing the larger counties of the State that have two or more representatives, and that thov will not exact too much from the new counties, which are rapidly in creasing in population, but will be disposed to'givo them a fair, and indeed liberal share, in the representation of the State. It is assorted that representation' and taxation should go together, but this piinciplo bears heavily upon the new counties. We have a burdensome State debt which these new counties had no agency in creating, and j-et they unrepresented in the creation of it, are to share in tho taxation' necessary to discharge the interest on an indebtedness from which they have derived no benefit. I trust that a liberal system of representation will be settled upon, so far as the new ar.d weak er counties are concerned. .Representation in these new counties hss hitherto been kept at a great distance as it were from the people, and I am persuaded that they are possessed of no right which this Convention might be disposed to abridge, that would excite among them as much angry resentment as this right cf representation. I am satisfied that nothing will do so much to prejudice the success KJ any Constitution that may be submitted to them, as the diminution of their political importance. However wholesome otherwise its provisions may be, however advantareotts some, ii' not all of its amend-

monts, t"..3 feeling proper for U.3 favorable

cor.siders.aon will not be ccncTlatcd, if this reduction bo insisted on. I?hey will prefer to retain their present position under the old Constitution to any promfsed advantages, coupled with such sacrifice. I hope, therefore, that if no greater rights of representation are extended to them that their situation will not bo rendered less desirable, and that the provisions of the present Constitution, if more libera terms cannot bo granted, may be allowed to rernahi'in force.
