In the ilouac of Commona, on the 16lh of
December, on a resolution to repeal the genrral
ticket law, and reatnre the dialrict ayatciay-nr.
Ata Deal, of Iredell, made the following ipeech :
Mr. Speaker: It is with no ordina.
ry degree of embarrassment that I rise
to make 1 few remarks on the resolu
tion which I some days since had
the honor to submit to the consider,
tioo of this House.
The resolution has for its object the
repeal of a law which provides lor the
clectioo of Electors for a President and
Vice-President of the United States by
a general ticket, aod in lieu .thereof to
restore the district principle. In do
ing this I trust I hare been influenced
by the purest. principles of republican
ism as well as believing it to be the de
sire of my constituents, and not only
those whom I have the honor to repre

Cited, via. to tle introduction of ars
tocracy and monarchy into our coin-
try f Here indeed, air, are the few
governing the many. I venture to siy
that under the present law, not one
half of the people of the State know
the day on which the election for elect
ors is to take place. In the county
to which I reside, there are but few
votes given on that occasion. At two
separate elections, where 291 votes for
ntmbir of the legislature were taken,
as I have been credibly informed, there
were but 17 given for electors at the
election for that purpose. Does not
this clearly show how little interest
the people take in that election. Per
mit me here to introduce a quotation
from the speech o( Mr. Pickens in
Congress, when on the subject of the
uniformity of elections ; this gentle
man savs, " In elections by the people,
in single districts, thr candidates will
be well known to the voters j they can
best judge by their own knowledge
who may be entitled to their -confi
dence. The choice flows most dirert-
ly from the people, who need no dit-

are necessary to preserve the purity of
ur elective franchise, and an attach

do not hesitate to say that the act of
1811 wrested directly from the people
their highest privilege, . and, in my
opinion, was an infraction of the Con
stitution of the United States; and
particular!) the second article of the
aecond section, which says, "Each
State s hull appoint, in such manner as
the Legislature thereof may direct, a
number of electors equal to the whole
number of Senators and Representa

tied in the Congress. When the tra
iners of that Constitution used the
words " each state," they had an eye,
-t to-the geographical situation otihe
State, but to the people t consequently
the people composing the State were
to elect the Electors in auch way or
manner as might be prescribed by the
Legislature, For instance, it is the
province of the Legislature tc direct
the time, place and manner of holding
elections for that purpose. But, air,
what effect did the passage of that law
produce upon the public mind? It was
productive of .al most universal di saai
isfaction, as.was abunttanfly ;eidMc.t;
by . the protests of .many of the Grand
Juries of the different counties through
out the State j and not only this, many
of those who voted for its passage, and
were candidates at the succeeding
election, were not re-elected, and some
to my knowledge have never since
been able to obtain a seat on this floor'.
and a necessity for caucussing no long
er exists. I will venture to say, that
there is not a gentleman on this floor,
but who will concede that the principle
for w hich I contend is the most repub
lican, the most correct. Yet they
will oppose it, because, they know that
it is not so convenient to subserve their
views 1 and this is the true reason why
they contend that the policy is not
good. But they say that policy and
expediency require a continuation of
the general ticket law, as a retaliatory
measure on those States which elect ia
the same way. 1 would say to gen
tlemen, if other States see proper to
take from the people their dear bought
liberties, is that any argument why
the State of North-Carolina should
deprive her cititens of their rights i

Philadelphia, one of the Physicians of

ded on his observation and that of Drr
John Bell, which exhibits very strong
ly the value of Vaccination as a pro
tection against the fatal e fleets of this
disease, although it shov s at the same
time, that it does not entirely prevent
the recurrence of the disease. The
statement embraces 148 casea of small
pox, or varioloid,- which have occurred
at Philadelphia. Of these, 48 occur
red in persons who had previously had
the vaccine disease, and no one died.
Eight cases occurred in persons who
had previously had the small pox, and
of this number four died. The other
ninety-live cases occurred in persons
who had previously had neither dis

recovered. Two of the persons who
