GOOD AUTHORITY.

MIR. Wise at the close of some observa-
tons in the House, read the following ex-
tract from the New York Times Of Novem-
Der 90, which shows what Mr.. Van Buren's
opinion was, when Attorney General of the
State Of New-Y ork, on the same question
just decided by the Clerk of the House of
Representatives,, in regard to the New Jer-
sey members:
''About the year 1914, case similar to that
of the New Jersey members occurred in this
State. A dispute arose between two persons,
each claiming to represent the county of On
tario in the Assembly. Itmay be recollected
that, under the Constitution of this State, as it
then existed, all the officers of the Govern
ment were chosen by council of appoint
ment, selected by the Assembly from the Sem
ate. Under this regulation, the party having
majority in the Assembly had of course the
power of filing aHthe State Offices with their
own partisans. Among the candidates for
Assembly in Ontario at the period referred to
were Henry Fellows, Federalist, and Peter
Allen, Democrat.
SPY the law, as it then stood, the inspcc-
tors Of election were to make return to the
town clerk of the number of votes cast for
each candidate, and that officer was to make
return to the county clerk, whose duty it was
to add up the votes returned from the several
towns, and to give certificate of election IN
the candidate or candidates having the great
est number. Infect, Henry Fellows, FEEDER
allst, was elected by heavy vote over Peter
Staunton spectator, and general advertiser. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 183?-1849, 1839-12-12

| Allen, Democrat; but the Clerk of one of the
towns where Fellows had large majority, i'm
making his return TO the county officer, abb
breviatcd the Christian name of the Federal
Candidate, and returned so many votes for
Hen. Fellows. The clerk of the county. un-
der the advice of Mr.. Van Buren,, then Attor
ney General of the State, refused to count the
votes thus returned, and, rejecting the votes
from that entire town, declared majority for
Peter Allen, to whom he presented certif-'+
cate OF election. The vote of Allen gave the
republican party preponderance Of one in
the Assembly, and of course prevented the
federalists having the same majority. Allen
and Fellows both appeared, and, at the or
ganlzation OF the House, claimed the scat.
Mr.. Van Buren,, the Attorney General, had
the management in the affair on behalf of the
Republicans, and the late Elisha Williams
acted for the Federal party. Mr.. Van Buren,
claimed that as Allen was the certified mem
Der, he was entitled to his seat in the first in
stance, and that Fellows, even if the riphtful
claimant, could only obtain it by a vote of the
"A, assembly after it should be duly organized.
lhis, the correct constitutional doctrine, pre-
vailed. Mr.. Allen took his seat-assisted in
choosing council of appointment-Jy which
lur. Fan Buren, retained The office of .dttorney
GeneraI-and then was ousted Mr.. Fellows
right being conceded by the unanimous reso-
luton Of the House,
MIR. w. concluded by expressing the belief
that this must be good authority with large
portion of the members of the House, and that
1t took precisely the ground for which he had
been contcnding.
