| Bcartsey Withdrew his motion for the purpose
of allowing the question to be put direct upoi
the passage of the resoluiion-in other words
whether the election shall be made at the present
session or postponed to another year. The res.
oluion was sustained by Mr.. Dcane Of c.
Carpenter OF ", Whiltemore and Converse, who
argued that the Constitution required the I.ors-
lature to elect that this is the time to elect,
according to mmemorial usage that if an
election is not made, there will be a vacancy
at the extraordinary session of the Senate on
the It'll of March next, ard Vermont and Free
States will not have their fall representation in
the appointment of the Cabinet for the next
four wears. A refusal to elect was reprchendcd
as disorganizing in its tendency, and neglect
of a duty required by the laws and expected by
the people, and a. az indication of purpose tc
make THIS high Office tue sport of a coalition o
/ discordant politicians. On the other hand
Mcssrs Needham and Bearislcy argued that nc
law required an election at this particular time
that other states had failed to elect on various
occasions that an election could not now be
made satisfactory to majority OF the people
inasmuch AS the dominant party in the lcTs-
lature is minority in the popular vote that it
is better to be unrcprcscnted than misreprcsCnt-
ed and, indeed, that the state would not in
fact be unrcprescntcd, as failure to elect
would leave a vacancy which the Governor
would fill. The last point was denied by Mr.
Whttemorc. who affirmed that the L. :. Sc
nate has decided that failure TO elect does mn
create vacancy. within the meaning OF the
Constitution Iowa is now unreprese"led, be-
cause she has failed 10 elect. Mr. I inverse
SAID That even II the Governor could appoint, the
business OF the special session would be com
hag. In, -
the vacancy and till it.
Two unsuccessful motions to adjourn were
made, and at the conclusion Of the debate Mr.
Beard,lev moved to postpone the resolution IL
