FELLOW CITIZENS, j
YV PN the 1 ithrdfiy of November next, -the , period will acrive for
the) election ot Electors to vote for a-President of the United States. I his
election at all times is of importance to our Country, but more than usu?
Each State in the Union has the 'right jto prescribe the manner in which
their Electors shall be chosen, and difTrent modes or election have been
adojitccl.indlncrcnt States. In some States, the Electors' arc chosen by
the legislature ; .in others, the State is divided - into 'electoral, districts;' in
which the people of the district vote for oiie Elector residing in the dis
trict ; whilst in ;other States, ;thc Electors are chosen. by what is denomi
nated a general ticket, by ' .which each. citizen pf.the State entitled to the
right of suffrage, votes fav the whole number of Electors to whiclr thc
StHte is entitled. l'r, ; ' . . . ; .-. ' ;: -
I In our-statCj sinqe the year 18tb, the mode of election has been by: ge
neral ticket, 'inrfwhicH7 every, freeman .'authorised to yotcj Xw a mem
ber of the House of Commons, is entitled to vote for fifteen Electors to
elect a President. -f. We are. aware, that in some parts of the state, the
people, would prefer an election by districts rand vc do not hesitate to
say that if tho manner of election was uniform throughout t(ie Union, the
district plan would be the better mode. The legislature of our state have
so declared with great unanimity", and proposed to the other states an
amendment of the Constitution to thaLeffect. Some of our sister states
have agreed with us in opinion, but not a sufficient number of them to
produce the desired amendment. Our state therefore, lias been induced
to adopt the manner of electing by general ticket, from principles of po
licy, in order to give to the state in thci election of President, the infliience
which it is entitled to from its population. By this moJie,ja majority of
t!ie freemen of the state arovcrn the election, and the whole number of
Efectors vote for the same person for President. More than half the
states in. the Union have adopted this mode of election,fari(I in that num-
beriis now includedrall the large states except New-Jork.
lo tins mode, ot election, the principal objection with the people is, that
they have jio personal acquaintance with the Electors who reside "out of
their immediate district. This obicction is easiivob mied. bv the consi-
deration that the choice of Electors does not flepend uibn the talents or
general qualifications of tie Elector, but upon the actjwho he will votft
for as President. If he be a man' of , honorable, and respectable standing
in society, mere can ue no reason to ueiieve ne win givevi puouo pietige
to vote for a particular individual as President and afterxyards forfeit
that pletlge. bv giviiig his (vote to. another. The only qualifications there-
foi-e of anElector are, that he should be a inan whose integrity can be
confided in, and say to the public, with certainty who. he will vote for as
President, if elected. J That the people in every part o the state may be
satisfied that the Elcctf)i s Jire uicn of integrity, and that, ,if elected,, they
Will vote for a particular person as President, sonic method of nomination
upon which. ieliance can.oc placed, is. essentially necessary., In every
state in the Union, .where Eleciors are. chosen by-general ticket, without
distinction of jjarties', the sjiine co'iise has been uniformly pursued, as well
in the election of the several Presidents lw?retofore elected, as in the election
how p'eniling. This roursCjhas been, for the members of tho General Assem
bly of the state, next before the election, to nominate, in , 'different parts of
the state, suitable person J for Electors; ascertain who tljey would vote
for as President and, recommend them to tle jieople as projiel' persons to
he (jlothed with that important trust, in pursuance of this practice, which
hasohtaincil in our state since the. year 1815, "at the lastj General' Assem
bly! the, representatives cvf the people were invited, by the, following pif
fle notice, on the moriiins: of th&24th of Ilecembei' last,! to convene in the
