'I‘.l'li1l'IlllS is the true interpretation of the constitution, is abundaiitly olivious, as well from the fair im- port of the words of that instrument, as from the profoundest commentary every wrIlt€n'0l1 it. The authors of the ‘ Federalist,’ in speak- ing ofthe election ofthe President, use these words: ‘It was desirable that the sense ofthe people should operate in the choice ofa per-1‘. son to whom so iinportauta trust was to he confided. This end will be answtifed by CW" t'nittin'-_r the right of making it, not to any pre- established hotly, but to men chosen by the peo- ple for _the special l‘l'lll‘))OSC-Q and at the particu- lar conjuncture.’ "‘ * ' _ _ _ ‘ Assuming it as an undeniable position,that a majority of the peopleq/' the U. States have a right to elect the President, and that the will of siich a majority ought to prevail, it can be demonstrated that the system of voting by a general ticket would render this fundamental principle of our government the sport of acci- dental combinations. Six of the States, for example, if they give an unanimous vote, can elect the President. But, if they vote by a ‘general ticket, the candidate who obtains a bare majority ofthe popular vote, receives the unanimous electoral vote of the state. So that, assuming the population ofthe U. States to be eight millions, a little more than two millions of the people might elect the Presi- dent. Let us again suppose that there are two states, one containing nine lipndred tliou-- sand people, and entitled to thirty electoral votes, and the other containing eight liuiidred thousand people, and entitled to twenty six e- lectoral votes. Let us further suppose, that mere are two candidates for the Presidency, of whom one is supportecl by five liundred thousand ofthe people ofthe supposed state. and the other by the reinaiiiiiig four hundred thousand, and the entire eight hundred tliou- sand ofthe other state. Under these circuin- stances, the candidate who obtains the support of only five hundred thousand of the people, would receive thirty electoral votes, while twelve hundred thousand people could give the opposing candidate only twenty-six ! Ac- cording to this system of false equations, a large minority ofthe people is precisely equal to no minority at all. By thus entirely exclu- ding the state minorities from the calculation, in making up the general aggregate, the peo- ple are literally iminolated, by liuiidreils of thousands, at the shrine of an artificial and (je[,,§i,.e sysleln, which, by riiakinga majori- ty equal to the whole in each state, gives a mi- tiority an equal chance for the ascendancy in the Union.’ _ _ _ _ _ ‘ The true popular principle in the opinion ofthe committee, is that which prevails in all other popular elections throughout the United States. In the election, for example, ofthe Governor ofa State, by the people, a candid- ate does_not count the unanimous vote of ev- ery county where he happens to obtain a ma- ioritv, but the respective majorities ofthe sev- ‘eralficandidates are added to their respective minorities, and the aggregates thus produced are taken as the true expression of the pop- ular will.’ Senate, Friday, Dec. Q6.—Mr. Barton offer- ed a resolution for an inquiry as to the expe- diencyof offering atpublic salethe lead niiues and salines ofthe U. States. Mr. Mills gave notice that, on Monday next he should ask leave to introduce a joint reso- liition proposing an amendment to the Con- stitution of the U. States, in relation to the e- lectiou nfPresideut and Vice President. The Senate adjourned till Monday. House of Representatives, Dec..26.—The bill for extending the half pay of pensions of officers, widows, &.c.; and the bills for the re- lief of B. Robbins, and London Case, were passed. The bill for the relief of Jacob Schaeffer was called up and read a third time. This claiinant enlisted as a private in the ar- my for 5 years; but after serving some eigh- teen months, he was discharged, the war be- ing over, and he being anxious. to rejoin ‘his family, on condition ofrelinquisliing his claims to bounty land. He now asks for the passiige of a law to give him his bounty land. On the question ofpassing this bill, the ayes were 79——nays 89. Senate, Jllonday, Dec. 9.9.—-—Mr.Fiudlay pre- sented the memorial of sundry persons of the city and county of Philadelphia, praying for a revision ofthe tariff. Mr. Mills introduced a joint resolution for an amendment to the Constitution of the U. States. relating to the election ofPresident. Mr. Van Beuren, also, introduced a resolu- tion on the same subject. [It provides that the Electors ofPresident and Vice President be chosen by districts, composed of contigu- ous territory, and divided by the several states. The states are also to prescribe the manner of voting, the qualifications of voters, and the place of meeting of the Electors. VVlien no choice is made at the first meeting, (no per- son having a majority ofthe whole number of votes) the President shall notify the Execu- tives of the several states, and publish the number of votes given to each person as Pres- ident; whercupon the Electors shall again meet on the day that shall be designated by law, and vote for one ofthe two persons who shall have had, at the first meeting, the great- est number of votes. A list of the votes so given shall be transmitted to_ the seat of gov- ernnieut, and the person having the greatest number, shall be declared chosen. But iftwo or more persons shall have received an equal number of votes, the House of Representa- tives shall choose one of them for President, as now prescribed by the Constitution.] Both the i-esoliitions were referred to the same committee to whom the other proprosi- tions for amending the Constitution, have been referred. House of Representatives, Dcc.Q9.—Oii mo- tion of.Mr. Floyd, it W113 R‘-’3°l1’€ds.Tl““ 3 Committee be appointed to inquireanto the expediency ofoccupying the Colombian!‘ Or- egon river, and ii) regulate the intercourse with the Indian tribes; and that they have leave to report by bi'll'or otherwise. On motion of Mr. Canibrelenga it “'39 R0" sifived, That the Committee on the Post Office and post Roads be [’nstructed to inquire into the expediency ofproviding, by la‘V_s that e_V9‘ ry Postmasterintending to resign. his apppint- r'nent, shall -give a reasonable notice, at his of- flee. ofsuch his intention. _ _ Mr. Campbell stated, in support ofthis res- olution, that Pnstinasters are now in the pr_ac cc of resigiiiiig .recrr.tl3/, and recoinmeiidiug , a successor‘; ‘whose appointment is Oflefi the first iiitiiiiation any body receives of the iii- iention of the predecessor to resign. He thought this inexpedieut and unfair. On motion of Mr. Farrelly, it wasltesolvcd, That the Committee on Military Affairs be in- structed to inquire into the organization and minibcr of the Engineer corps, and ascertain whether any alteration be necessary in the same. [The grotiiid of this resolution was stated by the mover to be, what he apprehen- ded to be a perversion of the original inten- tioii of constituting this corps. It was first raised to promote the defence of the nation, in the erection of fortifications on otir fron- tier; but it had been diverted to the occupa- tion of exploring routes for canals and inter- iial improvements, i‘$:.c.] The House went into committee of the whole, on the report of the Committee of Claims unfavorable to the petition of Garret Fountain. Mr. Tyson, of New—York, moved to amend the l‘epO|'l, by striking out the word ‘not,’ in that part ofit‘ which recoinmeiidstliat the prayer ofthe petitioner shall not be grant- ed ; ivliicli gave rise to a'debate of more than an hour. The circuinstances of the case are briefly these : Garret Fountain, the petition- er, was agent to a contractor for furnisliing provisions for the troops at a post in the-Bay of New-York, on the Long Island shore.—- There being there no public store, he applied for and obtained permission from Gen. Dear- born, to erect a store at his own expense‘, on the public ground, at the post. The building cost him $1,000; when he ceased to be an a- gent, he offered the store to the government at a rent of'$l50,wliicli was refused, and Gen. Dearborn ordered the Deputy Quartermaster totalte possession of the store, and a|lowFoun- tain 8100 per anniiui. The Government oc- cupied the store for three and an half years, and the present claim is for that rent. It was refused at the Treasury for want of a law re- cognizing the payment of rent by the United States for a store house, the law only provid- ing that at every permanent post a store house shall be built at the public expense. The claim was advocated on the ground ofits e- quity and legality, and resisted on the plea that as this was nota permanent but a tempo- rary post, contractors must ptit up such build- ings as they wanted on their own expense ; but the claim was not for the cost of the build- ing, which was confessed to be forfeited, but merely for the rent of it when no longer oc- cupied by the oiviier, but by the U. States. The amendment (to reject the unfavorable report) was adopted, ayes 83, noes 59. When the Coniinittee rose, and the House concur- ring in the amendment. The amended re- port was recoinniitted to the Committee of Claims, with instructions to bring in a bill pursuant thereto. Costs in suits by Patentees.—'I‘lie bill con- cerning costs in certain cases, was taken i.ip. This bill provides, ‘ That in suits coniuiei-i- ced in the Courts of the United States, after the passage of this act, to recover damages for the violation of any right arising under Let- ters Patent, lawfully issued, for any new and useful invention, discovery, or improvement, costs shall be allowed to the plaintiffor plain- tiffs, in all cases, where the sum recovered by him or them shall not be less than 8100. An amendment was agreed to reducing the minimum to $30. [On the following day this ainendineut was rejected.] - Senate, Dec. 30.——An inquiry was directed as to the expediency of establishing a Navy Yard at Charleston, S. C. for building and re- pairing sloops of war and other vessels of an inferior class. House of Representatives, Dec. 30.-Mr. Webster, from the Coniinittee on the Judica- ry, who were instructed to inquire into the ex- pediency of estahlisliing an Um:/‘oriii. System. ofBanlcruptc_i/, reported that it is not expedi- ent to establish such a system. Mr. IV. observed, that the committee had thought it proper to make an early coininnni- cation oftheir opinion on this important sub- ject to the House. In this opinion, a great majority ofthe committee coiicurred ;iudeed, he believed he was the only member who had the misfortune to differ from that opinion.— The whole committee, however, were desirous of giving a fair opportunity to those gentle- men who, like himself, were in favor of the system,to bring the question before the House. Such an opportunity would now be offered, as any member might move to amend the re- port, by altering it from a negative to an affir- mative character. He therefore moved that the report lie on the table,which was agreed to. The Committee on Elections, made a re- port favorable to the petition of Parnieiiio Adams, who claims the seat of Isaac Wilson, representative from the state ofNew York. Mr. Morgan presented a inemorial from a committee appointed by a numerous meeting of the citizens in New York, praying Con- gress to recognize the Independence of the Greeks,whicli was read Srordered to be printed. Mr. Rich offered the following : Resolved, That the Com’t on Indian Affairs be instruc- ted to inquire into the expediency of adopting measures which shall more’efi’ectually restrain either citizens of the U. States or foreigners from htintiiig or trapping on lands to which the Indian title has not been extinguished, [and exclude foreigners from a participation in the Indian trade. The cause of Mr. R’s intro- ducing this resolution was the differeiices that took place last suininer between the traders and Indians, and terminated in the destruction of many lives. Unless foreigners could be excluded from the trade he said we might look for nothing but a recurrence of these scenes. The. resolution was adopted. Ordnance Dcparlmcnt.——l\‘Ii'. Floyd made a motion that a certain document called for by the House last year, from the President, rela- ti'ug to the expeiiditiires of the Ordnance De- partment, be referred to a Select Committee. A long debate arose whether it should be re- ferred to a select coniniittee, or to the coin- inittee on expenditures in the War Depart- ment. The advocates for the latter claimed that it properly belonged to that committee, and that any other course would be irregular. On the other hand it was contended that the Report was so voluminous, and required such it minute investigation, that it would not be in the power ofthat committee to do justice to it. The motion to refer it to a Select Coin- niittee finally prevailed. During the debate one gentleman stated, as a specimen ofsome of the exdenditures in the Ordnance Depart- ment, inentioued in the Report, that in 1810, eight dollars per barrel was paid for Corn, for the use ofthe Department. A bill for the rcliefof certain distillers in the County of Berks, Pcnu. wastaken up. Mr. Kramer moved to amend striking out the words ‘ in the county of Berks.’ Mr. Foot, ofCoiiii. suggested as a inoclifiéiatioii of the auiendinent, to strike out the words ' in the state of Pennsylvania,’ leaving the bill to operate throughout the Uuioii. lle tliouglit that Congress were equally bound to do jiis- rice to all. Mr. Buchanan said it was eiiougli‘ to rei-nedy grievances when we know them to‘ exist, and Mr. M’Lean believed it best to pass the bill as it stood, granting the reliefto those who asked for it. The amendments were neg- atived, and the bill passed to a third reading. Wednesdrij/, Dec. 31.—No ‘business of ini- day. In the Senate, Mr. Barbour submitted a resolution providing for the appointment of a joint committee of both houses, to present to their respective houses all such acts of Coti- gress as may expire during the session, and which the public service may require to he re- newed ; which resolution was read, and laid‘ over for consideration. In the House, Mr. Beecher moved to take up the bill for extending IIIBCllflll)BrlH1l(lR.0aCl. Carried, 73 to 70. The bill was then, on ino- tion of Mi‘.B.i'efci'rcd to the committee "ofthe whole.——Tlie bill from the Senate,concern- iug discriniinatiug duties and imposts, (for re- viving the laws suspending them on vessels from certain ports in the North of Europe-, which expire on the 1stofJan. 1824,) wasta- ken up for consideration,and twice read, and after some discussion ordered to a 3d reading. A Message was received from the President transmitting a Report from the Secretary of State,with accompanying dociiments,contain- ing the iuforniation requested by the resolu- tion ofthe House, ofthe 19th inst. relating to the condition and future prospects of the Greeks. [These documents consist of Let- ters from Mr. Forsytb, Mr.Rush,and Mr.Lau- riottis, and from other persons not named,wiih the answers to the same, together with a sta- tistical table ofGreece,rec’d fr. Mr.Middletou. The following is the comiuittee appointed on Mr. Floyd’s motion for an inquiry into the expediency ofoccupyingthe month ofthe O- regon, (Columbia): Messrs. Floyd, Giirley, Scott, Hayden, Bassett, Frost, and Baylics. Sales at ./1uctz'on.—A memorial liasbeen ad- dressed to Congress by a numerous body of merchants, traders, and manufacturers ofthis city, praying that a duty often per cent. may be imposed on sales of foreign goods by auc- tion. The inemorial states, that of all ilic foreign mercliaudise yearly imported into the U. States, amounting in value to $00,000,000, from one-half to tlirce-fourtlis are disposed of by sales at auction, and ofthe goods, thus sold, the greater part is owned by foreign manufac- turers and traders. It seems that the facili- ties which auctions afford for effecting speedy sales of all kinds of goods, and the long cred- it on duties granted by our government, pre- sent powerful iiidiicemeiits to foreign mer- chants and maiitifacturers to pour the whole of their refuse and surplus productions into our uiarket, to the serious injury of the Ainer- ican trader, and the ruin ofour manufactur- ing establishments. The incinorial states, that this al-Io encourages frauds on the reven- ue, and is the occasion of numerous imposi- tions on the ptiblic.——.N‘. Y. Observer.

An express had reached London with in- formation that the decrees issued by King Ferdinand, at Araiijeuz on the 12th, contain a general aiiincsty for the past, with the ex- ccption of certain individuals said to be nam- ed, and a recognition of all the debts‘ of the constitutional government up to the period of the departure of the ambassadors of the Alli- ed Sovereigiis from Madrid. SEVILLE, 0ct.9.7.——The French have em- barked an immense number of pieces of brass ordnance both from hence and Cadiz, on board the squadron in which the Royal Guard is to sail for Brest. Some officers of the Span- ish Artillery state their value does not amount to less than 8,000,000 of dollars. This sys- tem, it is understood, they have adopted by way ofrepayinent oft.be expenses of the war. Nov. 15, states that a French frigate had just arrived at Santa Cruz, anti demanded in the name ofthe French Government, the whole of the Canary Islands, ceded to them, as is said, by Ferdinand.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 6,1824. “ VIR'1‘UE,LlBER'.l'Y,AND IND!-JI’E1\'DENCE.” Mr‘. \Vood’s Silversmith shop, in Stamford, was broken open by a couple of rogues last Ti.iesday iuglii, and property of considerable value taken out. The villains had been lurk- ing about the place for sometime, and proba. bly would have coininitted other depredatioiis had they not been disturbed while engaged in “"5: by a young man who slept in the store. '1_'he Greek Ball.—It is expected that a col- lection will be taken up by the ladies at this Ball, and they are respectfully invited to con- tribnte_such sums as may suit their conven- ience, in support ofa cause in which the whole cliristian world are deeply interested.—Com. On the 19th ult. a collection ofS‘80 04 was taken up ‘in Trinity Church, Utica, and of -3101 68 in the Presbyterian Church in that place. The 'l‘reasurer of the Greek Fund in New York has received 8100 from Peter Smith, and his son Gerrit, of Madison county. Also 390 from the Greek class,and the heads of the lower classes of A. M. Vicker’s school in the city. In the Chnrcli in Montgomery, N. Y. 325 has been contributed tothe Fund, A Hatter in New-York, advertises that he will give in aid ofthe Greek Fund 915 cents on every hat of the new fashion which he shall sell for the three ensuing months. A letter from Richmond dated Dec. 24, states that much alarm existed in that city in consequence of a vast number of blacks hav- ing poiired into it for some days past. In for- iuation had been given that insurrection and a general massacre was intended. Some of the companies ofniilitia were under arms. The prison bouiids for the county ofVVash- iiigton, District of Columbia, have recently been extended througli the whole county. A comet is now visible from 4 to 6 o’clock in the morning: at 5 o’clock it bears a little to the north and east : it moves very rapidly. The number of Revolutionary Pensioners, iioiv in the United States, as appears by a late report to Congress, is 12,858 ; of which num- ber 859 reside in Conuecticiit. New York has a greater number than any state, viz. two thousand nine hundred and forty eight. A fresliet has been produced in the North River by the late rains and mild wcatlier,and uiany vessels, lying at Alhaiiy, damaged by the floating ice. The injury done to the pier was inconsiderable; hence it is thought that the plan on which it is constructed will render it both safe property for the stockholders, and make a secure harbor for such craft as may be laid up in the basin for the winter. ’ Mr. Brown, our Minister to France has ar- rived at New York, with his family, and will soon embark in the Cyane. Orders have been given to fit out the Con- gress frigate to join the squadron under the coininand of Coininodore Porter. A meeting of those friendly to the election of Gen. Jackson to the Presidency, has been calledintlietown of Salem, N.J. It is stated in the Mobile Argus that a ru- mor is in circulation that the legislature ofAl- abania has made a law giving the choice of Presidential Electors to the people. Ifthis rumor be true the vote of that state will be for General Jackson. The correspondentof the Spectator states that a grand Military Ball is to be given at Mr. Secretary Adams’, to Gen. Jackson, on the 8th inst. So many tickets are issued that the house will not hold the guests, and can- vass tents are to be added to the rear. The difficulties which lately existed in Princeton College have been settled with the disniissalof a single_stiident only. The ac- count therefore,which was published in a Pliil- adelphia paper, was greatly exaggerated. It ir rumored that a disturbance has recent- ly taken place in Hamilton College. A Jaw !——A Prgstiyterian Church was late- ly sold by aiiction,.ati New Orleans, to pay off the debts of the Tqqstess, and purchased for 20,000 dollars, by Mr. Judah Touro, a native ofNew England and aJew, that it might not be converted to_-any other use than that for which it was intended; and the society still worsliipiii it. ' A iiiautifactoizyg for converting iron into steel, has recentlyiaeen commenced in Morris county, New Jersey, which produces as good, as firm and as beautiful Steel as any imported from England or Germany. No cast steel, ever imported from Great Britain, excels it for the firniest: and finest instruments. This manufactiire is one of iiicalculable value to the United States. All our edge tools, liain- iners, cutlery, &.c. depend upon good steel. The Philadelphia Board of Ilealth reports the deaths of 132 persons, during the week ending on the 27th Dec. Thirty three persons died_of.sinallpox—-I7 adults and 16 children. A writer in the Philadelphia National Ga- zette states that the discase at present pre- vailing in that city, is in part genuine siuall pox, and in part a disease somewhat similar, which is mild and runs a safe course, variously called small pox, modified small pox,varioloid horn pock, and aggravated chicken pox.
