With a view to this station of a ptiva'e . citizen, during the bucf and interesting term of my service in the naiional councils, I could not but feel deeply interes

Yet I cannot but declare, that I hope never aain to see a president ot the Untied States who is not the choice of the people, and mist soon to see ihe Constitution so amended, as to preclude Co giess from any sort of ioct let ancc in tttis mattei, leaving its fi.idl decision where it ougnt to be in the hands ot tt.e people Among the acts of Congress p;sscd during the session which ha just cios d, is one for the continuition o' he nation al lload from Wheeling, to Zi.-svdie with an appropriation, lor ih location from the latterplace, through 'hi ats ot government of Ohio, Indiana, .jnd l.'inois, to the Mississippi t i r.

- 4 r i - - r j - whose immediate representative I was, and to whom I hold myself repouib;e for my public conduct. Arid I now hasten to lay before you, an account o' what has transpired during th it period, which

maybe most interesting to yon. The election of a Presidcn. of the United States has becri made by Congress, this was an event ot gr-at imnoriance to the nation. The p.-op'.c had m ide the at tempt and having failed, tluy saw their highest constitutional right, transfered to the hands of their repi csi ntatives in con gress, and much sodeitude was manifested as lo the manner in which ihev woui i discharge this heavy responsibility, in th exercise of power not ovigmaliy dcstgti cd for them. You here saw the leading friends an-l paniz.ms who had warmly supported, and advoc.ittd the cutsc of their res pecivc favorite Candida e for the pics: dency, before the jieoj)lc of a wide extcn dcvl republic, collected together at your Capitol, to decide the then unsettled contest You had good cause to suppose that a snuggle would ensue, between private intercut, partiality . r pi-ejndice, and the duty which the representative owed to his constituents, which would triumph, was matter ot doubt ; and which has triumphed, is now for you to decide. Although this co nes' has terminated in the election of a Chief Magistrate, Hot the nation's fivst choice, no' vuirs yet it is a subject of much gratif; .wtion tocery lover of his cour.trv, to see an evt.iu of which so much evil was foretold, pass by, unattended with any serious political dis'u-b i'ice, and if by the

too rigid exercise of constitutional power, the representative has crossed the ieei'mq-s and wishes of his constituents, yet remetobcr, he as well as 'lie Ptesident hinsclf, must indue time surrender t the people, the power which fhev delegated to him, an ! i will be for them to sv whether they will again intrust it to his hands. Your favoiitc candidate for the PreM dencv, was n at a candidate before congress he not b. ing one of the three hi'ict, supported bv the people, was excluded by the c mstitnti n, and agreeable to the principles, which I avowed to veil, my support was given to ,fr.cr.:l Ji:-:-the next in vonr regards, as appeared by the clcctotal returns of my district he indeed was my own choice, but I have alwavs thought it right end expedient that in this c tse particularly, the representative should sir render his own private attachment for that of Ids conutucns, and had Mr. Adams or Mr. Crawford been your favoiitc, I should most eert:.inl hive supported cither of these gentlemen firmly and steadilv. Mv sincerrst hope is 'hat the administration of M-. Adams, during c tertn for which he is elected, will bo prospor-

posed canal and its whole lusgth, for the

nmpose of aiding our slate in accorn piishi'tg the work; but . from the sho' tikss of the session, and the numerous subjects of serious importance to the nation, which claimed the attention nf Congress, there was not mm: to the prdp.fcjr consideration of this .u ject. Yet I hav no doubt but that e soon as wc shaH oft our part make the proper advances i:
