Rcsoired That in all Of racancy, occurring dur.

pie throughout The State whose tights and authority !
will at all times feel it my duty 10 sustain and v!ndcae
against oil Infringement so long as shall continue helr
representative upon this floor.
MIR. Sppakcr-lt is urged, that because Dr. Scott has
objected 10 l3 votes upon Col Mallory poll, VINO was
returned over Dr. Scott By MINORITY OF u votes, IN the
absence OF OF! testimony Whatever to sustain any OF those
votes that Dr. Scott entitled 10 his seat undet mel he

turned member obtains 800 votes GnG an opponent who
gets only 10 the election. Tending TINS
contest the returned mel Ucr resigned his seat. Now
under this arbitrary rule Of evidence The coniesIing can
ddae has only oh 10 0i votes and IN the absence
Of oil testimony The whole l9i votes would be pro
nouDced bad and struck from the poll OF the returned
member, and the conteslng candidate who obtained bu
10 votes would under this rule be declared elected BY
ma orlty of votes. And by the operation OF suct
unjust rule the great and nestimabe rights arpertanIns
free aud enlightened people be utterly destroyed
and THAR rid, which should be the governing rule o
conduct be entirely defeated ] cannot, therefore
agree that the rights o the copc shall be put IN eopar
dy by mere rule oil evidence.
From review of all the circumstances OF this case
think Tie best disposition which the Senate can make
Of il will be- 10 send the election hack 10 the people
whose decision ought TO be saiisactory-as from lht
people we derive all the power which possess, aud /!
conformity 10 their lrN must bow with all reverence
