We stand here as repre- sentatives of the whole state, and whatever we do here is for the benefit of the whole state, is for the benefit of every tov.m in the state, directly or indirectly. Something has been said here by the gentleman from Concord, Mr. Mitchell, and by others of the veneration we should have for the present Constitution, because it was built by the fathers. I maintain that we show no disrespect to the fathers if we can improve the document, considering our conditions and envir...onments, which are different from what they were at the time the Constitution was made. The gen- tleman from Concord, Mr. Mitchell, said that the fathers were confronted by the same conditions that confront us to- day. I beg leave to differ with him. The inequality of rep- resentation then was not such as now. There was no city in the state. Manchester was not in existence. Concord was a country village, smaller in size than Hopkinton, and Ports- mouth was the principal town of the state. Gentlemen admit here, one after another, that the district system is a system of equality and justice, and if we had to construct a Constitution, if we had to build anew, we should build on the district system.
