eS eieeiucoly OF opinion that Oh !
! the two men he was the mott fit for the. y
Office of PRECEDENT.
| But although | gave the preference to
colonel Burr, coniidered il as our durv
TO make choice, and to accede to the
election of Mr.. ]eGerfon, rather than OK
pole the nation to the mifchiefs which
might reiult from leaving the governments
without head.
therefore refolved, as far as MIGHT de-
pend on me, TO attempt the election ofco
Burr, and to pcrtilt in the attempt as lonp
as there fhould appear to be any rational
proipett Of ficceis; but to relinqpi{h it and !,
acqulcice in the election of MIR. Iefar{on Fsa
from the moment when that project il,opld
be at an end. All thofe members whohad
favored the election of MIR. Adams and
general Pinckney were known to concur
IN preferring col. Burr to Mr.. Ieferfon.
Their number was iuficient to diyid.
the votes, and prevent an election. In this
fate Of things a few votes from thofe who
had Imported Mr.. Jefarion and col. Burr.
would turn the fale in favor of the latter
and make him PRECEDENT; and it was pro
oaole that motives ofperfonal attachment or
political preference, would obtain for him
thoio votes. -Four, or even three, would
have been Efficient.
In chooiing PRECEDENT, the houle of
representatives votes by ballot, and each
itate has vote. One memtcr may give
the vote of a fate, if there be no NOR.
preient; and to make choice there ,n,f
be majority Of al the fares. AS their
number at prelent is fxteen, it requires
nine tomalSe choice. The members fro,,
each itate vote by themlclves to determine
the vote OF their fate; and when it IS aC.
certalned, one of them, by the appoint.
nent OF the reh, puts it into the ballot
box.
As ioon as the votes were counted :,
prefencc of both houfcs, and the refu,t de-
ciared by The vice preEdcnt, the houfe of
representatives returned TO It's own cham,
Der, and proceeded to ballot with clofed
doors; having previouny refolved not to
90 any other bufinefs, or 70 adjourn till =
choice ihould be made. On the fra bal
lot it appeared that fsates were for Mr.
Jeferfon, 6 for col. Burr, and that ?
were divided. Consequently neither can
didate had majority, and no choice was
made. The ballot was then repeated from
time to time during the whole 1,ght, with
out any change. In the morning, the
members, by general content, but without
regular adjournment, feparated till next
day, to take RET and refrelhment. The
next day, the ballot was repeated Geyeral
times but no change appeared, and they
again ieparated. This fate of things con-
tinued for feveral days; the members fe-
parated by content, but without ad iourn-
ment, and meeting again at certain
hour, to repeat the ballot. The utmott
harmony and good humor prevailed dur
ing the whole period and efpecia,Iv

ney and throwing away her other vote,
The might have made him PRECEDENT, and
lett 1t tie between MIR. Adams and Mr..
Jeterlon for ce-prefdent; in which cafe
the ienate mutt have decided on the choice.
BY voting tor Mr.. Jeferfon and col. Burr
fhe gave them 73votes each; which being
majority OF I3S, the whole number Of
electors, the choice between thofe two gen
tienen devolved, according to the conti-
tuition, on the houfe Of representatives,
which in fuch Gates is to choole, by ballot,
one OF the two higheft to be pretident.--
Iheother becomes vice prefidcntof courle.
AS it may be satisfactory to you to
know Row the feveral itates acted on this
great location, will give you aRatement
OF their votes.
The five New England fates, Malta
chufetts, Connecticut, New-H arnp!hire, r.
iiland, and Vermont, gave to- cther go
votes; ali for Mr.. Adams, and all except
one for general Pinckney. That one was
thrown away. New Yorl1 gave II votes
all for MIR. Jeferfon and colonel Burr.
New Jeriey 7, and Delaware 3, all for
Mr.. Adams and general Pinckney. Penn
fylvania IS, ofwhich were for Mr.. yef-

10, otwhich s were for Mr.. Adams and
general Pinckney, and for MIR. Jeff5er-

MIR. Jeferfon and colonel Burr. North

Adams and general Pinckncy. South
Carolina S, all for Mr.. Jeferfon and colo
mel Burr. Georgia 4, TenneRee 3, and
Kentucky 4; all for Mr.. Jeaerion and
colonel Burr.
AS the Importers of Mr.. Jefcrion Ger
tainly did not intend to bring col. Burr
in competition with him, it is difficult
to account for their giving them an equal
number of votes. Be that as it may, the
fact was 70, and 70 itappeared on counting
the votes; which took place in the pre-
fence of both houfcs of congrcG, on the
nth ofthis month. They had 13 votes
each; which being majority or the
whole number, they were both elected
but it devolvcd on the houie OF repreienta-
tives, to declare which Of them lhould be
PRECEDENT.
In diicharging this mon important du-

A LETTER
From Robert GooaAoe Hnr5er, of S0utA-
Ca,okiua, to bis Confituents.

Warrington, Feb. 24th, 1901.
The ieilion Of congrefs, my dear fir,
being about to clofe, and with my political
life, take ap the pen for the laA time, to
give my conitituents an account of nv
itewardllip. ] have delayed it. thus long
becaufe nothing very material took place
in the early part Of the felton, and I
thought it bett to bring into one view, all
that ieerned to me particularly worthy of
their attention.
As the general principles on which I
have acted, in the truit conhded to me, have
heretofore been explained to you, together
with the rea1ons which governed my con-
duet in every particular cafe Of Importance
nothing now remains, but to give you an
account of the intereeing events which
have marked the prelent period, of the
mott important acts Of the preient FELTON,,
and of the general fate of our affairs atirs
clofe. This will enable you now to Judge
in what manner the government has hither-
to been conducted; and hereafter to APP
preciate jufly, the wiidom and ability of
thofe in Whole hands It's administration is
foon to pats.
l will begin with the election of pref
dent; the moA important Of thoie events
which have lately occurred.
You need not be told that the candidates
on one fde in this great conteft, were Mr..
Adams and general Pinckney, and on the
other, MIR. Jeherfon and colonel Burr of
New York. The two firh were fupportcd
BY thofc perions who approved the preiant
administration, and the fyhem Of meafures
adopted by Warrington. Their intenti-
on was to give MIR. Adams the preference
as preGdent and make gen. Pinckney vice
PRECEDENT but to take the chance of his
being made PRECEDENT, if his perfonal po-
pularity lhould obtain for him the votes of
iome perfons who would not vote for MIR.
Adams. The other two gentlemen were
fupported by thoic perfons who have al
ways oppofsd the administrations Of gene
raj Warrington and Mr.. Adams, and all
the important meaiure which have been
adopted under them. Their plan was to
give MIR. JeGerlon the preference exclu-
fvely as PRECEDENT. They fupported CO.
lonel Burr as VlCe-PleHuelt, Decaule MS
ftuation and power in New York render
ed it absolutely neceHary to admit his pre-
tenGons.
In the Aates, executive Of South Caro-
Ina, the candidates food exactly equal
except that one vote was thrown away from
gen. Pincknry in Rhode Inand, to pre-
vent him from being tied with MIR.
Adams. Hehad 81 votes, and each of the
other candidates IS. 1t therefore de-
pended onlSouth- Carolina to make thep pref
dent and vice prefdent. Had fhe voted for
Mr.. Adams and gen. Pinckney, the frf
would have been preGdent and the fecond
vice PRECEDENT. Had fhe voted for Mr..
Jeferlon aud general Pinckney, as was &C.

MENTZ, Sept. s.

The expectation of cornupon the Rhine
is forbidden, even to PruGian fubjects, on
which account the government in Wet.
phalia entered proteftation. The ref-
dent of his Prufian najclty came shither
from Frankfort to make representation
on the fubjea in the written remembrance
of another German Court. Other
things it is faid that the French legation
at RaAadt, on the 4th Of May, of the
year 6, had formally admitted the right
ofthe German nation to free navigation
on the Rhine, which right was accepted
by the deputation Of the empire on the
18th of May, 1898, that the peace of
Luneyille had not aboliihed this right, bur
rather re-ehabliihed all the political relate
ems then adju0ed, and that France fure-.
ly couldnot mean to conclude a peace, and
violate it at the fame time.
