[opinion of S.J. Court]
the public burthens [?] than is born by the more recently settled and thinly inhabited parts. And, as in regulating, equalizing and determining the valuation of the State, in pursuance of Article 9th, Sec. 7th of the Constitution, no regard is to be had to the relative increase of polls and estates ; so in apportioning the Senators, no regard is to be had to the relative increase pf population. For, however, between the periods of enumeration or valuation, the polls and estates may have relatively increased, the apportionment of taxation, continues unaltered & the same. but we advert to this provision of the Constitution, respecting the apportionment of the Senate, merely with a view of establishing and illustrating this position, that as the words "having regard to the relative increase of population" are omitted, when speaking of the apportionment of the House, they must, where inserted, have been inserted with design.
