other Statc,, mastery intrgucr would need
only to control majorties in eight of the State
Legislatures, to secure his elevation to The
proudest and most powerful office that any man
ever filled. Take for example New York, Penn.
syIvania and Ohio, large States which have
joint vote Of cighty-ive in the electoral college.
How many members constitute the legislatures
of these States, including both Senators and
Representatives Only 427, majority OF
whom would be 2l5. Take FIVE Of the other
States, say Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Indi-
ana and Illinois, which hare joint vote Of
sixty.three for President, and add the vote Of
these FIVE States 10 the three, have already
named and you get majority Of the electoral
college which ut present is but 295. Now what
would be n majority OF the legislatures in these
eight States, as they arc organized at this time!
/ SGT and no more, 80 that, this small number of
men could elect a President, if the legislatures
of the States referred 10 had the election of Pre-.
sidentia electors, as is the case in South Carolina.
1t is we'll for US, that the other Stales have
| given this election 10 the people, while NE have
forborne TO do it; for if they had kept it in tn.
hands of their legislatures, MS we have, verify
believe in all sincerity, that the Union would
have dissolved long ere this. 1t must have bro
ken into pieces, from the corruption Of the thir-
| ty.one eating cancers, which this same thing OF
electing President BY the State legislatures
would have engendered. 1t is notorious that
the election of Presidential electors was given to
the people in many of the States to prevent cor
rupton in their legislatures or at least. this Was
one of the many arguments used blythe friends Of
REFORM as the newspapers of The time and able
speeches yet eXtant will show. This is espe-
ciay true of New York, and challenge denial
from any gentleman upon this floor, that the
election of electors was there given to the peo-
pie under the lead of Senator TalImsdgc. in
consequence of the intrigues Of Martin Van
Buren, with the legislature, to secure The nomina-
ton of MIR. Crawford of Georgia. 1t was, |
again repeat, in consequence OF his proposals to
b1ibe and corrup. that finally carried the measure
through the New York Legislature. know
that it has been frequently alleged in this State,
that the election Of electors was given to the
people in the other States, by the struggles of
party for power. This is in some sort true, but
the proposition is not fairly stated, since the
party or parties who effected the reform in all
the other States urged its necessity to prevent
cerruflion in the State legislatures
IIllaQse significant fact, whiy goes to strengthen
ny crIiouNseahis eEcIeS was given to the
