                Ordered that a committee to consist of five Electors be appointed
by the chair to prepare and report the Form of certificates

with the necessity of qualification by the Electors, before

resolution, which was read and adopted.

taking the oath prescribed by the Constitution and Laws, and
by declaring this belief in the Christian Religion.

required by law to be delivered to the Electors by the Executive

table.
                John S. Purnell Esquire, who had been duly proclaimed
by the Executive Authority of the State, elected one of the Electors of
President and Vice President of the United States, in and for the
