the institutions OF the country from
which IN my Judgment The act affords
a wise and constitutional means OF es-
cape.
"for the first time in the history Of
our country, under the Constitution as
II now Is, dispute exists with regard
to the result OF the election OF the chief
magistrate of the nation. II is under
stood that upon the disposition Of dis
putes touching the electoral votes cast
at the late election by one or more Of
the States depends the question wheth-
er one or the other OF the candidates
Tor the Presidency rs the lawful chief
magistrate. The Importance of hav-
ing clearly ascertained BY procedure
regulated by law. which of the two
citizens has been elected and Of having
the right TO this high office recognized
and checria!ly agreed In by all the
people OF the republic, cannot be over
estimated, and leads me TO express to
Congress and to the nation my great
satisfaction at the adoption Of a meas.
ure that affords an orderly means of
decision OF gravely exciting question.
While the history OF our country in its
earliest periods show that the Presi-
dent OF tho Senate has counted the
votes and declared their standing, our
whole history shows that IN no instance
OF doubt or dispute has he exercised
the power of deciding, and that the
two Houses OF Congress have disposed
OF all such doubts and disputes, al,
though in no instance hitherto have
they been such that their decision
could essentially have affected the re-
suit For the first time, then, the gov
ernment of the United States is now
brought to meet the question as one
vital to the result, and this under con.
ditions not the best calculated to pro.
duee an agreement, or induce calm feel
ing in the several branches of the gov
ernment, or among the people Of the
country. In the case where, as now,
the result is in doubt, il is the highest
duty of the law-making power TO pro
vide 10 advance a constitutional, order
ly and just method of executing the
constitution in the most interesting
and critical of its provisions
