Jonathan Dayton in the United States Senate (October 24, 1803)

October 24, 1803.
Mr. Dayton . . . said the great inducements of the framers of the Constitution to admit the office of Vice President was, that, by the mode of choice, the best and most respectable man should be designated; and that the Electors of each State should vote for one person at least, living in a different State from themselves.
