Fki.i.ow-Citi/.f.ns: You have already been apprised of tile fact, tliut a National Convention of Republican De* I I** ip tea was rvccntly held in the city of mltiinore. for tin* purpose of ascertaining and representing the wishes I of tin* Republican party, and giving it effect in tin* cn l suing I’icsiJcntial Flection. '1 hi* Convention was col , lcclcd from various parts of our Union, and was both nu | merou* and resjiectulile. Among other duties, it was , pleased to assign to us the important tine of addressing j our Republican brethren upon the present interesting i crisis of our political affairs, and enforcing upon them, in | the manner wo might deem best, the urgent necessity of j harmony and union, in the approaching contest. The ! i subject upon which it has thus been made our duty to , address you, is not only one which deserves to be alien | lively considered, but is, in our opinion, intimately con . neclcd with the existence of the Republican party of the Union, and tiie efficacy of popular elections. Feel i mg, us we do, the importance and delicacy of the trust j which Inis thus been confided to us, we shall proceed to i discharge it in the manner we deem the most respectful j to you, and the best calculated to meet the wishes and approbation of those by whose authority we act. I he high and exalted station of President of such a ! Nation, the power and pxfronage of the office, and the ! number of competitors, (who according to the genius of . ‘>or Institutions, will always aspire to the station,) enn I not fail to subject the I'eople of the United Slates to all | Rtune agitations which have, in nil ages, marked the pro | grrt,s ot every elective Government on earth. Indeed, ambitious struggles for political power of this character, ! with all the bad passions they necessarily engender, were not only regarded by our political Fathers, ns one of the i most formidable evils which threaten our free Institutions, | but probably the severest trial to which they would he exposed.. Ilence the obligation and duty which they so strongly inculcated upon the people, of guarding against I and mitigating these evils, by vigilance, moderation and I caution. The interesting question of, “ Who is to be our next President?” is now fairly before the Nation, and consi I de red in connection with all its probable consequences, j may justly be regarded as one of the most important which has been a'dialed in our country. In its issue, are not only involved the fate of Democratic Republican principles, but the whole course of our national policy, j Nay, more, it will comprehend in its result, not only the : judgment of the present, hut a direction of the future 1 course of the administration of our National Government; , and that, too, pronounced by tile highest authority of the Republic, t he sovereign ty of the People. Such a contest, I at such a time, cannot Full to produce the deepest political I and party excitements ; and the more attentively the sub ject shall he considered, the deeper will become the con viction of its importance, and the necessity of vigilance ; *«»«! caution on the part of the People. It must, moreover, , fellow-citizens, he now very apparent, that in a country j like ours, of such vast extent and diversified interests, it j can seldom happen, in the course of human events, that any citizen will possess such pre-eminent qualifications and popularity, over all others, as to command the votes of i a decided majority of. the People; and consequently the | best manner of concentrating the popular will,and giv | in* it effect, in relation to the Candidates for those high ; offices, will not only attract a large share of public at I trillion, hut will be regarded by the whole Nation as a ! subject of absorbing interest. Such has already been ! tlie case, in relation to tbe appioaclung election. The People feel it the more sensibly, too, inasmuch as the evils which must flow from filling olhees so much sought I atter, ami ot such vast responsibility, with men who arc j neither the first nor second choice of a majority, are ; greutly aggiavatod by the defects of our Constitution, j wInch devolves the election, in case no individual has re I eeivrd a majority of the electoral votes, upon the House of Representatives. It was to prevent the mischiefs ! which might result from having a Chief Magistrate thus | imposed upon the Nation, contrary to its wishes, that the * Democracy ot the Union (following the example of their | Republican fathers,) have lately united in a Nationjl i Convention, and agreed to present to their country can ; d.dutew for the two high Executive offices of the Go vernment. in me early history of our Confederation corn I raon danger* produced concert of action, and in the ttvo first elections of President the pre-eminent merits ! of Gen. Washington, made harmless this defect in ' our political system. For long, meritorious, and well- I tried services, the Chief Magistracy was bestowed upon ' this illustrious citizen, unsought and unsolicited, by the ; unanimous voice of his country. So, too, at the third ejection, which was, no doubt, essentially inline nerd > by the opinions and administration of that great and good man, and his associates, it was not materially felt. At the fourth election, however, the defect was mode j evident, in the strongest colours. Then was displayed, I one avenue at least, through which ambition and Tarty' j might successfully triumph over the People's will; and, although the particular point from which the danger ; rose, was immediately seized on, and gunrded by sub : sequent amendments of the Constitution, the radical de ; feet which enabled n President to be elected (in case of no popular choice) by the Representatives of a | small minority of the People, was left wholly untouched, i I he contest which then took place, os violent as it was j alarming, was fruitful, however, of the soundest admo | iii11oii to the leaders of the Republican Tarty, at the head of which stood the great apostle of Libeitv, Thom an Jrfftrsnn. To nvert the mischiefs and danger of an election by the House of Representatives,and'to secure unity oi action amongst the Republican Tarty, they undertook to devise means to concentrate, in all future elections the votes of that portion of the People who adopted their creed, upon a single candidate. For that purpose recourse wuj first line) to C'ou f^rcssioj^ul caucuses The system was then resorted to, and justified, as one of necessity. Its avowed, and real object was to secure the election of a Republican Chief Magistrate, and pre vent such a collision us might transfer the choice to the House of Representatives, it was in this way, and through the agency of the Republican members of Congress, making nominations, in Caucus assembled that Mr. JeJftTMun, Mr. Madison and Mr. Monroe, were presented as Candidates to the American People, and were elected, and re-elected, by large majori ties of the popular suflragea. Thus far, one of the great objects oi the Constitution, (an electionbv the peo I pie in their primary colleges,) was believed to We guard I od and secured. Rut this system was attacked and over thrown in the memorable contest of and the j failure by the Republican Tarty o» that occasion to elect ! its candidate, was followed by tb* election of a Chief | Magistrate by the House of Representatives, in utter dis regard of the popular will, and under circumstances which produced the di epest excitement. Indeed, so strongly impressed was the distinguished individual who I was the object of that choice, oi the importance of an j election by the People oC their President, that, in his - answer to the Joint ComcuUtee who announced to him j ins appointme nt, he deetirvd : “That could his irfnsai to uc.ccpi [fir, it a si unrgairet to Him, gtre. on m,m, dime oppor tunity to the people, to fur m and npresi«, with n neuter ap proach to ununimity, Ike object of their preference, he should not hesitate to decline the. acceptance of the emi nent charge, and mi! put tlic momentous question again to their determination:' What lea* than ||te. tirrp fi<t conviction of the liiuge'f of x/e ideation Ity the House of Representatives, instead of tlir People, could Iihvp induced him. i:. the moment of triumph, to hold such language ? What stronger avouchuient, of the im portance of n clear express*..u of the pop«|„r wilt, and this defect in our Constitution, could Iihvc been given than this? This election, however, ami the state of thing'* *° nrhich it gave rise, soon soused the People and the elements ol the Old kepublican Vnetu rallied around General Jackson as the individual, in wunxe per son popular rights and power were to be vindicated. Af ter a very violent and embittered contest, they succeed ed in placing him in the ('residential Chair. Of the election of l>"JI-.>, and tlic scenes which then oc curred, it is not needful, nor would it be proper, here to speak. I licy form a prominent and interesting part of the history of those titnee of our Republic, and will long be regarded by every friend of llcpresentative Government, an a political beacon, rather than a piece I dent T i hia ( lection, however, did more; it satisfied the friend* of Popular Sovereignly, of the necessity of ngaiii resorting to some mode, lor the purpose of secur ing this important election to the People, and prevent ing the1 recurrence of those scenes of intrigue and ambi tion, which were presented on that occasion, an l may be expected invariably to be presented on an election of the 1’resident by the House of Representatives. In the case of General Jackson, owing to the peculiar circum stances, no step Was deemed nccrstftry to concentrate their power, and embody the popular w ill, as it had been sufficiently indicated in the previous contest. Resides his great and signal military services, he had become so much endeared to the Republican Party, by the bold and determined manner in which he had resisted the prinei pies and doctrine* of the previous administration, that no measure of the sort was deemed necessary to insure his re-election. He accordingly came in, by an over whelming vote of the American People. But the R> | publicans were nut so fortunate, in relation to a oanri* ilate for tiic Vice Presidency, and danger was appre hended from the number of candidates, and at the cor • dieting claims and divisions of different sections of the Union. I'o obviate these, the Republicans of New Hampshire, with a disinterested patriotism worthy of themselves, come forward and propose d a .Yatiuiiut Con rentiun, as the beat means of healing divisions, and se curing the triumph of Republicans; and it was nccord ingly held, with the happiest effect. This Convention, no doubt, gave rise to that which has recently been held in Baltimore, and whose proceedings are now submitted for your approval. Is there one liberal and disinterested Republican who considers the provisions of our Constitution in relation to this subject, lire efforts that are making to carry the election to Congress, and who is opposed to such an election, who can fail to perceive the necessity of adopt ing some plan to unite the Democracy of the country, and give effect to its will in this all-important election ? We think not. Tiu* only alternative then presented, is a National Convention, springing immediately from the People, and representing the various parts of the Union, or an abandonment of the expedient fur concentrating the national will, substituted lor that of Congressional caucus nominations, and an election by the House of Representatives. Oi the evils of such an election, you , require, Fellow-Citizens, at this day neither argument nor admonition from us. Few, it is to be hoped, if any, now doubt, that the wise men who framed our system, intended to secure to the People, the choice of tho Executive branch of their Government, and to ren der it wholly independent of the Federal Legisla ture- The choice by und responsibility of the Presi dent to* the People, was one of the vital principles of the- system. Is this not manifest from die man ner ii» which the Confederation itself was created ? In its organization, are not the Mouse of Repre sentatives and the Executive, alone regarded as the popular brandies of the Government, and immedi ately responsible to the People ? But not so tho Senate, lliere the equitable principle of representation, founded on contribution and population, was as a matter of compromise disregarded. In that Branch ot the Government, each State on the score of its sovereignly, has equal rights. Its legislative powers are co-extensivc with tile popular branch, with the ex ception of money bills! No laws can pass without its concurrence; the most important proceedings of the Ex ecutive arc subject to its revision; all important ap pointments require its assent. There is the power to ! ralify treaties, mid try all impeachments of the high of I beers of the Government, Executive and Judicial !— JJiere the small State of Delaware, with a population of 7o thousand, has a representation equal to New York, with more than two millions ! There four States, with j a population of more than five millions, arc only entitled to a lepresenlalion equal to the four smallest, with a po pulation of less than four bundled thousand ! There one halt of the nation, residing in four or five of the largest Stales, has a representation only equal to about the thir tieth part, residing in tire four smallest States! There one half of tbu whole American People, residing in four •>r five State#-, are represented by eight or ten votes only, whilst the others are represented by thirty-eight or forty! Would the Convention have been willing, or would the people ever have consented to give such powers to one branch ot tbs Government, and that too constituted us the Sena fit in> unless it h.id. been intended to leave the others to the immediate oeVioa of the popular will, and especially one so important as that of electing the Presi dent.- Besides,the Constitution, in its letter as well as in its spirit, shews that tVu» was the cast*, and that it was never intended togive Congress any control over the election of President, save only w(iere the people should fail to make a choice in. their primary colleges, which, it was then believed, would rarelyr if ever occur. Ilence, the only duty assigned to Congress by the Constitution was to count the votes in a Con version of both Mouses, and de cJuic the result. The Constitution, moreover, it will bo recollected, contains only two disqualifications upon this subject -. The first mud most important of which, is, that no Senator or Representative in Congress should lie ap pointed an elector of President or Vice President of the United States. For what purpose was this disqualifica tion, but to exclude Congress from any participation in | the appointment, and to guard against the possibility of mtngue and corruption r The men of that day were* too sagacious not to know, that in deciding so important an election as that ot President of such a nation, especial ly at periods of grout political excitement, intrigue •*»’u uiudiuou would have their influence, it they uid not govern the decision; and ;hut individual in terest might prevail ’over the gi'iiiul good, especially us it would always be known, before the eirctiontook place, that a few individuals in Congress wouldSl>..'d | in their hands tlu* power of deciding the question.— -' ! Besides the objections springing from ambition and in trigue, there was another arid stronger still to an election by Congress; am! that was, that in this mode you strike a latal blow at representative government itself, by giv ing the power to elect the most important officer ofthe republic to a minority of live People. Cun there be un evil more threatening to the peace nnd integrity of the Union, nnd which ought to be more dreaded by everr friend of free government? It bus been justly remark ed, and it cannot be too strongly and often repeated, that one of the greatest evils which can threaten public li berty and our happy system, next to revolution and disli- • nion, is an flection oj Pr esitlent hij the House oj tlcure sentiilirrs.’ In this sentiment we are quite sure a largo portion of the American People will concur, and it is therefore against the dangers and evils of such an elec tion, that the liberal ami enlightened of all parties should be most anxious to guard. Nor is this view weakened bv the fact that such an election by Con gress is authorized by the Constitution ' It may be asked, we know, ns it bn* been asked, why the saga city of the wise framers of that instrument did not foresee these alarming consequences, and provide some other remedy ? The answer is a plain one : they never imagined the oce.usion would arise when its exercise would be required. Indeed, so remote was believed to be the possibility of an election of President by the ^ House ot Representatives, that the celebruled triumvi rate of ’«7, (with James Madison ot their head,) in de fending the various provisions of the Constitution and recenMueadiug it to their country, omitted to offer one reason iu Savor of this provision, or to defend such a mode of appointment—ft negative argument to be sure, but one entitled to gr.-nt consideration.' But, fellow-citizens, whatever may be the mode -»y means of concentration which the Republican par#®** shall adopt to avoid these evils, they must expect to be assailed by the enemies of their principles, with all the artifice of ambition and the ingenuity of party. 1 heir inotto U> “Ibrn/a and conquer." They know that united, the Democracy of onr country is, and ever will be, invincible : That to govern it, its opymnent a must distract ami divide it. Hy destroying the means of union, they prv /rnA that union by which only the Demo | unity rats conquer.

If, to the power of union of wealth and general intelligence, they are en abled to add the advantages of division among the lie mocracy, thcv are certain to govern tlio country, to r.wuhS nil its laws, and direct their administration. ]ti» against such division, therefore, that the Democracy should ever guard fvith sleepless vigilance. AH the rie aid* of preserving Obion should be cherished hy them with almost the same tenacity, nn those principles, which, without such union, can never have practical oft'-ct._ lo these advantages, which our political CMCiuies expect from our divisions, are to be ascribed all the *(Uck» whirh have been inode, and will continue to be made, opoll the Republican party and the Convention recently held by them in Baltimore. The objections to it are :m various as the Protean aha pea which the Opposition themselves assume, who, having failed in their attempts to defeat the Convention with the People, will now assail it and its proceedings with renewed vigor. It becomes, then, not only proper, bat a matter of duty in us, to ex amine some of the most prominent of these objections, and we shall proceed lo do so in as brief a manner as pos sible. The first is that against the character of the Conven tion itself.— It is denounced in strong and unmeasured terms hy the Whole body of the Opposition, not only as a mere instrument of party and a gross Assumption of power, but a* s system of dictation by self-organized and irresponsible individuals, intended lo control and ! bias the popular will, and in violation of the true princi ples of our Constitution That it is the will of the indi viduals only who compose these assemblies, and not that of I lie People, which gives the fiat. Without yielding up f<*» a moment what we conceive to is- among the soundest Democratic doctrines, that iu relation to public affairs any number of citizens, how ever assembled, have a right, in a respectful manner, to offer their opinions and express their wishes; and in «o doing, are entitled lo be respectfully heard, we insist that the Isle Convention held in Baltimore, waa no vo luntary and unauthorised assemblage of individuals; hut
