Jtinc 1:. S'.'-df % SPEECH OF MR. SMITH OF N. C ov The proposition to amend the Constitution so as to establish an uniformity in Uic mode of electing Elector* and Representatives to Congress. In the House' of Representatives, Mr Chairman: The resolution be fore us is one of more than ordinary im portance. It proposes nothing less t':an to amend that instrument which, to eve ry American, must i tc considered the palladium of his liberty ? the Constitu tion ot thr United Stales; and a part of it, too, which the citizen ot a republic should esteim Ur the mo-?t valuable and inipoitant ? I mean that part wivch re gulates the elective franchise. Sir, I am aware of tiie ground on which I stand. ! am aware of the ma? ni'.ude o! the subject bolorc mr. l*h j : 'he p<-oplc of these states nave, for Irs instrument, thr most devoted atiach nu-nt and profound rcvcrcnce, must be olwious tn the most superficial observ i 1 'iey view it as the mjtt nob'c woik ?>| their ancestors, and r**c?y attempt that niav be made to aUer c-r amend tl, excite ais'?".'st or jealousy. But, sir, every tfay's experience ichc* es us tl?c frailty and imperfection of all human productions. When we take a retrospective vie* of the works ol iuao? we cannot deny the vast improvements that have been made in science, in ini chanics, and io every dcpaftnir-ni of hu man industry. \Vc loyk lock wtt i astonishment at the vap,t ,d visio?uir) theories that were, in tl? ?r ? a>. consi dered th^* most happy **fli ? > '.uman genius. Although I b#litr ? " Mat this constitution sur passed all oii?.r t ons i tutions, as far as the su*' docs, in splen dor, the smallest star in the heaven: yet I am compelled to believe that it is ca (table of amendment. 1 ain not one of those that believe thar our fathers had inorc virtue and talents tnanthe present gene ration. ' I admire the polui' at sa gacity ol the wise men nlio fiamcd the constitution of the United States; unii it there is any thing about it that excites surprise, it is, -hat tnc work should have been at that da> made as perfect as it is. When we view that thing called a great man, at a distance, he .ippears to us as a giant; but as you approach him, you fu?d Ihim 0*1 tiidlt down to a pit?my; lik<* the distant ' o izoi., h< appears above us, aitO' Mnh we may occupy a point much mot t < evated than the one to which our tjrsari (iireited. 1 11 1 1 cone iii'ig the various and con flicting int?srcsis ol thirteen states, dissi milai i . Climate, population, and extent oitemitorVf the convcniionahsts had a difficult task to perform; and, being themselves conscious tha? the instru mcnt would acfjnirc amendment, they piovided a way bv which it might be amended in part, without submitting the whole to the discretion of a convention.' ll the proposition before you propos ed the adoption of a new principle, I should be ready to shrink from t>o^> r i.icious and dangerous an undertaking. Hut, such is not the fact. It onty goes to itguiate established principles, and to replace them upon a ground more con geiiai with the true spirit anil genius of republican government. Nearly all the states in the Union have exercised me privilege- of the elective ir nchise, at some one period, in the way now pointed out in the resolution on your table. I I ih amendment proposes mat ea? o state sh.ill he laid out into as many dis tricts as such state shall be entitle*4, un d?r the constitution and laws of the United S'utes, to elect representative* to congrcss, and that cn?"h disttict shall, as nearly as can, he composed ? .'conti guous territory, and the same district shall elect one e!ct tor to vote for presi dent of the United States, and for vice president. The other two electors to which cat h state shall he entitled, shall be electcd \j } the states, in such manner as the legislatures thereof shall direct. I am aware that we shall be told that this constitution docs not require any amendment; that it is Rood enough, and that, under it, the people have enjoyed, to the fullest extent, their liberty; that it had gunled us through peace and war, for thirty-two years past; and that, un der it, the nation lias grown great and powerful. This is true, and the reason for it may be sought and found in the people themselves. Such a brave, high minded, and virtuous people, unhatk ncyed in the intrigues and vices of fo reign countries and foreign court*, could I have got'oti on almost without the lorni of .* w i it t e 11 constitution. Ami it is true, that, at this day, when all is calm and tranquil a. the morning, w l.? n then arc no parties in hostile ar ray against cscli other; th.it the reason ings t'iM would in other days, and at other tunes, of patty rajjc and violence, have had g/cat influence and effect on the minds .?f men, h ?v<? now but little or l)'* tflect And it v? il' be runiurilcU, no ' doubt, by those that arc opposed to *ny amendment, that, if thfcre is ever a ne cessity of amending this instrument, the day is very remote. Sir, we all view danger at a great dis tance from u with perfect indifference; but the most hardy amongst us begin to feel its effects as it approaches near to us. Nothing can constitute a moi c im portant quality in a state -man than that uc should have political sagacity to see danger threatening I. is country at a dis tance, and skill to provide, before its ap prn.ii h, the means of averting it. If, then, there is any defcct to be found in litis instrument, why should wo not ap ply the remedy at this time? Do gentle men i-xpect that a more favourable mo ment can ever present itself? As before hinted, there was a time when many of the state* in this Union acted on the plan now propose i, t. om the?r o*vt?- #eru- of proprie'v But as soon as parties of different political c .a ract- rs iegan to spring up, and when the two gro^t contending fartu s, rhat have for ?ome years agitaied the min is of the people so much, had formed themselves unrler then respective lead ers, and had put tnemseives in hostile ariav against each otner; and when the .r oiliest for power and ascen 'ancy was ? yet tloubt ful, i ach party, anxious to aug leni its scope of influence, lost no op p.sr: unity to make every thing yield that uid ne made to fi< Id, to their ambi tious views: W'tcn it uas ascertained tha: one party had a few hundred votes ot a majority i< a state, that party would resort to tnat mode of electing electors thai would promise most effectually to stiflr the voice 01 the minority, and at th: sjine Mine give the grca'.esi inuio j iiy <:i tavuui of tne dominant party. No oilier considerations than these, seemed to nave had any iuflue.ice on the minds of the respective leader* throughout that arduous struggle. Bui now. when things have resumed their usual ciian nel, and when the minds of men are left free, and can be ac.ed upon by reason, and a sense of justice an'l propiiety, wny mould ? e noi rontider, c-?olly and dis passionately, whether .his amendment m.g.v not, with safety, l>c made? In changing from i/nc system to an other, .'"or tin* purposes just enumerated, givat Weal and couiuVmn wa>> often ge nerated. The stale of Pennsylvanian, in one of those great s rubies, eaine ve iv near losing her entire vote; tiie le gislature was r.early equaliy divided, ana the contest doubtful: in that case each patty had to make the best bargain that they could. N av, in a struggle of this kind, the voice ot the people was not heard, nor their wishes consulted. The leadeiH of each party wcie dung, in tair bargain an sale, the best they could R?t their own interest, toge'her with that o? their friends; and we inuui c ?K ulate upon more than the ordinary scopc of human impc fiction witi justt fy, if wt may not suppose that this stau oi things will again occur, and continue to recur, so long as it shall lie iiit in the power of thr s'.atc legislatures to change from one mode to another, as their in terest may dictate at the moment. Massachusetts, at one time, for the put pose of iffccti:ig her purpost in the presidential election, divided hcrsclt in to districts to suit .he .sectional . csidence of the dominant party; districts wer< made of territory not contiguous; towns were added that were in tnc pafts oi" other districts. I remember the shape of those districts were so Miig'jlar that tiicy ^ave to them the n.unt ol (jerry manders, and callcd the n:W mode of districting CJi rrymandering. 1 h? siatc ol New Jersey elcctcij T>y pener.il ticket, but, just before a presi dential election, the legislature of the state met, and finding, tiat, il the elec tors were chosen by ge?eral ticket, the vote would not be sucl as would pler.se tlicm, they repealed 'lie law, and, at once, proceeded to nke the power into their own hands, sod chose such from among themselves as promised to serve their views, ('an there be stronger evi dence than this of the defect of such a system? In this case, the people ol New Jersey had no inorc to do in that elec tion, and thrir voice was as little heard as was that of thr citizens of Canada. At the time of voting for representatives the voter never dreamt of such a result; he supposed that, at the proper time, he would agaut give Ins vote k?r electors. Sir, these arc so many avenues left open to intrigue, fraud, and corruption, and, if they arc not made the common pass-ways of the day, it i? because the inducements to travel them arc, at this time, not sufficiently strong. The chief executive office of this great ami growing republic is a very impor tant one. An ?.ffice of great trust and of great patronage; ami so guarded should the road to that office be, that none pass thereto without b? ing able to show a passport from the people themselves ?from a majority of ail the peopl- . But, sir, under tin picsent system, it is possible, by a spe its ol league <>1 oar gain and sale, to plas* * pciwn in tlis high oficc, who shall only have ths votes of three-tenths u' the people, con trary to tlie wishes and the interests of * seven-tenths of the people of the United States. I will, to make myself understood, il lustrate this in this way: Sup*>obC that the parties that we have had m thia country still < xisted, and were known by the same names of federalists^iud repub licans, and that the patties incvch of the states <*f Massachusetts) New-York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Noith Ca rolina, should be equal, or nearly so to the federalist', having a very small ma jority in each state; now, by the general tickect plan, or hy th~ plan of electing electors by the legislature, each ol those states ca>> g*ve the whole number to which they arc emiiled, for the federal candidates. The number of senators in the 22 states is 44; the number of repiesmta tives is 186? making, in all, 230; whicji would be the whole numix r ol vote-. giv en for a president: a majority of 230 m 1 16, which happens to, be c.ractly the number of votrs to whirh the five stales abov? mentioned are entitled. Now, sup pose that every man in the seventeen slates not mentioned, should he repub lican, and nearly one half of the frYu states enumerated republican also; does it. not appear clearly that seven-tenths arc defeated by three-tenths of the peo ple ? Again, the census of 1810 gave the population of the U. States at 7,500.000 The five lai ge states have one half of that number, say ."?,7 50,000; now, as the federal majority was a bate majority in these ata e*, *h ic will be only hi thost: stales 1 ,870,00 J federalists who will have elected i tie president, to the exclu sion of a candidate having; the united voi> e of seventeen staus^and almost a* majority of the other five, and against the voice oi 6,6.'0.000 of the people. Tnis is actual demonstration; there is no deception in it. Is it then a good system that can admit of such abuses as might thus be practised? That the ma jority shall rule is the \ital principle of all republics. Hut, sir, that principle does not seem to be secured by the pre sent mode. But gentlemen will say that this i? an extreme case, not likely to occur. I admit that it is an extreme case, and, though ii might not occur cx acily in the form here pointed out, yet it may occur, with some ? modification and the eftr-ct would be aoout the?4ti|H May not the Jay come when irf"cn at tempt* may be madi ? Sir, wc hjf^seen, during the short existence dl i re public, attempts made w^wrt the very spirit and meaning cf the cot"i Mil lion, and in regard to ihe election of 'he chicf magistrate too 1 allude to lit? first clec'ion of Mr. Jcffcrson. Aaron Burr was run at the same tun ? for vice president, and the number ??f votes >?jh equal. The ? onttitution wa? not su'fi ciently definite on th tt su >ject; no ?'ij tinction was required in the vou and the friend ?> ol B.irr contended that hl.t elaim was equal to that of Mr. JelV.r son to the presidency; and the hou? ; of representatives had to proce J to ,>a! lot, according to the mode point' d on', iii the constitution, for a president, and it was not u^ul 35 separate ari l distinct ballotings lu'i taK''n piace, that a ctioics was made. Now, sir, in that case it was notorious ihat not one man had voted for Burr with the view of m iking hint president. But, if that defect had been pointed out previous to that tinic, the ad voc st cs lor t he constitution, without any amendment, wo il:l have cried out I that it was an extreme case, and not likely to ocr nr. I he people learn from experience. No sooner did this occurrence take place tlun the people did resolve to amend the constitution, so as to j-utrd in fuiuxe against *urh occurrences and u'j'.li abuses. One of the strong arguments used against the proposed amendment is, that it is interfering with state rights. Tin large sta;-s may he deprived of some of their power and influence in the gr neral government, and stales are like individuals; they dislike to parfwi'h cny portion of thvir power, h is to he re gretted that there should have been such a want of equality in the size and popu lation of the states. If tliey had been about the same size, we would have but little state jealousy, compared with what we have at this duy, and the only inr thod that I tan discover to remedy t i* evil, is by adopting the amendment pro posed. At tins day it is the interest of the laiijc states, they contend, to retain til this influcnrc.* It is true, that the Urge states may, by a kind of bargain ing, obtain some more than a due pro* portion of the offices uf the general go vernment; but this is but little calculat ed to make the eonditi m of the great mass of the people happy, it may suit the vu-,?s r,f a few a*, .rir? men. , hut it is at all times difficult to per suade men that the h?\e in their htn.N m.Jrc t'.an a due proportion oi power and /..flucnr, cr. it you can make ihcni.
