The population of the State under the new census, was khown long before‘the meeting of the Legislature, and the bill was introduced and passed im the Assembly, but it was defeated in the Senate, where the success of party was held to be more important than the fair representation of the people. Now after the duty of legislators is thus grossly neglected and thé session passed, the Governor is asked to call an extra fession. There is no probability of an agreement upon this question in an extra session, and there is no hope that the work of an extra session will be more advantageous to the State than the last. It is true the last Legislature has not done much harm, so far as the people are able to ascertain, but their sins of omission are great, and in time, when the awe amt journals are published, it will be found that nfany of the members have left undone those things which fRey Stight to’ave done.
