The adoption of the plan propoied in

to withdraw from the government of the
United States, its exiting controul over
the appointment of one OF its mott cRen.

,excluiively in the fate governments. Such
arrangement might produce consequences
not contemplated, aid too unrpleafant to

conceive it to be inexpedient to ADOPT the
propoied change on this Ilbjeet, and fub-
init the following relolutions to the conf

MIR. Rutledge had not intended to have
RATED his voice on the preicnt location, nor
ihould he now trouble the committee if it
was not for the purpofe Of giving correction
to {ome niif-Hatemclts which had been
made by the honorable gentleman from
Maryland (Mr. NichoAon.) In rccapitu-
lating the evils and mifchiefs which had
refulted from the iedition law, he had men
toned as tu3s {ome Of the tales of detrac-
ton and falfhood which had been very
generally circulated, and which, owing
to popular delulion and credulity had been
very generally believed. The frft in or
der was a pathetic hifory Of a printer,
who, as we are told, was a martyr to.
this law and purified under it to death.
Mr.. r. had often heard and read of the
cafe Of Adams, the printer, who, it was
hated in the mott Of our public prints, as
it was this day fated by the honorable
member, from Maryland, had been profe-
cuted under the fcdition act, thrown into
"a damp iickly dungeon, where, loaded
with chains he had died. In the courfe

Report 0be SeAH Committee, to qvbom
mere referred M. NieboLas's pyobeEa
amendments to the confHxfiou IN yeLufiou

The vacation Of ballot, competed of
found and defective votes, ought to be the
refuit of uniform principles it ought to
take place on all occafons where a diicri-
minatioa cannot be made, or on none.
Not to vacate iuch ballot, but to permit
the election Of a chief magiltrate to be
carried OF any occaGon, by the aid of one
OF o defective votes, would be to haz-
ard, In a raot eminent degree, the peace
of the union. It is ofthe Taft importance
to the happiness of the people Of the Unit
ed States, that a conpleat1 conviction
hould prevail, at all times that the per-
ton who may be elected chief magiitrate
Of the union, has been really elected by
electors duly and really appointed by thofe:
having competent authority for that
purpofe. It were painful to anticipate
the consequences which would too pro-
badly attend a difPuted election to the
Proficiency; thofe consequences might
be more ca!anitous than can be forefeen. (.
A modeof cleefing the PRECEDENT and
Vice Prefdent of the United States, which,
might at once combine the exprenion Of
the public fentiments Of the people Of the
refpe:tige fates, with a due appointment
of the electors for that important %purpofe,
is a difcovery greatly to be deGred; that
luch mode may be found, under the pre-
fent provifons of the contribution of the
United States; and will be diicovered by
the good fenfe Of the American people,
when aided by further experience, is conf
IDENTIFY hoped. Under fuch circumstances,
to adopt %esclufvely the mode propofed by
the 6re rciolution referred to your COM
%inittee, might 0 only preclude the ad-
yantages Of further experience, and the a.
doption of a more eligible mode, but might
tend to perpetuate, as well as to render
more frequent the occurrence Of thofc ex-
~ceptionable incidents which have been be-
fore fuggeRed, and forwhich it is difficult,
ifnot impraeticable, to find adequate and
convenient means Of prevention or re-
ncdy.
Thefe considerations induce your COM
mittee to prefer the exiting proviiions of
the contribution of the United States, to
the change propofed by the ira of the re-
folutions referred to them.
In relation TO the fecond refolution re-
ferred toyom committee, they report that
the objects directly contemplated therein,
are already within the limits ofthe legiila-
tive authority Of the government Of the
United States. To convert a conffitu-
tional proviion for the ~cxercife of Icgif-
lativc authority, to which recurrence may

convenience may require. in the ordinary

oiea iome time after he was releafed from
gaol. So that the fedition law had no
thing to do with this cafe the proceed.
ings were under a fate law and in a Rate
court, and the tory which the gentleman
from Maryland believed to be a fact. and
which had been mentioned as one in many
on our papers, turns out, upon invefipa-
ton, to be a fction-a mere oppoGt;on
trick Praefiied for the purpole Of in;urine
the government. He had given to the
committee the hifory he had received Il
Bottom, OF this trsn!action but his friend
near him, who is the representative ST
that city, had juit now interrupted him,
to lay the latter part of the narrative
was incorrect, for the printer is It'll liy-
ing: 70 that the victim we iua now faw
IN a foul dungeon, loaded With cbains
and dead, 1t now appears is alive. thus
much for the hihory Of the printer. AZ
ter having been told Of his profccution rr-
der the iedition law anddy;ng in eaol, we
were reminded Of the hard offerings of a
member Of this honorable houe-the re-
fpeet due to all its members forbids max
ing comments upon this cafe. The triaIof
Cooper, at Philadelphia, was adverted to by
the honorable gentleman, MIR. Nicholfon)
who had made All implicit charge OF cruel
ty on the judge, for having retfuisd leave for
taking the teAirnony of the PRECEDENT Of the
United States. What motives governed
the dcciiion Of the bench he could not fay:
but many very hrong reaions ,prefent
themielyes why the reqneft ought to have
been rcfaed, and why The chief masii-
trate lhould not be drawn from place TO
place as a witnefs in courts of law. In
the cafe OF Cooper, it was believed at the
time, and afterwards known, that his ob-
jet in foliciting the attendance Of the
PRECEDENT was merely to perplex the court
and induce a ~polponemcnt Of his trial.
This was proved by his conduct to many
members of this houfe-io many Of them
had been fummoned by him, as witneaes.
that coEgrefs was obliged to adjourn to
enable them to attend the court, where,
after remaining from ten to three O'Clock,
they were told, upon the judges propofine
to have them fworn, that they would not
be wanted. This was the conduct of
Mr.. Cooper, whole trial he attended, and
which he could fay with great confidence,
as many honorable members who now
heard him, alto attended, was one of the
fairea and mott deliberate that ever was
had. AS the gentleman from Maryland
had been miRaken in lis facts, Mr.. r.
deemed it Important to corrceth his initiate
ment, inaimuch as it is highly deGrable to
keep the public correctly informed of pub
lie proceedings, andto undeceiye the people
Q errors, into which they have been led
by the tales Of rumou In governments
like ours, where all political power is de-
rived from the people, and whole tuoda-
tons are laid in public opinion, it is cAen-
tial that the.people be truly informed of the
proceedings, the motives and views of their
contributed authorities it is the duty Of
