II he Constitution Of the United States should
over be amended in regard to tue choice of Electors
Of President it would be desirable 10 have that pro
vision altered Which allows the seyera! States TO
holi their elections on different days and IN various
modes The practice OF choosing electors on diff
ferent days, has an ettee, 10 give certain large
States undue influence over the smaller ones,
which has been exercised in striking manner in
the two last elections. Let such large and CEN
trad State ~ Pennsylvania, for instance hold her
election several days before the others & the result
would IA oil cases, give q tone 10 her neighbors,
which IL would be difficult to resist In the late
contest. the decided stand assumed by Pcnhsylra-
MIA in favor of Andrew Jackson, bad controlling
effect Upon New Jersey, and probably upon New
York. There viii ever he large portion OF the

The least exceplionabie mode Of caoo ing electors
therefore would be 10 have them elected uniformly
in dstrcts throughout tho Union, all oA the same
day. There would tnen b. no opportunity for Il
powerful State to have an undue influence upon the
test, nor would there be an opportunity for the PEG
pie o one section Of the sic State to override tn
sentiments Of those Of another section Every
