It viii be seen the president Of the joint meeting
announced that there was choice; In consequence

sessive votings. until ON subssqusnt day, 1t was
chosen
After careful examination OF the subject, have
strong conviction that the arst voting completed
election that in fact and right was then duly and
constitutionAlly chosen and that all the subsequent
proceedings therefore void.
It appears that was the only person put In nomi-
nation that no votes were given for any other oil
quorum Of the elective body declared me to be their
choice.
IN impression that the ooncurring voices OF major
part of all the members elected to the two branches
n thrive
declared for an person. no choice was thought
II was legally elected, rs believe to be the case
1t Is my duty to assert right to the fioe; and,
failure to do now, when the 6ensts vened and
present in the city, might be interpreted into an
abandonment Of claim least Of negligence in its
assertion, 1 have thought it incumbent upon me to
bring the subject to the notice OF the body But as
my friend Mr.. Mallory, who will doubtless regard 1t
his duty to present himself with his credentials IL not
now here, 1t is not my purpose wish to press the
question, nor to Ark decision, until he can be pre-
sent.
With respectful consideration, your felovoitizen.
