Medina, Mich., Dec., 1852.

Mr. Editor:—I wish to enquire whether any good reason can be given for the present system of choosing President, through electors. Certainly powerful reasons can be brought against it; and if there are none in favor of it, (and I confess I know of none,) why not call the attention of Congress to the subject of abolishing the system.

I, probably, feel more indignant, in consequence of having been compel'ed, at the late election, to vote the Whig Free Soil, halfway abolition ticket, instead of voting for the man of my choice, William Goodell, as there was no electoral ticket got up for him in this State.

I cannot close without expressing my joy at the election of Gerrit Smith. God be praised for one abolition Congressman!
