[From the Hampden Federalist,] CONSTITUTION - No. 11. By »he eecond article of amendments, it is proposed to change the political year from the last Wednesday in May, to the first Wednesday of January, so that there may not ordinarily be more than one session of the General Court. in a year - and it is provided that all the elections shall be conformed to it. Tne elections are to take place the second Monday in November, and Rep. resentatives to be voted for on the same dsy with Senators. There are two very obvious reasons for the proposed change. "1 he first is a very great saving of expense, by finishing the business at one session. The second is, that the business will be belter done. The members will more constantly attend. And ordinarily the private business will be delayed till the publick is finished, instead of crowding out-all publick con concerns - cerns concerns as is now very frequently the case. This alteration, though opposed by a few members, was adopted by a very ' large majority, 408 being in favour of 1 it, and only 55 against it. No impor important - tant important alteration received so general sup-1 port in tbe Convention. The third and fourth articles of amendment may i be improvements inthe Constitution, 1 and there is no objection to adopting 1 them. The sixth article, which provides for ' alterations in regard to the Council and 1 Senate and House of Representatives, is unquestionably the most important, j The number of Senators is proposed to be thirty-six, to be proportioned on the several districts in the State, ac according - cording according to the tax paid, in the same way with the Constitution as it now stands. The Counsellors are reduced from nine to seven, and to be chosen by the Senate and House of Representatives, in joint ballot from among the people at large, excluding both Senators and Representatives. But the great altur alturation - ation alturation is in proportioning Represents-, tives. In regard to them, there is a ' great and radical change proposed. - ' first, instead of being governed by: the number of rateable polls which was the basis adopted, probably because o originaily - riginaily originaily a poll-tax was the principal' tax, this system is to be governed by ; the number of inhabitants, and every j town containing 1200 inhabitants is to i have one Representative, and to have the increase of one (nr 2400 additional: inhabitants - provided, that if there I shall be more than 275 Represents-1 tives, the members shall be proportion proportionally - ally proportionally increased after every census, so 1 as to reduce the whole number to 275. 1 No newly incorporated town can send ' a Representative, unless it have 2400 inhabitants. The towns which have less than 1200,' are to be classed by the Legislature into two classes, the largest towns into one class, and the smallest another - the largest towns are - to send a Representative the first year,; and the smaller the second, and so on j every year except the year a valuation is to be settled, when each town may send one - and if any two towns to be classed, wish to be united to choose a Representative every year, they are to be united. If any one of those towns, now under 1200, shall in future have more, they are to be entitled to send one every other year,and any town falling short of that number is to be classed - the towns thereby entitled to send every other year, are never to lose that privilege, be their numbers ever so small, or reduced ever so low. And the members are to be paid out of the publick treasury, both for travel and attendance. The first inquiry that occurs, is, whether this Alteration is better than the old system t And a second, if it is, whether a much better one may not be proposed i The ostensible object is to lessen the number of Representatives, to dimin diminish - ish diminish the expense, and to facilitate bus business - iness business by having only such a number that business may be done correctly and expeditiously. By the proposed system it is to he calculated upon, that from 250 to 260 members will attend, and that they will attend through the whole session as they are to be paid out of the pubtick Treasury, and may fix their own pay.. Until after the year 1800, upon the present system, the number of Rep Representatives - resentatives Representatives borne on the roll, was much less Chan it will be upon the new

plan, and probably they did not attend more than one third of the time on an average. Since the year 1800, the number of Representatives elected, has exceedingly varied. In the year 1818, there were< only 167; and this year short of 200. Probably the num number - ber number the present year, during the whole time that the Legislature was in slon would be much less than 150 - a» a calculation of expense, in ordinary times, tbe present system would bo much better than the one proposed. - And if there should be, on extraordi. nary occasions, a full representation, tbe expense would not be very burdensome, and much benefit might result to the community. But it may be said, with a degree of truth, on the present system, there will be grpat inequality; some towns will elect a great number, when others send none. And it may also be said, that tbe members will not attend reg regularly - ularly regularly and constantly. These must mustbe - be mustbe admitted to be evils of no small magnitude. But they may easily be remedied. - Let the compensation be such that the pay will be no object. Let no member receive his pay, who is not in his place at the proper time - and let the attend attendance - ance attendance through the session, unless in ex extraordinary - traordinary extraordinary emergencies, be made a condition of receiving payment for travel. In Some such way the practi practical - cal practical evils of the present system may be belessened, - lessened, belessened, without recourse to a new and complicated plan. It is very obvious that in the proposed arrangement, the smaller towns having 1200 inhabitants, and but a few more, will acquire an inconceivable advantage over the larger ones. West-Springfield, for instance, con containing - taining containing four parishes, now entitled to send at least four Representatives, in the new system is to send but one. - And Palmer, now sending but one, is to. retain the right. The new rule will operate upon the largest towns still mure unequally R OBton , sendintr at present 45, and entitled to send more, will probably be entitled to send not more than 16 or 18. Salem, now entitled to send 13, will then have a right to send only four or five. If I am rightly informed, there is but one town in the whole five western counties, which will be entitled to send .wo Representatives. The in increasing - creasing increasing ratio is much too large, if 1200 is the lowest number. In regard to the towns which are to send every other year, the innovation is a very great one. Some of them will have a better lot than they new have, and some of them a worse. - Take them together, their situation is not to be as good as the small towns, who can barely send one Representa Representative - tive Representative ; but it is much better than tha large ones. There is a very flagrant injustice in providing, that when tbe valuation is fixed, every corporate town, whether now entitled to send a Representative or not, may each send one, while the larger towns are entitled to no mpra Representatives that year than usual. - Montgomery, Russell and Holland, alt of them together, by the last census, had less than 1500 inhabitants - West- Springfield more than double that number. They each send one, and West-Springfield is to send only one, and to help pay for those from the oth other - er other towns. By these means, those towns which' pay very much less than half the tax io the will be able to control what ought to be the majority on this subject. But if the present system requires alteration, it ought to be snada upon equal and consistent principles. There is no method so equitable, as that of fixing tbe representation upon the population - giving to a certain fixed number of inhabitants the right to send a Representative, and making the expense a common charge* will do justice to all. A division of the State into suitable and convenient districts for electing Representatives, is a convenient and feasible mode of effecting this object. The districts ought not to be so small as to give oae town an undue Influence in the election. The districts ought not to be so large that the people may not be well acquainted with those to be elected. Each district may contain about 15/100 inhabitants. This coun county - ty county might he divided into two districts by the river - and each district to
