FoR IxvEsrroAr,ox.-Aw writer in the ALBANY
Daily Advertiser is calling attention to some
facts, connected with the electoral vote Of
this State. which deserves the attention of
Congress. We have room onlv for the mer.
est outline Of his positions, but this will be
enough to show Of how much import is the
He quoted the Cd o,v,.:.. Of III. l., ear.
ton Of the I'd article Of the conss;tua;e. Of
the United States as follows.
each state shall appoint in such manner
as the legislature thereof may direct, a mum
Der Of electors equal Ia the whole number
of senators and representatives to which the
state may be entitled in TIE congress.--Bxt
no senator or representative or person hol-
ding any office Of trust or profit under the
United States shall be appointed an cleo
tor"
He then AYERS that four of the Van Buren,
electors chosen at the recent election, are
post-masters-that two are commissioners
appointed and paid by the general govern
another holds en- office under the
war depArtment-and that one other was al
so elected a representative to Congress at
the same time that he was chosen to the cleo
toral college.
Having thus shown that some Of the cleo
tors were not eIlGloIes ne contenoS. ana we
think with reason, that the vote Of the col.
lege is q nullity. By law, the college must
consist of ~ members; IL even one is wan
ting to this number, the college has not the
existence required by the constitution and
its acts are therefore void. One Of the men,
bcrs chosen, being ineligible, Is Of course not
\ member; the college therefore has never
been completed, and il had no right or power
to vote at all. The legal members might IN
Iced have remedied the de6ency by choosingI
others to supply The vacancies, As they did not
thus ill the vacancies, caused by tho ineligi-
biity Of persons chosen, and therefore the col
cge was not organized and could not legally
vote.
If the constitution 10 not laid aside, rs q
lead letter, in regard to all matters within its
provisions ~ we know that it Is in many cases,
Congress should set on foot an investigation of
his case. We should demand it just as earn
.stly. If the electoral vote Of New York were
IS much in accordance with our political O.
pinions and wishes, as it Is opposed to them.
