Necessary for a choice
The four last men:ioned States have been added since the election of IS 11. By an act of Congress, the Presidential Election takes place on Tuesday, the 7th day of November, throughout the Ünion. All the States vote directly for Electors, except South Carolina, which elects by the Legislature. An extra sessiop for that body will bi convened, to meet the requisition of the law. In case there is no choice of President by the Electorial College, the election devolves upon the House of Representatives; but in that cas the votes are given by States the single member from Delaware, Florida, or Arkansas, having the same power as the 34 members from New York.
