Tv these proceedings the question as to

and 'impressive manner. The loss .ot tjie

In the proars's of our jrovemment, the
practice has 5een 'gradually, changing; and
lnlater years the -disposition to change, has
heen perhaps increased. This has not aris
en from a' b elief in .the existence, of any.co.-
stltHtional Inhibition to the conCnuahce of
things as they are; but from various local
can?es. and from the natural tendencv of-all
i our constitutions to immefliate and direct elec
tions. - From such considerations the change
will probablv, at noVrtistant'day, become en
tire ; the electors will be everv whte chos-
rubv the people. Tlie nroorietv of this mo
dification must depehtl in a great measure
tiT.. no thf btneu of the time at which it is
proDOsed ; and the political situation of othei
; tattsaod ofthe whole.union, at the moment.
. V Tins is not a thing of passion, but of calm
and politic renectl6n. . It is not of so much,
moment that a change should be -effected,
"as that the character and influence of a
, st ite should bo preeryed;'or at least, that
5ts relative weig' t should not be "diminished.
Hence itxhas been frequently urged, in the
different states tliat when a parficular stnte
is so utuated as to be enabled to throw
i;s undivided v weight into 'the scale, a
change ought not o be made which mighi

have therefore the -best proof which: a long

can furnish, that a major.ty of every party m
the state has been satisfied with the law as it
now stands; and that the late attempts to
create an excitement,, have arisen in some
other motive than a" desire to promote the
wishes ofthe people, or to advance the pub

In the, course of these discuiSions, argu
ments as-ainst the adoption of any change

a great weight of talent, experience and pat
riotism.: One. of the earliest and broadest
distinctions between the federal and republi
can parties was the desire on the part oTthe
latter, to strengthen and-preserve the state
sovereignties ; and on that of the' former, to
enlarge the powers of the general govern
ment The republicans believing,, and we
thlnlc iustlv. that the exercise of the functions
of the state governments independently and
'distinctly, was necessary to the preservation
jof our liberties; and that the oppesite course,
by, contributing to the increase of the power
of the. national government, and to the con
sequent diminution of that of the states, would
Ultimately obliterate the state lines, an re
sult in a consolidation. It was-contended,
that the division ofthe electoral vote, would
necessarily lead to a removal of the state en
ticrty, (if we may so speak) and ultimately,
it was 'honestly, feared, to the results whioh
Were, in the early periods of our history, the
Causes of real apprehension to republicans.
And it has been further Urped, that the large
States as a protection against the unequal re
presentation and power Of the small states
should retain their present modes of ensuring
an undivided vote, at least until an uniform
system shall be established ; and especially
so long as an entire vote'is among the only
constitutional means by which a recurrence
to the house of representatives, (by which
the relative weight of the large states would
be wholly lost,) can be prevented. It was
Under these various views of the subject,
that the determination of the Senate,, after
the discussions during the last session, was
adopted. " . "
The elevation ot the democratic party thro'
t
he election of Mr. JerTerson, in 1800, has
proved to be a source of sure honor and pros
perity to the country; but it was at that
time, and it has continued to be, a cause of

ppw. ..It' was assailed at that time by the. di
rect opposition of. the- federalists single
handed, it is true, but J powerful and active
niartv. It was next assailed by a series of
coalitions between the federalists and portions
of the republican party, and from 1804 to
1812, resisted the attempts of the successive
factions, which were, known among us by
the characteristic designations of Burrites,
Lewisites and Quids and by all the, various
appellations which then, ' as now, it was the
fashion to. assume. During the period -to
which we liave alluded, including the sea
sons of the commercial Restriction and the o
perati"n ofthe measures which were deemed
essential to the jiist maintenance of our ncu
titil rights ; and, subsequently, duiinjj the
dirk period of the war, and its perilsand em
barrassments ; the opposition seemed to ac
quire new strength and hope. National de
pression and danger, seemea to elevate and
invicrorate them. And all the uses which
could be made' of the peculiar condition of a
suffering country, were combined with" the
attempts to overthrow the party which had
identified itself with the cause of that coun
try.' 'The war p issed away in triumph. And
forthwith new combinations under new
nAmes but composed of like materials, (the
old federalists the personal adherents of par:
titular individuals, -and disaffected republi
cans,)" were formed as a state party, against
the party of the country, and trom that time
down to" 1820, they were Ceaseless in their
efforts under all sorts of diseases - and by
all sorts of expedients, to prostrate the party
of the latter. Butjts energies were unth-ing,
and though sometimes weakened by partial
disafiections, it was unbroken by assault, and
came out of all the conflicts a triumphant and
rejmcng party. . .
fThese results were followed by the pro
ject fot a convention to amend the constitu
tion. The republicans were anxious 6 a-
dopt such modifications as should remedy
various defetts and remove those odious dis
tinctions which prevented a just and "equal
emovment of the "elective franchise. Year
after year the ; subject was. submitted to the
consideration of the ' legislature r; until a law
was finally passed. .It is a singular fact, that
the persons who for the gratification of a
? i i . ,i
particular ooject now, are mosi noisy aim
clamorous in an affected display of zeal for
the people, were; then .the opponents of this
law, -ami attemptea to procure xne l cjecuou
of it by the council of revision. But it re
ceived the approval of that body, was every
where approved by the people, and the con
int5nn was held- fin it. the . same spirit
Which' has urged the rejection of the bill in
)the council, opposed all the propositions tor
the extension of the popular rights. The
same partisans who now-, profess so ' large a
love for ?the people," attempted then to
resist their wishes ; and the men whom tliesc
new friend of republicanism decry and daily
vilhTy, introduced; advocated and sustained',
against all opposition, the- popular features
which now adorn o.ur constitution. That in
strument was approved by the voice of near
ly a whole people $ and the party, which had
'accomplished it, was placetUipon such high
ground to seem free from all future daii
ger. . .V - - - . .
- For a season, opposition was sileced. The
attempt was made to create the belief that
it was extinguished. Jmmediajely a new
system of attack was adopted the p'rovisions
of the new constitution were affectedly ac
quiesced in, the abolition of all party dis
tinctions was industriously, proclaimed and
the. election of Governor Yates was'permitted
to take place without opposition. . The .re-,
suit was followed by strong and simultaneous
efforts to induce republicans to throw down
their defences to yield their system of rcgu-

This state of things was too inviting to be
overlooked or pased bV. The natural and
customary opposition to the Republican par
tv embraced it. v- It was the sifrnal for a se
ries of new operations against the integrity of
that party. The choice, ot eJectors was a io
rt uvoitf tn hppnmp. a nomilar one. Bv such
nsf n tlm Onnositlon. who suddenly assum
ed the new title of the people," intended
to make of it, they conceived if to be admira
hlv calculated to effect the object of all their
rexerlions, the destruction and ruin of the re-
piiblican partv. The state , elections, tiiey
imagined, might be easily connected witKit :
and they feltas if the fi-uitioncf their long
deferred hopes was at hand. v'The' project
of a change of the electoral law'was started
bv the New-York Patriot, followed by the

adherents of Mr- Clinton, established in di
rect hostility to the democratic party, and the
aim of all the efforts of which was to divide

themselves with the expectation of a politi
cal advantage. In many, of the counties,
however, before these designs were apparent,
the proposition was received with r eat fa
vour. Many honest republicans whose whole
lives had been devoted to'the support of the
republican cause, became a.nxioUs for its ac-
complisJiment. Iheyiwere anxious tor it.
because what seemed to he right in itself,
they were desirous should be done ; and
that without reflecting upon the policy which
induced the opposition at this particular mo
ment to agitate a matter which had stood as
it is, without clamour, nearly fortv years, and
which the power of the people could have
changed, hail they so. wished, at any mo
ment. '.'.. " .
Under the excitement thus produced, the
elections of last fall were commenced. " In
several instances, candidates, who themselves
were content with the existing law, were in
duced to think, front the clamours of the op
position, that the chancre was required, -and
pledged themselves if elScted, to. vote for
the bill in question.' In some instances, re
solutions to the same effect, were passed at
the nominating conventions. Thatthe views
of the Opposition were to gain poorer, in
stead ot gratifying the people, is evident
from the fact, that notwithstanding the can
didates nominated by the republicans, were
in many instances, on this point, of the same
opinion with themselves, yet, tn every in
stance, thev brought forward their own can
didates and supported them with zeal." Hav
ing the new song of the people" always
upon their tohgi'ies, ancl having played their
parts with sucn adrmtness as to neceive ma
ny, the' were confident .ot success, i ney
we.re constant and proud in their predictions
of it. But they were again doomed tasutf er
disappointment. Large majorities of the
repubucan meinoers, regularly nommateaj
were elected to both houses. fcven previ
ous to the election, the disguises which the
opposition had. assumed, vere top thin to
conceal their real intentions : and between
the election and the meeting of the legisla
ture their plans forthe dismemberment of
the republican party' graduallv developed
themselves. At the opening of the session,
there were but few reflecting, republicans
who were not sensible thatthe party had ap-
proaclieii a precipice from which, at anothier
step,- they would be precipitatedj to destruc
tion. But assurances had been triven. and
they were to be redeemed, r They were re
deemed in every instance. Ilad it heen de
sired they should. hav- forgotten (which it
was not) no considerations could have indu
ced rthem to forget the obligations' which
their own declarations, or those vof their
friends, had imposed upon them. The as
sembly passed the bilI..T?e Senate were
differently . constituted. HV- large 1 majority
were at liberty to act,- in reiafjoji to thebiU,
as the interests and character of the st tie re
quired. The situation of the Governor was
not dissimilar. He also was at liberty to o
vern his acts by the free' expressions of the
public opinion against a division of the' elec
toral vote, and by the. high obligation to
preserve the' republican party unbroken.
Vith such impressions, he submitted the
question "to the: vrisdom of the legislature.
accompanied by a a declaration,' which was
every where regarded as adverse to a Change
ot tne Jawv , He went farther, and urged se
nators to stand firm; in the defence of the
state rights and power, and the integrity of
the democratic party ? and vo resist the -attempts
of the opposition , ,to ? prostrate the
one by destroying the other. ;The view ta
ken ofthe question by the senate, was such
an one as was expected of men feting under
high responsibility. The discussions in that
body, wereample and dispassionate ; and
