The method of appointment, by the States ot
clcctors of Presidcnt and VicM'rcsidcnt bas re
cently attructed renewed inteivst, by reason of a
dcparture by thc State ?f Michigan from thc
method which had become uniform in all the States.
Frior to 1812 various BMthadfl had bBBB "sc<l by
the ditTerent States, and even by the same Btate.
In some the choiw was made by the Legislatuie;
in others electors were ch-.seu by distnet. ,_but
more genemlly by the voter. of the whole Btate
BBOB a gcneral ticket. The movement toward
U.e adoptiou of the laat-nauied method had aa
early Ls-giuuins: and went ateadily forward amon*
the State*, until ln 1832 there remamed but B
sliiflle State. Buiith Carolina. that had not adapted
it That State until the Civil War coutinued to
clioose irs electora by a vote of the Legislature.
but after tl.e wur chauged ito method, and Mfl
formed to the practice of the other States. lor
nearly aixty years all the States BBTB oue have
ai.pointed their electora by a popular vote upon
a general tioket, and lor nearly tlurty years this
method wns univeh.nl.
\fter a full test of other methods, without im?
portant div.siou or disbent in any State and with?
out any purpose of party advantage, as we must
helieve, but eolely upon tlie couaideratiorw that
uiilformity was deairabla and that a general elec?
tion in territorial .liviaioua not BUbjeOt to change
waa most consistent with the popular character
ot our institutiona, best presorved tha BquaUtf ?.r
the votcra, and porfeotly removed the choice or
I'resident from the baneful intluence of thfl
"gerrymander," the prncth.f all the States
waa beaaght into banaony. That this conourrence
ahould now Be broken is, I think, au unlortunate
end even a tlireateniug epiaode, and one that mav
well BUggebt whotier the States thal still give
their approvul to the old and prevailmg method
o_/hi not to secure, by a conatitutional a.iic.ul
