cite; Henry Pauling.efq. is notjustly and constitutionally you

, Sfertator. At the time mr P.va$ elected by the Senate, he

is in my opinion sir

'plegnant vlth much gu'id; but'iff, its virtues may be debased'byiigntfrance or inadvertancc as

aflly as by corruption or 'aht

of this commute, tint the Senators--ought agreeably to the Constitution

to have taken the oath of an Elector,to elect without savor, affection,partialiiy or prejuJice &c. pre-

has adopted an additionalqualification (thougli not peculiar)tor Senators in the election of a
