House of Representatives, February 7
ELECTION OF PRESIDENT.
The house having resumed the consider**
tion, in committer of the whole, of the rule
requiring the doors of the house to be closed
during the balloting tor president, and the
particular question being on ? motion to*
strike out that part of the rule which requires
the galln-iet to be cleared ul the request of any
one state ?
Mr. Makcum said, that, when the
committee rose the other day, as he
presumed for his persqppl accommoda
tion, he had well nigh concluded the
remarks which it was his intention to
submit on this subject. He felt deep,
ly sensible of the polite attention of the
committee, and the best return in his
power to make for their kindnea* was
to refrain from trespassing again too
tar on their patience.
This subject having already occupi
ed a disproportionate space of the time
of this house, he should not again take
up the argument, but only submit a
l<rw general observations, which he had
designed 10 offer on the former occa
sion. He knew full well the immense
advantage* which gentleman have when
they aodrcss themselves not to the un
derstanding and the judgment, but
moke ardent appeals to the prejudices
and passions ol the people. The peo
ple's lights, and the sovereignty of the
peopli ! ? '.he very finest and most popu
lar theme* for declamation! He felt the
great '*:ffi u It y ot being heard, coolly
and dispassionately, at the bar of rea
son. at the moment when the passions
are stimulated into tumult, and worked
up to a pitch of phrenzy.
In this country, as we have seen from
the foundation of the government,
whenever a new par'y was about to or
ganize itself, or a new faction about to
spring into existence, i;s vciy first
breatti was breathed in a holy and fer
vent love fur ihr f.ecf.:*. ii* ar^ot and its
devotion to the public wea!, transcend
ed only by the puri'V and disintcrcs'ed
nc?s ot its motives. 1 confess, sir, that 1
have lived loop enough to distrust these
ardor*. When I see the frosts of age
dissolving tinder the warm Rowings in
cident to youth, and the fiatriot of sixty
entering the lists with the very flower and
chivalry of the land, enueavo< irg o out
Mi ip thein in demonstrations ul lovr and
devotion to ihe people, 1 bigin to look
ahmit me; for I fear mischief, or suspect
trach' ry. 1 need not reter you omy to
our ?wn history, hut the history of
other countries, and other ages, disclo
ses I he fact, that many of the bloodiest
tyiants that ever disgraced humanity,
be^an their career by fawning on the
people, and sedulously and assiduously
courting their f. vor,
It has been remarked by the gentle*
man from South Carolina, that all sove
reign poNver resides in the people,
and that every agent in authority must
act in obedience to that will. The ab
stract proposition is evidentJy true;
but the difficulty arises in the applica
tion of it to the case in hand, lluw is
the will ol the people to be ascertained?
Is it to he derived from the county
meetings, town meetings, publications,
and :utnor>? Are ?c to resort to these
loose, unsatisfactory, and contraditoiy
indications of the public will? Or, shall
we lev.rt to the constitutional indica
tion ? -to that expression which h..s been
made through lagitimate organs? It the
latter, it is apparent that a large ma
jority have v< led against either of the
cadidatrs. W hat, then, is our duty ? I
would again answer, to select according
to the best rtirtates of our understand
ing". And vet, s3ys tho gentleman, tins
doctrine is too strong for revolution
aiy l ranrc, U nonlfl have been re
pudiated under the rri^n of Napoleon.
Sir. M.s-od it was ? iiitle curious to re
mat k thn sti iking coincidence between
the early pio'essu ns oi Bonaparte, and
will) which we are now daily sa
luted. lie cwuld hope that a coin
cidence should never he made to exist
to ?hiH country, in any other respect. I
1'rr wlmi was the s? rpipl in the cave ot
Napolvoft? Thou oh his first U.ve was
the love of the peo| lr, and though he
t lowed with the pmfoundest repect to
their will, yet he flittered, he coaxe-l,
aod hr lourtrd thini, until he placcd
his foot upon tnejr ne< ks, and crushed
iHeir liheittcs with the n?ost fru^htlul
mnitaty Jtspi ti?m thi?t the woilcl ever
^atv,
This is the n tturnl order of thirds in
a free .jovei nrncht, to hc<in a jacobin
ami end a yr<nt. We are told we must
bow to the will ol the people. 1 g'Snt
it. lint I vhall |ot>k for the indications
of thai will to a source which i ?? uner
ring? tu the constitutional indication of
it. It is furious to remaik hi?w deter
live this //oor tnttrml constitution of
ours is according to genth men's ro
tinns of re*pons,hility. Tiny sa'> we
inu?i voie with the pc??ple, ( > hat pro
pi- 's and yet the coiisii'uiion i?o ?i n
? fees to ' i v rue mode qI vo'?m^ Ii) I rf.'< f, in
the exercise of which, the Tote of each
delegation roay be profoundly locked up
in their own bosoms, and no human
eye, not even the Argtis eye of jealousy
itself, can detect ior whom that dele
gation voted. There are four states in?
the uniou, represented, in this house,
each, by one member. Those gentle*
men, according to the rules established
on a former occasion, and according tot
the rules reported on thi?, may hidflf
their secret from all the world, if the/
choose. They have nothing to do bat t<9
make their duplicate ballots, and drop
one into each box, among 23 other votes;
and how are their ballots to be known,
to be identified? Mow docs this comport
with gentlemen's notions? How defec
tive is the constitution according to their
view?! Instead of requiring the mem
bers to vote in a manner to prevent thf
the practice of fraud and deceit, that
same constitution becomes " fiartice/ii
criminia ," by throwing the manth o*ef
deeds of darkness and crime, by shield
ing them from exposure to the ven
geance of disappointed ami ition, or tbe
scorn and hatred of a betrayed coun
try.
There have been some politicians sil
ly enough to imagine that the framers
of the constitution looked alar off, and
either dreamed or believed that occa
sions might arise, when this provision
would be found most salutary, that the
safety of the republic might depend up
on the ignorance of the tyrant where to
dircct his blows.
For myself, however, I hope, said
Mi. M. that I may be permitted to
say that I hate mystery ? I hate ull con
cealments in the discharge of a pub
lic duty; and shall be one of (he last to
shrink Horn the severest sc rutiny into
the manner in which I may have dis
charged it. I would acorn the use of the
manle.
I advert to these considerations with
a view of showing with how many dif
ficulties this subject is beset, and how
arduous would be the task ol liaming
a theory, according to gentlemen's
views, that would harmonize in its prac
tical operations with constitutional pro
vions on the subject.
Sir, it seems to me that the true con*
cepti??n of the Cramers of the constitu
tion is this; that the representatives in
this house would come immediately
from the people ? they are pari ol the
pr opl??? pi CMiirnd <o No men of somo
chaiacter, connected with the coma>u*
nity fro?? which they emanate ty a thou
sand ties; character, love of respect, fa
mily, children, a common interest, a com
mon destiny; in a *oH, identified with
that community in habits, feelings, sen
timents, &c.; and, that when the re*
suit, ?o tnuch to he depre< ated, of the
presidential elet^on being cast upon
this house, shall haj>flen, that all these
ties and considerations form a suffi
cient guarantee that a wise, honest,
and judicious selection will be made.
This view, I think, said Mr. M. i* con
formable with the theory of the con
stitution.
What are contemporaneous exposi
tions of the constitution on this subject?
In the woik entitled the Federalist?
a woi k written by some of the ablest
men who were in the convention, and
which is resorted to by the ablest con*
stitutional lawyers, as high and grave
authority, I find the following opin*
ion:
?? Hut as a majority of votes might
not always happen to centre in ono
man, and as it might be unsafe to per
mit less than a majoity to be conclusive,
it is provided, that in each ca?e, tho
house of representatives shall select out
of the candidates, who shall have tho
five (now changed to 44 three,") highest
number of vote, the man x i<hoy in their
opinion ?, rt.ay be beat qutified."
Anil yet, it is said, that these doc
trines would be odious in revolutionary
France ? they are too strong for tho
rei^n of Napoleon.
Such ate some of thediflicultil# into
which i?entlemen arc deluded and be
wildered by an overweening attach
ment to their new born iheorirs ? theo
ries that hjvc sprung into life from a
hiam highly excitcd by political con*
tcM* ? theiories tbat are cherished with
all the love that the mo her bestows on
her ru krtty bantling.
But, sir, if these theories mav not be
dcductd from the Inter of the constitu
tion, may they not result from the phi
losophy ol the conslituMon of which we
have i.catd in thin dehot? ' Yes, sir, the
fihtlotef'hy of the constitution! That phl

government with that Muprndou* pow
