The president, of the senate stated that there
were i57 votes given in; and that of these
'here were three blanks; that il required 10
votes to constitute choice. He referred Ia
Tie article OF the constitution, under which the
menbers OF the two houses ere met together
ana which required the electors TO be- chosen
ny Inc JOINT ballot fthe senators and members
~, "ssehoiy =" so met together aforesaid"-
Inat II appeared that seven electors ere
chosen by majority CT all the members pre-
sent land that 2G appeared not to be chosen
ny the members {" met fouatherO
Here very long aud warm debate ensued
II was ccntended, on the one band, BY Messrs
ogden, Tallnadge, Wheaton and Others, that
ch"lce mad been made Of 50 of the electors
seven having majority of all the votes. and
20 havIoga majority of the votes, after -xclud
ing the blanks. The grounds on which thi.
was coptended for, were, that in ordinary
cases, plurality Of the votes only were ne.
cessary 10 constitute choice, and that blanks
cou'o MOI he considered VI votes. On the
DINER hand 1t was urged by Messrs. Sudan
Wright, Flags and Others, that the question
admitted OF strong doubt, and required invesii-
CATION which it was impossible TO determine
or go INTO IN Their joint capacity. That il
could On'y be done by calm and deliberate
examination OF the constitutional and statutory
provisions, IN their separate capacities as legs-
lative bodies.
The president Of the senate did not give a
decision ON the result Of the balIoting, but
stated that tho proper course would be, as in
all former cases, for each house, in its separate
capacity, To receive the report Of its presiding
"ihcer, ana alter having acted upon it., meet
again In JOINT ballot, and proceed 10 the choice
OF such as should be declared TO be not clro
sen.
several motions were made 10 proceed 10
second ballot, but il was impossible To deter
NINE the nhmber to be balloted for A resp
luton was offered, declaring that So electors
were CHOSEN, but the presiding officers declin-
co receiving motions, which were contrary to
estsonsnen usage, and which, as they con-
ceiSen, could be only received in the separate
meeting OF The two houses. After a sharp
1 deha'e, Inc president Of the senate, accompani-
ed ny quorum Of the senate, left the assembly
! chamoef. motion was then made TO ad =
ynurp, which was opposed. II was commended
that ihe meeting should be adjourned joint
meeting aud that there was no other mode Of
coming again together. The speaker said he
could moi assume the authority TO adjourn as
JOINT meeting. A motion to adjourn the as
sembiy was put and carried, ayes So, noes S..
The balIoliDg and the debate continued from
~ O'Clock until p VI. Much warmth and
feeling were exhibited and once more the
disgr.cefuI scenes Of the gallery were re-enact-
go. IL was gratifying. IN the midst OF this ex-
chement, to witness the cOolDess and freedom
from passion, with which the suggestion for o
separation of the two houses was urged and
finally Effected
The senate met, add the president having re-
ported the result Of tbs ballot, Mr.. Wheeler
