an amendment of the constitution of the

throughout the states.
In providing for the election of Presi
dent and Vice President by the interven
tion of electors, the consiitutioi had re
moved it one degree from the people
themselves, and in adopting the mode by
which the electors should be chosen, he
hotild prefer that which wsuld be most
likely to produce the same 'esult, as if
the ultimate vote were exercsed directly
by the people. This he tluugl.f was to
be attained by establishing the ditrict
principle. It was also to bi preferred,
from its tendency to secure i more gen
eral vote, by inducing the psople to feel
and exercise a deeper intenst in the re
sult of the election. Hut when called up
on by the general ticket pfan, to vote for
fifteen electors, situated h different and

must be entirely unknown,even by name,

be found to join in the support of that
candidate who would not hjve been the

free and uninfluenced by a caucus nomi

with tbe gentleman from Beaufort that
the preamble and resolutions, now before
I he house, were merely designed to have
an effect unmi the candidates for the Pre
idency. Me did not so consider the qups
tion, but regarded it as one that had an
immediate reterence to an important con
stitutional principle, and thought that the
adoption of tbe resolutions would go to
censure and condemn a practice which,
in its exercise, has an alarming tendency
oa usurpation of the rights of the people
by making the election of ' President a
mere matterof bargain and sale, bvfunau
thorized individuals as Washington city.
The gentleman from liowan,' in open
ing this discussion, had expressed a wish
to-modify"the-resolutionsr so as-to- make
them more generally acceptable to the
house ; but this opportunity, for the pre
sent, had been denied him by the very
unparliamentary motion of the gentleman
from Halifax. Should that gentleman's
motion Tail, the friends of the resolutions
will so amend them, astd make them
convey a mere expression of the opinion
of this general assembly on the practice

we are asked, have we to dictate to our
senators and reprtflenfalive
Lonutfernsjphe resolutions as they now
stand, and unconnected with the propo
sed modification. Mr. S. observed, he
did not consider them as holding any
thing of a dictatorial tone, but as respect
fully conveying'that ' instruction and re
quest which the legislative assemblies of
our ownj ans! biher states, have frequently
port lor President. But gentlemen may
rest assured that such had not been, nor
would it be, the practical result : The
people have, and will continue to require
some knowledge or proof of the integrity
and abili'y of the individuals whom they
are rolled upon to employ as (heir agents,
in a business of so much importance.
Mr. S. concluded by remarking, that he
should vote against the motion for indefi
nite postponement ; and if it did not pre
vail, he hoped lo see the resolutions so
amended, as to make them agreeable to
all who were friendly to the princinle

that it is not only the right, but the duty

recurs to the claims of Andrew Jackson,

of an address will scarcely permit us to
sketch the outlines oftiis civil and milita

field, but commencing with boyhood, has
strengthened with increasing years.
