THE DEFENCE—No. III.
ALBERT GALLATIN was named Secretary of the Treasury. The duties of this station are in some respects scarcely secondary, while in others they are superior to those attached to the Department of State. By the laws establishing the office, the Secretary is required not only to superintend the collection and disbursement of the revenue, but likewise to prevent such new, or alterations in existing plans, as the public good requires.
This gentleman it is well known was born in a foreign land! But it is likewise known that the air he there inhaled was that of liberty. The republic, in whose bosom he was educated, had, for ages, been no less distinguished by the justice of its laws, than the equality of its citizens.
This was the school in which Gallatin was bred. It was here, that his earliest impressions inspired him with a love of liberty, instructed him in the subordinate estimation in which a virtuous mind should hold wealth, and taught him the value of industrious habits, as the only guardians of independence and true greatness.
His talents, however, could not be concealed. His neighbors marked them; and in the year '89 or '90, he was sent by his fellow-citizens to the Convention that formed a new Constitution for the State of Pennsylvania.
In the next, and for several succeeding years, he occupied a seat in the Legislature of Pennsylvania. The period was troubled with the storms of party; and no man, not even himself, had escaped its rage.
He took his seat, apparently regardless of the hostility that surrounded him. His principles were not the offspring of a temporising or a timid policy.
The path of duty laid plainly exposed to his view; and his purpose was to pursue it. Without, therefore, making any unnecessary and ostentatious professions of his faith, or injudicious reflections upon the professions of others, he delivered his opinions with a simplicity and candor that disarmed hostility...
After this bright display of integrity and talent, his enemies united with his friends to raise him to the Senate of the U. States; exhibiting in this act, a rare, and almost unprecedented triumph of principle over prejudice.
These unworthy measures of his opponents only served, by rendering his talents more conspicuous, to increase his popularity! And he was, at the ensuing election, chosen a member of the House of Representatives of the United States.
By the Ream or Quire, for sale at this Office. I rec. will of the senate; but in the election...

These are the talents, and these the services which recommended and justified the elevation of Gallatin.
With the public career of General Dearborn, we do not profess to be intimately acquainted. We know, however, that he was a warm and efficient advocate of the revolution; that during the whole of its vicissitudes, he was actively engaged in the councils or the armies of his country; and that he invariably sustained the character of a brave and able officer. For several years previous to the Presidency of Mr. Jefferson, he was a member of the House of Representatives; in which he took a distinguished lead in all the military arrangements. He has been, without intermission, the decided whig, the firm republican, and the strenuous adversary of all invasions of liberty. Possessed of a spirit, that disdains to yield to circumstances, he never wavered in his political faith even in the days of the greatest infatuation. But his manliness was tempered with a moderation that, while it asserted its own rights, left undisturbed the rights of others. Quick in his perceptions, and prompt in his decisions, he had been long considered as the man of business, and, of consequence, so far eminently qualified for the discharge of duties not admitting of delay.
The appointment of the head of the navy department produced considerable difficulty. It was successively offered to three citizens respected for their talents; whose declension evinced the disinterestedness of their patriotism. Robert Smith was at length named.
This citizen had distinguished himself by his talents as a lawyer and legislator. In the city of Baltimore, the seat of our great commerce and wealth, he had early gained an equal eminence with any member of the bar, and had by the reputation of talent and integrity, raised himself above the frowns of fortune. Notwithstanding, however, the laborious duties of his profession, he had, for several years, accepted a seat in the legislature of Maryland. During the greater part of this period, he was in the minority, and although the period was marked with unusual violence on the side of the dominant party, he manifested a dignity and moderation that earned the esteem even of his opponents. It is true, that this moderation was shielded by spirit, and that while he scrupulously respected the feelings of others, he compelled others to respect his own. No man, perhaps, had a more powerful agency in accomplishing the revolution in public opinion which took place about the period of the Presidential election. To powers of mind highly cultivated by study, he added habits of the closest application, with which he united manners of the greatest urbanity and politeness.
Levi Lincoln, a citizen of Massachusetts, was appointed Attorney General. This gentleman had just received an evidence of the confidence of his fellow citizens by an election as their Representative in Congress. The short period, during which he held his seat, had not admitted of a development of his talents. But he entered that body with the reputation of eminent talents. The competence acquired by his legal labors, proved the estimation in which they were held in a state distinguished by an eminent bar. Without invidious comparison, he had stood a long time as a Parton and a Sullivan. The qualifications for the first legal officer of the government were crowned by manners the most simple, and a disposition the mildest that ever fell to the lot of man. The spirit of liberty and reform often inspires the heart with sufficiency; in the heart of this man the purest philanthropy was mingled with the sweetest amenity.
Such was the administration, which the Chief Magistrate formed as the depositary of his confidence, and as worthy to guide the great departments of the Republic. On a late occasion Mr. Nicholson, on the floor of the House of Representatives, has pronounced this the strongest administration in the world . How far this is the award of truth the review of the proceedings of the government, which we are about to commence will shew.
It is sufficient, for our present purpose, to have sketched the characters and prominent services of the members of the cabinet when they came into office. By this inadequate delineation, it will appear that the motives which guided the President, in the selection, were pure, patriotic and enlightened. There is not a better criterion of true greatness, than the nomination by the chief executive magistrate of the high officers of state; and when these officers necessarily become his confidential friends, accessible to him at all times and on all occasions, and thus become observers of his frailties as well as his accomplishments, the ordeal becomes still more decisive. If he appoint men of loose morals, his own virtues become questionable; and if he appoint men of feeble minds, it may be permitted to doubt his talents or patriotism; talents which can alone enable him to discern the merit of others, and patriotism which can alone impel him to divide the government with men of sense.
Mr. Jefferson composed his cabinet of men of unsusppected virtue, and of acknowledged talents. In this act he presented the nation with the strongest pledge of his determination to be directed by an upright policy, and to call to his aid the best talents of the country. Had he been prompted by the jealousy of a grovelling mind, he would have surrounded himself with men of moderate powers and of plastic tempers. Then he would have enjoyed the distinction of wielding the government alone; and might have governed with an absolute sway. But, above the petty ambition of tyrants, with his eyes fixed on the public welfare, he called to his aid men incapable of seduction, or of sacrificing their independence. CURTUS.
WASHINGTON CITY, Oct. 12.
It is with sincere pleasure we are enabled to state that there is the best reason to believe the account of the death of Gov. CLAIBORNE unfounded. Letters as late as the 1st of Sept. have been received from him by the President of
the United States, on which day the last left New-Orleans—These letters state that Mr. Claiborne had been very ill, but was then so far recovered as to admit of his transacting business.
FEDERAL EXULTATION!
High exultation is indulged by the federalists at the success of their candidates in the States of New-Hampshire and Delaware. In the former State the federal ticket for Representatives in Congress has prevailed by a majority of about eight hundred out of above twenty-one thousand votes; and in the latter by a majority of three hundred and sixty one, out of above 8,400—In the former state, the Representatives have long since been federal, and there is consequently no new ground gained; and in the latter State, the division is for a number of years been so close that the opposite parties have alternately been victorious.
At the preceding election in New-Hampshire in the year 1802, the highest on the federal ticket had 6,135 votes; and the highest on the Republican ticket had 4,104, leaving a federal majority of 2,031.
This year the highest on the federal ticket has 10,988 votes; and the highest on the Republican ticket has 10,209; leaving a Federal majority of 779.
Comparing the majority at this with that at the preceding election, we find a federal loss of 1252; although the total number of votes given at the last, is double that received at the preceding election. The comparative loss, therefore, is really double, amounting to about 2,500.
With regard to the State of Delaware, the votes at the election of 1802, were for
  Rodney - 3,421   Bayard - 3,406 
Republican majority 15
This year the whole number of votes has increased from 6,827 to 8,481; and Mr. Bayard has a majority of 361.
The most important view which these elections present is that which indicates the state of the public opinion. In this view, taken together, they offer the following result:
  Federal loss in New-Hampshire 1,252   Federal gain in Delaware 361 
leaving 891
which shews the loss of the federalists and the gain of the Republicans.
It is but fair, in this view, to notice other changes recently made. In North-Carolina and in Maryland a Republican has been substituted in the room of a Federal Representative. So that while in Delaware, federalism has gained one member, republicanism has in the former States gained two members.
An Old Slander Revived.
A miserable scribbler, who has for some time past been obtruding himself on the attention of the public, over the signature of "Hume" and whose feeble malice furnishes new evidence of the despair, to which the Federal Faction is driven, has had the unblushing effrontery to tell us among many other despicable falsehoods—that, "The continuance in office of the Post-Master & Attorney-General, will not discredit the belief of the President's want of principle. The former has proscribed many faithful agents, because appointed by a preceding administration, while the latter stands convicted before the public of falsehood, and has made the United States incur a large expense, because attendance at Washington was incompatible with electioneering projects. He has uttered sentiments, displaying vindictive feelings, which appeared in that master of the guillotine, Robespierre; or in the Emperor Caligula, who exclaimed, "would to heaven, the Roman people had but one head, that it might be struck off at one blow."
The well known fiction of the "THOUSAND DOLLARS" alluded to in the above paragraph—is now become too stale to be relished even by the grossest palate and the most insatiable appetite. It is however to puff up the already too inflated variety of a certain ATTORNEY, to whose inexhaustible invention we are indebted for this convicted slander. What could be the motive of HUME, in thus reviving an old lie? a lie, which long ago, procured a merited infamy, for the malignant fabricator? Did he wish to compliment the inventive powers of the author, and thereby tempt his vanity, to renew its exertions in a similar forgery? Or had this HUME such a contemptuous opinion of the DUPS of his own party, as to imagine, that they are destitute not only of Memory but likewise of Intellect? But it is in vain to search for an adequate motive. Both the Federalists and their cause are involved in a cloud of riddles, which we shall not perplex ourselves to resolve. Egis.
The friends of real religion have reason to rejoice in President JEFFERSON's administration, and to pray for his re-election; not merely on account of his liberal contributions to its support, but especially for his writings in favor of the equal toleration and protection of all religious sects, in their various opinions and modes of worship, without any legal preference or subordination of one to others. On this subject, indeed, he has been grossly misrepresented and abused, at first by certain ecclesiastics of Virginia, whose livings depended upon a church establishment, by which tithes were payable from dissenters, as well as those of the established order, and afterwards by his federal oppo-
nents, who, to enlist on their side the religious prejudices of a certain portion of the nation, seized this objection and represented him an enemy to all religion. But his sentiments will bear the test; for they are founded on justice and are conformable to the spirit of the gospel. Freedom of enquiry and possession is among the best human means of promoting that Religion as well as that philosophy and that government, which is the true one. The period of Mr. JEFFERSON's Presidency has been singularly blessed, by a gracious Providence, with moral and religious reformation. This seems to be a mark of the divine approbation of the system of Toleration and Freedom. Sun.
The late venerable Dr. STILES, President of Yale College, who was an acquaintance and correspondent of Mr. JEFFERSON, says, in his Election Sermon preached before the Governor and Assembly of Connecticut, that "JEFFERSON poured the Soul of the Continent into the monumental act of independence." It is a well known fact that, as chairman of the committee of Congress, he drafted the Declaration of Independence; and there is something peculiarly agreeable in the idea that the author of that Declaration should live to preside over the United States. ib.
A zealous federal clergyman, not long since, prayed before a large congregation, that the people of this country might be blessed with a double portion of Adams' administration . By this, said a grave and pious old gentleman, I suppose our parson means, that we should have two standing armies, and two land taxes .
Died, in Germany, Tager Talpier, Aet. 102 : He had buried ten wives ; his last, the eleventh , who is now living, is but twenty six years of age, by her, he had 5 children, the youngest is 5 months old;—by his other wives, he had 34 children, all whom are living, married, and have large families. His memory was very retentive; he could recount a succinct history of Germany, and Europe generally, for more than 100 years past, and was very loquacious and witty. He never experienced any kind of sickness, was of large stature, and voracious appetite, and very athletic. He came to his death by attempting to leap over a gate 8 feet high;—he passed it, but unfortunately fell upon a stone, which wounded his head so severely as to occasion a mortification and his death.

BOSTON, Oct. 29.
SUMMARY.—FOREIGN.
EUROPE.—Captain Glover, from Liverpool, has furnished London papers to Aug. 20th, and Capt. Odell, from Amsterdam, with Dutch papers to Aug. 28th; several days later than before received. They contained a long account of an attempt to poison Louis 18th and his family, at Warsaw, by two Russians, "who were sent from Paris" for this purpose—but a timely discovery prevented its execution.
A war between Russia & France, seems now inevitable, says a London paper. The Russian Charge d'affairs, it is said, left Paris, about the 10th Aug.—and "Bonaparte, conceiving that the peace with Russia can no longer be preserved, has assembled a large force at Ziest, near Utrecht, will be strengthened by the forces from the banks of the Elbe & Wezer."
By an Imperial patent, Francis II. assumes, for himself, and for his heirs, the dignity and the title of Hereditary Emperor of Austria , instead of that of Archduke of Austria, which he hitherto bore.
The French Emperor, was at Calais, on the 6th Aug. and at Dunkirk, on the 9th.
The harbor of Venice, is now declared a free port—and it is said the French troops have entered Bremen.
A dreadful disease has again made its appearance at Malaga, and many of the inhabitants had fallen victims to it—among whom, were the Governor and his son.
DOMESTIC.
Of our Mediterranean squadron, we learn by Capt. Osgood, arrived at this port, that the Essex, Capt. Barron, was at Gibraltar, the 3d of Sept.—The Congress had failed the day before for Tripoli—and that the John Adams had failed from Syracuse, to join Commodore Preble's squadron, who had been off Tripoli for several days—but bad weather had deterred him from attempting a bombardment.
We still continue to receive distressing accounts of the late storm. Its extension was very great—and almost every town we have heard from, has had trees, parts of orchards, barns, &c. blown down, and cattle destroyed. It began earlier to the northward, than in this town—and was accompanied by hail and snow in the interior country. The destruction among the shipping was numerous—and to the disasters published in the last Magazine , we have to add the following brief particulars:—The schr. Robin, Card, of Kittery, was wrecked on Plum-Island, and the whole crew, 8 in number perished. Schr. Dove, of do. wrecked on Ipswich bar, and all the crew perished; six of them have been picked up and interred.—The ship Protector , which failed from this port, the Monday preceding the storm, for Lima, ran ashore on Cape Cod, and one of the crew perished.—Her cargo, valued at D. 100,000; it is said, will be nearly all lost.—A woman was found dead on Rye-beach, on Saturday last, with an infant child clasped in her arms! She was a passenger on board an Eastern vessel, which was lost in the storm.
The Thanksgiving in this State, will be on the 29th of Nov. next—and in New-Hampshire on the 15th.
The following melancholy affair happened not long since in Laurens district, in the State of South-Carolina, to some people of the name of Westen: One of them being engaged in the business of digging a well, which was sunk to the depth of thirty-five feet, on descending about half way down, complained that he felt very sick, took off his hat and fanned himself some time, and then attempted to return; but before he arrived at the top of the well, his strength failed and he fell to the bottom. A younger brother, about 12 or 14 years of age, desired to be let down immediately in the bucket, to try to save his brother; which being incautiously granted, he remained at the bottom helpless with the first. A third came, and went
down with the same imprudence; but making signs of distress, he was immediately hauled up. As he came to the top of the well, he would have shared the fate of his two brothers had it not been for the bye standers, who caught him as he was falling out of the bucket. A fourth went down, but with some more caution, being tied in the bucket; when down, he placed the body of his younger brother so as to bring it up, altho' he appeared in the same state himself, and could not be bro't too for many hours. The third came to himself in about half an hour, and said his younger brother was alive when he went to the bottom of the well. The fifth now came, (a married man of about thirty) who having tied a handkerchief over his mouth, and fastened himself in the bucket, descended and brought up the other bodies.
At Hartford, on the 12th inst. a person who had slept on board a vessel the preceding night was found dead. The evening before, some charcoal had been burnt in the vessel, for the purpose of destroying rats; and to that circumstance, it was judged, his death was owing. W. Mag.
NEWPORT, Thursday, Oct. 25, 1804.
On Monday next, the Honorable General Assembly of this State will meet at Providence.
As we have a considerable number of subscribers in the State of Massachusetts, we have this day published a list of the Republican Electors of President & Vice President for that State which are to be chosen on the 5th of November. The choice of Electors will not take place in this State until the 21st of November.
Federal Absurdity —The federalists are vociferous against the prevalence of the southern interest , and reprobate negro votes —yet they are in favor of Gen. Pinckney who lives much further south than Mr. Jefferson, and has a much larger number of negro slaves! Chron.
On the 20th inst. was spoke off Block-Island, the ship American , Henry Barnes, master, out 50 days from Londonderry, with 50 passengers on board—all well.
Accounts from Turks-Island inform, that Col. Murray of that place had issued a Proclamation, declaring his intention of taking possession of all vessels and their cargoes that should be stranded, or cast away on that Island.—In pursuance of which he had taken possession of the American Schooners Martin and Catherine , which had run aground on the Beach, and was using his endeavors to get them off, for the benefit (as he avowed) of the owners and underwriters. However strange this line of conduct may appear, he was countenanced in it by the Governor of that place. B. pap.
Advices from Commodore Preble of May 15th, state that he had procured from the King of Naples the gun boats for aiding his operations against Tripoli, & that he had proceeded to Messina, where they lay, for the purpose of equipping them. An article under the Boston head states his having failed from Messina on the 12th of July for the immediate purpose of bombarding Tripoli.
Information received by us since the date of our last paper confirms the news of the arrival of the John Adams at Gibraltar. The captain of that frigate was instructed to sail without delay for Malta, in case no apprehension was entertained of the hostility of Tunis or the other Barbary powers. Having satisfied himself on this point, he accordingly failed from Gibraltar on the 25th. N. Intel.
Extract of a letter from an officer on board the United States frigate John Adams, dated Gibraltar, July 25.
"We arrived here on the 22d inst. after a very pleasant passage of 26 days from Cape Henry. We shall leave this place this evening, or early in the morning, for Algiers, from thence proceed to Malta, and then wait for orders."
"On our passage, Mr. J. Sears, midshipman, fell overboard; all our exertions to save him proved ineffectual; the boat was immediately lowered down, but returned at the end of half an hour without him. He was the son of Capt. Sears, who formerly lived in Baltimore."
"A few weeks since, Capt. Summers, of the schr. Nautilus and his purser, were attacked in the city of Messina by several persons, some time after night. The Captain lost one of his hands, and the purser was so severely wounded, that his life is despaired of."
At the last Superior Court at New London, Jacob Nuages, of Long-Island, (New-York) was convicted of Bigamy , (having two wives).—He was sentenced to receive 10 stripes, to be branded with the letter A, and to wear a halter about his neck during his continuance in that State.
It is the wish of the Editor of the National Intelligencer to engage an individual well qualified to Report the Debates of Congress. Immediate application, with the terms that will be agreeable, is requested.
The lover of human happiness is desired to cast his eyes over the nations of Asia, Africa, and Europe, under monarchical and aristocratic governments, and observe their endless tumults, wars, oppressions and miseries; and then look around upon this highly favored land, under a republican constitution and administration of government, blessed with unexampled prosperity and happiness; with scarcely any other political evil, than the mutual irritations of parties, occasioned by an obstinate but unavailing opposition, chiefly in Massachusetts and Connecticut, against the declared will of the majority: An opposition, which, it is to be hoped, will hereafter subside. Sun.
ANOTHER HINT.
A man of business in Dublin, finding it impossible to get his book debts, advertised them to be sold at auction, pledging himself at the same time to prove each debt for the purchaser; the alarm which this excited was such, that in less than a week not a single debt was to be found uncrossed in the books of the Advertiser.

Newport, Oct. 8th, 1804.
WHEREAS there was presented to me, by Frederick Crary, on the sixth inst. a paper purporting to be a negotiable Note of hand, bearing date 20th July, 1799, payable at the Bank of Rhode-Island, one year after date, to John Faxon, or order, for the sum of Two Hundred Dollars, with interest; on which is indorsed the name John Faxon, and to which is affixed the name of Nicolas Geffroy, as drawer. —I therefore hereby caution all persons against receiving said paper, as I never signed the same, nor did any other person sign the same with my authority, privily or consent, either directly or indirectly. It is not necessary to represent Mr. Faxon as an unworthy man—as a man who frauds against his fellow-citizens previous to his leaving this town for Nova-Scotia, were too flagrant to leave any further confidence in his integrity in these parts. I do further declare, that said pretended Note is a Forgery, and that there are no genuine notes of mine now existing of a date prior to this, excepting one note in favor of Dyer & Eddy, of Boston, for 40 dollars—one do. in favor of William R. Robinson, of Newport, for 50 dollars—and one at the Newport Bank. NICOLAS GEFFROY.
Newport, Oct. 23, 1804.
MR. GARDINER, the Brother-in-Law of Mr. John Faxon, having in the last paper replied to my advertisement respecting the Note presented to me by Mr. Crary, I feel it a duty I owe to my own character to answer him. He informs the public that the Note is put in suit, and wishes them to suspend their opinion until the cause should be tried. I cordially join Mr. Gardiner in that wish, and my former advertisement was not intended for the purpose he supposes. At that time no action was commenced, and I had no idea that any person would have ever thought it expedient to have brought it forward. My meaning was to state the reason why I refused payment of the Note, to prevent my Credit from being injured; for I am always ready cheerfully to pay every debt I owe honestly; And I believe, since my residence in this town, every person with whom I have been in the habit of doing business can fully attest it; and no person will accuse me of endeavoring to defraud them in any respect. Why Mr. Geffroy, living in Nova-Scotia should purchase a Note against a person, of whose credit he must be totally ignorant; and why Mr. Crary should take the trouble to purchase that Note, are circumstances that cannot be explained without some difficulty to the parties concerned in the prosecution of the action—Mr. Crary having been connected in business with Mr. Faxon while he resided in this town. NICOLAS GEFFROY.
Those Printers who have inserted the Advertisement signed by "Benjamin Gardiner," in vindication of Mr. Faxon, are requested to publish the above Advertisements with the signature of Nicholas Geffroy.

That the amendment proposed, during the last session of Congress, to the Constitution of the United States, respecting the manner of voting for President and Vice-President of the United States, has been ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, to wit: By those of Vermont, Rhode-Island, New-York, New-Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, North-Carolina, South-Carolina and Georgia, and has thereby become valid as part of the Constitution of the United States.
Given under my hand at the City of Washington, this twenty-fifth day of September, 1804. (Signed) JAMES MADISON.
The Printers of the laws of the United States are requested to publish the above notification and the annexed laws, three times in their Gazettes.
AN ACT
Supplementary to the act, entitled "An act relative to the election of a President and Vice-President of the United States, and declaring the officer who shall act as President, in case of vacancies in the offices both of President and Vice-President."
BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That whenever the amendment proposed during the present session of Congress to the constitution of the United States, respecting the manner of voting for President and Vice-President of the United States, shall have been ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, the Secretary of State shall forthwith cause a notification thereof to be made to the Executive of every State, and shall also cause the same to be published, in at least one of the newspapers printed in each State, in which the laws of the United States are annually published.—The executive authority of each State shall cause a transcript of the said notification to be delivered to the electors appointed for that purpose, who shall first thereafter meet in such State, for the election of a President and Vice-President of the United States: and whenever the said electors shall have received the said transcript of notification, or whenever they shall meet more than five days subsequent to the publication of the ratification of the above mentioned amendment, in one of the newspapers of the State, by the secretary of state, they shall vote for President and Vice-President of the United States, respectively, in the manner directed by the above mentioned amendment, and having made and signed three certificates of all the votes given by them, each of which certificates shall contain two distinct lists, one, of the votes given for President, and the other, of the votes given for Vice-President: they shall seal up the said certificates, certifying on each, that lists of all the votes of such State given for President, and of all the votes given for Vice-President, is contained therein, and shall cause the said certificates to be transmitted and disposed of, and in every other respect act in conformity with the provisions of the act to which this is a supplement. And every other provision of the act to which this is a supplement, and which is not virtually repealed by this act, shall extend and apply to every election of a President and Vice-President of the United States made in conformity to the abovementioned amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
And whereas, the above mentioned amendment may be ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the States, and thereupon become immediately valid to all intents and purposes, as part of the constitution, on a day so near the day fixed by law for the meeting of the electors in the several States, that the electors shall not in every State be apprised of the said ratification, and may vote in a manner no longer conformable with the constitution, as amended, whereby several States might be deprived of their vote in the election of a President and Vice-President; for remedy whereof.
Sec. 2. Be it further enacted, That the electors who shall be appointed in each State for the election of a President and Vice-President of the United States, shall at every such election, unless they shall have received a transcript of the notification of the ratification of the above mentioned amendment to the constitution, or unless they shall meet more than five days subsequent to the publication of the said ratification by the Secretary of State, in one of the newspapers of the State, vote for President and Vice-President of the United States, in the following manner, that is to say: they shall vote for two persons as President and Vice-President, in conformity with the first section of the second article of the constitution. And in other respects act in conformity with the provisions of the act to which this act is a supplement; and they shall likewise vote for one person as President, and for one person as Vice-President, in conformity with the
above mentioned amendment of the Constitution; and in other respects act in conformity with the provisions of the first section of this act. But those certificates only, of votes given for President and Vice-President of the United States, shall be opened by the President of the Senate, for the purpose of being counted which shall contain the list or lists of votes given in conformity with the Constitution, as in force on the day fixed by law for the meeting of the electors, by whom the said votes shall have been given.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That whenever, by the provisions of the second section of this act, it shall be the duty of the electors for any State, to vote in conformity, both with the constitution, and of the proposed amendment thereto, the executive authority of such State shall cause six lists of the names of the electors of the State to be made and certified, and to be delivered to the said electors on or before the day fixed by law for them to meet and vote for President and Vice-President, and the said electors shall enclose one of the said lists in each of the certificates by them made and sealed, in conformity to the provisions of this act, and of the act to which this is a supplement.
