k0DEs or CHOOSING PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTORS.

Mr.. Charles Francis Adams, Jr., road,
before the recent Social Science Conven-
tion, in New York, an argument in favor
Of amending our present mode Of clecting
the President and Vice President Of Tho
United States By the present system, all
the Electors Of tbs State, equ4llinR its num-
be1 Of Senators and congressman, are
chosen On general statc ticket Tho cor
sequence is that the whole electoral
yote Of the 5tAte is cast Holid, one
way or tho other, according as
the popular majority may run. A few dis
ttictB, whose ~otcrs are nearly all OF one
party, are thus enabled to override great
nunbor Of districts wherein tho msjorilies
Of the other party are small This is pecu-
Iar1y illustrated in the State of New York,
which has thiry-oue Congrnss districts, IF
which only eleven are usually Democratic,
viz, those Of the cities OF New York,
Brooklyn, Albauj, and Buffalo.
But in these four cities tho
facilities for fraudulent voting arc SO grest,
and the Democratic majositiea, conse-
qnantis, 50 expansive TO suit any required
emergency, that the electoral vote of the
whole State may be easily carried BY the
people OF eleven Congress- districts against
the other twenty distrcls. We're the
electoral vote Of New York talcn by Con-
gress districts, tho Republicans would usu.
al1y at present get twenty-five or twenty
one Of the electoral votes, and the Denio-
Gratis the remaining twelve or thirteen,
