 justice. I suggest that both these principles of territory and population 

 shall be invoked in the solution of this question, and that when our lands 

 are to be divided between the States pro rata, the basis of it shall be 

 both population and territory ; that one-half shall be^ro rata according 

 to population or representation, and the other half according to area of 

 territory. This may not, in all possible cases, produce exact justice and 

 right, but it will approximate it as nearly as human law can attain any 

 o'^ect.
