J0a Tuesday last the Ljpsiaiure"convened
m this place. A quorum of both IJoutesap
peared.. The Council made, choice of, Ebenef
zerjSeeley, Eiq. for. Vice President, and tht
MsttnWjrQVLewfctyndxt, Esq. Speaker;

lature stand as .atated iivour last-la "democra
tic majority of 6: in the lAsieijLandU4n-
Councu-AU the members returned by tne
duterentctanties appeared and took, their seats
On the, first day of, the Sitting a committee"
was appointed by thejlousie of Assembly, con
5isingf Messrs.: Parker, KLerr and Garrison,
td enpe into the validity o.the law passed
atJtbi lastvSessmn 'of the liCgislatu'-e. for the
choice of Electrs pf president ana Vice-Pre-8idintof,the
United States and Members of
Congress.. This committee we are informed,
ftWevd.10 report a bill touspend the Election
for a Te days, fai order that the appointment
tiLEleclors might coma within the time pTe
Bcribed by the act' of Cong'risss regulating the
fcfoon of ElecLors but,, on. the following
' xnmtiing. the democratic mt mbers of the com
tuittce refused to report the bill agreed upon,
ifid-.ihinjfsT)rought, before the House
-ponv-iTiaf'-85'ect till the afiernoon, when
jr. Parker movtd that the committee might
lie discharged. This motipn was opposed by
Sietnaiority "nd negatived. . A motion "was
ttien made oy one 01 inc ousscx uacgauuii w
I three more member to the committee.
A debate ensued, and after some discussion,
this motion, wassuperceded by anpthtr to add
four mtmbers, which was carried.
This committee,which may justly be styled,
as it was undoubtedly intended, the Committee
ttfoiiivionfas made no report, and on Friday,
motion of Mr. Kenedy, the hoiite adjourn
ed, till Monday, so that all chance of taking a
ry measures relative to. the Election was
tbirtby done away. .
,the sape day (Wednesday) Mr. Frelipg
huy'sen movd for leave, in Council, to present
a bill to amend the law passed-at the last ses
sion for the chei'ce of Electors, fcc. the object
t which was to direct the; judges- of Election
iivthc respective Election districts in the
Sfate,, to continue the pplls open three days
instead-of. two, so that the time of chusing
Electors might brought within that spec'i
lied by the. act of Congress. This was nai
W by. the democratic majority in Council and
tlte-bill -vowft.ffrf.Hethen-Te
duced his motion to writing, explanatory of
his views, and the entry of this motion on the
Journals was oflfiosed. The chair, however,
decided, as a point of order, that the motion
iriust be entered ou the Journals, :
The proceeding above Istateu have develop
ed the views of the, party in poer.--The
choice of Electors of the Peofde through the
defect in the law of the last session, and, the
rtusdl of -the present Legislature to remedy
that defect, is thtfi-eby rendered a mere nullity.
' Hence it appears that after ntt the parade
that has been made by the ruling pat ty, that
i was the ifhmrdiate right tf ike fieoik to
Choose the Electors, and the duty of the Le
gislature to make provision for the eaercise of
that right, it has come to nothing. The, Elec
tors must rbfidfif.oinud h'j the- Legislature, or
their votes are 3 good for .nothing. So, that,
the Leglat;urei after subjecting the State to
all the expen.and loss of time of a separati;
, Election fraA ttlal which wks held the eleventh
' and twelfth" of'tlda tibntK, will still have he
' 'rpp in)-nent of Elector's in their own hands.
We are pleased to Sud that the committee
which prepared -and reported ;the Election
, law for the choise of Electors, 8cerwas ;xcl.u
si vels composed of demticrats -Messrs. Con-
AVer, Hankinson, and Varliorn ; lor, nad a
single federal mail been appointed upon' that
. committee, on our party, would have been
7 levied the ' whole censure of the blunder, if
we-, may judge from what ha heretoToi-e been
' the practice pf the democratic printer of this
place. JLIe has made it. a point to endeavour ;
to throw the odium of whatever act of the
Legislature he has , deemed unpopular, upon,
thefederal minority, as if that minority had
It n their power to. confront the majority,
and decide all questions winch -came before
the House. . v ' ' ' '
But what shall we say of the conduct of the
democratic majority these 'boasted "friends
of the I people trese m
. their professions'o? ' veneration ; for ht voice of
"f the ficoilci when havinc ihe' efinortunitv of
I' I-V-feiriy submitting' to the people thtrdecisjon.
--ao r ha retused-even to hear a bill read,
( making provision, for that objecjL -v,
?l-Had the' federalists cbmmirfhf sttch'an act.
' the clamoUi-s of democracv would : have been
' ' mI theobscurest cottage in the State--The de2!
.i' iv iect in the lav"would have been ascribed to a
rliili eettlrd design lo cfieat the fieofile out of their"
rights and a refusal to remedy that fleect,

That he tkrew behind hinvfederal votes whsn

concerned in the prosecution of this afFafr will
be zealous to do strict juslice to the violators

high time a signal example was made of the
perpetrators f such diabolical acts. '
