SPECIAL MESSAGE. To the Honorable the Genrul Assniihff of the Hale of JSorlli.L'urolina. The meeting of tho Legislature affords a fit occasion for tho expression of deep-felt gratitude to an all-wiso Providence for the many blessings bestowed upon us as a Re- public, as a State, and as a People. With the advice of tho Council of State, it was deemed absolutely necessary to call a meeting of the General Assembly, at an earlier day than was provided for the reg- ular meeting thereof, for tho purpose of having legislative action iu relation to the election of Electors of President and Vice President of the I'nited Stuf.es. This ne- cessity urose iu conseiUeiico of tho action of Congress apportioning the Members of the Hoiih-of Representatives aiming the several States, according to the Census of by which the State of North Caroli- na will be entitled to only ten Electoral votes, while tho present Act of Assembly provides for the election of eleven Electors. The eoniuiuiiicatiou of the Executive to the Council of State, and the proceedings of that body thereon, and tho Official Certificate of the Secretary of the Interior in relation to the apportionment under the Seventh Cell- sus, are herewith transmitted. Laying off the State into districts would impose the necessity on the people of niak- ing new nominations of candidates for Elee- tors ; which, for want of sufficient inU-rvc- ning time, would operate very inconvenient- ly at the ensuing election. It is therefore recommended that an Act be passed provi- ditiU for tho election, mi the Tuesday fter the first Monday in November next, of ten Electors of President and ice President ; that the existing law prescribing the rpiul- ifieatiou of voters, the manner of holding the election and making returns, as well as the penalty imposed lor illegal voting, be continued in force. 'I'll,, i 'nn.l tl ..I n hindirni h.i Snnfll.iri ill districts to lie laid off bv tho General As . .... . .......... semhly " at its first session atter tho year one thousand eight hundred and fifty-one," and that the apportionment of the Hou'e of Commons shall be made bv the General As. sembly at the respective periods when the districts for the Senate are directed to In laid off. In regard to amendments to the Constitu tion btr legislative enactment, it is provided in the Constitution, that, " If, after such pub lication, the alteration proposed by the pre ceding tieneral Assembly shall be agreed ti), in tlie first sestnn tlirrenjtrr, Py two j . . , , ,, , , ,,.,,.,.,; ; ., I 1 use of the General Assembly, after th same shall have been read three times ou three seier.il days in each lloue, then the said tieneral Assembly shall prescribe a mode by which the amendment or amend ments may be submitted to the qualified vo- . - . w i 1.1 ,i. t : i iJ....,.ii .i , a(lllt t,u pourBO wlt.
