what political madman ever ..dreamed
that those electors bad any right either
to inUrucLor cccsacclbe J'residcni?
But are we the conatitucnts of the Se
in the most unqiialifjed terms. What
says the Federal Con.titatiin? That
each State shall be entitled to two Se
nators, to be elected by tht Legisla
tures, thereof. Sir, the Senators re
present the State the sovereign people
of Nottll Carolina, and , when : I peak
thus, I cpcak in the words of tlie, Con

The proposition need only Jo be stated,
to be laughed to scorn. . . .
Sir, I put this case to those vli.i Sup
part the first resolution, which asserts
in broad terms this right, and I rail
,upon them to answer it: Pupptise the
Senate, sitting as a court of impeach
ment, under f he solemn obligations re
qnired 'by, the CStnstiintion,; andyour
Senators express an opinion or give a
vote, in the propriety and r orrertness
of which the wiienmen of Ibis body do
not concur. I ask, can it "be pretend-j
ed that this L Iregtsutore lias right to
interfere in the slightest degree with
the high judicial duties of their t tationr
have always been l iborlng under a de
lusion up m this subject, and L nm ut

Is that the object of these resolutions?
