It wilt not no lor inose woovhijicmw ffr ihis doctrine to say. that the fl-preen tatives of those States giving but 5 1 elecio rah votes, should b"nd to circumsianre and forego the express wish of the States they represent. This would be a virtual reliVniihment,of the principle, and a vi olation -by the representative of .'the voice und right of hi crt!tuettts. U the princi nle can be Woken in one instance with itn nunitys it is not ;ood in anv ; it cannot be risht and wrong at ;he same time. Norman understood the Constitution better, or the rifffits''fiuaraniied to the people by that" in- etnimpnt. than Alexander Hamilton, who ,was xi efficient member of the Convention that formed it. I quote his opinion on tin sublectfrom the 63ih number of the Fede ralist. But as a majority of the votes might-not always nappen 10 center iu uur man, and as it might be unsafe to permit less than a mainrityto be conclusive, it 13 provided that in such a cntinselicy9 the 'louse of Representatives shall select out of the 'Candidates. wh shail have the five three high est numbers of votes, the m.fn who in their opinion may be best qualifi ed for ihe office." Jf the opinion oj the people, as expressed by the electoral colleges is to govern the House of Representatives in their choice, and thereby secure th e office of President to the highest on the list of the three returned, why the necessity of resorting to that body ? A plurality would have elected as well be fore the people as Congress or wjiy the fol ly of declaring that the right of choice shall devolve upon them The faci is, the Con stitution says, a majority of the whole nutnber of the electors appointed" shall be necessary to a choice ; but the believers in the riviu of instruction" say, that a plu rality is sufficient ; for instance. General Jackson receiv ed ninety nine elector;! votes to constitute a majority would require .one hundred and thirty one, yet say they, he House of Representatives should have disregarded the injunctions of the Consti tut in and elected him. That they had the fight to elect him, no one wilt dispute ; that they were bound to do so by any de claration of the Constitution, expressed or implied, none hut those actuated by minis ter motives will contend. . Li the second Artic'-e of the Constituti on, it is provided, that in case of death, resignation, removal or inability of 'he Pre sident or yir-e-Prestdetit, The Congress has power to supply the vacancies. " IL-re is another contingency in which the will of ;he people is not consulted in the choice of" President, and in which the House of Re presentatives are not the representatives of the people but of the Constitution. True, the Con-'itution is the work of the people, and 'hen fore indirectly the representatives ot the Constitution are the representatives of the people, hut if they hive in their ac knowledgement of , this instrument, as their rule of government, surrendered the right to elect the Chief Magistrate, in all cases save one, and upon all contingencies, and ( have found by experience that it is subver sive of thr ir political interest, let them al ter it in the only constitutional wa, ai d not by ende. tvours, sly and insidious, to suit particular occasions, or to gratify the ambitious views of some Cesar, Cromwell or Bonaparte, violently destroy this only ch u ter of the rights of man. But suppose the Constitution were to he so amended as to give to the people the power to elect the President in all cases and upon all contingencies ; After a fail ure of the first, trial, what would be the ul timatum of such un event ? They would ruh to the contest with redoubled energy, moral feeling and patriotic, views wOuld be lost in the teoipcst of the passions Every species of violence would be reported to by the contending parlies to obtain success. The press vvoqld know no bounds to its falsehoods and recriminations. Physical force would be substituted for the force of reason. At length s:me despot,' more fortuoate in the strength of his adherents than his rivals, would establish his Tlirone upon the ruins of the Government torn and mangled by that very power which should have, protected it. Human passions, feelings and propensi ties, nave not changed since the days of Grecian glory or Grecian degeneracy. That spirit which actuated 'he larger States in the Amphicyonic Confedemc y lo trarn-p-e upon the rights of the lesser, would find linong the larger States of 1 his Republic a reauv home and kindred feelingi iJ eery government Ought ?a, contain in icself tle means of its own preservati on. , To secure this dcsidemium to the Government of this Confederacy, and pre vent as fir as human foresight could d"',lhe unhappy result I have depicted, the fa thers, of ,ne Cnjisiitution h .ve guarded a g.inst a superiority either physical or mo ral of one State over another in an election so impoftaot as that of President, to indi vidual ambition, or sectional pride. b placing it in thedast resort in the Nation al Legislature, where each Sta:e is reduc ed to an equality, by h iving but one vote. But, were the Legislatures of the States to a we uie control over this vole, the guards of the ConUitution would be liroken, and the Government Would carrry in itself the seeds of its own destruction." - I recollect, a few years ago, lihir.k in 1812, the Legislature of - RonhCaruhW aboiUhed ihe district system of choosing -"' v jjrujiic, aim iook ine pow er into their own hands. The people rose in arms asatjwt this Some of tlu ery men yrho are now loudest m asserting the right of the Legislature ofi iventuCjKy: to control the election of die Wtness the last election for members of Con. firess,' at Ltingtn, Kentucky.

' These, my rellow citizens, are some of my crude opinions upon that popular theme 41 the right of instruction." as it embraces the election of President of the United States, In all the duties that devolve up on the representative as a legisla&rI have no doubt of the tight of the constituent to instruct 5 but when he, bv a pre-existing authority of the Constitution, drops his le gislative character, and becomes the crea Miro inatodd n'f di( rrpatfiP of the laW. he.is only to look to the exercise .f hisbest judg-) ment in the faithful discharge of a duty butted and bounded by the Constitution. ;In; the cle( tion of President tha mem bers of the House of Representatives per form only a ministerial duty.

I hold it t be a truth incontrovertible, that the wishes of a majority of the people car. never he as . er tained when the election devolves upon the House of Representatives ; for the ve ry want of this knowledge, throws it into the House ; the evidence of a plurality is not the evidence the Constitution requires to constitute n election. Is it not worse than idle to impute to Mr. -Clav a dereliction of duty, and a dis regud of the wish of the people, because he did not vote Jbr Gen. Jacksm ? If a majority of the people- wished his election, why did they render il at least uncertain by sending him to th1 House of Represen tatives? Am I not warranted in styi g, a m jority did not wish it ?

FROM TUE NATIOWAl INTKLLIGEXCEH. THOUGHTS ON THE PRESIDENCY. No 3. The consequences which would follow the I confess that a certain degree of political jealousy is highly .necesary to the preservation of Liberty." Ed. Randolph In considering the consequences which would follow ihe election of Gm Jackson it is not my intention to indulge in con jecture, unsupported by substantial reason and authentic fact. I shall, therefore re frain from agitating th perplexing ques tion, What vould be the policy of an Ail ministratioii formed under his auspices, in relation to the due protection of Domestic Industry, and the facilities which should be given by Road 3 and C inals, to military transportation and commerce among the States ? Some of his supporters have al ledged that he is friendly to these objects; others however consider him as decidedly hostile 5 or at leasi, hostile to the liberal policy adopted by the present and the pre ceding Administration. On points of so much importance our minds may still be fluctuating ; and while studiously desi rous of presenting to all parties however adverse in sentiment, every thing to hope, fie gives them in reality, every thing to fear i for nothing can be more certain, than that the system which he would final ly adopt, would conflict with the opinions of some of those who, though at variance in every thing else, are so strangely united in his ?upoit. Button one part of his policy, no doubt can teie'h'Vertaioe.d ; since it wid depend upon Alts own act arise from predilections whicli he has taken tin pains to conceal, and be consistent with hi uniform conduct. All inut foreseee,ihat,m his appointments to civil office his selections will be confined as far as practicable to military men. This feature iu his policy would be no thing more, than an exteiion of ihe prin ciple Avhich would be, sanctioned by his own election; it would be nourished by the sympathy always existing aiuoug'the mem bers of tue ftiiliury profession ; and wouid. confortu to the, strongest impulses of his na ture. - -" ";v. ..''"; i."r-,' ;( - . If military qualifications exhibited in action constitute,as asserted a prominent advocate of Gen. Jcksoa, lheonltf4est of superiority ophieitcetui'ord-v hi h est recmmeuJation for the CJiief MaSa- en rial force.?

Or will he tak? de'liht."in overwhelming the most devoted of hfs follfiwers in the bitterness of disap pointment ? . Bur, perhaps it may be thought that the military gentlemen will be content with rhetr fame or emoluments, and connne 'heir views to the path they have selected. This suggestion might be entitled to some weight wer? it not opposed by the admoni tions of experience. Examples are suffi ciently numerous -in addition to the pre cedent afforded by Gen. J.ukson.vto show that military mn have not been bickwanH in asserting their superior fi'ness for eiil office ; and can it be expected that they will be less aspiring, or more modest should the principle of preference be established by public approval ? If ihe partizans of Gen. Jackson now affefct to despiserall lit erary attainment ; if Mr McDuffie, fiis zealous advocate, has ventured only-tu declare that military action is the only test of superior intellect ; who will believe that Gen. Jackson willl manifest more regard for the i5'Mo6e,qiialifiution3 in which it is evident he has made no great profici ency, - Not only would Gen. Jaekson be moved to give his'preference to the military pro fession by a cons'stent regard for 'theprin ciole on which he predicts his own rt tensions : 'sanctioned as it would be v hfji owri election, but by all the filing and sympathies of his nature. Miliary meni have been invariably united ov the strongest 'ties. S -par-ted from the pursui's of oilier citizens and having few in-eresis in Common wilh them, ihy vinw each other as members of one family ; de voted to the ame objects by w ich hey are impelled by similarity of tastes, they b' Come united by identity of in erest, as well as feeling ; accustomed to consider hemselves ts embarked in the most-hon arable of all professions, and supported in his opinion bv the theory of intellect pro posed by Mr. Mc Oti file, they are united to gether bv motives of pride ; placed in sit uations where mutual beoetiisinaybe con ferred, and the excellencies of character developed, thev are strongly connected by the ties of friendship ; exposed to dangers it-d privations peculiar to their profession,' they are .bound together by the fore of sy pihy. And as if these motives were n ot sufficiently power'ul, it is a leading pri-ici;d.i in military ethics, to instil into ev ery officer and soldier, from the moment of entering the Army that the existence of their community depends upon combined action; that, to produce combined action he chin of dependence must be com ptte ; that no soldier; who his a superior must think for himself ; that, separate in reiess must b dissolved, and thai the claims of one must be supported by the ef forts of all. Thu sam.ne-s ef piirsuir, identity of interests,simdanty of taste, mo tives of pride, the ties of frieuo-hi i, 'he force of sympathy, and the honorable ob ligittons of a soldier have cre ed in ihe military profession an esprit du corps the strongest of ad principles of ic ion, be cause the iTiosf ex ?ive in its effects, and invariably hosiile to civil liberty. Although ddft rerces among officers are not uncom'non, ppxluced by the infirmity of our n,-ture, yet in one thing they rare ly differ : They uphold, the honor of their profession, and support the claims of bro ther officers, when conflicting with the pretensions of any otjier class of the com munity. AM history attests that, howev er sensitive to an injury received by a member of .their own body, they are far from bing equally sensitive to an injury commit ied upon the body politic. The brutal lust of Appius would never have been revenged by the desfrucii n of the Decemviri, and the restoration of Romm liberty, hatLnot Virg'mius been a soldier. Among all the elections by the Roman le gions, solJiert, not citizens were raised to the Purple. So irresistable indeed is this principle of action, that we often see. it triumphover the feelingsof the man, & hence frequent instances are to be found of an Army moved as if by one impulse, eager to gVatify the ambition of their leader by the destruction of their own liberties, and the liberties ui their country. It was this prin ciple i his esprit flu corps that impelled the Republican army of Cromwell, to disre gard thr ir oaths, subvert the cause in which they had embarked, "expel .the Parliament by whom they were .commtssioned, and el evate to uncontrolled 'authority, an ambi tious military Chieftain not less able, bold,, and warlike, than any .exhibited in mod ern times, but whose shining' qualities were tarnished by dissimulation, cunning, suspicion, and revenge. It was this prin ciple th it enabled SylU, and Marios to crimson-Italy with ner best blood, and assume the office of Dictators. It was by means of the same principle that Czesar & Bouaparte were empowered to trample oii' ihe forms of Governnieut, and 'proclaifif their will as Ihe only Uw. It was an ad dress tin this principle by the author of the Newburg letters, that would have involved America in civil war. and greatly endan gered her newly acquired liberty, had not the virtue of Washington beeu superior to that of any, other uian, irv-ancieut or jri modern time. ; r i v, f The operation of this princtple .may;; be, seen in theUunport which, Genfilackson- receives, almWstb a matii from; thjelexisj ing rmyt?and froui those who-fbrmeflv; field military coraini'Swnsu of their cottntryv' ' H bit copDitipg wi this principle, iiinsiUycoerqeUhem, to b i ttles and cnnsitlered his advancement as I outrageous affray ever witne$inlin OF? dial co-operation rv -n by Cufn. . the !mih, who n op4-n day madeaoal n Upon hi life, pronounce ! by him.V most , horn'!' mttTntrS' u ' 0 ilxzed country rA.imahi;.. . - -erved asan emtrmn iiu .. n hat noliiicians throughout r l..i H perfectly ronsWtent w(th the h .t,orab,. ligation which impels one sofdier 0 port the pretensions of another, and ner ' in extremities to deert a comrade- Nor has Gen.

Upon whom has he been toostfT poser? to lavish his patronage, nd r, v mend to preferment ? His militaru ann ¬ ates. Scarcely a single cruzeo ,;n . found among thie number. His pracii seems to have been the ground-wnrlc e .! theory first announced by Mr. McDuffi that intellects -or the brightest irJi can only be exhibited in military Ihns, the ingenious disciple, receivin-,l actions of his master as the espt. k' Truth, forms his iheory upon the basis f audiority ; and the soundness of tw will oe equal to ttie correctness 0f tL other. But,unfortunately for Mr.M'D6 his standard of excellence has led hint into error ; and the predominant passi of his Chief for the military profession has already, like his own, outstrip his prudence. Who but General Jic(. son would have recommended to 5ff Monroe, when forming his Cabinet, 1816, u appoint as a Secretary of ont of the I) pirtments a Colonel in the Army, unknown to the nation, ahdvhose t dents, whatever they may be, had ne ver been fested in the public Coun- 'tis ?
