The Vice Presidency-There is some doubt
says the Baltimore Sun, expressed as to who
would be Mr.. Kings successor, should he die
before the 9TH of March, and we have seen il
stated that, should he not live until the first
Wednesday of February, (tbe day on which the
vote is officially declared,O the Hon. VIM. Ora
nam, next highest, would become the Vice Pre-
sident. A Vice President never having died
before being inaugurated, the possibility of
such an occurrence does not appear to have oc-
cupied the attention of Congress. The cleo
tors have already cast their votes, and sent them
under seal, to Washington. Their authority
therefore ceases with that act, and they have
no power to revoke if. The only reference in
the Constitution to the Vice Presidential office
is in article I, section iii, where the Senate is
given power 10 choose its own President pro
tennpore in the absence of the Vice President
and again, in article XII, where the Senate is
given the power to choose a Vice President
when any candidate for that office shall not have
a majority of the electors. Neither Of these
cases exactly meet that of the Vice President
elect in the event of his death before his inau-
g~uration, though it is probable that the neces-
slty of the case will compel the Senate to give
such an interpretion to article !, as will enable
them to I'll the office with an acting Vice Pre-.
sident.
