vernment in the adjutfment, 70 that they
may ultimately fettle down into one uni
form mode within confitutional limits,
NOT from constitutional restriction, but
from the convictions of reafen founded on
experience.
The mode propofed to be excluiively
eRablilned, being clearly within the ex-
preaions of the contribution, if upon ex-
~perience and comparison with other modes,
equally within thofe expreMons, it hall
be found to poHefs hyperion advantages,
or poHefing equal advantages, to be Ii
able to fewer OF lefs comfortable inconve-
~niences, your committee will not difruR
the good lene Of the people of the United
States in ultimately felecting this mode,
without conftituional refraint, as their
uniform mode of eleeting the Prefdent
ard Vice PRECEDENT of the United States.
Your committee hold it foreign to their
duty to enter into a comparative view of
the merits and dement's of the various
modes, which have been or may be adopt
ed under the exiting provihons Of the
contribution of the United States ; they
hold it fuRicient to authorize the rejection
of any propoftion for the executive ef-
tabliihment of aey particular mode, il
fuch mode hall, upon candid exa.nina-
tion, be found liable to ferrous abu{es, o.
a mott dangerous conlequence to the pub
lie peace, againf which abufes under fuch
mode, or practicable means have been or
probably can be found for prevention or
remedy.
The liability of the mode propoied, to
fuch abufes cannot be made more manifef,
than by a brief review of the eRential de-
tails Of that mode.
To carry into effect the mode prcpofed
to be excluGvely ehablifhed, every fate
NUT necelarily be divided into a number
or dittricts, IN proportion 60 the number O.

voteSl III q conceive BODY, or whether 1t
be made by fome other authority, to
which thofe officers may be directed to
tranimit the polls or lifts of the votes
taken by them /; there may (amidh the
conflict Of pafions, too likely to prevail
on fuch occafons) too probably be found
means OF iupprefing the polls, or lifts of
votes of lome of the fub-divifons of a
diRrict, or of preventing or delaying the
t%ranimiaion thereof; 70 that one man
might be returned, in apparent conformi-
ty with law, the eleaor of a difriet, when
in reality another may have been appoint
ed by the people of that diAria.
The experience Of elected government,
evinces that cafes fuch as thole above fug-
gefted are by no means out of the cou1e
OF probable occurrence. Infances of diff
Puted elections contefted upon fmilar
grounds, frequently occur in ordinary le-
gilative bodies, notwithstanding the
knowledge that a remedy exits within
the icope of the power of thofe bodies
The protraeted periods Of their fe0ions
give time for inveRigating and deciding
upon the merits Of fuch contefed elections.
The knowledge of the praeticability offuch
remedy, probably tends to discourage the
greater frequency of fuch occurrences.
But the bodies of electors in each fate
respectively, from the neceiIarily reArieted
periods of their feGions, are incapacitated
70 collect the necehary evidence, and to
ourfue fuch other feps as are enential to
he invenigation of, and deciiion upon the
merits Of conteaed election of one of their
members, were they otnerwife competen,
hereto. 1hole therefore who may be re-
turned electors, whether duly and really
,ppointed or nor, will in practice e~xerciie
The important functions of electors of the
Prefident and Vice PRECEDENT of the Unit
ID States. No practicable remedy againH
och abufes appears to exit In the prefent
tage of the propofed fyAem a knowledge
# the defect of fi,ch remedy moreover, il
IS to be feared, might act as an additional
temptation to the frequency Of abufe.

md when 70 rendered they are 70 be tranf-
.NILtCQ LII tlic 10TH Oh CcIti1iCdreS, giving

When the period arrives for opening thoie

p~refence ofthe ~fenate, and houfe of repre-
,fentatives of the United States, if error
or abufe fhall have taken place, no means

COMMUNICATION.

WHEN parties for elestioneerinp pur-
poles, pitch themfelves in battle array a.
gainf each other, it has often been OBJ
ierved that they do not 70 well weigh the
qualifications that the candidate ought to
poAefs, as the chance they have of fucceed-
ing, by efpoufng the cauie Of this or that
perion: thus it often happens that perfons
are elected to fill important offices, who
are no otherwile calculated for the places
they are elected to occupy, than a coinci-
dence of party opinions with thole who
elected them, 1t may alto be neceAary to
remark, that being in the immediate vicini-
ty of the national city, and foon to become
q very diainguifhed part of the territory
of Columbia, it is efentially neceAary to
pay particular attention to the future re-
~prefeatation of this rifng town. Under
thefe imprelions an inhabiganr of the town,
who belongs to no party but that Of the
general good, offers the following lift of
perions for Mayor, Aldermen and Com.
nor Council, believing that from the lift
here prefented, there are few, but what
may, without facridcing much to party
prejudice, feled fuitable pcrlons to repre-
fent them in the corporation for the eniu- |
ing year. !
