nocosHary to comparu hor p -'•mt re|

By reference to the Feder d Cousus of 1870
it appears that the populafi«. i of New Castle
County was sixty-three thou md, live hundred
and tiftoon (63,5161, of Ken County twentv
nine thousand, eight hundred and four ( 29 804),
and of Sussex county thirty one thonnuiid, mix

And yet, with this great disproportion of pop
ulation and taxable property, t lie legislative
tation of that county is equal only to that
of eaoh of the other counties while the city of
Wilmington, witli a population greater than that
of either Kent or Sussex County, has never ha 1
a representative of lier vast local interests in
both liouHos of tho Genera! Assembly at the
time.
When our Htate Constitution of 1792, which
established tho prosout appui ioimient between
tlie throe counties, was fiaun d, the population
of each of thorn was uoarly c- piai in numbers :
That of Now Castle being uim teen thousand six
hundred aud oiglity-six (19,68 ij, ot Kent, oigh
thousand uino hundred au«l twenty (18,920
andof Hussex, twenty thousand four bundled
and eighty-eight (20,188.)
It is, therefore, reasonable to pres

With these considerations borin' in miml tliore

In making such increase it w.mld
