The Democratic Convention in Greene county passed resolution dissenting from the principles of representation m the Democratic State Convention recommended by the Leg isalye Convention last wn- ter. They not only disseuted from II, but went so far as to call it "wanton departure" from usage. and an attempt the part of the democrats of the north to deprive the Greene democrats of their "just rights and proper inuence in the selection of their rulers

 This resolution was adopted among others with out opposition debate, which shews sufhc,ently that It had not been properly examined IL is scarce y possible that in any meeting all respectable for numbers, there should not be found some to maintain the obvlous justice of the proposed mode of repre- senation. It is nothing more than propo.ition that democrats in all parts of the State shall have an equal voice in the nomination of capdidates-,ba, every individual democrat shall have as much r,sht as any other democrat in the meetings of the party. The Greene county assumption is in substance. thai the proportion which democrats from each coumtv ought 10 have in the State Convention. should be re- gulated not by their democratic numbers. but by the aggregate of both whigs and democrats-ihat is, the whole population 'n ther respective counties. It follows that the counties gain strength in inc Com Vent'on m direct proportion to the number of wings m the county, and lose strength in pro- portion 10 the greatness of their maorities as d. mocrats. The fewer the democrats the greater will be their relative power, for they count for the whole representative numbers of the county. And the re- i'tlve weight of each individual and of course the weight ofhs county in the Convention, decreases as the majority of wings over democrats increases - Tweny-two hundred democrats in Jackson county count for three members six hundred and fifty Tn Clarke count only for one, while the 800 m Greene VIII count as much all Jackson and three times as much as Clarke. This is what the Greene meeting cAl their just rights, while the Tuscal loosa proposi. ton was that only democrats sha be counied and all c 'un'ed eq'a'ly. We can see reasonable ground for the Greene complaint
