SEC. 38. And be it enacted, That all laws, clauses and sections

It was presumed that every provision of the act of 1790, ch. 16, was
re-enacted or repealed by this law. Upon a more minute comparison of
that act with this, since the reprint of this, I find, that the latter part of the
9th, and the following sections are not re-enacted by this law, to wit :
1790.— CHAPTER 16.
* SEC. 9. And the governor and council shall as soon as
conveniently may be, after such examination and declaration,
transmit a certificate of the election of the representatives, under
the seal of this state, to the secretary of state for the United
States, or other proper officer authorized to receive the same, to
be by him delivered to the house of representatives in the con-
gress of the United States, when they shall be assembled at the
time and place directed and fixed on by the congress of the
United States.
'SEC. 12. And be it enacted, That the said electors [of pre-
sident and vice-president,] shall receive the same per diem
allowance, and itinerant charges as are allowed to the members
of the general assembly.
'SEC. 13. Repealed by 1825, ch. 121.
'SEC. 14. And be it enacted, That if a vacancy or vacancies
shall happen in the representation of this state, in the house of
representatives in the congress of the United States, by death,
resignation, disqualification, or otherwise, the governor and
council shall issue writs of election to the district where such
vacancy shall happen, to fill the same in the manner herein
before prescribed.'
