Vs kgt 4 H ey i 1 i 1 i g THE CHICAGO ' of the Benate, or hy tellers sppointed by the two Houses, at times when the duty was a mere clerical ane, because when those precedents were maile there was no contest ahont the {‘emmnél ofthe Electors, and no duplicate returns of Yotes, are of no force in cases where, before the wotes can be counted, a judicial inqniry must be > instituted to determine whether any” or what voles are valld. 5. Neyerthelens, Congress has power, nnder edrcumatances {1ike the present, by Inw, to regu- Tate a count Which must be made, bnt which cannot be made without the previous excreise of §ts leglslative power. By Art. 1, Sce, § of the Constitation, Congress is authorized to * make all Jaws which shall bo necessary and proper for carrying Into effoct . o all powers® . . . vested In the Government of tiie United States. The Government of the United Btates must, obviously, by some onoof fts dcpartments or officers, count tha vote for President, and by analogy to other declded cases of a similarchar- neter, it 18 for Congress to name the officer or department to perform that duty., Thus, Art. 4, Hec, 4, of the Constitution provides that “ the Unitea tates shinll protect each Stata from fn- vasion," ete, It became an important vfiucmon. at an early day, who shonld exccuto this guars antec; but it was resolvéd by an act of Congress, pussed In pursuance of the ‘same Arl. 1, Sec. 8, which made it the duty of tho President to exes cute it 6. Wero f not impolitic, and in violation of the spirit of the Constitution, Congress might doubtless, in like manner, Tinpose the duty of counting the Presidential vote on the Presldent, ornpon the Bupremo Gourt, or upon eclther House of Confirus. 7. Nelther the Prealdent, the 8upreme Court, nor the House of Represcutatives, however, can be charged with this duty, without uncettling the balance of the Constitution. To authorize elther of them to do it would be to wrest from tho States n most importany power, and_give it 10 the General Goverament. Besldes, the dan- er of authorizing the President to do it would ge verg great; be would be placed under tnmrt- atton to prolong his own term or to namo his successor, To cast the duty upon the Supreme Court would lnnfllnlfl( swamp that tribunal by making it odlou, as the fingl arbiter in all polit- fcal contests. The case is similar with the Houee of Represcutatives; as that body Is_required, it President {8 not chosen by tlie Electors, to eleet ong, it could not, without tno groatest dan- ger, bo permitted to Interfere in the election be- fore that contingency shiould have arlscn, 8. The duty of appointing the Elcctors hay- fng Leen lald excluslyely upon the States ;“Ench State shall appolnt, in such manneras the eglislature thercof may dircet, 8 number of ZEloctors," ete.), {f that duty wera imposed upon any but the States, the adjustment of powers between the Statea and Federal Governinent, established by the Constitution, would be de- stroyed, and the “lm“!fin numnlcnllf extenalve powera of the latter be dangerously inereascd. 9. Indeed, It any body or person other than the States Is to exerclze the function In ques- tion, In any casc where to count the votes must mean o détermine contests arising within the Blates as Lo the personnel, or tno votes, of the ‘Electors, it would be far leas dnmieruun for the Benate, or its President, to do i1, than for any one of the persons or hodles abovy referred to, since both the Scnate and its President are representatives of tho States, 0. How carcfally the balance between the Btates and the General Government, in Presl- «dential elections, has been adjusted by the Con- sttutlon may be scen in that clause which de- «lares that **no Senator, or Hcpre!cntuuve‘ or nerson holding anoflice . . .+ undertheUnited Btatce, shall be appointed an Electory’? and in another, which provides that when the House of Representatives shall exercise the power of electing the President, “tho votes shall betaken by States, the representation from each State laving but one vote.” 11. As the Federal Constitution roquires that “ench State shall appoint a nuniber of Elcct- ors,” ete., and that these Electors shall meet in their respective States and vote for President mnd Viee-Presidont,” and tranamit to the Pres. jdent of the Senate liats ‘“of the persons voted for, and of the number of votes for cach,’ duly sgned and certifled by them, It is obviuis that such Electors sustaln a mixed char. acter: firat, as State functionarice, in re- pect of their creation and of thelr reprasenta- tive charncters and, secondly, a3 Federal func- tionaries, In respect of the duty they are to pep- form, to choose the chief Federal executlve officers, If, thoreforo, there is notmui In tho Constitution to the contrary, tho Electors ought to be subject, In all that relates to them or to thefr action, in their firat charactor, to the Btate guthorities; und In all that relates to thein, or to their actlon, in thelr sccopd charne ter, to those of the (iencral Government. But the Constitutlon having provided that the votes, transmitted by the Electors to tho President of the Scunte, at Washititon, ¢ shall bo conntedy? and nothing niore. the laws of the Unfon and of the States ought to bo 8o drawn us to leays nothing for Congress to do but to regulate the counting of votes, fu respect of ‘which nif contests have been settlod by the Btates. Tha States forward each ifa Electoral votess the General Government count them. If, then, the States have, in any case, provided by law n mode of appolatlng the = Electors,” or of certitylng thelr = electfon, such! law ourhf to overrido any act of Congress on the sunie aubject, as pussed in contravention .of tho true spirit and meoning of the Constlty- tion. 2, Beyond question, then, If striet regard e naid to the cxisting balance of the Constitu- ton, the spirft ot that Instrument is violated by c‘mrnlm: with the purely etate functlon of deteriining who are the true Electors, or which of two seta of returns {s the valid one, a Cum- mieslon composed of an cqual number of Su- preme Court Judges, Seuators, and Members of the House of Tepresentatives, ‘To Intrust such a duty to a tribunal so composed s better, doubtleas, but only better,—noy, IT it is to be o permanent arrangement, it is worse,~than cyll war, Let ma now consfder for a moment what ought. 1o he done in the future to prevent a recurrenico of the cxisting diificulty, and to inake the prace tice of the (Government confaria to the splrit of the Constitution. Bevural devices moy bo resorted to for the at- talnment of these ends, 1. If the Electoral Collegesare so ba retained, the United” States “ought, by constitutional amendment, to require the States to puss Inwa for determining absolutely nll questions that ay urise touching the Elcetors, or the exerclse of ihe Electoral function, fncduding the certhle cation of their voted to the Prosident of the Senute, As suclia determination ought not to be left to o partisan Bourd, acting arbitearily, and preserviig o record of fts proceediogs, the Dest' plan wonld donbtless be to require’ the Btates to empower thelr courts of lust resart to determine_sll such cuntests, b{ procecdings strictly judicial, und that, with the certificats of votes forwurded to tho President of the Ben- ate, there should bo transmitted also, fn all cascs where a contest should have orlsen, or any objectiong should have heen made relative to'the Electors, or the exerctso of thelr tune- tion, certified coples ot the udjudlcations of the Btate vourts determining the smne, 2 A sceond devies would be to amend the Constitution so us to requive the Elees toral Colleges, 80 far ns the clee tions of thelr members should be un- contested, to mect ot some place other than Wuahinston, und thers orgunize as The Electoral College hy clecting .

Finally, should it be deemed best to abol- 1:h the Electaral Colleges, and leavo to the peoe ple of the United States, voting dlrectly, Shofee of their E:ccud\'e, the (rst wilght be united with that of a direer election, sud thus thy States would be left possessed sometbiog like an effective cheek upon the Gen- ¢eral Goveroment in the watler of clectlng s Fresldent.
