TO THE PUBLIC.
SIX months have elapsed, since the pres
ent Editor of this Gazette, became its sole
proprietor, by purchase, from Mr: Jno. W.
Fenno. He therefore deems it proper, at
this period, to flats some particulars relative
to it, at, and since the time when it became
his eftablilhmeut.
The Gazette of the United States, had
lrom its comnicncment, hflert condufted,
»t different- peiiods, hy two gentlemen,' rf
acknowledged ulrafs and refpec\ahi]iy ; hence
*it nierited ai d obtained countenance from a
very numerous and refpedxble Class of tht
(oihuiunity. It was, therefore, rc f >nably
concluded, tint on its becoming the pro
perty of another, who from ftvrral yean
abf<;nce from his native city, was recognized
only by private friends, that a proportion of
thofr who had previoully 1 honored it by their
fopport, would withdiaw their name*. —
This was partially the cafe ; —but so far
from rcaliling .the fears entertained on this
point, not one fourth ofthe num er contem
plated, have rriii qu (lied. This alone was
a favourable omen, but it is infinite'y mare
gratifying to cbferve, that, the numbers ad
ded to his fwbfcription lift. ha\e exceeded his
calculations tioo-fold.
In the Advertising department, many
favours aie •ckiv wledged, but as on this
particular, rests the, abihtv to meet large
pecuniary, w ek!y dilburfements, it is found
requisite to fcin it a more libenl Support.
This paper, exclusive of the number cir
culated in this city, is read in every town,
•ot' any Importance, in the United States,
and in t'fce advertising line, will be found
highly beneficial to the Mercantile part of
the community, *
It will be dunned fupeifluous, at this
time, to enter into a detail of the political
principles of die Editor—the motives which
adluate him, and his general plan bf editing.
They are now universally known, and it is
highly pleaiinij to find,- that they art gene
rally approved of, by a refpe&ablc partioir-of
tbe community, who ha*e fandtioned that
a'ppi ofcation with their name* and puifts.
It may be observed by some lioneft, wor
thy men, that the llyle of the Gazette is
sometimes violent, and that private per
fws, art at those times attacked—To the
iharge of violence he objedls, that of -warmth
is cheeifully a«linited and he will here
oblerVe, that advocating truth, and the
dearest interests of his country, he feels a
teal, which he thinks, and they on refledtion
mult admit, is laudable. Those, who ebjeft
to his giving full, l'cope to hit feelings on
this fubjett, will do well to coirfidcr, that
he has to contend with an unprincipled,
flaring, and afpirinfj faftinn ; who threaten
every thing virtuous, with total subversion,
—xvhofe only arguments are falfchood and
calumny.
Private characters, afe feld t'.icred, gene
rally speaking, but when turbulent aliens
und naturalized citizens, become bawlers at
town meetings and write libel after libel 011
"the firft characters iu our country When
they far»6iion with their detefled names the
mail glaring fcllchoods and the vilest de
traftion, amid such an uproar, silence would
be criminal. Such men and those only has
the Editor dragged before the A merman peo
ple ; he has oppoitd them, and will continue
to oppose them, and from the strongest ties
of attachment to America, he will uncen
fingly combat with all the means in his
power, the jiilidiou* and inveterate foes to
this country whether foreign oi- domeflic,
und-r whrtever fpccious .gaib they may
fkafe to alfum*.

T|iurMay, November 20.
The Bill, entitled " An Act for effectuat
ing on be&afof this state the Constitutional
injunction that each state shall appoint E -
lectors oj President and Vice President of
the United States," being under confide rati-
Mr. Buckley observed, that a feledt vote
on tliis occal'iori was not a defirahle ofojedV.
For his part, he thought it his duty to en
auire what yere the reasons of gentlemen in
proceeding as they appeared to lie about to
do. Certain gentlemen, it was well known,
had declared this bill to be totally incontin
ent with, the constitution and with common
ul'a-e ; yet these gentlemen were yesterday
*ir favour of its" reconsideration, and of its
palling another reading, without adducing
one single reafoH for their inconsistency.
He said he was really at a loss to know how
to procroii in this cafe, if gentlemen would
be l'o inconfillelit. He wished gen'.lemen
to adduce some information, so that we
might be reconciled to such conduit. He
wilhedto know why certain members who
had frewied so £xed with reipedt to forms,
appeared now to be willing that the princi
ple of a joint vote fhoiild in some measure
be given up. He again requeftcd gentle
men to bring forward their reasons for tkis
kind of inconliltcncy. One clay they were
warmly opposed to a system and the next
were advocating it as warmly, without any
realon being assigned. He wished to know
the reasons of so sudden a tha.ige. Per
haps a knowledge of them might throw oat
convidtipn which was much wanted at this
time. For his part he would cheerfully do
any thing gentlemen might have to fay on
this important fubjedt.
Mr. Fiflier observed that he was opposed
t« the paff.igp of the Bill, but he fhouldnot
under present circuinftances dilate on the
fubjett. He would endeavour to give a few
plain reasons why it ought not to pais. On
a recent occ* lion, when the amendments of
I the Senate to the firrt bill on the fubjedt of
: elefting eledtors, were introduced, he had
exprefled the sentiment that he wished the
bill might be so modified a; to preserve to
i each branch of the LegiflativeJJcdjr, its due
weight in'the constitutional balanc. The
provilionsof the present bill went to lefTcnor
dellroy this weight in one branch, 55" there
i fort he could not give it his countenance. It
had been laid in the House and had been
rung tbro' certain papers not far famed for
their truth,that he h*dgiven up the idea of
the nnrenflitutionality of ft jo nt vote. He
said he never denied that a bill, palled ac
cording to the usage of the tvo hotifes,
which mull of courle be by concurrent vote,
was conftitr.ti.iual, although that bill might
authorize the elefVion of Electors by the
members of the Legislature in q»;eftion.
Because when convened together in the
mode propefed, they were not legifljtors,
but milliliters or ,agents appointed by die
Legislature tor the performance of a special
adt. In this way the legislative act would
he constitutionally performed and the min
isterial adt, under legiflarive authority
might be i'.riiftly proper. He had not said
that the provisions tor a joint vote vent j
immediately but mediately to deltroy the !
constitutional balance, and he would then
take the liberty to repeat that whenever
the Senate (hould agree to a Bil 1 , which
contained provifior.s for a joint or conven- j
tional vpte of the members, they would
take one (lip. towards their own virtual
annihilation, though that step was not a
diredt or imm-diate one, but mediate, thro' ,
the idea of ministerial agency.
Thus fSr Mr. Fiflier went in relation to
the general principle, of a joint vote, which
principle iic said was cotifefledly the govern
ing une of the former bill to which he had
refe red. It was a!fo his opinion that it
was the governing principle of the bill now
under consideration. We had to be fare
(he said) been told by gentlemen that this
bill contained so different a modification, of
the principle, from the last bill, that it was
in effedt not the fame principle though the
form was retained ; and in puifuariceof this
idea had the speaker decided on the question
of order as to the fucond introdudtion of
the principle by a new bill. Rut as he was
not convinced that the modification <v»s a
dirllidtion of the piiutiple, but a mere mo
dification of the principle at last, he was
still inclined, even 011 this ground alone to
believe it unexpedient and improper to
vote for the bill. However, he would rtt
pedtfully enquire, in order that he might
better underlland what was intended by the
friends of the present bill. It originated
with the gentleman from the county of
Philadelphia, and he perhaps would tell the
House w hat were his views of its operation.
It seemed to have a very sudden birth, tho'
he was inclined to think it had been delibe
rately and fubtilly concfived. Owing,
however, te its sudden appearance, and its
rapid progress towards maturity at which it
never arrived, its death was convolfive and
extraordinary. But this death did not ex
tinguish hope. It was reanimated and ap
peared yesterday afternoon, for the fir ft time
n ptint. In plain terms, he said the bnfi
nefe had been hurried as not to be unaer
ftood, and according to- the declaration of
the gentleman from the county of Phila
delphia wtro moved the reconciliation it
, was misunderstood by the nembers gene-
I rally. Whether to this misunderstanding
; that gentleman attributed its loss he could
! not fay. He thought that gentleman had
not informed the house, but might it not
fairly be presumed that an equal misunder
standing then excited. The bill was jtift
wetf>om the press, vtfhen all rule feeing dis
pensed with, it was hurried through the
House on a feeond reading. The expence
ot' printing might as well have been save»! ;
for it was not dry when it palled ts a third
reading anil ordered to be transcribed
Could ibe -member? tinderftand it the better,
for this typographical process, without ail
opportunity of dclibei ation on the
It they could, it was an happy mode of
pressing information into the human brain.
For his part, he was surprised that members
could be so rapidly informed, and so l'ud
denly convinced. He did not complain on
his own account for want of time though
he declared he haJ not even the bill till late
in the afternoon of ydterday. lie had ad
vened to the frequent breach of parliamen
tary usage, in the progress of the buliiiefs,
but he Ihould i>ot infill on (tnc\ forit> iefifl
it might prevent an early at ainment oftfce
I'ubQance.
He desired not to delay the business
and time was pressing. But he wish
ed the bill and its various propositions to
be underltood by the House, so that
members might not give another vote in
the dark.
Would this bill in its present form
neceflarily produce five Electors of the
Senate nomination and ten of the nomi
nation of the House of Representa
tives ? It appeared that it will not ne
cessarily produce that proportion. He
asked did the framers of the bill intend
it should, or do the advocates of the bill
j intend it sßall, have that operation ?
I These were questions he proposed but
| would not himself the said) undertake
\to propound. To the framers and to
' the advocates of the bill he submitted
1 them. He had said that the bill would
; not necessarily in effeft give to the Se
nate the choice of five He would
! give his reasons for this opinion'. The
Senate were to nominate 15 —The
House of Representatives 15, and out
of these 30 persons, in the language of
the bill, five " shall be taken*' from the
Senates nomination and to from the
House of Representatives. It was ne
ceflary to advert especially to the words
shall be taken, that we might see what
was to be done with them when they
were so taken. Did it follow that they
were to be chosen ? He answered, it j
did not. 1 hey were to be taken to be '
voted for by the members of the two j
Houses in convention. But will every I
member of the convention vote for the i
same five i He answered there was no '
injunction on them to do so."The votes
of the members might be distributed at!
pleasure & the members of the House
of Representatives composing a large'
majority, might ensure a decision conso
nant to their own views. For example,
some might vote for A, B, C D, 'and
E, of the Senators nomination—some j
for F, (j», H, I, and K, and others for
L, M, N, O, and P, —and thus neither
five might be elected, While the 15 no
minated by the House of Representa
tives might be carried, and so become
the Electors, in absolute contravention
of the spirit of the bill, though consili
ent with the letter of it. Did it not
follow from those premises that the
framers of the bill had framed certain
latent views.
In a word he resumed his position
that this was the same principle that
contained in the firft bill of a joint vote i
—tending to the though by a
route a little different. He should not
enlarge, but content himself at this last
period of the business, with calling for
the yeas and nays.
Mr. Pen rose said. lie bad been applied to,
to give his reafous tor being friendly to the
mealure tor tlfis he was prepared when it
became ueccffary. A gentleman had appli
ed to him, in a very diredt manner, te know
the meaning of certain parts of the Bill.
Every b«dy knew, that the. gentleman was
acquainted with the English language, and
it was expelled that every bndy who under
stood Englifli. would know what was mean 1
by the B:l!, as well as he would know \»ha c
was meant by the State of Pennsylvania, or
by the United States. The gentleman, he
laid, had said. that the bill comprised cer
tain latent views, and hinted that theie
some improper designs contemplated by the
bill. Fer lus part, he would candidly ac
knowledge he had no conception of any
thing of the kind until that gentleman had
unravelled them in his own way- He said
liis own views were dearly and explicitly
known ; he had no «bject but that of the
public good. The Bill was not to
be decided here, it was to come before the
Senate, and they might judge whether it
contained any latent designs ; for his part
he knew not of any, and hoped gent.emen
would think him solely aftuated by virtue
and integrity. From what the gentleman
had said on this subject, he thought there
" might be latent views," but he was, for
his part, in no ways concerned, in any such
views. He was not alhamed to declare the
true reasons of his condufk to this House
and to the whole world. If the language
of the Bill was not fufficiently plain, it cer
tainly might be made so. It was his to have
it plain and to be understood by every one.
As to himfelf, he understood that fifteen
Ele&ors were to be eletted, of which tew
were to be from that House and five from
th; Senate—lt appeared, however from the
language of the Bill, that there might be
an improper advantage taken of sertain ex
preflions. If time permitted, be fliould
have no objeftion to make any alteration in
thole places that might be necessary. But ■
it was well known that the time was ex- j
tremely short. and that this important bu
siness (liould not be delayed. If time per
mitted, he would have no objedtion to the
word " taken" being struck out, and altered
I'a.as to accord with the spirit of the bill.
Cut at this time he did not fee any occalion
for floing it. Tlie Senate were appointed
to ronect the crudities and intemperance
in the proic dings of this Hpufc. The
Senate, it any tiling of tins nature appears
to them, they cart c&tt&j and if auy cor
rection of this nature would be devised by
the Senate, no doubt this House would
readily accede to ihera. He had given gen
tlemen all Jie information he possessed on
this fubjeft, and repeated, that though
gentlemen may have dil'covered latent views
in the bill, lie declared they were foreign t»
his thoughts.
. Mr. Boileau said that having been called
, upon in the firft instance by the Gentleman
j from Lancaster county togive his reasons for
| supporting the prei'ent bill and to give
explanations, he would jufl ebferve
! that he ' was not bound to explain
jto him or to any person. He was
■ at liberty to explain, or not, just as he
chole. As to the charge of inconsistency
he trusted that no person could ejiarge him
with it, and that he had afted with unifor
mity. As to the firlhoppofition tp this bill
the quertio'n was taken before in was fuffi
c.ently explained to the House and it was
not conliflent to vots for a ce-confideratiori
The gentleman from Philadelphia had en
tertained the House for some time in oppo
sition to the forms of bills, and then
appeared willing to wave his obje£tions.
This led h m to fuppo r «vthe gentjeman4iad
no particular solicitude on the question*
That gentleman (Mr. Eifher) had said that
it was e(Tentinlly necffiaiy that the Senate
should preserve its proper balance in the
Legislature. Mr. Boileau agreed that this
(liould be the cafe, and said that by the
propositions of the present bill that balance
•was properly preserved ; for certainly by
this bill the Senate had its due legislative
weight.
The present, he acknowledged, was not
the kind of bill that he wished to fee pass»
The firft proposition from this House, he
thought, was much more eonfiftent with pro
priety & the wishes and interefl of the State.
But the Senate had thought proper to rrjeft
that bill. It h,-,d became a duty now to*
roake-Cvery leafonable conceflion, and to go
as far as we confidently could to have
a voice in the choice »f President of the
U. States. The present bill gave the im
portant weight which it ought to have in
the general gove-nmeiu. Gentlemen had
aflced what was meant by this bill. One
gentlemen had alked what information
could be derived from palling a bill before
it wasdy. Did we not know that the bill
required only tnbe read in order-to be un
derstood. Tine was now too precious to go
into explanations. The gentlemen (Mr.
Fiflier) had objedled to the bill, becaule it
did not secure the Senate what appeared c®
be contemplated by the Ipirit of it. He
would declare himfelf frankly and candidly,
as every mkn 011 that floor ought to do. He
would declare for himfelf and his friends
that they wid.ed to put into etf~£t the ps irt»
c pie of choosing ten of the nouiitmion of the
House of Representatives St five ofthe Se
nate's nomination.
If the Senate saw any danger likely to re
sult from the wording of the bill, he trusted
they would introduce such amendments as
would obviate all difficulties on this fnbjeft.
He d.d not icrotlefl any "more objeftions
that had been made to the bill,- if gentlemen
had any more he expeiied they would offir
them.

focli a thing should happen, then to permit

deeming it better that it (hould appear in toto,
