tk-icts electors may be appointed who will volt* lor mr. Adams;—in the remaining five, the votes of the electors may be giten to mr. Crawford, mr. Calhoun, or somebody else, no matter whom. The result will he, that instead of giving nine votes, which is her right, Geor gia will give but one that will be efficient: that is, she will give but one vote that will have any weight in determining the election. Thus, then, that purpose will be defeated which looks towards the throwing of the whole weight of the state into the scale. Yet this is not the worpl feature of the case : The will of the majority may not he represented. It will be next to impossible to arrange districts in this state, so that all shall contain an equal popula tion. Hence, one district containing a small population may appoint u federal elector, while another, containing a larger population, may appoint a republican. Again—Two districts, adjoining each other, may have an equal pop ulation. In one of them, parties may be so nearly balanced that a federal elector may suc ceed by only a few votes : in the other a re publican may be appointed by an overwhelm ing majority. Now, if both had voted togeth er the result would have been that two repub licans would have been elected. Extend this view to the whole state, and the conclusion is apparent, that by possibility the minority may prevail, and hence, that the will of the major- tty may not be represented. For these consi derations, we object to the mode ol appoint ment by districts. By the legislature.-^This mode is pursued in tllV’Wnte, and is liable to great abuses. We do not now know that it bus been hitherto abu .sod among us ; but this is no reason why it mas not be abused in time to come. It should he the policy of a wise government to cIolc up. as soon as its existence is ascertained, every avenue by which abuses can possibly cuter in to its affairs. Two instances are here introduced, to show how the rights of the people may be violated leaving the appointment of electors in the hands of the legislature. Wc copy them from mr Miles, on the accuracy of whose slate, meats full reliance may ho placed. From nil attentive perusal of them it will be manifest that this mode is subject to one of the ob jections which wu have urged against the pre ceding. The whole of the votes are almost sure to lie efficient, hut the will ol the majority may not be expressed. “Pennsylvania, in the year 1800, gave eight vines to Mr. Jefferson, and seven to Mr. Allans, as President of the United States.riiis strange proceeding hap petted from the following causes: “ By the law that regarded the presi dential election of 17'Jll, Pennsylvania, through a general ticket, gave fourteen votes to Mr. Jefferson and one vote to Mr. Adams—the political opinion of one of the gentlemen on the ticket not hav ing been clearly ascertained, perhaps.— But this law, like tho laws of all the cither states relative to tho same subject, was temporary—it had relation only to the ensuing election, and “died a natural death” when that election had been held In the session of the state legislature of 179U-I800 another law on tire subject me jngnt to have been passed—hut, though the state was decidedly “democratic,” and the house of representatives so by a large majority, the senate, accidentally, had a “federal” majority of two, and, from the refusal of the latter body, no law was passed. “These were “team times.” Those who were not in politics at that day, can have only a faint idea of the force of power and party. So, without any law on the subject, (tie legislature met in N vember 1800, when electors of president must have been appointed, or the vote ol the state haw. been lost. The house of representatives again had a “ republican majority,” hut the senate still retained its “federal” superiority. Toe proceed ings on the case would make a small pamphlet. It was now, (and designedly,) too late to elect the elec tor. by the pe pie, cither by a general ticket oi in hi (nets, and the other mode of appointing them, by a joint ballot of the two tram It cs of the legislature, was necessarily pro posed. The senate mused to agree tliev would have a co~ current vote, or tv vote at all. Tnis p.ai ttca had never be 7 lore been used in a case of this kind— I but that was nothing; the senate had its ' majority oI two, Id to 11, and tne “Spar tan band," as they were called and toast ed at that day, would not yield. A de gree of excitement prevailed in the state almost equal to that created by the tin just ballntings that afterwards took place it. the house of representatives of tit- U States, m Feb. 1801, when Mr. Jetfersoi i an.) Mr. Burr were voted for. At las’, the perseverance of the senate forced tlii I compromise—that the election should be I held by a joint ballot of the two houses ; hut the senate were to nominate eight and die liVier house the same number of person* to be ballotted fur—so, a state was entitled to fifteen electors, eight iniglit be appointed that were favorable to Mr. Jefl'eisou, and seven who would support Mr. Adams; and thus, in fact, the state had only one operative vote o the presidential election, though entitled to fifteen,* all which, had the elet tors been chosen by a general ticket or a joint ballot of the legislature, would have been [ for Mr. Jclfeison—or, it by districts, have r Hood about as 9 is to 0, or as 10 is to D, I io favorof the election of that gentleman. * At the session of the legislature ol l Drew Jersey, 1811-12, a law was passed 1 directing that the electors of president should be chosen by the people with a general ticket. At tl.o election of the members of the legislature in Oct. I81i, fhe “federalists” obtained a majority.— I Tlte general assembly met a few days be I fore the time necessarily appointed for pi the election of electors. About three days anterior thereto, tliev passed an act annulling the act of the Inst session, and Mivested the right of electing the electors in themselves! S>> short was the time al lowed to nuke known this change, that the people were almost literally deprived of the right of suffrage at the moment when they were proceeding to the polls to exert it! The consequence was, that the undivided vote of New Jersey w as I given to Mr. Clinton, which the people, | by a large majority, would have given to JVlr. Madison. ) These tilings have occurred—they are mat ters of history. They may occur attain. Wc tuay see simitar scenes acted among ourselves before many years pars away. \\ ho is there ■that will not ague with us, iliat their occur- fence ought to he guarded against, with the ut- ■ most pos-ihle care I By Gaunt Title!.—'This, in our humble ^ estimate of things, is tile only cfteetual mode by which the will of the majority can be fairly ascertained, and at thesame titan expressed in aurli a way as that tin* whole ol the soles oi .i Iri-n sha'I ha elffr -nt It {Select be Jertied that—-in Georgia, for example—die nrvr-ig;-:. on the ticket, who shall have the highest mi te ller of votes, will he the choice of the majority of the whole of the population of the state, w ho are permitted, by the laws of it, to bas e a oice in the matter. Neither can it be denied, thut the nine men, elected under these cir cumstances, have an hundred chances to one, in favorof their all voting in the same way.— It is a matter of no consequence, svliat parly ma ny have the ascendency. It will be careful to ascertain, before the election comes on, which of the cutididates will be disposed to advance its views:—and tlicvotesof its members will be given accordingly. Nothing can defeat this result, but the insincerity of tne candidates, who may pledge themselves to the people to vote in one way, and yet vote directly in anoth er. Yet in this country, where public agents are so immediately responsible to their con stituents, we entertain but slight apprehensions of the occurrence of this inconvenience. Our opinion, then, is, clearly and explicitly, that the constitution of the U. States is defec tive in the part to which me have had reference in these remarks—that it ought to be amended —that the amendment ought to prtsnriLe an uni form mode of appointing electors—and that this uniform mode ought to require thut elec tors be appointed by thepeople, in the several states, voting by General r l'ickct. The evils arising out of the present state of tilings are becoming,every day, more manifest. Imperious necessity requires that something should lie done hy Congress ; nnd wc are grat ified to know that, at an early period of tlte npproachmg session, an attempt will be made to remove the evils out of which complaint has atiseti. A distinguished member of Congress informed one of (tie editors of tills paper last summer, that lie intended, among the first tilings be did, to make a proposition » bich, b thought would reconcile confiietiug opinions on this important subject. Wlmltlie propose tion would lie, be lmd not settled witli sufiieieiit precision, in bis own mind, at the time when this conversation was had with him. COLONIZATION. REPORT Of the Putnam Auxiliary Society for colonizing free persons of color. [continued.] The managers are not apprised wheth er several auxiliary colonization Socie ties formed in this State, have afforded any efficient aid to the parent Society If they have not, it is probably owing to other circumstances titan a change of principle; anil it is probabk- that one or two active individuals in cacti Society, (and mi the exertions of a few such men tlte progress of all Societies depends,) might tender that aid which is so much needed by the parent Society, and the American colony, at this important junc ture. Tlte managers have the satisfac tion, however, of knowing tliat nna sister Society at least, in litis S ate, that of Jackson county, lias co-operated with its funds. Tlte Society was on a former occasion, informed of the cause of our failure to receive some interesting reports from tlte parent Society. An unfortunate mis take in the name of the Secretary of the Putnam Society, has probably prevented tho reception of some other valuable communications. Several letters how ever, as well as sevctal copies of the filth andVixtliannual reports of die parent So ciety, have been received from their agent, in (lie course of this year. In ad dition to the pressing call for pecuniary aid, founded on such urgent circumstan ces as (he managers of the Putnam Soci ety believe ought to command attention, tlte letters, and more especially the re ports, contain matters of great impor tance. Some of the most interesting particulars, drawn from these and oilier sources, lint managers will now rake the pleasure, (for their general character is Highly gratifying,) ol laying before the Society—making •» free use of tlte lan guage. and ideas of others, especially the managers of tlte p .rent Society. Occa sionally, however, they will he led to no ttce matters of gloomy interest. Snell will Ijp the death ol some valued friends; t ie assaults of the ti .lives on our infant cslanlisiiment; and the continued prose cution of the African slave trade. “The sixth annual meeting of tlte A- nvtricau Oulourz.ition Society, was held to the Ciptlol, Washington City, on Thursday, February 30di, 1823 ” Tlte place of llteir ilieeiiuu, an edifice di led to national legislation, might, if their friends had not so many better arguments, he insisted on, as evidence of the Itigli es timation in which they are held. The resolutions adopted w ere introduced chief ly hy distinguished southern men. The manngeis advert to this circumstance for the purpose of preventing alarm in the minds of snuihern men, in relation to a certain species of piopcrly. Among the resolutions adopted, is one introduced by tien’I. li. (! llarper, formeily of South Carolina, now of Mar .land, presenting the thanks of tlte Society to lire Presi dent and Officers of tho Massachusetts Society to aiil in the suppression of the African Slave trade, for the kind assist ance lent bv them, to the agent of the hoard, in his recent visit to New F.ng- l.iiid, and assuring them that the parent Society entertain for tnem sentiments of high consideration and esteem: another introduced hy Oen’I. IP. Jones, acknowl edging the obligations of tlte Society to Governor Sir Charles Me'.arthy and the Honorable K. McCauley, rite K*v. Mr. Flood, Dr. Shower and the Rev. Mr. Johnson, of Sierra Leone, for tneir kind attention to toe Socbty’s Agent, and to tlte Colonists during their residence at FouraliB.iy: another, introduced hy the Honorable ll’m. D- II itliamson, giving to Ur. J2. Ayres, tltb ilia, ks ol lire Socie ty, for his ilnpoit'jnt services while acting as agent On the coast of Africa*, another, introduced by Mr. Uurley, declaring that tlte Society cherish a grateful remem brance of the pious exertions of the late Mrs. Ashmun; and another, which, how ever, seems to he the first which was adopted, declaring that tin* thanks of the Society were doe m tiic managers and officers, fur the faithful discharge of their duties during the lust year. The una nimity with which these resolutions wet adopted, shew-, not only that the friends of colonization have reason to i onfide in the managers of the parent Society, hut that southern proprietors havt just cause of alarm. Roth these | lions are also sustained hy the talents, standing and interests, national, section ul, and individual, of the members and managers of the parent Society. The managers of the Pu naui Society cannot forbear presuming to the mem bers, tire following extract from tho last antnl report of the managers of th e pa rent Society; whose language continue to be the language o fhojn and confidence. “Great designs are, in exception,”say the managers, ‘♦seldom attended with im mediate success. This remark is most strikingly true of those designs which tend to .improve the moral condition of mankind. “Those causes which change the char acters of nations, though they may he simple in their nature, are certain in their operation; and it is not until long alter their first influence is felt on the public mind, tliut they are known in their full and extended puwer. “The board of managers of the Amer ican Colonization Society commenced their efforts with no hope of exemption from those discouragements which are occasionally felt by all who labor in the cause of humanity and virtue. They knew too well the ordinary faio of benev olent enterprizes, to imagine that their progress would be unimpeded; and they saw too clearly the difficulties peculiar to their own object, to expect its accom plishment without the experience of both opposition and calamity. “Who, that is accustomed to reflection docs not perceive that the design of our Society, while it appeals for aid, to the inteiest of the South, and the humanity of the North, and to the religion of the whole country, is necessarily of such a character, as to array against it the preju dices of numerous individuals through out tire land? Hence tlte managers have been represented by some ns the enemies of subordination, by others, as the advocates of slavery, and Ity others, as deranged hy enthusiasm. Conscious, however, of the rectitude of their princi ples, and convinced of the feasibility of their plans, they have persevered, con scions that their motives will one day, be duly appreciated, and trusting their cause to the ruler of the world. “It is with no ordinary pleasure that the board express their opinion, that at tto time since the institution of their So ciety, were their friends so numerous as at the present moment, nor public senti ment so favorable to their object. “ Recent public events did, indeed, ex cite feelings, especially at the North, hos tile to their design ; hut as these feelings had their origin cither in misapprehen sion, or in that spirit of animosity which forms its judgment without (he distinc lions of reason, they have already began to subside; and the hoard consider the remaining motions of enmity or dissatis faction as only “the, working of a sea before a calm, which rocks itself to rest.” This very opposition will, they have no doubt, he rendered subservient to the in terests of Africa; because the public mind, when settled into tranquility, must discern the unreasonableness of its own prejudices; and instructed by experience must bo prepared to aid the cause of col onization, entirely convinced of its im portance, and guarded forever against inconstancy ami suspicion. “Had l lie hoard, in tlreir last report, predicted that, before another anniversa ry, tlteir proceedings would result in some gre^t achievement, demonstrating to all the world the wisdom of their plans, they had evinced understandings as weak as their expectations were vain. That man is ill prepared to act for the licnefu of the world, whose benevolence is confined to present generations, and who refuses to promote a scheme, because posterity can qnly witness its accomplishment, and eri joy tlte (illness of its salutary influence. “Though, in reviewing the past year, the board find no extraordinary effects of tlietr exertions, which they might re late for the sake of those who will act on ly in concert with mirarulous agency; vet they would be insensible to religious duty, were they to fail in offering thanks to II eaven, for a measure of success e- qtial to their expectations; sufficient to confirm hope and invigorate resolution.” It will he remembered that in the month of December, 1821, Dr. Ayres, •gent of the parent Society, aided by Lieutenant Stockton, of the U. S. Navy, procured a suitable site on the river Mes- surado, on the African coast, for the es tablishment of our Colony. Concern ing its situation, only one from among tiie favorable testimonies obits value will now he piosentcd. Lieut. Slot klou says “it lias been for many years (if histori cal repprt he true) anxiously wi-lijsil hy many nations.” It will also lie remem bered, that immediately after the pur chase, Dr. Ayres made arrangements to have the Colonists removed from their temporary residence in the British colony. They arrived at our establishment on the 7lh January, 1822, leaving behind several troublesome colonists, wlto had evinced a spirit of insubordination dur ing their residence at Fourah Bay, and w ho neglected the injunction to prepnre for removal. It was soon ascertained that much dissatisfaction prevailed a- gamst king Peter, fur the cession of (he territory; that lie had been threatened w ith death, and that the Ciiicfs had de reed that our people should leave the coast. Relieving their title to he valid, the colonists proceeded to unload, and prepare for building. In an interview with the Kings, “the fiimncss and en- gy" of Dr. Ayres, “checked the ri sing opposition and restored peace." “During the month of February,” (last year) say the parent Society, “ dis ease prevailed among the colonists, and prevented any vigorous exertions.” Af ter a necessary voyage to Sierra Leone, l)r. Aytcs returned to our Colony on the 7th April. “ He found rite Colony” say the parent Society, “ in confusion and aland.” “The spirit of hostility, excited by a dispute between the Cap tain” (of a British vessel, who had been permitted, in tiie absence of Dr. Ayres, rolake water from our colony.) “and otu of the Kings, added to the powerful mo- live presented hy the presence of a French vessel, waiting for her comple ment fif slaves, induced the natives (o arrack her with purposes of plunder. Several of our people engaged in her defence. In the contest which ensued, and which they in vain endeavored to prevent, two of rite natives were unfortu nately killed , and on the succeeding day a British soldier and one of our colonists. Through the criminal inadvertence of a British soldier, wlto discharged a cannon in thn immediate vif imiy ol the Store house, tltis building took fire; and with it, most of the ( Instiling, provisions and utensils of the colony, were destroyed. *• Dr. Ayres,” < uniinue the parent So ciety, “ perceived rhe necessity for an im mediate convention of the Kings. In this convention, he gave a concise history of his proceedings since Ins arrival in Af rica, and maintained with spirit and bold ness, liis ngjit to the purchased territory. After some opposition and delay, the whole assembly, amounting In 17 Kings and Jt half Kings, assented to the settle mini of the Colony, ai d on the 2Mh April (last year) the American (lag was hoisted on rape Montsetido." Notwithstand ing I lie distressing o earner cy whi^i the board will be compelled to notice in the sequel, the well informed philanthropist cannot but indulge the hope, and the be lief, that on this day, after all our misfor tunes, was at length effected an establish ment, which, undei the. fostering hands of the people anti the governments, will confer a lasting benefit on Aliiea—eter nal Imnoi and advantage on Amcrira. “The commencement of the rains, (say the managers of the parent Sm irty) the unexpected difficulty of building, arid the impossibility of obtaining native la bor, on account of the terenl disturban ces, conspired to render the situation of the colonists at this time, both critical and distressing.” For the purpose ol giving the necessary information to the parent Society, and obtaining supplies i'or the Colony, Dr. Ayres proceeded to the United Suites in June. About the same time the brig Strong sailed from Baltimore, for Africa, having on hoard Mr. J. P. Ashmun, as temporary Agent of the Society, Mrs. Ashmun,ami thirty- five colonists. Mr. Ashmun, as Agent of the United States, carried out fifteen reeuptnred Africans, from this State.— Tiio Strong arrived at our Colony on the Silt August, last year; and Mr. Aslt- imrii immediately proceeded to adopt measures for the defence and harmony of the establishment. By the. return of rhe Strong, the Society weie furtiished with much Important information. “All the intelligence from Africa du ring the last year,” say the vety intelli gent alid respectable managers of the parent Society, “has served to confirm the board iri their previous opinions; and confident they are that it is only re quisite to diffuse correct information con cerning • the condition and prospects of the Colony, to obtain foi it from all parts of the country, that immediate aid which will render it the perpetual light of Africa, aifd an eternal monument to our nation’s praise.” “There tire now in Africa,” say the managers of the parent Society, in their Inst report, “about cue bundled and thirty settlers, occupying a station which according to English, as well as Ameri can testimony, surpasses in advantages for a colonial establishment, any other situation utt the coast.” Since the dale of that repott, the brig Oswego has pro ceeded to the coast, with upwards of six ty scletted settlers, furnished with ample supplies and means of deleuce ; thus add ing to the zeal, the intelligence, tlte pie ty, and the strength of the establishment. At the. date of the last report, a town had been commenced, comlortablo hou ses erected, and works of defence thrown up. “ The harbor,” say the managers of the parent Society, “may, with very small expense, be rendered excellent; tlte lands are easily cleared and cultiva ted ; the soil is rich, and yields in abun dance the most valuable productions of the tropical climates.” Among the eo lored persons who had passed a year in Africa, nut nil instance of sickness lutd occurred duiing the season; and among those who went out in tho Strong, the fe ver was, “tu most cases mild and easily subdued.” The mumgers of the parent Society suitably notiie the lamented death of Mrs. Ashtiuni, wlto fell a sacri fice to Iter disinterested kindnes, in ad ministering, during the intervals of a fe ver by which she was attacked, to the wants and sufferings of others. Experi ence hits shewn the fact, that the Afri can climate is more noxious to the con stitution of white than uf colored per sons. This unerring teacher has shewn that thn climate would not lie materially unfavorable to (lie colored people of the northern Slates, and that those of the southern would incur but little danger hy emigration. Notwithstanding the greater danger incurred hy white per sons, hy a residence on the coast of Af rica, it is believed that the parent Society can command the services of an ample number of Agents. It is ascertained that a desire exten sively prevails among tiie natives, to learn our language, and the arts. Dr. Ayres was prevented from bringing to this country, for the purpose of education, the son of the principal King near our Colony, at Ins request, only by tile reluc tance of the hoy to leave his native shores. At tlte idea of learning our method of making clothes, the King ex pressed almost rapturous joy. Negocialions for trade with the na tives had been entered into, nnd although subsequent occurrences interrupted the negocialions, yet there can he no doubt that after the subsequent pacification, they were renewed, and have probably succeeded. That there are sufficient materials for such trade, we have the most credible testimony—testimony on which a number *f intelligent citizens have formed a company in Baltimore, for the purpose of trailing to the Colony. By the operations of this company, whose fust vessel was expected to sail about May I rst, important facilities w ill he af forded for the cheap transportation of settlers. As an earnest of the benefit to be im parled to Africa, by the interior anti ex terior operations of our Schools, Minis ters, tec. several native youths have been admitted In a residence in our Colony, for purposes of improvement. Of (licit capacity for improvement we are iio long er permitted to doubt. To the long list of individual Africans who have distin guished themselves for piety and science, may be added a community reared un der the influence of rite amiable, and an other, constituted by tho exercise of the terrible, faculties of our nature. Tlte disposition among llte freo persons of color to emigrate, is constantly in- creasitiL'. In Petersburg, Virginia, they have asked of the parent Society, per mission to go to our Colony at their ow n expense, and have determined to make preparations for S voygo. In other pla ces they l ave given evidence of a simi lar disposition. The colonists that went nut in the Oswego, were “selected from a great number of applicants.” If Geor gia lias not derived her full share ol ben efit, it is because, notwithstanding the praiseworthy zeal of some of her t zoos, the advantages of emigration have not been snfficicully explained to her free persons of color. Tltis .State has, for some years, dis countenanced the liberation of persons of color among ns. It would perhaps he impolitic, and even dangerous, to do oth erwise. Vet Georgia lias no objection tu their liberation m the country of their fathers, with tins consent ol their owners As evidences of the fact, wo cite the act of the last session of the Legislature, for the liberation of a slave, upon r lie petition of Iter owiter, on condition that she would leave the Stale; and the well known in vitation to the colonization Society, to transport certain Aliioans to our estab lishment, who might have been sold for tbe benefit of ((he Sta’c. It is enlarge ment in this country, nnd not transpoil.1 non to Africa, that is dreaded by the South. An argument in favor of our es tablishment, is, rliat it will afford a reccp tai Ic for colored persons, w ho arc thrown lino the class of free persons hy the acts of tlietr owners, and the operation of law; who, for various reasons, become posts in this country, but might be useful i ilizcns in Africa.
