PEIR80NA.Ii REPRESENTATION. Tliat thc will of tho majority should govern is a rulo accepted almost everywhere, and in ?this country bus long been deemed tho key to tho most satisfactory form of democratic or representative goTornmont, nnd Ibo only principio upon which such government is pos? sible. A few wiso mon very early foresaw gravo objections to this method of rule ; but as in tho main it workod woll, no citoria were linnie to chango it for any other plan. Bul in tho presidential election of 18C0, by thc divis? ion into parties, tho successful candidate had not received a majority of tho votes cast ; ho had only received moro votes than nny ono of tho other three gentlemen, who wero bis com? petitors for tho presidontinl office Tho im? mediate result of this election, as wo all know, was a giganlio fratricidal war, tho most un for? tunato over waged on this continent. A differ? ent nc h emu of representation, in which the wishes of tho majority could have boen consti? tutionally contorcd upon one candidate, would, in all human probability, have averted this dlro calamity. j This subject bas received considerable altcn [ lion of late, particularly in England, whore Mr. HARP, has offered a scheme, which would socuro clfectual representation to every suf? fragist. Hut before wo enter on its explana? tion, wo will briefly roview tho ohiof objections thal have been mado lo our present system by several leading American writers, ns also, by M. DE TOQUBVILLI:, JOHN STIIABT M i LL, and other foreign publicists. These wo find clearly set forth in a late paper on this subject in the Galaxy. 1. Our present syst em of electing representatives, lends to tho separation of tho whole voting population into two groat parties, compelling forced and murnini til uniformity of view, intensifying partisan conflicts, and giving undue power to small majorities. 2. Il has led in practice to tho non-re? cognition of thc rights of minorities, ns well as to their non-representation in our legislativo bodies. 3. lt condemns to private lifo the bes!, wisest, nnd most original minds in Iho country, and gives nearly all thc prizes of high public sta? tion to "available" mediocrities. ^ ! 4. It fills our representative halls with pur? chasable representatives, who, in spile of their known unworthiness, aro kept in official posi? tion by ignorant or indifferent constituencies. fi. It has given birth to thc convention, the caucus, tho lobby, the ring-irresponsible bodies, unknown to the Constitution, yet oft timon far mora powsrful in controlling legisla? tion than a wisc publio opinion. 0. Il incites to demngogism-that is, lo un? wise and hurtful adulation of the people, makes the majority intolerant and tyrannical, and compels an unwholesome uniformity of view nnd action at times when debate and opposition are needful to form a correct publio sentiment. The practical working of the system is thus happily illustrated : "Voters in this country may be classified into thrco parties-say tho Blue, tho Oreen, and tho Yellow. Tho mass of voters belong either to the Blues or Greens, and not over one in ten lo tho Yellows; yet this last is the power-conferring parly ! The bulk of stolid and prejudiced people are always Democrats or Republicans, but sd, also, are tho men of sincere convictions, as well as all tho really honest voters ; but tho Yellow, or bal? ance-of-po wer party-a contemptible faction In point of numbers, and mado up of the most questionable voting matorial-after all, controls tho action of Conventions, and dict?tes the choice of executive and legislative officers. That is to say, our system gives the controlling power to the exceptional, purchasable and im? pressible minority volo." Mr. HARE'S plan has been brought into no? tice by the reform agitation in England, and is strongly endorsed by Mr. MILL. A modifica? tion of this plan, under the name of the "cu? mulative vote," has found its way into Parlia? ment, and is favored by the tory government. It was first proposed by Lord JOHN RUSSELL in 1864. His proposition was to increase the number of "three-corner" constitudnoios-i. e. oleotoral districts entitled to three members, but to restrict voters from giving their voices for more than two of tho repr?sentatives. Of course under this rule the majority would al? ways have two of tho members, and tho mi? nority, if large enough, the remaining one. But (his, after all, only recognizes (\vp__parties of tho State, and gives no representation to tho minor interests aad opinions which exist in all free governments, apart from the leading political organizations. Mr. THOMAS HABB published his plan in 1858; but to Mr. MILL, we believe, belongs the honor of bringing it into general notice. In his "Representative Government" thia scheme will bo found warmly and cogently endorsed. Mr. MILL proclaims this plan as of "transcend? ent importance," and sees in it a euro for the most palpable evils of representativo institu? tions. This plan operates somewhat as follows: If the election ia for a member of Congress, for instance, the voter is to write down tho names of his candidates in the order of his preference. He may put down two, six, ton, or any number of names, and these will repre? sent his first, second, third, etc., choice. If the first fails to get the requisite number of votes, perhaps tho second may be more lucky, and so on. The process of arriving at a cor? rect result is necessarily more oomplloato than our present system, but thin is a matter for the managers or judges, of elections, with whick the individual voter has nothing to do. Among the advantages whioh would arise, from .the adoption of the HARE scheme, ora wise adaptation of the oumulativo vote in this country, are the following : 1. It would se? cure to minorities, beyond all peradventure, their- true representation in oar legislative bodies. 2. It would revolutionise the irre? sponsible convention system, perhaps do away with it altogether, thus ridding us of the wire? pulling, log-rolling and corruption, whioh the present system necessarily entails. 3. Il would do away with caucuses. 4. It would keep in publio positions the best and most trusted men in the country, because only those who were widely known, could secure the ne? cessary numbor of volee. 6. Il would rob minority votes, such as the "Irish volo " "soldiers' vote," working men's vote," et?., of (ho undue influence they now exert, because of thsir assumed power to tarn doubtful dlslriols and win party victories, and would thus save un from much questionable; legislation. 0. It would not only grontly increase Hie intellectual ?nd mural power 9tCongress, but would entura us the first minds in Hie country ns executive ofJicors. Under tito convention system which lias heretofore prevailed, our greatest mcu hovo been kepi out or thu presidential chair, while under tho HARE schrmc 'he most popular man could certainly bo elected. 7. ll would bring homo lo every elector thc feeling of actual and porsonnl responsibility, convert what nre now | bare majorities into uuauimous constituencies, and demoralizing political contests into efforts of honorable emulation between candidates. In 18('i0 the total vote polled for President was 1,080,109, of which Mr. LINCOLN had con? siderably less limn one-half-1,800,-162; yet tho electoral vole was over one-half; Hie wliolo vote hoing 303, Mr. LINCOLN obtained 180 voles, whereu thc true proportionate elec? toral vote would only have been 121 for his share. In 1801, Mr. LINCOLN had 2,223,036 votes, represented by an electoral vote or 213. Gen. MCCLELLAN received 1,811,734 votes, and only 21 in Ibo electoral college, whereas (ho real proportion would have been 120 electoral votes to Mr. LINCOLN, and 100 to MCCLELLAN. As n number or orgnnie conventions arc about tn sil all over i lie South, aud also in some ortho olhor States or the Union, there would seem to bc ni 'his lime a fuir opportunity for inaugurating a pi m ImBcd on, and moro or less similar to, tho one proposed by Mr. HARK. WO should like to sec thc experiment made, and although wc arc liol quite sure thal il would much husten the approach or thc political millennium, wc cannot help thinking and be? lieving that il would bc a great improvement on our present system or popular representa? tion. _WANTS._ WANTKD, A (1IIOD COOK IN A PRIVATE family.
