from gpvii>K so pr-*ai an extension to our re
murks We ’ake fnr our .ext, ’he doctrines
advanced by the committee in support of he
sys em proposed as an amendment to the con
stitution of the United States- We will ob
serve before a y further, and let it be
well unders’ood, tha* we are not so much a
gainst the district system, so strenuously re
commended by'he committee, as we are op
posed to the principles upon tvhich the gene
ral ticket system is reprobated Those prin
ciples conseqoen 1\ must be the pricipai ob
jttet we have in view in (he following remarks.
In support of he plan recommended, (he
distrie sy stem, the committee say, that un- |
detr (he existing system, a party being a ma
jority of’the people, may adopt meant res cal
culated to deprive the minority of ’heir just
rights. This is a bold assertion, which, after
re flee ing on all its bearings, will be found al
together untenable, being in direct opposi
tion <o the fundamental principle upon ‘ Inch
the Dublic institutions of the country are es
•ah tshed, ’hat, in all cases, a majority shall
govern. Assuredly the committee cannot de
sire the destruction of this great feature of
our government; they cannot recommend ’he
abolition of the most democra ical provision
of the federal constitution, with the in en ion
of rendering *hat in9'rument purely and en
tirely aristocratical; they cannot hat j
the people would tamely surrender into the
hands of a few, the power they collec'iVt ly
possess, and th exercise of which, n *ts wi
dest latitude, ensures their happi , the
enjoyment of civil and political liberty, and
the prosperity of the country? Th*s <s *m
pha tic?ly a country of majorities. In ail ou<
laws this principle predomina es; and if here
vtre*-e no other feature of democracy m out
public institutions, this one a!*ne w*uld, ut
any event, if s'ric lv adhered to, .preserve l>e
coun>ry from the encroachments of tiie !eis
popular departments of the g >vernmen- I'l.e
federalists, ever since their downfall, have*x
er;ed all their influence in favo- of ihe in to
duction in theconsti ution. of a plan by which
•he voice of the maj >ritv m giit be rendered
powerless, and ’hat of the minority, power,
ful Judging from ’he langu ge f the re
por, it appears (hat ’he committee wish lo
effectuate that plan of he federal par-v, which
would in tac‘ destrov the great pr.nciple of
our government, ami es’a tish the dang rous
doctrine, tha’ rities in a free government
ought no’ to have alwavs the management of
the concerns of tho na ion The republican
par y for'hese’wentv ‘h-ee vears have had
the power in their hands in the administration
of the government, in consequence of being
composed of a great maj riv of he ,icople.
Has tnecoun’ry prospered under their admin
istration? Has the country suffered? Have
no the public institutions been p ese v.d in
iheir original puri’y ? Have he peop e com
plained tha* their rights and pr vileges had
been invaded? W ha’ answers could ii com
mittee give to these ques’ions ? The federal
ists since *he time just :i,* s have been
in minori y Have ’hev been deprived of their
rights’ Have h**v not pa- ictpa ed mali the
blessings of the republ-rau admimv ra ions of
Mes-rs Jefle-.son and Mad is m ? And yet, the
commit ee sav, thai a plan ugh ’o bea

| ** l h e federalist* int power, a*id govern |

w)a; c ndi'ion would ‘hev have placed the U.
S’a es ? The rights and privileges of the peo
ple would have been absorbed in a senate for
iife, and in an all-powerful executive; the
people would have groaned under heavy taxes
f to support the extravagance a.id splendid mea
] sures of an ar’stocra ical administration; the
bay ones would hav*- been employed to execute
lie laws, and he people enervated by a se
i tes of oppressions, would have sunk to the
i us d.-gree of degradation. What has preven
t'd ‘his accumaiation of miseries? The ma
jo-ity of -[je people fairly and powerfully ex
pressed It mav be said, ‘hat during Mr.
\dams’ administration the republican party, in
minority, were ippressed. Gra icd. Bui his
c* cumsiance is a trong argument m favour
>f he ps tion we have taken. If he grea
principle of our mstr ution* had no existed,
‘he federal party wouid probably be jet ;n

personal aggi andizement on die 1 tbc-rtics of
’he people. If we were to take in considers- ‘
ion die present condition of the nation* of 1
Europe, we would find* many arguments to !
j support us in our remarks: We would find
’hat a minority in be respective European g#
vernmen'.s, govern despo icaliy die grta ma
j >rity of ike people, and that, if the Voice of
tha’ majorl*y were to be heard, the govern
rn-tus under which they live, would soon un
dergo a complete reform: —It is very seldom
tha a great majority of il<e people err.. . *
Th% committee are of tiie opinion, thai the
general ticket system takes from the people
; tne elective power. Tins is indeed an mepn
j gi’uous opinion. How can the elective power
j be better secured to the people than byagen
, era* lick?* 9 This sy* em is more democrari
’ ca', more consonant to the republican jirinci
| pies of this government than any other By
voting in this manner, the ticket ui’ every cu
| izen has uie effect contemplated by the law,
j which requires that hi will slra.ii be well as
i cer aintd. In each sta e, where the people
form on:* consolidated mass, no other plan can
he. adopted to ascerta.n me real sense of .’he
majority, at the elections for member# ol
Congress and elec -irs of President and Vice
President of ihe United S'a.es; for it is nn
possible for any man, however popular he may
be, wha ever may be his proficiency in intrigue,
to con roi, under the general ticket system,
the voice of the majority. He cannot be om
nipresent— he cannot deceive so large a num-. \
ber of voter:** if hi* views are ambi ioua and his 1
■mu’ ires dangerous. Can he find o many fi ieuds \
to advnea his cause and promote ms elec
tion o office, if the objec t* o subvert the
es'ab isiied principles of the country, or
io satisfy an inordma e appe itc for nonours
and riche** f Who, in his euligh'ened coun
try, would t-nhsi under the banner of such an
individual t A f vv may possibly be found,
■> but no a suffic'd# number to buss public
opinion in favour of a demagogue or a danger
ous and ambitious citizen. In the general
ticke system less art and intrigue aieprac'i
seu m-r- o; he;-, for the more the sph re
oi ac ion is enlarged, *i,v wfficui. will il
be for intriguers to reach m ame Uie txiu.e.-
ties, for the purpose of giving the direction
they please to elec’ ions.
Another heterodox opinion of the commit
tee, is hus expressed, “In as a'e of any con
siderable extent, almost every candidate
in the nature of things, be unknown to he
great body of the people” Common sense
plainly demonstra'es the fallacy of this op n
ion, if the committee allude to successful can
dida es. Facts stare us in the face which tie
commit ee cannot deny The sta es, where
the general ticket ■& in force, arc bel
ter represented in than tlu.se divided
in districts : the reasons are obvious A man
of very ordinary alents may be good and vir
tuous, may, owing to those qua ides, be res
pected and esteemed in the cncumference of
j a district. The influeuco of virtue ac* on the
• people of that community, and they are more
apt *o gve their votes for a man they know,
titan for another of great abilities.and equai
virtue living at a distance, with whom they
aie not personally acquainted. By a general
ticket none can be candidates wish any pr*s- |
pect of success, bu those that are known to
the general mass of uie voters ; and can any :
man who does not possess a fair reputation
for talents, patriotism, and vi-sur, expect to
receive'-hat *uppor from toe people to which
n f, ne bit he pa riotic and able can pretend 2
We wi'l admi , however, ha* ,n some instan
ce*. men of ord.nari alents have been eleced
jointly with men of grea’ abiii ies, but such
ms ance** are rare, an.l mus be at tributed o
| other causes unconnected with he presen sub.
jeci and to a deficiency of tale*ns tn other can.
, dida’es. In die general ticket system corrup
tun and intrigue have less power. A small
number of voters can be made the tools of |
some popular demagogues ; it is impossible :o
exercise die sanr.e influence by ‘he same means

purchase a few votes, but no man, in Georgia

Tits committee assume ‘he positions, hat
i “’he panofvodng by a general tickfo, i* not
consifctem with the true ‘heory o a popular
repreaen'ation,” and, ’ha’ “the general ticket
system, by entirely suppressing the voice of
the minority, would cause the repre*en*ation
from each s &'e. in Congress, to be unanimous,
on one>i'le or die other” This is no* a con
solidated government.; it is a federa ive asso
cia ion be ween sovereign sta’es lor certain
purposes It follow# then that each state has
a right, and it is its intenesi, in all the transac
tions that concern he union, to exercise a rel
ative itifluc-nce Destroy ’ha’ relative influ
tuce, and a consolidation of the different parts
of the unmn must soon be effected The rtp
resentauve system adop'ed in bis country, in
sures to eacb sta e this relative influence, by
proportioning the number of representatives to
the population of the states. Os vv ha r influence
wou f d be a state, if is representation were di
vided, and were not the organs of the majori y
of die people by whom ‘hey have been elect
ed/ A>. we said above, the majority must go
vein and dica'e, and the minority submit,
consequently, the najority ought ’O be repre
sented in Congress, the imercs’s of the minor
ity being incorporated in ’hose of the whole
body of ihe people. This :sa republican doc
