Tbe successive steps in tbe election of President and Vice President of tbo U nited States are taking according to exis ting laws, at tbe following dates : 1. By tbe aet of Congress in 1843, the Elector for President and Vice Presi dent of tbe United States are appointed in eaob State on tbe Tuesday next after tho first Monday in Novomber. 2. By the act of 1792 tbeso Electors are to meet on the first Wednesday in December after, in their respective States to cast their votes. 3. Tbeso votes, when cast, are to be certified by the Electors and sealed up and sent to tbe President of tbe Senate. 4. On the second Wednesday in Feb ruary after, the soaled certificates of the Electors are to be broken open and the otes counted, and the result declared in the presence of Congress. Yankee Enterprise.
