Yesterday afternoon the Governor met the two ■ louses in the Chamber of the House of Representatives, and deli vered the following Gentlemen of the Senate, and Gentlemen fibe House of Representatives. THE Legifixture having omitted to prescribe thjfe manner, in which the elec tors of a President and Vice-President of the United States, ihall be appointed, I have thought it incumbent on me, to /urnifti the present opportunity, for dis charging a trust, so interesting to the honor of the State, and so essential to j the prosperity of the Union. To pre- ! fervp, indeed, the political balance of; onr confedertaion, to promote the regu lar operations of Government, to dif- j fufe the blessings of concord, and to en sure the confidence of the people, are considerations intimately connected with the objeft, for which you have been convened ; and having thus prompted an extraordinary interposition of the Executive power, they will, also, I am persuaded, command, on your part, a serious and salutary attention. It is to be regreted, Gentlemen, that the difference of opinion, which occur ed on this fu'jjedt, between the two branches of the la ft General Assembly, has-deprived our Constituents of an im mediate participation in the choice of Electors, either by an election of the ci tizens .at large, or by an eledtion of the citizens in diftrifts. Since, however, the criiis affords no other alternative, than a Legislative appointment, or a de rili&ion of the right of election, we can not, I think, refleft upon the danger ous and difgraceful consequences of the latter course, without resolving to pur sue the former. On the fidelity and vi gilance of its several members, the Union , depends for its energy and duration ; : . and, it is that a ncgledt, or omiflion, of the important duties, affign ej to the individual States, must, even tually, prove as deftru&ive to our Fe deral Compaft, as an opposition the mod a&ive, or a feceff{on the most daring : For, a free and enlightened People will not long continue to maintain or to re fpeft an inflitution, in which (from ■whatever cause) they have ceased to be represented. Nor can we resist the influence of those occurrences which admonilh us, at this momentous period of human affairs, to rally round the Constitution of our Country, as the palladium of ci vil Liberty, and the last hope of Re-; publican Virtue. To rescue Pennfylva- ! nia, therefore, from the stigma of ex- ' hibiting to her Sifter States, a fatal ex ample of Clifford and disorganization, is a motive, that cannot fail to supersede in every patriotic mind, the pride of J opinion, as to the theory of our Go vernment, or the bias of predilefliop, as to the various means of supplying its departments. For my own part, I ac knowledge, that I have ever contempla ted a general choice by the People, as the truest, faireft, fafeft, expolition of the Constitution ; but a deference for the judgment and practice of others, taught me to refpeft a departure from that rule elsewhere, before the neceifity had arisen, which imposes a departure from it here. . In eight States of the Union, Electors are appointed by a Vote of the two branches of their respec tive Legislatures; and appointments so made, have been uniformly recognized, by Congrels. It is a great consolation, therefore, that on the preftnt occasion, we have these authoritative precedents to pursue ; since, permit me to repeat, it is only left to your discretion to decide, whether Pennsylvania shall abandon her elective rights, ©r exercise them in a manner, which has already been adopt ed by one half of the Confederation. Though I have thus explicitly com municated my sentiments, and exonera ted myfelf from all official responsibility, I still deeply partake of the general soli citude, for the issue of your deliberations. The fnuation of cur Country is critical: ( . i' but riot alarming. In her external re lations, the proipe£f of reconciliation and peace appears, by recent intelligence, to be realized ; and nothing seems wanting to ha- domestic happiness, but a recollec tion of the common interest, by which all her Citizens must be equally anima ted, in their efforts' to promote it. It has perhaps then, fallen to the lot of Pcnnfylvania, not merely to determine an important election, but toextingurfH, by a magnanimous example, those feuds and jealousies, which have disturbed the i order of Society, and threatened to eclifpc the glory of the Revolution. Under this impre'flion, we fee, without surprize, the attention of the Union fixed upon the proceedings of the present day; while, from every quarter of the State, the wishes and prayers of our Fellow-ci- j tiijens, emphatically appeal to the patri otifin and fidelity of those, in wh<jtn they have reposed their confidence, and J to whom they have delegated their pow j er. Such just and honorable expecra- I tions will rtot be disappointed ! No : ! —Superior to the suggestions of party, disdaining a contest about forms, and yielding to the precedents that have been eitabliilied, your decision cannot fail to merit .the approbation of our Constitu ents, the applaufeof our Sifter States and the gratitude of posterity. [ I shall refei've, Gentlemen, the com munications on the general state of the Commonwealth for a future meflage : but I cannot conclude at this time, without alluring you of my most cordial co-ope ration, in every measure for the public good Let us, then, cultivate, by all the means in our power, a liberal and harmonious intercourse between the de partments of the Government ;—con vinced as we must be, that our private happinels, not less than our public duty, will be best promoted, under the influ ence of mutual confidence, deference and esteem.
