PHILADELPHIA: -^— i^^ PUBLISHED BY KEY AND BIDDLE, MINOR STREET. 1835. ^N^:^~,-.^^ Entered, according to an Act of Congress, in the year 1835, by Key & Biddle, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the Eastern Pistrict of Pennsylvania. Zu;^ PREFACE, The compiler of this work is indebted for a portion of the statistical information he has condensed, to various valuable publications, the size and expense of which materially interfere with their extensive circula- tion. The Election returns, <.^c. have generally been obtained, at con- siderable labour, by application to gentlemen in the several states. In most cases the returns ate official, but in a few instances, it is probable that trifling errors may be discovered, which, in the absence of positive in- formation, could not be corrected. The omissions in the congressional returns of some of the southern states, for the, year 1833, it was found impossible to supply, the records not having been preserved in the proper offices. The Register has been compiled, under a belief that an abstract of the leading features of our Federal and State Governments, compressed in a small space, will be a matter of interest to every citizen, and especially to those who have not leisure for extensive research and investigation. The returns of late elections, &c. will be valuable to politicians, and to all who teel an interest in the approaching Gubernatorial and Presidential contests, as a matter of reference upon which to base estimates of future results. The pohtical character of the candidates has been stated in all cases where it could be ascertained without doubt. It is the design of the compiler, should the present edition be approved by the public, to prepare a second, embracing the returns of the con- gressional elections which take place in August of the present year, so that the political character of the voters in the several congressional districts of the Union, as bearing upon the Presidential question, may be more dis- tinctly ascertained. Philadelphia, July 11, 1835. ERRATA. On page 52, there is an error in the returns of votes polled in Mercer county, on the subject of a Convention to amend the Constitution of Pennsylvania. The returns from that county should read, for a convention 1311, against a conven- tion 475. The sketch of Tennessee, on page 80, is not correct in all its particulars, the Constitution of that State, having recently been altered. By the new Constitu- tion it is provided, that the General Assembly shall convene biennially, on the 1st Monday in October, and the elections for Senators and Representatives are to be held on the first Thursday in August, terminating on the same day. Judges of the Supreme Court are to be appointed by the Legislature for a term of 12 years, and Judges of the Inferior Courts for eight years. Justices of the Peace will hereafter be elected by the people. On page 83, for " Chittenden Lyon, (anti-Jackson,") read Chittenden Lyon, (Jackson.) The vacancy in the Senatorial representation of the state of Mississippi, on page 14, has recently been filled by the appointment, by the Governor of that state, of Robert J. Walker, Esq. THE POIilTlCIAIV'S RECJISTER, President of the United States, By the constitution it is provided that the President shall be thirty-five years of age, fourteen years a resident of the United States, and a natural born citizen, or a citizen at the time of the adoption of the constitution. In case of his death, resignation or removal, the duties of his office devolve upon the Vice President, and in case of the death, resignation or removal of both, the Presi- dent of the Senate pro tempore, shall act as President. The Presi- dent is commander in chief of the army and navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several States when called into the service of the United States. His salary is |25,000 per annum. Vice President of the United States. The ordinary duty of the Vice President is to preside in the Senate of the United States. He is not a member of the Cabinet. When he does not officiate as President of the United States, his place is supplied by a Presiding officer pro tempore, chosen by ballot, from among the Senators, who receives additional com- pensation or |16 per diem for his services. No person constitu- tionally ineligible to the office of President, is eligible to that of Vice President. The salary of the Vice President is $5,000 per annum. Mode of Election, by Electors. The election of President and Vice President of the United States is by Electors, in each state, who are choseo as the legisla- 1 >- Z MODE OP ELECTION BY CONGRESS. tore in each state may provide. The choice of Electors must be made within thirty-four days preceding the first Wednesday of December, of the year in which an election for President and Vice President takes place, and they must be equal in number to the number of Senators and Representatives to which the several states may by law be entitled at the time when the President and Vice President, thus to be chosen, shall come into ofSce. No Se- nator or Representative, or person holding an office of trust or profit under the United States, can be appointed an Elector. The Electors are required to meet in their respective states, on the first Wednesday of December, and vote by ballot for Presi- dent and Vice President, one of whom shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves. Lists of the number of votes given and for whom, must be sealed and transmitted to the Presi- dent of the Senate. Mode of Election by Congrress. The President of the Senate is required to open and count the lists forwarded by the Electors of the several states, in the pre- sence of Vie Senate and the House of Representatives. The per- son having the greatest number of votes for President, is duly elec- ted, if such number be a majority of all the Electors appointed, if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers, not exceeding three, in the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immedi- ately by ballot, the President. In this election the votes are taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote on- ly. A quorum for this purpose consists of a member or members, from two thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states is ne- cessary to a choice. If the House of Representatives shall not choose a President, whenever t!ie right of choice devolves upon them, before the 4th of March next ensuing, then the Vice Presi- dent shall act as President. In the event of the failure of the House of Representatives to se- lect either a President or Vice President, it becomes the duty of the Secretary of State, to communicate information thereof to the Executive of each state, and to cause the same to be published in the newspapers, giving two months previous notice, that Elec- tors of President shall be appointed or chosen in the several states, within thirty-four days next preceding the first Wednesday in De- cember ensuing, when the choice of President shall proceed as usual. The period of service is four years. ELECTION OF PRESIDENT BY CONGRESS* Election of President in 1824. In the year 1824 there was no choice of President by the Elec- toral colleges, and the election, of necessity, devolved upon Con- gress. The lists of votes forwarded by the Electors, were opened in the chamber of the House of Representatives, in the presence of the Senate, on the 12th of February, 1825, and gave the annexed result: PRESIDENT VICE PRESIDENT. it i STATES. 1 n3 ^ c n C.Cj th'l Mac d.

The Congress of the United States, consists of the Senate and House of Representatives — the former composed of 48 in number, the latter of 243, of whom three are delegates from Territories. There are two Senators from each state, chosen by the legisla- tures of the severs! states, one third of them being elected bien- nially. The Senate have, upon all nominations by the President of the United States, a voice of advice and consent or otherwise; in which case it sits with closed doors, and the journal of its pro- ceedings is then secret. The Senate is also a court for the trial of high crimes and misdemeanours upon impeachments by the House of Representatives. Senators, when elected, must be thirty years of age. The House of Representatives is composed of members from the several states, elected by the people, for the term of two years. The number in each state is apportioned according to the popula- tion, one representative being returned for every 47,700 persons. A census of the inhabitants of the United States, must be taken every ten years. The first enumeration was made in 1790, the fifth in 1830. Members of the House of Representatives must be twenty-five years of age. Since the 4th of March, 1807, the compensation of each Senator and Representative, has been $8 per day, during the period of his attendance in Congress, without deduction in case of sickness ; and $8 for every twenty miles travel, in the usual road, in going to and returning from the seat of government. The compensa- tion of the Speakerof theHouseofRepresentatives,is|16perday. Congress must assemble at least once in every year, on the first Monday in December. The President of the United States may convene a special session at any time, upon giving forty days no- tice. Neither House can adjourn for more than three days, with- out the consent of the other. In case of disagreement about the time of adjournment, the President, may adjourn them to such time as he thinks proper. The Senate and House form each ^eir own rules, and are, respectively, judges of their own electioBu THE JUDICIARy. if The Judiciary. The Judiciary power of the United States is vested in one Su- preme Court, thirty-one District Courts, and seven Circuit Courts, which are organised as follows : The Supreme Court is com- posed of one Chief Justice and six Associate Judges, who hold a court in the city of Washington, annually; besides which, each of these Justices attends a certain Circuit, comprising two or more districts, and together with the Judge of the District, com- pose a Circuit Court, which is holdenin each District of the Cir- cuit. The District Courts are held respectively by the District Judges alone. Appeals are allowed from the District to the Cir- cuit Court, and from the Circuit to the Supreme Court. Each state is one district, for the purpose of holding District and Cir- cuit Courts therein, with the exception of New York, Pennsyl- vania, Virginia, Tennessee, Louisiana and Alabama, each of which is divided into two districts. There are, besides. Territorial Courts, which are temporary, and lose that character whenever a Territory becomes a state. The Supreme Court has jurisdiction in all cases affecting am- bassadors and consuls, and those in which a state is a party. It has appellate jurisdiction in all cases arising under the federal constitution, in all admiralty cases, in controversies beiween two states, or two citizens of different states, and between a state and the citizens thereof, and foreign states or subjects. In this court witnesses are allowed one dollar twenty-five cents per day, and five cents a mile for travelling expenses. The Judges are appoint- ed by the President, with the advice and consent of the Senate. The following are the present judges : Chief Justice.

The standing or regular army of the United States, is extremely small — for having no formidable enemy in our immediate vicinity, there is but little occasion for regular troops. In 1815, the strength of the army was fixed by act of Congress, at 9980 men. In 1821, the number was reduced to 6442, and in January 1832, a still fur- ther reduction took place, and the number was as follows, viz : 1 Major General, 2 Brigadier Generals, 1 Adjutant General, 2 Inspectors General, 1 Quarter Master General, 4 Quarter Mas- ters, 1 Commissary General of Subsistence, 2 Commissaries, 1 Surgeon General, 12 Surgeons, 25 Assistant Surgeons, 1 Paymas- ter General, 14 Paymasters, 1 Commissary General of Purchases, 2 Military Storekeepers, 14 Colonels, 14 Lieutenant Colonels, 22 Majors, 136 Captains, 159 First Lieutenants, 158 Second Lieu- tenants, 12 Sergeant Majors, 12 Quarter-master Sergeants, 438 Sergeants, 464 Corporals, 22 Buglers, 15 Principal Musicians, 212 Musicians, 108 Artificers, 250 Ordnance men, 5052 Pri- vates. Aggregate, 1,198. The miUtia constitutes the principal military force of the coun- try, as it comprises all the males between the ages of 18 and 45. When the militia are called into the field for actual service, they have the same pay and allowances as the regular army, but are only bound to serve for six months. The number of militia in the several states and territories, is as follows : Maine, 41,136 New Hamptshire, - - 29,149 Massachusetts, 49,500 Connecticut, - 24,893 Rhode Island, - 9,600 Vermont, - 27,653 New York, - 188,615 New Jersey, - 39,171 Pennsylvania, - - 177,743 Delaware, - 7.454 Maryland, 46;il3 Virginia, - 101,051 North Carolina, 61,785 South CaroHna, - 49,512 Georgia, - 39,056 Kentucky, - - 63,602 Tennessee, 60,887 Ohio, - 125,159 Louisiana, - 14,808 Indiana, - 40,000 Mississippi, 13,724 Illinois, - 8,521 Alabama, - 30,000 Missouri, - 7,838 Michigan, 1,503 Arkansas, - 2,028 Dis. of Columbia, 1,756 Florida, (no return.) Total, 1,262,315 The Navy of the United States is at present small in point of numbers, but its efficiency was fully established during the last war with Great Britain. The model of the American ships of war, ia extremely neat and symmetrical. From 1816 to 1821, one rail- lion of dollars was expended annually in building ships of war. Bince 1821, the suras thus appropriated have been reduced one ARMY AND NAVY. 11 half. The strength of the American Navy was, in 1832, as fol- loivs : 7 ships of the line, 7 frigates of the first rate, 3 of the second rate, 15 sloops of war, 8 schooners.

The same states have not all uniformly adhered to the same mode ; and the mode may be varied at the pleasure of the state legislatures. f There is no senate in the legislature of Vermont ; but the executive council, consisting of the governor, lieutenant-governor, and 12 counsellors, elected by the freemen, are empowered to lay before the general assembly such business as shall appear to them necessary; also to revise and propose amendments to the laws passed by the house of representatives. t The number of representatives in the legislature of Massa- chusetts in 1831, was 481 ; but the number is very variable. \ The pay of the senators, in the legislature of Connecticut, is |2 a day ; that of the representatives, $1.50. il The upper house, which forms an independent branch of the legislature of New Jersey, is styled the "Legislative Council."
