A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Sew ATI.] Rhode I siand Ekdion. [D ec. 2, 1833. would be determined by rsingle vote; and in that case, if it should be afterwards discovered that a member was illegally admitted to a seat, the decision might be vitiated. He suggested that, for the present, the credentials of Mr. RoBBTK sshould also lie on the table, and that neither should be qualified. Mr. CLAY admitted the delicacy of the question now presented to theS enate, but expressed a hope that it would be examined with a becoming firmness, and a resolution to act Justly. At present, Rhode Island stood in theS enate with three representatives; and he was willing to admit that, if he had the power, there was noS tate in the Union to which he would be more ready to allow a triple representation.

It was not only the right of Rhode I sland, but of every State, to have two voices on every question which could arise; and the first act of theS enate, by which theS tates could be secured in this riglit, was the verification of those who composed that body. It was the right, and the imperative duty of theS enate, to say who were to be theS enators, and who were the individuals to be associated in the performance of the important duties which devolved upon them. It was now the time to decide (not conclusively, he admitted) which were the two members from theS tate of Rhode Island to be admitted
