~r nri the part >ff the fenate,
•,,ive coai'uiered the propofitions
,y t hc committee of the houfe
>.’ representatives, to which the
following exceptions occur.
The iirft cannot be admitted
b ’caui'e it is deftroying the priii
yHe on which the amendments
, J the fenate are founded, viz.
vlcrving to the feverul bran
ds of the legiOavure their ref
. , ctive conftitutional rights.
This exception reftingagainft
i!\c principle therein contained,
}r B unneceflary to notice the
ether propofitions, as they of
courfe will be rejected ; but if
the principle were conceded,
tlie fecond propofirion is not
iuffdently explicit, the number
to be taken from each branch of
t'rr Icoiflature not being inferted.
1 o • o
On the whole, the committee
does not difeover that any ad
vantage can refult from changing
die principle.
The only object would appear
to irfped the number to be ap
pointed by each branch, and the
kntiments of the committee
have already been unequivocally
exp re (fed on that point.
Repeated conferences having
already been had on the fubjeft,
die committee on the part of the
fen ate cannot consider the pro
pofitions made by the committee
on the part of the houfe of re
prefentatives as framing the balls
of a lice conference on the elec
tr rial bill, but rather a con
da five opinion.
This opinion having been op
pofed to their fentiments, the
committee of the fenate cannot
agree to recommend to that
body to recede from their amend
ments.
Upon the receipt of this reply
the committee, conceiving that
• o
all hones of fulfilling the oblip-a
a _ O O
tions which they were bound to
fulfil by their oaths to the hate
and federal conftitutions, prepa
red and prefented their report
on Tuefday morning.
■J O
A few members of the repub
licans, in the hopes of hill ob
taining a vote for the hate, ha
uily prepared and offered to the
honfe another bill, founded on
a fpirit of accommodation and
conciliation ; the bafis of which
was to allow the fenate the choice
a number of perfons as elec
tors, upon the condition of the
cond; rational mode of joint vote,
which they had already acknow
ledged to be conhitutional, being
adopted.
Ihe expediency of the cafe,
-ad the fhortnefs of the period,
induced the propofers of the bill
move for a third reading the
day, and to difpenfe with
printino*.
r~p * t O
t he bill was hahily read, but
r j J
a)me members of the republi
cans not approving of an idea
tyV hich prevailed, that the bill
’’ en t to furrender the principle
d pint vote, upon a divifion
| )n die fir ft fedion, the bill was
ayes 30, noes 36. And
r ”e houfes immediately adjourn
ed.
Such was the ftate of tilings
,)n 1 uefday afternoon.
Y v e learn that the bill was

I ordered to be printed. A

end to the weight of this ftatje in

and John K. Colhoun, efq. as

in the room of col. Jacob Read,
whofe term expires.
We alfo learn, that the elec

of this ftate, to vote lor a pre
sident and vicc-prcfldent of die
United States, met on the 3d

viz.
John Hunter, efq. in the chair;

Simkins, Andrew Love, Jofcph
Blythe, and Wade 1-Hampton
The electors having been pro
vioufiy notified by his lienor the
Lieutenant Governor, of their
appointment, at eleven o’clock
in the fore noon they coiiVcned
at the ftate-houie, conformably
to the ad cl the legifiature cf
the ftate in that cafe made and
pro\ iced. Ihe conllitution and
law of the L nited State:, and
the aforefaid ad of the iegifia
ture, as they relate to the elec
tion of aprefident and vice pre
fident, were read ; after which,
the electors proceeded to bailor,
and upon counting the votes, it
appeared that Thomas J lfflr
son cf Virginia, had eight \ otes,
and that Aaron Burr, of New
York, had alfo eight votes, and'
that no other perfon was men
tioned on the ballots of the faid
eledors.
The eledors tlien proceeded
to fign and feal three certified
lifts of the perfons voted for,
and the number of votes for
each ; one of which lifts, with
the certificate of the l ieutenant
Governor to the eledors, and a
copy of the aforefaid ad of the
legifiature cf the ftate, was tranf
mitted to the prefident of the
fenate of the United States, by
Mr. GeorgeM. Brown, appoint
ed by the eledors, exprefs, for
the purpofe. The fecond, with
the fame acccmpanyments, was
depofited by the eledors in a
body in poll-office of Co
lumbia, direded to the prefident
of the fenate of the United
