This Meeting views with deep regret, the conflicting
opinions which prevail TO very considerable extent in
inc jackson party, on the subject of the selection Vice
PRESIDENT Tor the next Presidential term They think il
oil vital Importance that election should be made bv the
peoples as must devove upon the Senate of the United
states IN the event of neither the candidates receiving
majority OF the whole body of Electors Such an event
inns meeting would greatly depecate, believing that no
election made by that body would give satisfaction to a
large majority OF the American People; it being repre-
senation OF States, and of the People i'm which the
small States OF Rhode Island and Delaware have as much
weight as the large States of New York and Pennsylya-
MA; and the wishes and interests of large majority NAV
be controlled by the arbitrary will of a small minority
renee an election made by that body must be frequent
y ehecteu by intrigue and management for the promo
ton OF some political faction who are entirely regardless
oil the best interests OF the nation. This will produce dis
cord and decprooted dissatisfaction which must tend 10
weaken and ultimately tear asundcr the gaments which
bind together our happy Union.

concert, and this meeting conceive of no plan more
appropriate Tor the attainment of this desirable object
