Tbungb tbls were true, It Is no ftnewer; but it Is not true. Hamilton county bae city and a rural population, a native or Anglo Saxon population, and a German or for eign population. They live in eeperew and distinct pam of the city and county, aod faftve separate ftnd distinct i itertita to represent.' But they ou uever be repreiented m long as tbe OoQHtltatiou rvmelne unchanged. Eaoh and all must submit to tbe inexorable rule of the ooon ty convention, In which (he city alwayi has majority of tbe members. As tbe case now Is, Ibe minority he uu voice In tbe Legislature, although it numbers leu tboaucd voters, aod ie within a tradUm ot tbe majority. Were tbfi oounty divided Into elngle dietrlcta, all shadi of party and all ibedes ol Interest would be re presented, end ibe.eeDftioriacd Repreeentatlvee would be brought liito closer contact wltb their constituent, and consequently would be noder greater rtrponiilbulty as to tbe manner which tbey perlornied their duty. The article ol tbe Enquir advances doe irloes whioi. are at vsrlsnce not only with the theory and practice ot our Government, but variance with the theory and practice ot the county of Hamilton. For Instance, It as It ssys there Is but una interest In ft eoanty, wby then is It thtt Hamilton eoanty is divided Into cities and towmbipi for the convenience ol tbe peo ple? If there be but one interest in tbe city Cincinnati if It le "one entiraty," wby Is out up into s ome 01 teen or twenty districts tbe eltctluo of tbe counoll of tbe city? Wby were wards tiistituUd, aod wby are ward officers eleotnl by separate and distinct bodies of men? II Hamilton county le "one entirety," and It ftntl Democratic to divide It, becsare by doing you divide lulru which are not susceptible division, why le Hamilton county divided Into two UungrtMionl districts? Who does not rvoolleot, when Mr, Pugb was elected to the (Jolted Stales Senate, that It was Hamilton county that did it? That oounty, with Its eleven votes, acted as a unit Tbey said that they would permit no other nomination than that of Pagh, and tbey forced bis nomination upon tbs party and elected him. Tbe thing is all wrong, and tbs single dlstriot system would hare been adopted last fall, U tt bad not been overlaid with soma half dosen other amendments, which the people neither understood nor cared about Tbe truth Is there no argument to support the position taken by the Enquirer, except that might makes right. Our theory of Govern ment Is, and our practice ought to be In nance with It, that the people, and not oounty lines are to make the laws and elect tbe lew makers. We venture to say that there in mors affinity of leeling aod ol iuteresta between Ibe people ot Clermuot, Fayette, Warren, Brown,' Gfiwn and Clinton, tbau there ie between the peoptn of the ct'y of Cincinnati and thorn who live In the um county, In tbe rural districts; and yet the people living in, tbs counties we have nsmed have to elect senators and repreeen-v Utlves by single dlelrlota, while In Hamilton county thny are elected eight repreeentatlvee aud threo senators In a lump, and tbey come up hers aa ft political unit, and exercise an In-Queuos far beyond what tbey are legitimately milieu to. Our surprise is that the people ol Ohio will submit to It. The Tenlls Weifcj et Ohio nod Hew fork. One of the m at Important questions whlob will come before tbs Legislature thle winter is the proposition to sell the Pnblio Works of the State. Jode Rankin has already given notice of t bill to tbftt effect, which be will doubtless soon present Onr t pinions upon tbe matter have been often expressed. We believe that the timi has fully oome when tbe Public Works ahontd pass from tbe hands of tbe State, and become tbe property ot private Individuals. This Is the only way in which they can be made profitable to tbe Btate, and of great utility to tbe people. They have been going behindhand for several years, until now. lustesd of being a source of profit to tbs State, tbey have become dead lose, so far ss revenue la concerned. Our canals, nevertheless, are i f tbe highest 1m porta nee to tbe welfare of tbe State. Tbey must be kept In repair, aud continue to be tbe great highways of our interior commerce. Mo man would consent that tbey be abudoned, or left to tuke care ot themselves Nor would It be well t' at tboy fall Into the bands of rallruad impanles, and thai become the mere adjuncts sn overshadowing monopoly. Gusrus can aslly be placed In m bill for the sale of the oa nab), whiob will prevent the possibility ot suob occurrence. So long ss railroads are couduotcd by private terprlss and the oausls sre kept in tbe pos session of the State and controlled by politi ¬ cians who have no especial interest lo them ex cept ss ft means of getting salaries aod of pen lioniog decayed aod spavined office seekers, just so long will the ratlrouds skio the Canals, aud tbe trade continue gradually to decrease upon them, until they become a most suilous burden upon tbe tax payers ot tbe State. In the view we take of tbe matter, we are surprie ed that opposition to the sale should come Iroin msn who live along the lines; for, wl.h the In crease of business whiob private Individuals would force upon tbs canals, would eome to those living on their banks all tbe advantages which would flow therefrom. The osuals of Ohio, are not alone In suffering from the effeo's of railroad competition. The nali In tbe State ol New Toik are Buffering from tbe same cause, and already a strong current of popular feeling Is ruolng In that Stale sell tbem to private companies, ftiid t1 us place them on an equality with tbe railroads, regards tbe benetl s which are sure lo accrue from the application of private enterprise, to trade aod oommerce ovrr that of State, or political enterprise. We have before us the report of tbe Auditor ot tbe State of New York, or that portion of It whlob relates to tbe canals that State. Tbe lollowicg statemeut, wblcb we copy, shows tbe number of barrels carried on the New York canals In each of the ye ars named, and the tolls received by tbe 3tste: Barret. WEDNKSDAY.

Tbe ftb street of tbs debate In the telegraph column is Important aod Interesting. In tbe Houe, Mr, Clark B. Cochrane of New York made a a eech agalnat the Leonmpton constitution.

Mori Reform The House yesterday After noon passed ft bill repealing the Fee Bill of last session. It was not done by a party vote. Republicans and democrats voted both for and against It. Tbs Hamilton county delegation, with the exception of Captain Rogers, voted against the repeal. Tbe Katetmen end the Have Peat BaH The Oeie 8titman, which Is already under the ban of at least one-third of Ita party, for having, on th occasion of the Lecompton ewin- die, epoken lor once a few honest sentences. now attempts to gain some of Its lost favor by paying court to the meanest and lowest Influences of Its party, by volunteering s defense of the miserable jail bill which has just passed the House n measure demanded by no oltisen of Ohio, and for the passage of whfob the slave-ban tare alone should rejoice and glorify. It l-Isugbable to witness the airs which our cot em porary puts oa In defending this bill ot Ibe "olgger catchers." One would imagine thfl bill waa imbued wltb the spirit of a 'brlstlan Democracy, aod breathed only tbe breath ot Democratic life, wheo in (act, it Is thn meanest bill tbat ever received support In a free State Legislature. Even tbe slave hunters, for whose benefit It is pssed, will anesr at il, while they apnlaud its advocates. It Is one of those meas ures of oppression whioh sometimes become laws under the pressure of party rule, and the despot Inn ol caucus drills. We fatew that there Is not constitutional majority In t e House In favor of it, end ypt It passed. Members did not vote their honeat sentiments in voting for that bill. It had its origin In Ciucinnatfn that city Its support oame, and In eonreqaenoe of the combined vote of that county It was made n party measure received tbe indorse' ment of the otu'us, aud therefore it Is tu be put through. Tbe Stateimun attempts a defense of (be action of Its party In pass ng tbe bill, but it has nothing to say In support of tbe bill iiself. We shall not criticise the Siattmm'i article loo closely. We know what a bid fix It is in, and tbat, for having spokun a word (r freedom In Kansas, It must prove iu adbtreuce "still" to the party by advocating pro slavery measures In Ohio.

It was commented on by Mr. Wilson In ihe Senate, wbo said thst tbe slaveholders might go out ot the Union as soon as they pleased, but tney couio net ne mowed 10 lake any ol tbe territory of the Republio with tbem. Senator Harlan tuade powerful speech on slavery, highly logical ftnd philosophical in itt character. Disaffection amoog tbe Democrats lo Increasing. Tbe Statft this evening bas another arll-ce against Lecompton. It la sustained in the course it is taking by maoy Soutberuers beie, who admit tbat the game ia lost io Kansas. Secretary Stsutoo ol Kansas is here. He eays that ths frauds at tbe recent election in Kansas were monstrous, and tbat the evidence of tbem is overwhelming. Robert J, Walker Is slao here. Tbe President's letter to him on the question ot the submission ot tbe Kansas Constitution is even more decided thin ibe newspapers bave aserl-ed. It declares that tbe lunaumental principle of a devocratio government requires thai a Constitution be submitted for aubjuction or rat-iocs lion to tbe popalar vote. Tbe whole letu-r will probably soon make its appearance in print. The Republicans in Congress will oppose any increase ot the standing aimy, though they will vote supplies aud voluuteers for the Utah war. HOUSE OF RttPRLSbNTATlVKS. WKONRsutr, Jan. 27, 1858.
